Science of Spirituality a spiritual organization dedicated to transforming lives through meditation

This afternoon, upon invitation, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, his wife Mata Rita Ji, and son Dr. Kunwarjit Singh Duggal met with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and his senior advisors at City Hall. Mayor Adams, dedicated to helping improve the lives of New York City’s residents, is exploring ways to help bring peace and calm to the lives of New Yorkers, such as first responders like police, firefighters, and medical practitioners, who are under great stress. He is also seeking ways to help students improve their concentration and school performance and give them tools to lead calm, balanced lives. Additionally, the mayor is looking for ways to give back to veterans who have served their country with honor.

Sant Rajinder Singh Ji spoke of how meditation can improve physical, mental, and emotional health, reduce stress, and bring balance, peace, and calmness into our lives. While these benefits help us navigate life’s everyday challenges, an added value is that they allow us to tap into the inner wealth of spiritual treasures we carry, thus enriching our lives. He said each of us has a reservoir of inner spiritual power. Once we tap into this power, we become peaceful and spread peace to all we meet. “Peace begins with you and me and this, in turn, will spread to our families, communities, and the world.”

Mayor Adams suggested that the city and the Science of Spirituality work together to explore projects related to meditation that could be implemented in the city. He presented Sant Rajinder Singh Ji with a Citation from the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York, welcoming him to the city and recognizing his work toward fostering inner and outer peace through meditation.  

CITATION: “As New York’s first Mayor to champion a plant-based diet, I am pleased to count Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj in this mission, and I applaud his commitment to fostering peace and interfaith harmony while inspiring diverse people on the paths to spiritual growth.”

The spiritual Master, in turn, presented the mayor with a signed copy and special inscription of his newest book Detox the Mind containing tips, meditations, and exercises to reduce daily stress and find joy within, along with Meditation as Medication for the Soul, with research by experts and medical practitioners on how meditation improves physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

May 18, 2023  Inauguration  Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, accompanied by his wife Mata Rita Ji and son Dr. Kunwarjit Singh Duggal, arrived in Washington D.C. for a two-day spiritual program. The highlight of the first day was the inauguration of the Science of Spirituality (SOS) Center at 2950 Arizona Avenue NW, Washington D.C. The property, purchased in 2013, is in a beautiful, tree-lined residential community, two blocks from the Potomac River and five miles from the White House.

The heart of the center is a sanctuary used for spiritual gatherings and meditation. During the past ten years, the SOS Center in Washington, D.C. has served as a place for spiritual growth and personal reflection, hosting numerous interfaith programs that are open to all.

Commenting on its excellent location—surrounded by nature’s bounty, and within close proximity to well-known academic institutions and iconic monuments—Sant Rajinder Singh Ji spoke of the vital role of such a center in building human connections, helping spiritual seekers, and uplifting the community. He encouraged everyone to make the most of the center, to work together harmoniously, and to always strive to have positive, uplifting thoughts when there.

May 19, 2023  Detox the Mind for Lasting Peace and Happiness   Sant Rajinder Singh Ji spoke at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. The hall was filled to capacity with visitors and spiritual seekers from around the world. He introduced his talk, “Detox the Mind for Lasting Peace and Happiness” and explained that peace is the absence of strife. Yet, stress and strife remain a part of our daily lives.

Living at the level of our physical senses and believing that we are only physical beings, we pursue means to detox the body to achieve the happiness we seek. Yet, despite detoxing the body, our lives remain filled with stress and strife. If we are to find lasting happiness, what is needed is not a cleansing of the body, said the spiritual Master, but a detoxification of the mind, which is the root cause of the stress and strife that wreak havoc in our lives.

Detoxing the mind is the realm of the saints and spiritual Masters. They help us realize and recognize the poisons of anger, greed, attachment, panic, and expectations that plague us. They help us remove these toxins from our system by reconnecting us with God. All that is of matter eventually decays with time, he said. Only God is permanent. To find permanent happiness, we must connect with the Creator. We need to have a direct experience of our relationship with God and recognize the presence of God in our lives. We can do so through the ancient technique of meditation.
