Sahaja Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps reduce stress and increase wellness. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and balanced. If there is no peace within, can we truly sustain global peace? Humanity has come to realize the importance of self-development and balance especially amongst youth and those in the forefront of science, politics education and arts. As a UNESCO Center for peace partner, Sahaja Meditation is built to develop, strengthen, and integrate, the human potential, in all aspect. We truly become instruments for peace in our individual countries and around the world. With Sahaja, one can easily tap into one’s inner-present in each of us-and harness its power to bring holistic balance as well as a true state of peace and mental silence. The experience of silence is tangible and groundbreaking in that it can be achieved over the course of an afternoon! With regular practice, health problems may be eliminated and complete harmony of self with one’s surroundings is possible. It is an indispensible investment in facilitating perfection at almost every level. All classes and workshops are offered free of charge, and anyone can do it.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST)is a cooperative program of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to operate a space-based observatory for the benefit of the international astronomical community. HST is an observatory first envisioned in the 1940s, designed and built in the 1970s and 80s, and operational since the 1990. Since its preliminary inception, HST was designed to be a different type of mission for NASA — a long-term, space-based observatory. To accomplish this goal and protect the spacecraft against instrument and equipment failures, NASA planned on regular servicing missions. Hubble has special grapple fixtures, 76 handholds, and is stabilized in all three axes. HST is a 2.4-meter reflecting telescope, which was deployed in low-Earth orbit (600 kilometers) by the crew of the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 25 April 1990.
