Meditation diaries

I had written a post sometime back, on a particular observation during practise of asanas and meditation. Interestingly I had a comment by a gentleman talking about the a very sweeping description of meditation.
It was a very good description and I would like to agree with him on a lot of aspects. But if I [...]

Meditation diaries

I had received a book written in Tamil by my Guru and it has been quite an interesting journey.
For one, it is not a book which can be read at one go. To say the least, it is a book which should only be read a couple of pages a time. This is because of [...]

Meditation diaries

There have been numerous interpretations for the word meditation. I am sure you would have a fair idea of your own. I have something to say with respect to my understanding of mediation.

‘I think you are in a confused sttate right now and need to take some time off.
This is reflected in the rambling structure of your post.
I dont think that there is anything erroneous about a doctor observing a patient to study symptoms. Even if [...]

Everything is in the seed-3

There could be myriad interpretations for this and my understanding is it basically means a person who has given himself, which means everything which [...]

My diaries on introspection 14102008

I have written a previous post about the importance of systematic and consistent habits in my life. I would like to take this forward in a different thread.

My diaries on introspection 13102008

My focus on self-discipline is taking on greater imprtance in the last few months. I have led a nomadic existence for a long period of time, for the past 4 years to be precise. I was in college before that. Everything related to studies, food and general activity were more or less in a haphhazard [...]
