World Meditation Day: A Global Revolution
For four decades, Gurudev has inspired millions to discover the power within; transforming individuals, communities, and nations. From ending wars and facilitating the surrender of militants to revolutionizing education, and empowering farmers, Gurudev has used meditation to bring about profound change. His efforts have transformed countless lives of prison inmates, rural women and have also helped build drug-free campuses for youth, foster corporate well-being, and promote global harmony, impacting millions in over 180 countries.
In 2024, the UN designated Dec 21 as World Meditation Day. For this historic event, Gurudev will guide millions across the world in meditation on Dec. 21, 2025.
