On June 21st 2015, for the first time in history, the world was observing International Yoga Day. It was declared by the UN General Assembly and suggested by the Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi to be on June 21st as it is the longest day of the year (Summer Solstice) in the Northern Hemisphere. From Yoga perspective, Summer Solstice marks the transition to Dakshinayana which is considered a time when the Nature is most supportive for doing Spiritual practices. Also, the first full moon after Sumer Solstice is known as Guru Poornima, a day when Lord Shiva (Adi Guru) is said to have started imparting the knowledge of Yoga to the world.
In order to commemorate this occasion worldwide, Raja Yogi Mohanji’s followers assembled across the globe to practice the powerful dynamic meditation technique called The Conscious Walking. Conscious Walking is a newly created technique by Raja Yogi Mohanji. This simple yet very transformative technique is free of charge, and has multiple benefits:
– It helps self control,
– It reduces anxieties, anger, insecurities and fears,
– It increases concentration.

Conscious Walking in Mumbai
“Meditative walk in the lungs of Mumbai — we conducted Conscious Walk in Aarey this morning. 13 people joined us and enjoyed a refreshing meditative walk in a nature park in the middle of Mumbai metropole. The monsoon graced us with a gentle break, rain stopped exactly for the entire period of our walk and allowed us to breath in fresh air while fully going within.”
Conscious Walking in Pune
“Our first Conscious Walking in Pune was an interesting and new experience for many. Although it was raining heavily and we couldn’t go out in nature, we carried on with our walk indoors. Some could practice very well, some wanted to practise it regularly to get the hang of it. People who have learned the technique found it useful as a daily tool to practice everyday. A nice start on the International World Yoga Day.”
Conscious Walking in Delhi
“As the world celebrated the 1st Yoga Day, about 50 souls stepped out early morning to do the first Conscious Walk with Grace of Shri Rajyogi Mohanji. The Conscious Walk was organised at three locations in Delhi and its suburb Gurgaon. Some of the locations also did chanting, humming and breathing exercise before doing the Conscious Walk. People at Nizamuddin location also did yoga after the Conscious Walk. Every person who took part felt the immediate meditative calm after doing the Conscious Walk as this was completely different from morning walks while chatting with friends. In fact, some of the people have already got hooked on this and want to do Conscious Walk every day!“

UAE
Conscious Walking in Dubai
“At 7 o’clock, we gathered at Zabeel Park, Dubai for our first conscious walk in UAE. After a brief about the conscious walk, which is designed by our beloved Mohanji for the betterment of the world, we started with deep breathing to calm ourselves from the day’s hectic activities. Then, we rotated our neck clockwise and anticlockwise three times, to relax our neck and shoulders. Afterwards, we started our walk.
It was almost 40 degrees outside and over 50% humidity. But, once we started walking, we didn’t realize anything. We all had Mohanji filled within us. After around 20 minutes walking, we all shared our experiences. Rajeev said he constantly heard Mohanji’s voice, saying, “Concentrate on your spine”! Iliana said she felt a real calmness beaming out from within. Goolcher felt as if she was getting aligned, both bodily and mentally. Jay was walking quietly and slowly, enjoying the bliss!
Thank you, Mohanji, for this wonderful gift!“
South Africa
Conscious Walking in Durban
“Today marked an auspicious day in the lives of all these connected to Mohanji. As a gift to the whole world, on this day the international Yoga day, Mohanji introduces Conscious walking. It is a dynamic mediation at allows one to be in the present and expand awareness.
We had our first conscious walking session during our visit to the retreat venue. It was amazing. Even the retreat manager joined us and had after the experience asked if she could join us for meditations to experience more.
Thank you for this blessing on this wonderful day. To have you introduce this mediation and come to South Africa on fathers day, is such a blessing. Thank you Babaji. Thank you.”

Conscious Walking in Novi Sad
“CONSCIOUS WALK on the first summer day – After the cold and windy sunrise we had a really chilly morning for the last day of spring. The energy flow was high both from the fresh air and because there is no distraction on secondary things, all attention is on the inside and breathing. Mind is cleansed and energy spared and accumulated. After meditative conscious walk, feeling we spontaneously wished to meditate so we ended the conscious walk with a short meditation.”
UK
Conscious Walking in Watford
“The Conscious Walking was done at the Hare Krishna temple in Watford, UK. There were 17 walkers in total, no doubt Mohanji was with us which would make 18.”
Macedonia
Conscious Walking in Skopje
“Today in the City park in Skopje, we practiced the technique for dynamic meditation “Conscious Walking” developed by Mohanji. Though the heavily rainy day wanted to dishearten us from practicing, the rain stopped right on start off time so we could consciously walk for half an hour. In the end we practiced the powerful technique “Inverted Pyramid” which was a full jackpot since each one of the present reported experiencing Oneness and Expanded Consciousness.”

Conscious Walking for half an hour in the morning has given me solace and peace. You become one with yourself.Your whole body gets filled up with love, tears flow. And after CW when you sit on a bench in the park with closed eyes it seems as if you are part of universe , everything is moving and you are floating in it.
Heard about CW for the first time after 7am Yoga Class at Stoneleigh Rajarjeswari Amman temple today.Planning to read more and apply and see.
Has any Medical Team taken the responsibilty of any reasearch study on this subject?If so I would like to read these articles.

I love Mohanji and I have deep respect for Mohanji.
1. How can you trademark “conscious walking”?
If you are the sole owner of “conscious walking” — it means the rest of the world can only have “unconscious walking” — since “conscious walking” is owned by you.
2. You did not invent conscious walking.
Conscious walking has been done for tens of thousands of years.
The Buddha was consciously walking.
A Zen master had a poem: “Walking in Zen, Sitting in Zen”.
You did not invent it.
Everybody has been doing it.
How can you claim trademark on it?
3. What else can you trademark next?
Can you trademark “conscious awareness”?
That means no one has “conscious awareness” except you, or with your permission.

You can trademark a name, say you invent a meditation: you call it Bamavama, or Bilipuri (these are just invented names)
You can trademark Bilipuri meditation, because it is your name.
How can you trademark “conscious walking”?
How can you trademark “conscious awareness” or “inner meditation”.
This is what all the fools are doing, they invent more and more meditations so they put a trademark on it and charge you money and complicate things even further.
But “conscious walking” cannot be trademarked and it has been done by Buddha and ancient sages for 100 thousand years.
It is silly.
I love and respect Mohanji, so I am not a “hater”
But this is very silly.
Dear Deva Matta,
Thank you for sharing your perspective and sentiments. We understand your concerns on the general trend of trademarking / copyrighting common tools and techniques for commercial gains.
We would like to point out that Mohanji has made His tools, techniques or practices such as the meditations available free of cost on the website. Practices like Conscious Walking, Conscious Dancing, etc are not elaborated on the website to ensure that the techniques are imparted correctly. They are taught free by our volunteers and Acharyas across the globe. Similarly, initiation into Consciousness Kriya is free but there is an evaluation and approval process since it is meant for serious practitioners.
Conscious Walking has its origins in Buddhist techniques but Mohanji has made significant additions to the techniques to improve its effectiveness. We want our techniques to be freely available to all as received by Mohanji without distortions and without the risk of being coopted and commercially exploited by others. Hence, we trademark and copyright for two reasons – sanctity and prevention of abuse.
Hope this clarifies. Please feel free to get in touch with us at info@mohanji.org should you have any additional queries, concerns or comments.
