Is Sahaja Meditation right for you?
The true answer is that it depends on what you're looking for. If you've read every page of this site, odds are good that you've already decided whether or not Sahaja is right for you.
Having practiced Sahaja Meditation for more than 15 years, here's my personal quick list of the pros and cons:
Pros
• Provides the ultimate insight into spirituality
• Can transform your life
• Gives you a great meditative experience
• Gives you total control over yourself and a lot of mental and emotional strength and stability
• Sahaja Meditation centers offer a nice, friendly atmosphere -- an enjoyable place to spend some free time and get to know great like-minded individuals in the Sahaja community (It's not a place for freaks, weirdos or "cultists")
• Totally free. No scam involved, a genuine not-for-profit that does not charge money for an invaluable service; Sahaja completely defies the "no free lunch" paradigm
• Completely safe, no harmful side-effects, even if you discontinue the practice of Sahaja, or practice incorrectly or ineffectively
• Highly flexible; you can start or stop Sahaja any time you like.
• It's not a fad or a flash-in-the-pan; Sahaja Meditation has been practiced by millions of normal, real-world people world-wide for over 40 years.
Cons
• Can take some time to actually feel the energy, though with continued practice, everyone does feel it. During this time, it can feel like the whole energy stuff is just fiction or a figment of people's imagination. But wait patiently until you really feel it, then you'll truly understand what's involved.
• It's not your typical generic, short-term-fix, 3-week or 6-week meditation class. In order to continue receiving the benefits, in order to change your life, you must be willing to make a long-term investment
• Will force you to face some hard truths about yourself and your life
• While you can practice it on your own, you cannot get a very deep experience without collective or group meditations and drawing upon that combined energy. In other words, for quicker, more sustainable benefits, group meditations are a necessity though never mandatory. Nothing ever is mandated in Sahaja.
• It's possible to become overwhelmed and feel lost when analyzing the spiritual nature of Sahaja Meditation. That's because we're not geared to understand spirituality easily. You'll likely to have to unlearn some things before you can truly understand it.
