How can we help you today?

All weekly Sahaja Yoga meditation centers are free to attend. You can find one in three ways — use whichever is quickest for you:

1. 1 Quick search: type a city, area, district or center name in the Search Centers… box at the top of any page. Matching places (country / state / district) and centers appear as you type — click one to open it.
2. 2 Browse by place: open Centers, choose a country, then a state and a district. Each page lists every center with its weekly day and time, and shows them on a map.
3. 3 Use the map: on any centers page, press Locate Me to centre the map on where you are, then click a marker to see that center.

Open a center to see its timing, full address, approximate attendance, coordinator phone numbers and a map with Get Directions. Use Share to send the details on WhatsApp or copy them.

There are two ways to use SYCenters in a browser. Both work on any phone, tablet or computer, and need no login to find centers.

• This website — sycenters.org is fully mobile-friendly. On a phone, tap to search or for the menu (Centers, Programs, language and Login).
• The Web App — app.sycenters.org is a lightweight, app-like center finder: a searchable list of countries → states → districts → centers with a live map underneath.

Using the Web App:

1. 1 Open app.sycenters.org.
2. 2 Type in Search Meditation Centers, or tap a country, then a state and a district to drill down. The map follows your choice.
3. 3 Tap a center to see its address, weekly timing, coordinators (tap to call) and directions.
4. 4 Use the button to change the language, and the + button to suggest a missing center.

Install it like an app — it gets its own icon and opens full screen:

• Android (Chrome): tap the install button at the top of the Web App, or Chrome menu ⋮ → Add to Home screen / Install app.
• iPhone / iPad (Safari): tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Desktop (Chrome / Edge): click the install icon at the right end of the address bar.

The Sahaja Yoga Centers Android app keeps the whole directory on your phone, so you can find centers even with a weak connection while travelling.

1. 1 Install it from Google Play (search “Sahaja Yoga Centers”).
2. 2 On first launch, the app downloads all centers for offline use — this takes about a minute. Later updates happen automatically.
3. 3 Tap Search Centers, type a keyword or filter by Country → State → District.
4. 4 Tap the map icon to see centers around you on Locate Centers.
5. 5 Open a center to call a coordinator, get directions, or Share the details on WhatsApp. The and buttons let you suggest an update or report a closed center.

Public programs are larger events — Self-Realization programs, music programs, seminars and tours — that are open to everyone.

1. 1 Click Programs in the top menu (or Public Programs on the home page).
2. 2 Browse upcoming and past programs. Each card shows the dates and place.
3. 3 Open a program for its full schedule, venue and map, travel information, contacts, photo gallery and the program poster or PDF.
4. 4 Use Share on the program page to invite friends and family.

Every change you suggest — a new center, an update, or a closed center — becomes a request. To keep the directory trustworthy, each request is checked by people who know the local collective before it goes live:

You can follow every request on My Centers — see “How do I track the center requests I have submitted?” below.

Anyone can browse centers without an account. You only need to log in to add, update or report a center. There is no separate registration — your Google account is your SYCenters account.

1. 1 Click Login at the top right (on a phone, open the menu first) or go to the login page.
2. 2 Click Sign in with Google and choose your Google account. The first time, your SYCenters account is created automatically.
3. 3 On your first login you will see Complete Profile. Enter your phone number, country, state, district and city, then Save & Continue.
4. 4 You are now logged in. Your Account page shows your profile and contributions.

Accounts created on the old website with an email and password can still use the Or sign in with email form on the same page.

1. 1 Log in, then choose Centers → Add Center in the top menu, or click Add Center on any district page (the country, state and district are then pre-filled).
2. 2 Enter the City / Village and a short Center Name — usually the area or hall, e.g. “Kothrud” or “Main Center”. The center will be listed as City:Name.
3. 3 Choose the Region: country, state and district. If the district is not in the list, choose Other and type it — please check the spelling.
4. 4 Write the full Address with building, landmark and PIN code (at least 20 characters).
5. 5 Tick Do you know exact location on Google Map? and search for the place, then drag the red marker exactly onto the hall.
6. 6 Set the weekly Time: day, hour, minutes and AM/PM.
7. 7 Add Center Co-ordinator 1 (name and phone — required for India) and optionally a second and a zonal coordinator.
8. 8 Optionally add a description, website, the usual number of attendees (Center Strength) and the details in a regional language.
9. 9 Click Submit. Your request goes to the moderation queue and appears in My Centers.

1. 1 Find the center and open its page.
2. 2 Click Update (top right) or Update Info under Center Actions. If you are not logged in, you will be asked to log in first and then brought back.
3. 3 Correct only what has changed — timing, address, map location, coordinators, etc.
4. 4 Click Submit. A moderator and an admin will review your change before it appears on the site.

1. 1 Open the center's page and click Report (or Report Center).
2. 2 Choose the Reason of Deletion — e.g. Center Closed or Center moved / shifted.
3. 3 If the collective now meets at another center, choose it under Redirect to center. Visitors of the old page will be sent there.
4. 4 Add a short Remark (e.g. “Closed since March, hall unavailable”) and click Delete.

Open Centers → My Centers in the top menu (or click here). Your Account page also shows your recent contributions and how many centers you have added, updated and reported.

While a request is still pending you can correct it with the edit button. Click a request's name to see exactly what you asked to change and its full history.

Moderators are trusted yogis — usually district or city coordinators — who know the centers of their area. They are the first check on every request.

