(Minghui.org) Invited by members of the Inner Wheel, Falun Gong practitioners gave a presentation titled “Introduction to the Meditation and Spiritual Practice of Falun Gong” held at the hotel President, Mumbai, India, on May 6, 2025.

Inner Wheel is one of the largest women’s voluntary service organizations in the world, boasting over 120,000 members in over 100 countries. Affiliated with the Rotary Club, the Inner Wheel promotes friendship and international understanding while serving their local communities.

Over 350 Inner Wheel members from over 80 clubs in Mumbai attended the Falun Dafa presentation as part of the organization’s annual officers’ training program. Many were interested in learning the exercises after seeing them demonstrated on stage.

After showing a short video about Falun Dafa, practitioners gave a brief explanation about the practice and demonstrated the first and fifth exercises on stage. Intrigued by the gentle, slow movements and the calming music, they showed keen interest in giving it a try.

People Keen to Learn Falun Gong

Club members approached practitioners after the demonstration to find out more about Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). They agreed with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and wanted to know where they could learn all the exercises. They were pleased to learn they could sign up for free classes online held in different languages.

Mrs. Laxmi Singh, Chair of the Inner Wheel club at the district level, said after learning the fifth exercise, a sitting meditation, “I felt so calm that I did not feel like talking afterward.”

A club member who is a long-time qigong enthusiast said, “My goodness, I could feel very powerful energy rotating after just a few minutes of doing the exercise.”

Others said the exercise music made them feel full of energy. Many people also said their hands became warm as they did the exercises.

A practitioner who took part in the presentation that day was pregnant. A club member said, “If that pregnant lady can do these exercises, then we all should definitely try Falun Dafa, too!” She thought the exercises were very beneficial and wants to introduce Falun Gong to other club members.
