The Institute for Yoga Education Research and Holistic Sciences (IYERHS), a Member Institution of the Indian Yoga Association in the North-East region, launched a large-scale meditation initiative titled ‘Dhyan Se Gyan’ on the auspicious occasion of World Meditation Day, in association with NIRAMAYA – School of Yoga Education.
Conceived as a transformative wellness movement, the initiative carries a powerful sankalpa to conduct over 1,000 meditation programmes across the country in its first phase. The vision, objectives, and execution roadmap of the programme were outlined by Dr. Ajit Kumar Bhattacharjee, Dr. Apratim Nag, Shatakshi Bhattacharjee, and Bikramjit Chakraborty, executives of both institutions. They emphasised meditation as a vital tool for cultivating mental clarity, emotional stability, and social harmony.
The campaign was formally inaugurated on 21 December, World Meditation Day, with a grand meditation programme organised in collaboration with 3 Assam NCC Battalion. Over 1,000 participants experienced a deeply calming and elevating meditation session guided by Shatakshi Bhattacharjee, Zonal Coordinator (North-East), IYA, and Yogacharya Divya Geetanand, Chairman, IYERHS. The session created a collective atmosphere of silence, awareness, and inner bliss.
As part of its outreach and developmental initiatives, representatives of IYERHS met Shri Mihir Kanti Shome, Hon’ble MLA, Udharband, Assam. The discussions focused on the expansion of free yoga education programmes under the NIRAMAYA banner, particularly in rural and underserved areas. The interaction reinforced a shared commitment to integrating yoga into public health and education systems.
In addition to its North-East initiatives, IYERHS extended its wellness outreach to Ghaziabad and Delhi, where 25 free ‘Yogic Wellness’ programmes were conducted. These programmes aimed to familiarise the public with yogic practices for physical health, mental well-being, and stress management, in alignment with the mission of the Indian Yoga Association.
The programmes received enthusiastic participation and were effectively coordinated by Smt Navaswati Bhattacharjee and Smt Swati Deb, whose dedicated efforts ensured smooth execution and community engagement.
