Yoga Helps Meditation

Yoga and Meditation

From the point of view of meditation, Hatha Yoga or any other physical yoga practice, is a supplemental science that facilitates the practice of meditation and moves you further along the road to Self Realization.  In fact, one of the primary reasons I took up yoga initially was to enhance my sitting during meditation and I am glad I did.  Yoga has helped me a great deal in sitting for long periods of time and in deepening my meditation practice.

True Meaning of Diwali

What Dewali Is

Today is Diwali and along with wishing each and every one of you a very Happy and Healthy Diwali, I also want to share some of my thoughts on what is the esoteric meaning behind this glorious occasion.

For those who don’t know what Diwali is, it is the day when Lord Rama returned to his kingdom Ayodhya after 14 in exile and after defeating the demon king Ravana.  It is celebrated with a great deal of enthusiasm in India and the reason it’s also called the Festival of Lights, is that on this day diyas (small clay lamps) are lit in abundance to greet the return of Rama.

Benefits of Meditation

You were born to meditate.  I cannot impress enough upon you how important meditation is, if you wish to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.  By meditation here I don’t mean just the formal time you spend devoted to this practice, but I mean the constant vigilance and witnessing of the mind and emotions, that a true meditation practice demands. 

This dedication to a meditative life will bring you riches far beyond any that the material world can offer.  This treasure is available to you, if you are willing to embrace a life long meditation practice.  But along with such unworldly blessings, there are also many tangible benefits of meditation.  These benefits include health and other everyday benefits, and are being constantly validated by scientists in the field today.
