The official release from the ‘Art of Living’ stated, “The first World Meditation Day marked an unparalleled celebration of unity and inner peace. With participants tuning in from over 180 countries, the event showcased the transformative power of meditation as a global movement.”
Starting with the inaugural event at the United Nations and culminating in a live session led by Gurudev from atop the World Trade Center (New York), the day witnessed a wave of meditation sweeping across continents.
The list of records broken included the ‘Guinness World Record’ for most viewers of a guided meditation live stream on YouTube.

And then go beyond the feeling towards the inner space. If you want to be sane, sensitive and sensible, you need to meditate. Meditation is not inactivity. It makes you more dynamic and peaceful. Even to be a revolutionary, you need to meditate.”