• Review the pending requests in Centers → Authentication.
• Confirm the details with the local center coordinators (call them if needed).
• Mark each request Verified or Rejected , with a short remark that helps the admin decide.
• Download their district's centers sheet from Bulk Upload, get it updated by local coordinators and send it to an admin.
• Like every yogi, add and update centers themselves — their requests also go through the queue.

1. 1 Log in and open Centers → Authentication (direct link).
2. 2 Use Filter Requests to choose a requesting user and/or your district. The header shows totals: pending, verified, accepted, rejected and the number of add / edit / delete requests.
3. 3 Click a center's name to open the request: you see a Current → Requested comparison, the requested map location and the request's history.
4. 4 Check the details with the local coordinator.
5. 5 Back in the list, click Verify or Reject, write a remark (5–50 characters, e.g. “Confirmed with coordinator on phone”) and confirm.

1. 1 Log in to SYCenters at least once with Google and complete your profile, so your account exists.
2. 2 Write to info@sycenters.org with the subject “Moderator access request”.
3. 3 Include the details below. Access is given by the SYCenters team after confirming with your state or national coordinator.

Admins — usually state or national coordinators — give the final decision on requests and keep larger regions up to date. By default an admin can:

• Do everything a moderator can (verify / reject with remarks).
• Approve requests, which publishes the change, or deny them.
• Edit a pending request to correct small mistakes before approving it.
• Delete invalid, duplicate or test requests.
• Bulk upload a whole district from an Excel sheet and view a center's change history.

Edit a request when it is almost right — a spelling mistake, missing PIN code, wrong AM/PM or a misplaced map marker — so you don't have to reject a genuine contribution.

1. 1 In Centers → Authentication, click the orange Edit button on the request — or click Update Request in the review window.
2. 2 The request opens in the same form used to add a center. Correct the fields.
3. 3 Click Submit. The request is updated (and logged as “Center request edited”); it stays pending until you approve it.

1. 1 Open Centers → Authentication and filter by your district if you like. Prefer requests already marked verified by a moderator — hover the icon to read the remark.
2. 2 Click the green Approve button. The review window shows every field as Current vs. Requested; changed values are highlighted.
3. 3 Go through the checklist below.
4. 4 Click Accept to publish, Update Request to correct it first, or Deny to close it without changes.

For delete requests the review window shows the center's current details, the reason, the requester's remarks and the optional redirect center:

Admin access is given to coordinators responsible for a state or country, usually after they have served as moderators. To request it:

1. 1 Make sure you have logged in once and completed your profile.
2. 2 Email info@sycenters.org with the subject “Admin access request”.
3. 3 Mention your name, login email, phone, the state(s) or country you are responsible for, and a reference from your national coordinator.

Once or twice a year, district coordinators can review all their centers together instead of one by one:

• Updates and new centers from the sheet are published as soon as the admin confirms.
• Rows marked “to be deleted” are not removed directly — they become delete requests in the Authentication queue for a final check.

1. 1 Open Centers → Bulk Upload (direct link).
2. 2 Select District: choose country, state and district.
3. 3 Download district file: choose Excel or CSV and click . Each row is one active center, with its ID in the first column.
4. 4 Update the sheet following the rules below, and save it.
5. 5 Upload the completed file (with the same district still selected).
6. 6 On Validate Centers, check every row: changed values show the old value struck through above the new one. Untick Confirm delete for any row you don't want to remove.
7. 7 Click Confirm. If any row has an error, nothing is saved — fix the sheet and upload again.

The SYCenters Widget adds a complete center finder — search, country/state/district browsing and a map — to any Sahaja Yoga website with a few lines of HTML. It always shows the latest data, so you never have to maintain center lists yourself.

1. 1 Whitelist your domain: email info@sycenters.org with your website name, domain (e.g. sahajayoga.org), and a contact person's email and phone. The widget only works on approved domains.
2. 2 Create a Google Maps API key in Google Cloud Console: enable the Maps JavaScript API, then restrict the key to your website (HTTP referrers) and to that API.
3. 3 Add the stylesheet at the end of your page's <head>.
4. 4 Place the widget tag where the finder should appear.
5. 5 Add the scripts at the end of <body>.

<!-- 3. In <head> -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://widget.sycenters.org/styles.css">

<!-- 4. Where the widget should appear -->
<syc-widget color="#FEC500" scope="" gmapsApiKey="YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY" defaultLanguage="en"></syc-widget>

<!-- 5. At the end of <body> -->
<script src="https://widget.sycenters.org/runtime.js" type="module"></script>
<script src="https://widget.sycenters.org/polyfills.js" type="module"></script>
<script src="https://widget.sycenters.org/main.js" type="module"></script>

The SYCenters APIs give Sahaja Yoga organisations read access to the global center directory as JSON — the same data used by the SYCenters web app, Android app and widget. Access is free for all Sahaja Yoga organisations.

1. 1 Request credentials: email info@sycenters.org with your application / website name and URL, and a contact person's email and phone. You will receive an app ID and an access token.
2. 2 Keep the token secret. It is shown only once; if it is lost or leaked, ask us to reset it.
3. 3 Send both with every request as the HTTP headers app and accessToken. Base URL: https://sycenters.org/api.
4. 4 Explore the endpoints and try them live in the API reference.

curl https://sycenters.org/api/centers/344 \
  -H "app: YOUR_APP_ID" \
  -H "accessToken: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
