Dear Chris and ALL (but really a Question for Swamiji),

 

How does Swami recommend to meditate? I have heard about the pujas and

witnessed them. I have heard about the japa and done it. I have heard

about the chanting and participated in that. But how does Swami

recommend to meditate? Is there a particular technique, such as using

a mantra? Or just going into the Silence? I would really like to know

this, since there are many ways to meditate. Jai Swami ~ Linda

Linda,

 

I'm sure Swamiji will get back to you on this, but in the meantime,

Shree Maa wrote in one of her books that it is good to meditate in

silence immediately following chanting of mantras. Allow the bhaava

and shakti to carry you deeper.
