Yoga has been known to mankind for thousands of years and it is believed to have a deep, positive effect on a person’s health, creativity, emotions and on many other aspects. There are many miraculous stories – some of which were not able to go through scientific verification due to their time.
Sahaja Yoga has been discovered in the 20th century and its effects have been proved scientifically for the first time in the history of yoga. Numerous research has been conducted on Sahaja Yoga in the fields of neurophysiology, sociology an deven in chemistry and agriculture. Such research verified the positive effects of Sahaja Yoga scientifically. Findings have been verified with individual experiences in Sahaja Yoga as well. Researches were carried out in many countries starting with India, Australia and Russia.
A summary of the researches has been provided below. To view the entire details kindly visit the links under the titles.
