Remember the Day in 2025 when the Founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation and the Beautiful Sahaja Yoga Day’s Flag Raising Ceremony were in the News? Let’s revisit it!
Reporters Joined the Event and interviewed our Halton Sahaja Yogis as well the Dutch Musicians that were vising in support of the 5-day New Beginnings Marathon of Wellness with Music
It was an amazing experience to see everyone coming together for such an unique and amazing way of kicking off the International Yoga Day of celebrations proposed to the Halton community by their own Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of volunteers.
For us as organizers, it was so rewarding watching all the faces around, be them of city employees, or of City officials, or of Government officials, even those of the reporters present to the event to be as joyful as ours: it was “something in the air”, the joy of celebrating the New Beginnings that started 20 years ago, and witnessing its blossoming in Burlington.
We all experienced the pure joy of celebrating Sahaja Yoga Meditation Day – honoring the 20 years of existence for Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Burlington and overall in the Halton region.
Also, it was great to see how our flag – the idea of which came from “above” (literally it was completely inspired, the same was its design) and the whole flag raising ceremony was orchestrated by the ethereal hands coordinated by a Divine heart.
We have no words to describe all the special moments of that miraculous day and the incredible happenings we witnessed in the weeks that preceded it. It felt like a “divine leela” (a Divine Play, associated with Shri Krishna deity) that we were chosen to bring it to life. Even the reporters were smiling witnessing how the natural elements had obvious key roles in this play.
The Interviewer asked about The Founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, What would She Say about Sahaja Yoga Day being Proclaimed in Burlington today?
The Reporter interviewed Ioana who brought Sahaja Yoga Meditation to Burlington 20 years ago
Surprisingly, right after the Flag raising ceremony, the local reporter who stayed for the entire ceremony, took his time to interview Ioana – who moved to Burlington 20 years ago and opened the first weekly classes of Sahaja yoga meditation, also the visiting Dutch musicians and other participants to this event.
We are sharing below some excerpts from his beautiful article that detailed this special event on June 20, 2025 celebrating 20 years of existence for Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Burlington, including his poignant question about the Founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

What a beautiful way to bring joy and positivity in a city. I feel fortunate to be a part of Burlington that’s blessed by the vibrations of pure joy! Sahaja Yoga Meditation brings so much peace, calmness, and a sense of serenity every time we practice it, that every session feels like a celebration – the joy is so real!
May the flag of Sahaja Yoga remind us to look within…because we are born with unbound energy that can be unfurled to its true potential only if we remain Sahaj!
Much love to Ioana for being a guiding light!
Shri Mataji Namoh Namaha
