Study the Influence of Rajayoga Meditation on Learning Abilities among High School Students

Author(s) Ms. Penukonda Jyothilatha, Dr. G.V. Vara Prasad
Country India
Abstract This study explores the influence of Rajayoga Meditation, as taught by the Brahma Kumaris, on the learning abilities of high school students in Andhra Pradesh, India. Rooted in the philosophical foundations of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, the research adopts an integrative framework combining traditional Indian spiritual wisdom with modern cognitive neuroscience and educational psychology. Using a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, the study investigates how 12 weeks of regular Rajayoga meditation practice impacts students’ cognitive functions, including sustained attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, as well as emotional regulation and academic performance. Quantitative tools such as the Continuous Performance Test, Digit Span Test, and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test measure cognitive outcomes, while psychological scales assess emotional well-being. Qualitative interviews and reflective journals provide insights into the lived experiences of meditation practitioners. The anticipated findings are improvements in cognitive control, enhanced emotional stability, reduced academic stress, and higher academic achievement. This research aims to contribute empirical evidence supporting the integration of Rajayoga meditation into school curricula, aligning with India’s National Education Policy and global public health objectives to promote holistic education and mental well-being.
