Rajyoga meditation is now recognised as a powerful and easy-to-use tool for personal empowerment. This simple method of communion with the Supreme enriches the self with inner powers, whereby one regains control over one's thoughts, feelings, words, and actions.

Such empowerment not only helps individuals deal effectively with challenging situations and overcome stress, depression, and negative ways of thinking, it also alleviates personality disorders and other conditions that, in extreme cases, can lead to suicide.

According to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 700,000 people die every year by suicide. With life becoming increasingly complicated, the causes of suicide have multiplied. Many individuals choose to end their life when they are unable to cope with the pressures of the modern world. A soured relationship, academic failure, indebtedness, hopelessness, shame or guilt, and even bullying over the internet can push individuals over the edge.
