Speaking in an interview conducted on October 9, 1981, to that of Vancouver Morning Radio CJOR with host Rafe Mair, HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi commented on Canada and America, saying that, “… in these countries we alone feel that there are people who will take responsibility for spiritual ascension.”

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi came to Canada several times, visiting Toronto and Vancouver to spread His vision of a world of peaceful, balanced and enlightened people and to establish Sahaja Yoga meditation centers throughout the country.

Beyond Canada, Sahaja Yoga is an internationally recognized movement, operating in over 100 countries around the world.

For his work in these areas, HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi received the United Nations Peace Medal and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
