Self-awareness enables individuals to recognise and regulate their thoughts and emotions in harmony with inner values. Meditation is widely studied as a path toward such awareness, yet most empirical attention has centred on secular mindfulness rather than India’s indigenous spiritual systems. This review integrates psychological, educational, and Yogic-science perspectives on Brahma Kumaris Rajayoga Meditation (BKRM) and its role in cultivating self-awareness. Western theories of self-regulation and metacognition are compared with Indian notions of Atma Jnana (knowledge of the self). Quantitative and qualitative studies consistently show that Rajayoga practice enhances emotional balance, reflection, mindfulness, and interpersonal sensitivity. However, large-sample and youth-focused investigations using validated Indian measures such as the Self-Awareness Scale (2024)[19] remain scarce. Integrating spiritual meditation within educational and counselling contexts can promote value-based learning and emotional literacy among youth. Rajayoga therefore represents a culturally grounded framework linking ancient Yogic wisdom with contemporary psychology.
