Simple Meditation



Time: mornings or evening before food

Seating: Sit with relaxed posture in a chair or cross legged

Posture: Palms facing upwards rested relaxedly on the thighs. If environment is noisy hold chin mudra

Duration: 12 to 15 minutes

Tip: Just look at the time once before closing the eyes and swear for yourself that want to sit for the duration. For some reason it you break it very early, just close eyes and continue

Principle of meditation: I am Nothing, I do Nothing, I want Nothing (Having so many things is the problem lets empty it out !!!)

Once you sit in posture, keep eyes open for a second, take 3 normal but long and deep breaths and slowly close the eyes.

Bring just gentle awareness (basically relax) Right  leg toe, ankles, calf, thighs. Repeat the same with Left side.
Keep continuing awareness of Buttocks, Genitals, Navel, Abdomen, Chest.
Right hand fingers, elbows, arms. Repeat with Left side.
Move up to shoulders, Throat.
Become aware and relax Forehead, Eye brows, Nostrils, Mouth and importantly relax Tongue and Lips

(Spend 2 to 3 mins)

Listen to All sounds in environment and accept them. Swear that it wont disturb you.
Listen to All sounds within body. (Air in nostrils, heart beat and abdomen movement)

(Spend 1 minute))

Then start watching breath for atleast 3 times with every minute gap.
Basically,
Watch breath for few seconds. Let mind wander for a minute. Repeat
Watch breath for few seconds. Let mind wander for a minute. Repeat
Watch breath  for few seconds. Let mind wander for a minute. Done

(Spend 2 minute)

After this let whatever comes to mind let it come.
Important: Dont stop any thought. But NEVER get in to a thought.

If you got an important thought just make a note in mind. But dont get in to details. If your mind gets in to it watch your breath and come out.

You may get in to semi-sleep, body may slouch and shake its OK.

Once you feel that atleast 12 min you stayed you are good to close meditation.

Take 3 deep breath.

Now take one long breath for OM. Again long breath and OM. Again long breath and OM.
(Chant OM 3 times basically. 75% of  'OOO...' and 25% of "MMM..."

Gently rub hands, make a cup and place on eye balls, take hand away and look within palm.

(For some reason if you want to lie down, just lay down in Savasan for a minute and slowly get up)

There is no God. But still I Pray...

1. Who is God? Simple. God is an imaginary and cultural entity! No God in the world sprang up suddenly. There is a real story behind every God. Believe it or not...Gods too evolved and progressed, influenced each other... Story of religions is a simple example. For that I need to elaborate about the Gods of West and later East. The concept of "prophet" and "son of God" is an example. Judaism is one of the oldest of all religions. It is the first to introduce the concept of prophet/son of God. Moses liberated Jewish slaves from the clutches of Egyptian Imperialism. It is believed that he received ten commandments from God and he is a blessed one. And the concept of prophet/son of God starts here. Great culture of Egypt believed in multiple Gods, it is no wonder that their slaves believed in one God and expected a liberator an exact opposite to their master's belief. Now large number of Jews live around the world. Israel is a Jewish nation. Their important book ...

Shame to be a man

I have been always proud of being a man. I used to believe that as a man I am mentally and physically strong. I always had a strong male ego. I used to have the same mentality towards women like everybody used to have from my part of world. As everybody I was brought up in a way that made me believe that as a man I am above women. The flawed society in various forms like mass media "cinema" reinforced the concept again & again. Like most of the men I saw them inferior, sex icons, weak, dependent, less-intelligent...etc., etc ., The moment of realisation... I always proud of being a man till that very moment of realisation struck in my mind. This stuff is personal, but not really a personal one. Here is that very moment... My wife was carrying a baby baby. One night she told that baby is kicking... It is the first time she is feeling it so strong...I laid my hands on her stomach to feel the baby...my baby hit my hands...he was moving & shaking inside...I felt like cry...
