MEDITATION

[Guest guest]

Keep Closer to Divine!

 

Each form of Yoga has its own characteristic philosophy.

Bhaktiyoga is based on devotion, karmyoga on work,

gyanyoga on knowledge and hathyoga on physical exercise.

While the techniques adopted may be different, every form of yoga

has the same goal: To get closer to the Divine.

 

In Tantra & Yoga, Kundalini, which is the divine energy present in every

living form, is awakened and connection is established with the

divine power, the Param Chaitanya. As you get connected, energy

starts flowing within your body, cleansing the system. It is

recommended that you meditate even for 12 to 24 minutes, morning and

evening. Once a week, practise collective meditation with other

yogis and tantricas to experience the real benefits of Dhyana.

 

For those who undertake meditation, life changes completely in the

physical, mental, emotional and spiritual spheres. Physically, you

become a healthier person. Your face starts glowing and your skin

becomes softer. As you start looking younger and feel more

energetic, you come to rely less on artificial aids to wellness.

Emotionally, you become stronger, fearless and confident. Your

conduct improves and your attention shifts from narrow issues to

larger ones. The inherent negativities of hatred, greed and jealousy

get reduced to a large extent.

 

With regular practice of yoga medutations your extra-sensitive perception

increases and often you can experience divine guidance and

protection in times of crisis. You begin to experience a positive

transformation.

 

Before embarking on the Spiritual Path, it is necessary to

understand the many myths and misconceptions:

 

Myth 1: You renounce the world leaving worldly responsibilities

unfulfilled.

Fact: You live in the same world, but learn to handle your

responsibilities in a more effective manner.

 

Myth 2: Your married life is over.

Fact: You lead a perfectly normal married life. This is symbolised

in Hindu gods leading normal married lives.

 

Myth 3: You must give up all worldly pleasures and lead a simple

life.

Fact: Simplicity comes from within and is not to be broadcast. You

are free to enjoy all pleasures of life earned through fair means.

 

Myth 4: You must be a serious person.

Fact: Happiness is the key to life and laughter is its _expression.

One need not change the basic nature or feel apologetic about it.

 

Myth 5: You can be successful only if you have the zeal to fight.

Fact: Research shows that a person's potential is best realised when

his intelligence, emotional and spiritual quotients are fully

developed. Best managerial practices are based upon trust and

altruism rather than on unethical practices.

 

Myth 6: Spirituality is not for me.

Fact: Everyone is part of the universe. Don't separate yourself from

nature. Taking help from cosmic energy is as natural as breathing.

 

Myth 7: I do not have the time.

Fact: Laya Yoga requires only 24-48 minutes of your time everyday. With

meditation you become extremely energetic and can do with one or two

hours less sleep. Ultimately you are a gainer.

 

Myth 8: It is unfashionable.

Fact: If Richard Gere, Lara Bush, Matthew Malley and Madonna and many others

meditate regularly, it can't be all that unfashionable.
