The four days of International Sahaja Yoga seminar (18th Mar – 21st Mar) was held at Nirmal Nagari, Pune in India. The event was hosted by seven countries i.e. collectivity of Turkey, Dubai, Israel, Tunisia, Greece, Morocco, Iran and India. These four days marked yet another milestone in expressing a collective sense of harmony through performance of various arts and plays in the form of cultural programmes amidst 8-9 thousand Sahaja Yogis, who had congregated in this Holy place of Pune. The occasion also marked offering of Puja to H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on the occasion of Maha Shivratri and celebrating the joy of Her 84th Birthday.

This was probably for the first time when such a large number of Sahaja Yogis/Yoginis had come from overseas to India. Nearly 1400 Sahaja yogi brothers and sisters had come from various parts of the globe to pay their respects and prayers to our Holy Mother Shri Mataji on Her 84th Birthday and the Shiva Puja.

Many musical programmes were conducted over these 4 days. Various Sahaja artists performed like seasoned professionals amidst a collective audience of 8-9 thousand people.  Especially the Yuvas from all over the globe presented a magical performance that spoke of the high quality of art and culture that Sahaja Yoga promises to the humanity. A marvelous performance was rendered by the NGO children from Vishwa Nirmal Prem Ashram as the little ones performed dances and bhajans in the praise of the Goddess. The melodious voices of the established Sahaja artists made the musical programmes very lively. Australian Sahaja Yogis also rendered some of the most beautiful bhajans. This was followed by marvelous and awesome performances by the Iranian collective, who sang beautiful bhajans & played their local instruments.
 
There was also a seminar conducted by the Pune collectivity on subject of ‘Experiences in spreading Sahaja Yoga at various countries’. Coordinators from the hosting countries (i.e. Turkey, Israel, Iran, Morocco, Dubai, etc.) and various states of India shared their experiences and made the sessions very meaningful for the participitants.
