KZN pupils learn meditation and mindfulness in peace-building programme
A KwaZulu-Natal school hosted meditation, yoga and social-cohesion activities as part of a Sivananda World Peace Foundation programme for pupils.
The Sivananda World Peace Foundation recently organized a peace-building programme for pupils in KwaZulu-Natal, focusing on social cohesion, wellness, and peace among young people. The event, held at Eniwe High School, featured activities such as meditation, breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness sessions, alongside discussions on respect, moral regeneration, and peaceful co-existence.
Prince Ishwar Ramlutchman Mabheka Zulu, president of the foundation and Royal Ambassador for Social Cohesion and Economic Development in the Zulu Kingdom, emphasized that peace-building should begin with young people, stating that teaching meditation and respect for different cultures plants the seed for a peaceful society. The programme included yoga under the theme "Unity in Diversity" and wellness sessions aimed at promoting emotional well-being.
This initiative is part of the foundation's broader efforts to promote Swami Sivananda's teachings through its Sivananda Peace Pillars initiative, continuing its youth development, scholarship, and community upliftment programs in rural KwaZulu-Natal, and preparing for the 12th International Day of Yoga.
