Abstract

Brahma Kumaris Sahaj Raja Yoga Meditation is a simple yet practical techniqueto bring the
mental peace and inner harmony in today’s chaotic times. The research on the practices of
such techniques has shown that, they are great help in thestress management and in the
prevention of many of the psychosomaticdiseases. Raj Yoga is the highest yoga that
empowers the self to rule the mind, sense-organs and the body. It is based on the Prajapati
Brahma Kumarie’s school of thought. There are several psychological benefits incurred by
Raja yoga which have not been highlighted due to scarcity of scientific studies.The present
study examined the effect of Raja Yoga Meditation practice on emotional intelligence of
women who’s emotional and behavioural responses varied on the basis of Biopsychosocial
factors. Especially in Indian society women’s mental health is affected mainly due to male
chauvinism culture.A large no of women population is still not open for their emotional
expression which is not a true definition of ‘women empowerment’ in contemporary times.
Mere legislative governance will not help in this, women need to feel freedom at core level.
The paper is based on primary data collected through field survey of 600 women from NCR
region of India Results suggest that the group practicing Raja Yoga had significantly less
emotional disturbance and able to manage their emotions well in comparison to the group not
practicing Raja Yoga Meditation
