The purpose of meditation

Meditation is a very incomprehensible term, it is not a theory that can be discerned through logic nor be deduced and induced by facts. It is completely an inner phenomena. It is like the process of boiling the seawater for the salts to crystallize. Mediation is like a entering inside a big house and reaching the center point or the pinnacle of the house.

The house can be compared to your body and the center point of the house can be compared to ones existence and soul. From the outside, a house is seen to have a definite fixed shape and form, when you enter inside the house, the outer fixed shape and structure is transcended and all you can see is the enclosed area, the pillars. From their if you make your way to the center point of your house i.e the pinnacle then one will practitioner will realize that the house started from a fixed base and structure and ended at a point of the pinnacle. The tip of the pinnacle is the point where the house disappears and only a point remains.

Like, the journey of the house, meditation is a journey from your structured body to inside your body. You then transcend the pillar of bones and the walls of the meat and ligaments. The point of your body is somewhere inside the Brahmarandhra, Sahasrar Chakra. The main objective of ones meditation is reaching this point inside the body which separates a person from being Shiva.

The purpose of mediation varies from people to people. Some yoga teachers may say the purpose of meditation is peace, the westerner yoga business may say,"the purpose of yoga is to let everything go and be peaceful and also to be healthy" and for a tantra practitioner the purpose might be to gain mastery over the nature and for a Buddha it might be to attain nirvana.

So mediation is a very subjective term. The purpose and the intentions of doing the yoga and meditation varies from people. But to do a mediation with or without the purpose surely makes a big difference. I feel that one should practice meditation with an intention. Well to do nothing and to be still is also an intention. Intention matters the most when it comes to meditation.

For instance, if you intend to be thoughtless then you should concentrate all your thoughts into one single thought and then later the single thought to no thought. Going from many thoughts to no thoughts is impossible but going from numerous thoughts to a single thought is easy. From going to thoughtlessness from that single thought is more easy then compared to numerous thoughts.

The purpose of meditation in short is the intention by which one practices the meditation. If you meditate to be a Buddha you are correct and if you meditate for peace you are also correct. Therefore always intend whats best for you when you are meditating.

Maha Yogi Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaj: A glimpse of my experiences

Before i even start eulogizing  the grate tantric tradition of the Himalayas, the Yogini Kaula tradition, I would like to pay my homage to the venerable reverend, His Holiness Kaulantak Peethadeshwar Mahayogi Satyendra Nath ji maharaj who is the abode of the timeless eternal Hindu religion and practices. He is the walking, talking encyclopedia of Hinduism.

He has the full knowledge of the 64 art forms as mentioned in the scriptures and he is the current head i.e Peethadeshwar of the Kaulantak Peeth as mentioned in the last post and also the current head of Panchapeeth which in spiritual realm means the whole world, as per the gurumandalas, the whole world were divided into five peeths, roughly like the five continensts in historic periods. If there is one mention that makes His holiness and we all Bhairav/Bhairavi incomplete is Mahag...

Vajra Yogini and Vamana Avatara

Image
If you do not know who Vajra Yogini is, please click on the link to know more about the goddess (https://kaulapedia.com/en/vajra-yogini/) Vajra Yogini is the goddess of two fold path of 'tamas' and 'vama'. Her path is the path from tamas to the truth. First when the sadhaka engages in her practices, they first indulge in tamas to master it. After some years of rigorous penance when one perfects the sadhana, they leave behind their tamas nature and they ascend to light.  Vajra Yogini is also mentioned in our scriptures but not directly. She has to be decoded. Just like the whole world who think Vamana avatara of Lord Vishnu was a Brahmin. Vamana clearly was a person who was an ardent follower of Vama or the left hand path to god.     The Vamana avatara of Lord Vishnu had perfected a particular form of Vajra Yogini . Vamana was an ascetic who after deep penances of Lord Shiva perfected Vajra Yogini form, where she is portrayed as standing with one leg while the other l...
