Welcome to the Realize America Tour 2008!
Shri Mataji Nirmala DeviFounder of Sahaja Yoga
You’ve asked for it! You’ve desired it! And it is finally here! We announce with great pleasure the first month-long Realize America Tour! Realize America 2008 is a very unique opportunity, as it represents our first endeavor to the South. From Miami, Florida, all the way to Dallas, Texas, we are hosting as many programs and events as can possibly be managed into four weeks time. With a large international group of motivated young people, we hope to spread meditation and awareness to cities in the South where meditation has not yet been introduced.
The Tour hosts a large variety of events from university programs, fairs, cultural events, scheduled public venues, music festivals, elementary schools, to even local libraries and coffee shops. The participating youth come from all over the world to join this tour, and leave with a positive life-changing experience. The Tour not only features Meditation Programs, but also hosts events that range from musical performances, dances, small plays, talent shows, and useful workshops where we teach additional meditation techniques to newcomers. Musical performances are varied from classical Indian instruments, to fusion performances with violin, tablas, and guitar. The dances in particular originate from many different cultures; such genres featured are bharatanatyam, bhangra, salsa, and flamenco. It is a rare and valuable opportunity to come together as the youth of America and work for a cause. We invite you to start the journey and bring your full potential to reality!

Who We Are
Sahaja Yoga Meditation was founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Its roots are ancient, tying together many diverse philosophies with a unique meditation based on an experience called Self-Realization. Self-Realization occurs when the individual’s dormant spiritual energy is gently awakened. In the short term, practicing Sahaja Yoga Meditation promotes balance and relaxation–the natural result of peaceful meditation. With longer-term practice, we open ourselves to real transformation as negative and destructive influences disappear from our lives.
A registered non-profit group under the name of Vishwa Nirmala Dharma, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is active in cities throughout the US and in more then 100 countries worldwide. There is never a charge for the practice of Sahaja Yoga Meditation and all meetings are free and open to the public. Read more about us
Our major summer event last year was the Realize America '07 Tour. The tour traveled in the Midwest in June-July 2007 to bring the amazing discovery of Sahaja Yoga to your doorstep.
