Report from RfP Bangladesh – Religions for Peace Asia

Religions for Peace (RfP) Bangladesh Chapter organised a special Meditation Programme for its members on Friday, 28 November 2025, at the Chattogram Elite Club. The session was led by Ms. Shantisree McGrath, Director of the Sri Chinmoy Centre, Chittagong.

The programme began with a tribute to the late Reverend Dr. Nobuhiro Nemoto, former Secretary General of RfP Asia (ACRP). His contribution and service to the interfaith community were respectfully remembered.

During her talk, Ms. McGrath explained the importance of meditation in daily life. She said that meditation helps us achieve two important things:

Self-control
Self-transformation

She explained that when a person meditates, the mind becomes calm, still, and peaceful. This calmness allows positive change to take place within. She also mentioned that the best time to meditate is early in the morning, around 6 AM, and beginners can start with just five minutes a day.

The event was well-received by all participants. It created a peaceful environment and encouraged members to practice meditation regularly for mental well-being, inner harmony, and spiritual growth.
