The BKWSU’s main activity is teaching Raja Yoga, a form of meditation that aims to rediscover oneself as a spiritual being distinct from the physical body and to develop peace, love and mutual understanding. The organisation offers free meditation classes open to all. It is also involved in humanitarian and social initiatives across Europe, particularly in the areas of spiritual education, personal development, and respect for oneself and others. It is one of the few spiritual groups to promote female leadership, with the majority of meditation centres run by women.
