“Consciousness and thoughts impact the physical state of our world.”

“When I am in my true consciousness, I see the Earth as my home and all beings as my family. It is then that I naturally take care of the Earth and all beings.”

“Women have the ability to create a new vision for the future… more and more they are becoming the catalysts to motivate positive change and to create a voice for the future.”

"If fashion can spread, peace can also spread. How does fashion begin? It begins with one. If you put a pebble in a pond. It doesn’t just go down t0 the bottom, but it creates ripples all around."

"The important thing is making the soul resilient. I develop stability, strength and focus through meditation."

"If I lose touch with myself, I lose contact with inner peace, and my attention is totally out there. Then materialism, consumerism, exploitation and violence – all of this happens."

"My conscience is speaking to me very softly. My emotions are speaking very loudly. So, the emotions take over rather than my conscience. But if I practise a little bit of silence, a little bit of peace and meditation, I can hear my conscience clearly."

'When there is disappointment, can I ask myself the question, what is this situation teaching me? Don’t think that it’s a failure. Don’t think that it’s a loss. Question, what can I learn from this."

“More and more people are turning towards meditation and spiritual practices in their daily life. The movement from darkness to truth is happening.”

“The future is in our hands and each one has a part to play.”

“Without spirituality and faith, I don’t think we can reverse the effect of climate change.”

“The quality of any society or community is a reflection of the personal qualities of its members.”

“The main thing that we have forgotten is that we have the capacity and ability to be masters of our own minds.”

“It is possible for me to have such mastery of my mind that I am able to carry it to a different level of consciousness and be free from the impact of any negativity.”

“The quality of my consciousness can be such that life becomes more purposeful, happier and more meaningful.”

“The purpose of my life, is to be able to transform myself and help others on a journey of transformation so that together we are able to create a better world.”

“If I can generate thoughts of peace, respect, appreciation, gratitude and compassion it will help me grow on an inner level but also affect all my relationships for the better.”

“We often fail to value ourselves because we identify with external labels like, nationality, gender, physical attributes or achievements rather than our unique ‘inner personality’.”

“Over time, if we repeatedly ignore our conscience, that ‘internal filter’ becomes damaged, allowing negative thoughts to pass into action unchecked.”

“If I can take care of my mind, love it, make friends with it, and talk sweetly to it - it will serve my purpose very well.”

“Part of the story of Raja Yoga Meditation is the awakening of the conscience.”

“My thoughts are a very special resource. In a pure, elevated consciousness I can use my thoughts in the best possible way.”

“Change has to start with me. I cannot change things ‘out there’. Let me change things inside - this will have an impact.”

On handling Global Darkness: “We are at a transition point. The only thing I need to do is ignite the light within and keep it shining brightly.”

“When I learn how to manage my thoughts, my life becomes filled with a great dignity and love, and I am able to share that light and love with others.”

“At this time we are seeing the darkest part of negativity but we are also seeing the awakening happening.”

“Do something powerful to help yourself. Give time to yourself especially first thing in the morning, prepare your mind for the day.”
