Meditate to lead a Life of Abundance, Fulfillment and Happiness.

Meditate to lead a Life of Abundance, Fulfillment and Happiness.



The Power of Meditation

People are endowed with unlimited powers. Not a single person is without them! But the road is missed  when one is unaware of this truth. To gain awareness of this power, one must practice meditation. The mind flies at a tangent all the time. Meditation (dhyana) is the process by which it is trained to acquire concentration.
To lead a happy and abundant life, man needs peace of mind. The mind is like the turbulent river. It has to be restrained by the use of brakes, as in a fast-moving vehicle. Meditation is the brake devised for the control of the mind. Meditation means one-pointed concentration. All the diseases, which afflict man, are the result of agitations in the mind. The enormous growth of disease in the world, today, is due to the loss of peace of mind. To get rid of illness and to lead a calm, healthy life, man has to cultivate mental peace.

What is Meditation

The process of merging the mind in Divinity (all Power), oblivious of the world, is described as ‘Dhyana or Meditation’.

Most effective method of meditation. 


Meditation on the light ( Jyoti Meditation) is the most effective technique of the various techniques in meditation.



Jyoti Meditation Have a lamp or a candle with an open flame, steady and straight, before you. Sit in the padmasana (lotus posture) or any other comfortable posture in front of the candle. Look at the flame steadily for sometime and, closing your eyes, try to feel the flame inside you, between your eyebrows. Let it slide down into the lotus of your heart, illumining the path. When it enters the heart, imagine that the petals of the lotus open up one by one, bathing every thought, feeling, and emotion in the light and so, removing darkness from them. There is no space for darkness to hide. The light of the flame.becomes wider and brighter. Let it pervade your limbs. Now, those limbs can never more deal in dark, suspicious, and wicked activities; they have become instruments of light and love. As the light reaches up to the tongue, falsehood vanishes from it. Let it rise up to the eyes and the ears and destroy all the dark desires that infest them, leading you to view perverse sights and engage in puerile conversation.
Let your head be surcharged with light and let all wicked thoughts flee therefrom. Imagine that the light is present in you more and more intensely. Let it shine all around you and let it spread from you, in ever widening circles, taking in your loved ones, your kith and kin, your friends and companions, your enemies and rivals, strangers, all living beings, and the entire world. Since the light illumines all the senses everyday, so deeply and so systematically, a time will soon come, when you can no more relish dark and evil sights. You will not yearn for dark and sinister tales, crave for base, harmful, deadening toxic food and drink, handle dirty demeaning things, approach places of ill-fame and injury, or frame evil designs against anyone at any time. Stay on in that thrill of witnessing the light everywhere. When you adore God in any form, try to visualise that form in the all-pervasive light. For, Light is God. God is Light.

Fruits of Meditation

Once you meditate regularly, you realize that you are the reservoir of all power.  Your consciousness will change. All abundance is yours. You will experience great bliss.
