Each human wishes for peace, joy and power, good behaviour, love and respect in relationships. We are responsible for our state of mind. There shall be adversities in our life but it is in our hands to cross them. Through the practice of Rajayoga Meditation only, we can experience all relationships with the Supreme Power, the Supreme Soul, the Supreme Father.” She touched upon the relevance of conscious living and meditation to improve the quality of life.
