Abstract
ABSTRACT Increasing stress and anxiety in today's world have highlighted the importance of resilience in the lives of young people. This research examines the impact of Rajyoga Meditation as taught by the Brahma Kumaris on various aspects of resilience, namely hope, tolerance, adaptability and resilience. An experimental design was used with 100 participants split randomly into an experimental group (n = 50) and a control group (n = 50). An experimental group received a one-month structured Rajyoga meditation program of two hours per day, while the control group did not. Information was gathered using a structured interview pre- and post-intervention. The baseline data showed low levels of resilience in both groups. After the intervention, significant improvement was found in all aspects of resilience among the experimental group, with no significant change in the control group. The results suggest that Rajyoga Meditation as taught by the Brahma Kumaris increases psychological resilience, emotional stability and adaptability in young people. This research supports the use of this culturally sensitive intervention to promote psychological well-being.
