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

Abstract This study investigates the influence of Brahma Kumaris Rajayoga meditation on the learning abilities of high school students, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and academic dimensions. Grounded in Vedic philosophy, particularly the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, and integrated with contemporary cognitive science, the research explores how meditation enhances attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and processing speed. A mixed-methods quasi-experimental design was employed, involving a 12-week meditation intervention with matched control groups. Standardized cognitive tests, academic performance records, and psychological scales were administered alongside qualitative interviews and reflective journals. Findings are expected to demonstrate significant improvements in sustained attention, memory, academic achievement, and emotional regulation among meditation practitioners. The study highlights Rajayoga meditation as a culturally rooted, evidence-based practice that aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 and WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy, offering an innovative approach to holistic education, mental well-being, and character development in adolescence.
