Members of the Heartfulness Media Team traveled with DAAJI to rural Telangana on the Deccan Plateau, to document the meditation sessions he has been conducting with the villagers in Mahbubnagar District. Here MONU SINGH treats us to just a glimpse of the silent revolution that is sweeping the villages of India through meditation programs in the heartland of the country.

Clean air, green farms, simple hearts, and village life … it sounds so idyllic, but rural life in India can be very difficult. Here are some snippets from conversations with eight local villagers in Mahbubnagar District, about their lives before starting meditation and how Heartfulness has transformed them.

Elderly lady: “I had so many fears about finances, family matters. I used to fear seeing everybody, I was scared of everything.”

Potter: “I was always scared that other people may harm me.”

Farmer: “It has been a long time since I slept well.”

Mother: “I would get very angry without realizing it.”

Elderly gentleman: “I was losing my confidence.”

Mother: “I don’t know how to change.”
