Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel ji called upon Rev. Daaji – Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission at the Heartfulness Meditation Centre in Adalaj in the outskirts of the Ahmedabad city on Monday morning. The purpose of the visit to greet Rev. Daaji, understand the works of Heartfulness Institute especially in terms of plantation drives and look at the possibilities of supporting the green initiatives. The former received a personal Heartfulness Meditation session by Rev. Daaji and was apprised about all Forest by Heartfulness projects in Gujarat especially in Vadnagar area. Rev. Daaji also presented Hon’ble CM with Gujarati translations of his bestselling books ‘Spiritual Anatomy’ and ‘The Wisdom Bridge’. Rev. Daaji also extended a warm invitation to Hon’ble Chief Minister to visit the headquarters of Heartfulness at Kanha Shanti Vanam (the largest meditation centre in the world) in the outskirts of Hyderabad city which the latter promised to oblige with a visit of two-days.
In a lighter vein, Rev. Daaji also shared that it was on 12 August 1976 that he took his first meditation sitting and therefore it is a very special day for him.
Hon’ble Chief Minister also planted a sapling of Kadamb plant (coinciding with his birth star) at the facility showing his support to the green initiatives by Heartfulness. The event was witnessed by 2500 Heartfulness practitioners who had also gathered at the centre for Heartfulness meditation.
Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel ji said, “I experienced meditation with Pranahuti or yogic Transmission from Daaji and to experience Heartfulness meditation firsthand is a benevolent blessing. Daaji is guiding crores of sincere seekers from across the globe in this practice, utilising Pranahuti. It is my belief that in the coming years, there will be more and more crores of individuals will engage in this practice, achieving both enlightenment and liberation. This spiritual awakening is essential not only for our nation, Bharat, but also for our planet Earth as we strive to establish a long-lasting era of peace and goodwill. In Gujarat, we are proud to have over 10 forestation projects underway, including significant efforts in places like Vadh Nagar, Taranga Hills, and Jamnagar, and the establishment of an innovative Nature Lab School in Vadodara. These projects show that we are living in harmony with nature, as envisioned by our ancestors. I am happy to join hands with Heartfulness and let us champion our environmental responsibility.”
Rev. Daaji – Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission said, “We are honoured to receive Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel ji at one Adalaj facility and interact with him. His joining us in the plantation is a heart-warming moment. We are looking forward to the government’s support in the multiple initiatives on greening, education and women empowerment that Heartfulness stands for. His calling upon us gives us the motivation to continue doing our service towards the mankind.”

About Heartfulness: Heartfulness offers a simple set of meditative practices and lifestyle changes, first developed at the turn of the twentieth century and formalized into teaching through the Shri Ram Chandra Mission in 1945 in India with a goal to bring peace, happiness, and wisdom to one heart at a time. These practices are a modern form of Yoga designed to support contentment, inner calm, and stillness, compassion, courage, and clarity of thought, as the first step towards a purposeful life. They are simple and easily adopted and are appropriate for people from all walks of life, cultures, religious beliefs, and economic situations, who are over the age of fifteen. Ongoing training in Heartfulness practices continues at thousands of schools and colleges, and over 100,000 professionals are meditating in corporations, non-governmental, and government bodies worldwide.
