Meditation - 2 :

-




To,


All Members,



Meditation gives relaxation and rejuvenation to your mind and body.

First imagine the form of the Lord from top to bottom. Slowly focus your mind on the form of the Lord. Then find out your self “Who gives existence to the mind?”

There you have to understand and experience divinity.

(Such a person can accept every thing and negate whatever negative experience influences him. He can turn adversities into advantages).
Steps for Meditation:

    Ensure physical cleanliness.
    Choose a clean place; ideally have a permanent room for doing Sadhana.
    Sit on a “natural fibre” mat. Do not use a plastic material.
    Light up a lamp.
    Sit in a comfortable posture.
    Keeping your hands in “CHIN MUDRA” (thumb touching the tip of forefinger), sit in an erected posture without bending.
    Do Pranayam keeping your mind and body alert.
    Visualize the form of the Lord.
    Recite Japam; after each Japam, mentally offer flowers at HIS feet (for at least 20 minutes).
    After surrendering there, every thing should disappear – body, mind or even the feet of the Lord. Feel absolute Presence and awareness.
    Again take deep breaths and while getting up, accept yourself as the DASA of the Lord.

Take a vow that whatever activity you are supposed to do is the opportunity given by the Lord and whatever experience you get as HIS Prasad. Express joy and happiness in and around you.

Swami Udit Chaithanya

The Call of Sri Krishna: The Gospel of Super Excellence - 6 : Swami Krishnananda

26/11/2018 The Call of Sri Krishna: The Gospel of Super Excellence - 6. : Swami Krishnananda (Talk given on Janmashtami, Sri Krishna's birthday.) A powerful interest that dominates a man's life polarises his mind, which then acts like a magnet and continually draws out from his stored-up experiences and also from new experiences whatever is relevant and useful to the end in view. Deep interest invigorates the mind, awakens its dormant powers and is the key to super excellence, invention and discovery. Hard work is another condition of superiority. The aspirant must master the knowledge and technique pertaining to his particular job; in fact, he must be a keen and lifelong learner, ready to pick up new ideas and new ways wherever he can find them. He must cultivate the habits of thoroughness, accuracy and reliability; he must take pains to check, revise and polish his work until it acquires as perfect a finish as possible within the limits of time available.

The Aim of Human Existence – Post - 9 : Swami Krishnananda.

================================================================ Wednesday, 24 Jan 2024.  05:30. Article: Philosophy: The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 (Spoken at a Conference in Delhi on Sept. 21, 1980) Post-9. ================================================================ The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 -1 No success in any field of life can be achieved without tapas. Tapas is the guarantee for success in any walk of life, in any direction of any activity. We have been told that creation originated with the tapas of the Creator. The Nasadiya Sukta of the Veda tells us that the Supreme Creator performed tapas when He willed this vast creation, and the whole of His creation is vibrant with various degrees and manifestations of this supreme tapas. In this sense, we may say that the whole creation is only tapas, and the activities of nature in its generality and of people in its particularity are all engendered by a force which can be best described as tapas. I for one ca...

Transitioning Consciousness from the Animal Through the Human Stage to the Divine Consummation :

-

We generally characterize the major difference in psychology between animals and human beings as the result of the ability of the human being to utilize the Reason, a higher form of intelligence than the basic sense apparatus and physical mind that clearly is predominant in the animal consciousness. At the same time, we can see elements of the power of Reason in the animal kingdom, and cannot deny that most human beings utilize the sense and physical mind capacities as their primary tool for navigating their way through their lives. Sri Aurobindo points out that “…reason is only a particular and limited utilitarian and instrumental activity that proceeds from something much greater than itself, from a power that dwells in an ether more luminous, wider, illimitable.” There appears to be actually a ladder of consciousness which does not provide clearly defined separate steps between the animal and man, and which has not finished its ascent with the appearance of the reasoning f...
