What is Heartfulness?
Heartfulness is about feeling. Our entire life is led by feelings and inspirations, and that is the role of the heart. When we manage to listen to the heart and capture the inspiration that comes from within, we learn to master our life. The whole exercise of fine-tuning the heart with the mind is through meditation on the heart, and that is why it is called Heartfulness Meditation.

29 January 2020 marked the inauguration of the world’s largest meditation center at Kanha Shanti Vanam, by the current Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Pujya Shri Kamlesh D.Patel (Daaji), in the august presence of Yogrishi Swamiji Baba Ramdev.
The meditation center, with its magnificent and lofty structure, grabbed the attention and imagination of everyone, with a capacity to seat 100,000 people for meditation at one time. The unveiling of this facility celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Mission, which has a global presence in 162 countries. It was dedicated by Daaji to the first guide of Heartfulness, Shri Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh (Lalaji).
Origins
Heartfulness emerged in the late 1800s in a small town called Fatehgarh on the Ganges River in the north of India. The practices are based on the ancient art of Transmission, a transformative yogic technique, which was rediscovered by Ram Chandra, who was known as Lalaji to his friends. He rediscovered Transmission when he was still a boy, and from an early age recognized the need for a simple and effective method of self-care that could be practised universally.
Lalaji went on to distill a set of essential meditative practices from the great traditions of the past into a universal system suited to the needs of modern-day life, removing all unnecessary rituals and cultural beliefs. He trained many followers during his lifetime, and among them was Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur, known to many as Babuji. In 1945, Babuji became Lalaji’s successor in the work of training and transmitting to the growing number of followers, and his work led to further refinement and evolution of the Heartfulness practices.

It was much later that I realised, when you meditate you become who you really are, you will meet who you really need to meet, and you do what you really need to do.

Heartfulness stories
I think one of the changes that has happened is the sense of acceptance of whatever comes along, you know it might not be what we’ve chosen or what we want, but it is the acceptance of whatever it is, and that comes with the faith.
