Meditation
"Meditation means you feel you have no mind. Many people are busy with the mind. This is not meditation. You must be free from your mind, thoughts, bodily sense, and worldly sense."
(Swami Hariharananda - Drops of Nectar)
Every major religion of the world has both an outer and an inner aspect. The outward aspect concerns ritual worship, doctrine, tradition and social behaviour. The inner aspect is essential in both senses of the word: It contains the essence of the religion.
All religions therefore have a tradition of meditation, of silent contemplation, of going inward to know the Self and to know God; the ultimate Truth or Reality that exists beyond all that can be cognized by the five senses.
Meditation is generally understood to be deep concentration on any subject. Yet meditation is much more than concentration.
In yoga, meditation is a scientific process by which the meditator and the object of meditation become one. Paramahansa Yogananda states that meditation is that specific form of concentration used to know God.
There are many, many methods and techniques of meditation. However, it is the meditation techniques of yoga that are considered to be the most scientific, in particular those of Raja Yoga.
Anadi Anant offers three meditation courses based on Raja Yoga and the teachings of Patanjali. They give a step by step, scientific approach to meditation from an absolute beginner level to more advanced forms of meditation.
