Meditation and its benifits

conscious realm directing them in such a way that you gradually transcend the everyday level of consciousness.

Man today is living a life of utter chaos. After witnessing and encountering achievements of Science as materialistic means to give him utmost satiety as far as sensual pleasure is concerned, he finds himself at crossroads with no relief from dynamics of today giving him stress and strains.

Stress is a menace today killing silently maximum no of persons in society through psychosomatic ailments. Stress is inevitable and each and everyone have to face it in day to day life. Stress free life should never be imagined, as man is born out of stress only. Yogis and Sages of east knew this and they devised spiritual disciplines to modify stress, a physiological phenomenon, constructively, into a source of energy by harnessing dormant storehouse of pranashakti- kundalini (the serpentine fire)

Stress survival is something which eastern mysticism and spirituality mentions in scriptures as a part of day to day living. How negative emotions can be converted into positive ones and how ones’ immunity can be enhanced through meditation giving an eternal fountain of youth, is the lesson we’ve been taught since ages by Rishis of Himalayas in scriptures.

Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta are two such ancient books on yoga which teach one how he/she can stress-proof ones' life style by becoming a Yogi. Meditation is a process which one automatically learns by practicing it. Meditation is a bath to your personality of noble thoughts, which you start calling from super conscious realm directing them in such a way that you gradually transcend the everyday level of consciousness.

Meditation is a practice to bring back the state of equilibrium, which you have disturbed by your present way of living. To streamline the bizarre thinking process leading to lot of distraction and phobias, one needs to meditate every day. Meditation adds to ones creativity, alertness and opens vistas of mind-brain stuff which were lying hidden, unused - unopened till now.

Meditation as a therapy relieving one from destructive stress, making it constructive, is a process which needs constant learning. Once learnt and imbibed in consciousness, it becomes an automatic phenomenon. There are various procedures but each is intended to bring three results bringing complete relaxation of body, slowing down breath and calming the mind.

Meditation or Dhyan is an attempt to bring micro-cosmos closer to macro-cosmos. It can be contemplated by :-

1. Tratak Yoga (Meditating on a symbol as early morning rising Sun or a light object as a lighted lamp). Gradually by closing and opening eyes and concentrating on light object one can practice how to direct wavering thoughts to one particular point.

2. Jap Yoga (recitation of Mantras with meditation).

3. Nad Yoga (listening to various ragas or sound symbols and concentrating on them),

ध्यानी नहीं शिव सारस

!!देव संस्कृति विश्विद्यालय में स्थपित प्रज्ञेश्वर महादेव!! ध्यानी नहीं शिव सारसा, ग्यानी सा गोरख। ररै रमै सूं निसतिरयां, कोड़ अठासी रिख।। साभार : हंसा तो मोती चुगैं पुस्तक से शिव जैसा ध्यानी नहीं है। ध्यानी हो तो शिव जैसा हो। क्या अर्थ है? ध्यान का अर्थ होता हैः न विचार, वासना, न स्मृति, न कल्पना। ध्यान का अर्थ होता हैः भीतर सिर्फ होना मात्र। इसीलिए शिव को मृत्यु का, विध्वंस का, विनाश का देवता कहा है। क्योंकि ध्यान विध्वंस है--विध्वंस है मन का। मन ही संसार है। मन ही सृजन है। मन ही सृष्टि है। मन गया कि प्रलय हो गई। ऐसा मत सोचो कि किसी दिन प्रलय होती है। ऐसा मत सोचो कि एक दिन आएगा जब प्रलय हो जाएगी और सब विध्वंस हो जाएगा। नहीं, जो भी ध्यान में उतरता है, उसकी प्रलय हो जाती है। जो भी ध्यान में उतरता है, उसके भीतर शिव का पदार्पण हो जाता है। ध्यान है मृत्यु--मन की मृत्यु, "मैं" की मृत्यु, विचार का अंत। शुद्ध चैतन्य रह जाए--दर्पण जैसा खाली! कोई प्रतिबिंब न बने। तो एक तो यात्रा है ध्यान की। और फिर ध्यान से ही ज्ञान का जन्म होता है। जो ज्ञान ध्यान के बिना तुम इकट्ठा ...

Eugene Onegin Aur Vodka Onegin: Pushkin Ki Zindagi Ka Ek Mazahiya Jaam Zindagi Ka Nasha Aur Eugene Onegin Ka Afsoos: Socho, tum ek zabardast party mein ho, jahan sabhi log high society ke hain, par tumhare dil mein bas boredom chhaya hua hai. Yeh hai Alexander Pushkin ki 'Eugene Onegin' , jo ek novel in verse hai, romance, tragedy, aur biting satire ka zabardast mix. Humara hero, Eugene Onegin , ek aise top-shelf Vodka ki tarah hai—expensive, beautifully packaged, lekin andar se khali. Aaj hum is classic work ko explore karte hain aur dekhte hain ki kaise Onegin ka jeevan Vodka Onegin ke saath correlate karta hai—dono mein ek hi chiz hai: regret! Jab baat regret ki hoti hai, toh thoda humor aur satire toh banta hai, nahi? Eugene Onegin—Ek Bottle Vodka Jo Koi Kholta Hi Nahi " Eugene Onegin" ka character bilkul aise hai jaise ek exquisite Vodka bottle, jo shelf par toh chamakti hai, par koi bhi usko taste nahi karta. Woh paisa, charm, aur social status ke saath hai,...
