Editing Sahaja Yoga (section)

=== Family ===
Human rights lawyer Sylvie Langlaude has described the configuration of families within Sahaja Yoga as having "a distinctive image and model of childhood", noting that from birth children become familiarised with the movement's beliefs and Nirmala Srivastava's status by being closely involved in its day-to-day rituals including meditation, foot-soaking, and devotional singing. This is in line with the other religions Langlaude examined, who concluded that "almost all traditions include informal nurturing within the family and slightly more formal nurturing within a religious community", and that children "are also initiated by their parents to a number of initiation rituals and to ceremonies and festivals."<ref name="law">{{cite book |author=Sylvie Langlaude |title=The Right of the Child to Religious Freedom in International Law |publisher=Brill |year=2007 |page=33-4 |chapter=Chapter 1: Religious Children}}</ref>
