Extended Campus Programs
Meditation Programs - An Introduction
Why meditateThe right question to start with – ‘Why meditate?’Ask yourself, ‘Why are you reading this now?’ You could have been reading anything else now; why this? Your action itself shows that there is a deep-seated need for meditation inside you – and inside everyone of us.
Each of us is searching for nothing but ananda or bliss. However intellectual, however sophisticated may be the terms in which we express it, we are all seeking bliss. Only the ways we are searching for are different – through money, power, relationships etc. The word ananda itself means, ‘that which cannot be reduced’. It is not happiness or pleasure. It is the state beyond both pleasure and pain, where both pleasure and pain no longer affect you. The straight and sure route to that bliss is meditation. When you meditate, you go beyond the narrow limits of your body, of your ego. This is a difficult concept to understand. But, with sincere meditation, you can simply experience it. Meditation relaxes the body and mind, bringing clarity of thought. This helps you see life with a new perspective, and you start living intensely and spontaneously. It is the guaranteed solution to your stress, depression, worries, fears and all your negative emotions that mask your true nature of bliss. For more details contact IVHU |
