I mentioned before Christmas that I would be participating in the big yoga and meditation event 10,000 for world peace in India for two weeks in connection with the New Year. It was an absolutely amazing experience. We actually had as many as 11,000 participants. About 7,000 were from India – mainly school students from schools where they practice Transcendental Meditation. The rest really came from all corners of the world. As many as 139 countries were represented. There were about twenty of us from Sweden. When all these people did the powerful TM-sidhi program together, an atmosphere was created that is absolutely indescribable. It was as if the entire area was a single field of vibrating, joyful consciousness. And even though there were some challenges in the housing situation, there was always incredible friendliness and positivity. It was as if negative thoughts could not really be thought in that atmosphere. We also got delicious mild Indian food and it was impressive how efficiently they managed to distribute it to all these people. During the meetings between the meditations, we were visited by many influential leaders in India. And everyone agreed on how important it is to create a permanent group like this so that we can have a continuous positive influence on the world and overcome the challenges our world faces. Because really, we can create a wonderful world for all people, if we can only raise the collective consciousness in the world.
