Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Namaste, Try “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna”, meditation is described endlessly in the scriptures but nowhere better than here in my opinion. Love, Bob Rose -----Original Message----- Raj Miniyar, MD [bhaktifoundation] Sunday, October 31, 2004 8:28 AM Ramakrishna [sri Ramakrishna] Ancient Scriptur Is there any discription about method of meditation[ exact steps, method] in any ancient scripture other than patanjali yog sutra.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Om Namah Sivaya There is a scripture called Tirumantiram composed by Rishi Tirumular about 3000 years ago.He dedicated a large number of verses to meditation in great details. He originally composed it in Tamil. You can find the English translation in the webpage below: ASHTANGA YOGAM (Eight Limbs of Yoga) http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/books/tirumantiram/TantraThree.html However you will find that the method of meditation is very similar to Patanjali Maharishi, since they both had the same spiritual Guru, Lord Siva. Rishi Tirumular was one of eight great Rishis who obtained direct teachings from Lord Siva in Mount Kailash. They were Sanatkumara, Sanakar, Sanadanar, Sananthanar, Sivayogamuni, Patanjali, Vyagrapada and Tirumular.

There is a book of " 112 meditations " . Lord Shiva instructs Devi on the various meditation techniques. What those 112 techniques are described in the book " Zen flesh, Zen bones " by Paul Reps (and that much also is thrilling to read and visualize), but I am sure there is a more detailed text on them all in the annals of Kashmir Shaivism. You did not ask this, but I thought it is better to say this also... please take up meditation under the supervision of the Guru. The Guru's Grace will make the meditation a success. For information purposes only, it's ok to read up on meditation. Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
