In a significant development for India's spiritual community, the World Meditation Foundation has appointed Pujya Shree Shivkrupanand Swamiji, the revered founder of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, to its esteemed World Meditation Expert Committee. This appointment marks a momentous global recognition of India's profound spiritual leadership and expertise in meditation practices.
Global Recognition Following UNESCO's World Meditation Day Declaration
The honor comes shortly after UNESCO's historic declaration of December 21 as World Meditation Day, an initiative spearheaded by the World Meditation Foundation to foster worldwide mental and spiritual well-being. This timing underscores the growing international emphasis on meditation as a vital tool for holistic health.
Recently, the World Meditation Day Committee and Jungto Society invited Swamiji as a distinguished speaker at the Second World Meditation Day Forum, held on March 20-21, 2026, at the Jungto Social and Cultural Centre in Seoul, South Korea. This invitation acknowledged his deep spiritual insight and decades of dedicated service to humanity.
Swamiji's Spiritual Journey and Global Impact
Pujya Swamiji, who resides at Mahudi Village Road near Gandhinagar in Gujarat, has spent several years in the Himalayas engaged in intense spiritual practice. Through this rigorous discipline, he attained profound knowledge that he has been sharing with society for over 31 years through meditation teachings.
Today, practitioners across 72 countries experience transformative spiritual growth through Himalayan Samarpan Dhyan, an enduring testament to his global influence and the universal appeal of his teachings.
World Meditation Day Forum: A Convergence of Wisdom and Science
This year's World Meditation Day Forum brought together eminent meditation masters, leading scientists, and global practitioners to address the world's rising mental, emotional, and environmental challenges. The conference aims to create a holistic, science-aligned, and globally inclusive meditation ecosystem that bridges ancient wisdom with modern research.
Swamiji's guidance is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the forum's vision, particularly in advancing the universal philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'—the world is one family. His contribution powerfully underscores India's leadership in nurturing global harmony through meditation and spiritual wisdom, reinforcing the country's position as a beacon of peace and enlightenment on the world stage.
