1. Webinar: Heartfulness Sessions in residential neighborhoods and societies
Starts: 23rd of August 2015, PM
Conducted by: Christian Duerr, Chennai Chhavi Sisodia, Roorkee

2. What is Heartfulness?
An approach to present Sahaj Marg in a universally acceptable manner.
It allows the aspirant to absorb components of Sahaj Marg at his or her own pace.
It includes a step-by-step, scientific approach to the practice.
It is evolving and will continue to change as instructed by Rev. Kamlesh bhai

3. “Sahaj Marg is very much there with this Heartfulness programme
“Sahaj Marg is very much there with this Heartfulness programme. Shri Ram Chandra Mission is an institution, Sahaj Marg is the name of the path that we follow, and Heartfulness is the way we approach people, the way we approach our own hearts, the way we approach the divinity in our hearts with love, the essence of Sahaj Marg.”
Kamlesh D. Patel, Tiruvallur, 24th July 2015

4. “The big wave is already there
“The big wave is already there. Let’s take the benefit of it and make every person aware of Sahaj Marg meditation; that we exist. They may continue, they may not continue. It does not matter. As long as they know we are here to help them, they will come one day whenever their heart really craves for it.”
Kamlesh D. Patel, Tiruvallur, 24th July 2015

5. “What is the cause of Sahaj Marg
“What is the cause of Sahaj Marg? When do you say one is spiritually awakened?
The spiritual awakening of all is our cause. The spiritually awakened individual leads a life full of Heartfulness.”
Kamlesh D. Patel, Bangalore, 29th July 2015

6. That must become our cause and how are we going to do it?”
“If Sahaj Marg is a movement, not an organisation, and if the Sahaj Marg movement has to really touch the hearts of people, all of us will have to become conduits.
That must become our cause and how are we going to do it?”
Kamlesh D. Patel, Bangalore, 29th July 2015
