SRCM was registered in India in the year 1945. The Mission is a non-profit spiritual organization in India, and in all the countries where it is registered.

Over the years, the Mission has grown enormously, and now has more than 1000 centres in India, and is present in 90 countries spread over all the continents. The Mission now has more than 200,000 abhyasis worldwide practising the Sahaj Marg system of meditation.

The Mission does not charge any fees of any kind for this spiritual training.

The Mission is the skeleton around which the spiritual edifice of the Mission is built. As such, it is meant to be virtually invisible, but must nevertheless support the spiritual work of the Master, and provide the services that are required by the abhyasis.

The current president of the Mission is Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, affectionately known as Chariji.
