The Prison Programme is conducted in most  Indian Prisons.  Over  1,20,000 prisoners in India have participated in the programme.   The Prison Programme enables prisoners to release stress and negative feelings through simple breathing techniques & yoga.  This works on the physical, mental and emotional states of the prisoners, which gives them a calm and clear state of mind. It also reduces anxiety and aggression.  Prisoners are given the opportunity to partake in vocational training, which reinstates their self-esteem  and further aids in their rehabilitation.

Knowledge and Mediation centers across the country, where people from all walks of life can come and meditate and celebrate life.
