Heartfulness has set a new Guinness World Record for the most viewers of a guided meditation livestream on YouTube, achieving a landmark moment for global wellbeing initiatives. The record-setting meditation was led by Revered Daaji, Global Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, on World Meditation Day.
Heartfulness Sets Guinness World Record for Meditation Livestream
An estimated 20 million participants from 175 countries engaged with the initiative through physical gatherings, institutional programs, and online participation, making it one of the largest wellbeing events ever recorded. The scale and geographical spread of participation is unprecedented for a meditation-led initiative.
The flagship morning session took place at Kanha Shanti Vanam, the world’s largest meditation centre, and was attended by the Hon’ble Vice President of India, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Telangana Governor Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, and Telangana Minister for IT Shri D. Sridhar Babu. This underscored the growing recognition of meditation as a practical tool for mental resilience and social cohesion.
Over 2,500 police stations across Madhya Pradesh hosted meditation sessions, with more than 50,000 police personnel participating simultaneously. Schools, colleges, corporates, city administrations, and local governments across India also organised sessions. Internationally, over 200 embassies and consulates, along with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), joined the global meditation.
The initiative was supported by Heartfulness’ extensive volunteer network, with 16,000 trained volunteers facilitating sessions across 280 ashrams and more than 6,000 centres worldwide. Media amplification further expanded its reach, with coverage across 100+ television channels.
Daaji’s guided meditation incorporated Pranahuti, a distinctive Heartfulness practice aimed at fostering mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner calm. Heartfulness is rooted in the teachings of Lalaji Maharaj and Babuji Maharaj.
Daaji’s Masterclasses—a structured series explaining Heartfulness practices—will be released soon and will be accessible to a global audience. These sessions are designed for individuals seeking to begin or deepen their spiritual journey.
