At the International Sahaja Yoga Festival which will take place in Togliatti on August 6-8, 2010, Sahaja pedagogical collective of the Sahaja Yoga kindergarten “Cool Breeze”, with the support of the publishing company “Nirmal System”, will be happy to introduce Sahaja publications for children.
Children are the future of Sahaja Yoga. And the Divine work they will be able to do depends on the level of how deep they were to comprehend Sahaja Yoga in their childhood.
In many cities of Russia, there are Sahaja Yoga meetings for kids. And it is very important because children’s meditations, in contrast to adults’ meetings, have their peculiarities:
1. The duration of a children’s meeting should not exceed 10-15 minutes.
2. The conduction of the meditation should be dynamic to keep the child’s attention on the main point.

4. Parents are the people who Shri Mataji has trusted the upbringing of realized Souls. That is why they play an active role when conducting meditations at home and are responsible for their child’s visiting collective children’s meetings.
5. That’s children’s nature that they copy everything that adults do. That is why they copy our attitude to meditation and Sahaja Yoga.
CDs and booklets that have been published this year in Russia helping parents and everyone who works with children in Sahaja Yoga in different cities of Russia:
