To celebrate the third ‘International Day of Yoga’ on 21st June 2017, an open house session was organized at Nagpur Dhyana Kendra. A ‘Learn to Meditate’ programme was conducted to introduce the general public to meditation and Kriya Yoga.
To generate awareness amongst the general public and to inform them about the programme, articles on Guruji and Yoga meditation were published just a day before the International Day of Yoga.
The programme started with a Bhajan session followed by a brief introduction to Yogoda Satsanga Society’s activities. The congregation was then led into a brief period of guided meditation which ended with prayers for all those in need of healing, and for world peace and harmony. After this, the audience was shown a previously recorded Doordarshan interview of Swami Ishwarananda Giri.
Registration and book-sales counter were also setup during the programme for lesson subscription, information, sales, etc.
