"Group meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism."

— Paramahansa Yogananda

Group Meditation Guidelines:

• For a Group Meditation to be successful, we should ask ourselves - "What can I do to avoid distracting others?"
• Adjust your meditation stand's height before meditation begins and avoid bringing noise creating items such as plastic into the hall.
• Please go to the restroom during chanting periods only. Gentle stretching can also be done during chanting.
• There is no talking to anyone or making sounds during meditation. Kriya should be practised silently so that it is inaudible to others.
• Avoid wearing strong perfumes.

Before Meditation:

• Arrive on time. If you come late, please sit at the back of the Dhyana Mandir.
• Turn off all electronic devices.
• If you have a cough, cold, or any condition that creates noise or restlessness, please meditate at home until your condition improves.
• Wear clothes made of soft fabrics that don't make noise.

During Meditation:

• Remain still and quiet during periods of silence.
• If you need to leave, please do so during the chanting periods.
• If you are not staying for the entire meditation, please sit at the back of the Mandir.
• Consideration for others is an important part of one's spiritual growth. Thank you for being considerate.
