Meditation of India

OM

         Over thousands of years, meditation evolved into a structured practice. Indian scriptures called “tantras” mentioned meditation techniques 5000 years ago.
             Buddha, “one of history’s major proponents of meditation,” and a major meditation icon, first made his mark around 500 B.C.Hindu-based Easter-style meditation practices are still the most popular today. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, outlining the eight limbs of yoga, was compiled between 400-100 BCE. In the same period, the Bhagavad Gita was written, which discusses the philosophy of yoga, meditation and the practice of living a spiritual life.
               Meditation was first mentioned in Hindu Veda of India.It gives you deep rest,calm mind,inner strength,relaxation and satisfaction.There are many types of meditation methods are:
1.Mantra Meditation
2.Transcendental Meditation
3.Yoga Meditation
4.Vipassana Meditation
5.Zen Meditation
        Meditation is known for its emotional benefits - of these, the key one is teaching a person how to understand their own mind. This allows one to transform their mental state at will from disturbed or negative to peaceful, positive and constructive.

Chakra Meditation For Deep Healing And Balancing

In order to appreciate the benefits of chakra meditation, we first need to look at the significance of the chakra centers themselves.

What Are Chakras?

The entirety of the body is a perfect reflection of our beliefs, thoughts and emotions. It is the physical manifestation of our inner beliefs about who we are.
     The body and everything we experience here is a pictorial representation of what we believe to be true about ourselves, although generally, most of these beliefs are in the unconscious mind.The chakra centers are like energetic motors within the mental / emotional / physical energy field we usually identify as "me." For instance, the root chakra relates to our sense of connection with our fellow human beings, as well as survival issues. If a person believes they are unsafe and trust is difficult, this chakra will tend to be pulled in and not joined in harmony with the other chakras.

How The Chakras Relate To Our Lives

    We are conditioned to believe that when we are upset it is because something happened to us that caused the upset. However, this is exactly backwards. When an upsetting event occurs, such as pain, disease or discomfort in the body, or an "outer" circumstance such as losing a job or a relationship, that occurrence is a reflection of an "upset" that was already within us, usually below our conscious awareness.
  For example, let's say your husband or wife wants a divorce and you feel upset. The event of your partner wanting a divorce is a manifestation of a part of you that is "divorced" from another part of you – a place where you have pulled away from yourself. However we experience being treated by someone else is a reflection of how we treat ourselves, which is how we believe (usually unconsciously) we SHOULD be treated.
The chakras would reflect the beliefs as well, most likely in the solar plexus and heart in this example, as well as the throat and the first two chakras, to varying degrees. All the organs and cells in the areas of the body related to the chakras would also be affected.

Meditation Postures

Lotus

                  The lotus position of meditation, sitting cross-legged with the feet on the opposing thighs, originates from ancient meditative practices in India. It is commonly used in many religious practices of meditation, including Buddhist, Hindu and Jain meditation.
                    The position can be practiced by sitting down on the floor, placing one foot with the sole facing up on the opposite thigh, and placing the other foot on the other thigh in the same manner. When performed correctly, the heels should be close to the abdomen and the knees in contact with the ground. The spine should be straight and centered about the hips and the head and neck muscles relaxed.

Sukhasana

                  Also known as the easy pose or Burmese pose, the Sukhasan is similar to the traditional Lotus position with crossed legs to open the hips and lengthen the spine. However, this pose places less stress on the knees, which makes it easier for many individuals with physical limitations to practice.

Kneeling

            Kneeling is a position commonly associated with submission in obedience in society. It is in part for this reason, that kneeling is a preferred position for prayerful meditation in religions such as Christianity and Islam. It is also practiced as a position for meditation for other purposes and in secular practice, however.

Standing

                  Meditation can also be practiced in the standing position, although this is associated with greater issues of stability, which can disrupt the vacancy of the mind during meditation. Nonetheless, the benefits of standing meditation are evident for those that wish to practice in the position.

Lying (Supine)

                Lying face up in a comfortable position can also be used as a posture for meditation, known as supine position. This has high degree of stability and allows the body of the individual to relax and focus on the mind.

MEDITATION IS AN HEAVEN

 

 

Failure is important

         Failure is a first step towards success.This is very important to face failure for everyone,it teaches meaning of success and for getting that success what step you have to take,so in simple words you can say it as a "Mother of Success". From failure we understand the importance of success,if a person getting failure back to back then now the time comes for success.Failure itself a confident builder not looser,from failure you get the way for success.

                In the society failure always rejected,but truth is that all have to study the failure,cause of failure and by analysis failure you will definitely got success.

       Many people having different meaning of failure ,some things its end and some things ts a new way of success.Failure is nothing but a state when the people doesn't meet their desirable goals then they give it a term "Failure".

  "When we give ourselves permission to fail,we at the same time , give ourselves permission to excel."

                                                                               
                                                              By Eloise Ristad

     "No human ever became interesting by not failing.The more you fail and recover and improve,the better you are as a person.Ever meet someone who's 

always had everything work out for them with zero stuggle ? They usually have the depth of a puddle .Or they don't exist."

Being an unwanted child, she was referred to as Chindhi her father was keen on educating Sindhutai, much against the wishes of her mother.Abject poverty, family responsibilities and an early marriage forced her to quit formal education after she successfully passed the 4th standard.

She put up a successful agitation against a local strongman who was fleecing the villagers on collection of dried cow dung used as fuel in India and selling it in collusion with forest department, without paying anything to the villagers..Her agitation brought the district collector to her village and on realising she was right, he passed an order which the strongman did not like.She gave birth to a baby girl on 14 October 1973 in a cow shelter outside their house that night, all by herself and walked several kilometres away to her mother's place. Her mother refused to shelter her. She had to set aside the thought of suicide and started begging on railway platforms for food. In the process, she realised that there were so many children abandoned by their parents and she adopted them as her own and started begging even more vigorously to feed them. She decided to become a mother to anyone and everyone who came across to her as an orphan. She later donated her biological child to the trust Shrimant Dagdu Sheth Halwai, Pune, only to eliminate the feeling of partiality between her daughter and the adopted ones.

                 She has devoted her entire life to orphans. As a result, she is fondly called 'Mai'(mother). She has nurtured over 1,050 orphaned children. As of today, she has a grand family of 207 sons-in-law, thirty-six daughters-in-law, and over a thousand grandchildren.At the age of 80, her husband came back to her apologetically. She accepted him as her child stating she is only a mother now! If you visit her ashram, she proudly and very affectionately introduces him as her oldest child! In person, she comes across as an unlimited source of energy and very powerful inspiration, with absolutely no negative emotions or blaming anybody.
