The Ministry of AYUSH and Heartfulness have several collaboration platforms being developed for various active initiatives in India and abroad.
On two recent occasions, Daaji has been invited by the Government of India and the Ministry of AYUSH to share his guidance with the world on Yoga and Heartfulness practices. Please find the links to those videos below that can be further shared as needed with all.
