least as far back as 12,OOO B.C. a lthough it is generally accepted tat the
Vedas appear at different times of the cosmic creation forte benefit of human
society. They are considered to be the revelations of the Divine nature, and
its relationship within and without us. "Mantra" is the term used to
mean Divine sound vibration or the word of God. There are teachings of mantras
(hymns), teachings of ritual, theology, and philosophy at the root of all the
vedic sciences. The point of all is the knowledge of the soul called "atma
vidya", being our real "self" and separate and distinct from the
material body , and the material world which surrounds us.

| | | |  Meditation: Relax and Surrender with Suryayog
Suryayog or Sun-meditation is one of the most rewarding and natural of all human activities, says Swami Surya Jowel. It produces wonderful results at all levels of our being - physical, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It connects us with our very own inner powers of vitality, clarity, light and love. It removes blocks and so unfetters our natural abilities. It helps us to improve ourselves. Our relationships become centred, balanced, and more loving. It cultivates awareness and the quality of being alive. Suryayog is not just a technique for relaxation; it is the path of surrendering to the Absolute.

| | | | |  Meditation: Dazzling Mystical Lights in MeditationDazzling
Mystical Lights in Meditation
Sometimes, during meditation, you will get very powerful and dazzling
lights, bigger than the sun. They are white in color. In the beginning, they
come and disappear quickly. Later on, they are steady and they become fixed for
ten to fifteen minutes according to the strength and degree of concentration.
For those who concentrate at the Trikuti, the light appears in the forehead;
while for others who concentrate at the Sahasra Chakra, the light manifests
itself at the top of the head. The light is so powerful and dazzling sometimes
that you have to withdraw yourself from looking at it and break the meditation.

Health Dictionary on Transcendental Meditation
Transcendental Meditation (TM): One of the two most important techniques of Maharishi Ayur-Ved. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi founded TM in 1957 and introduced it in the United States in 1959. Transcendental Meditation is a means of experiencing pure awareness. It involves sitting comfortably, with eyes closed, for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day while one mentally repeats a mantra. In Transcendental Meditation, a mantra is a thought-sound that has a known vibratory effect but does not have a designative meaning. The TM teacher chooses a mantra suitable for the initiate.

| | | |  Meditation: The Four Paths of Hindu YogaThe four main
spiritual paths for God-realisation are Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and
Jnana Yoga. Karma Yoga is suitable for a man of active temperament, Bhakti Yoga
for a man of devotional temperament, Raja Yoga for a man of mystic temperament,
and Jnana Yoga for a man of rational and philosophical temperament, or a man of
enquiry.
Mantra Yoga,
Laya Yoga or Kundalini Yoga, Lambika Yoga and Hatha Yoga, are other Yogas. Yoga,
really, means union
with God. The practice
of Yoga leads to communion with the Lord. Whatever may be the starting point,
the end reached is the same.

| | | | | Meditation: Purification of Mind You must have a pure mind if you want to
realise the Self. Unless the mind is set free and casts away all desires,
cravings, worries, delusion, pride, lust, attachment, likes and dislikes, it
cannot enter into the domain of Supreme Peace and unalloyed felicity of the
Immortal Abode.

Hindu Quotes: Practice of Meditation
These two paths, the light and the dark, are said to be eternal, lending some to liberation and others to rebirth. Once you have known these two paths, Arjuna, you can never be deluded again. Attain this knowledge through perseverance in yoga. There is merit in studying the scriptures, in selfless service, austerity, and giving, but the practice of meditation carries you beyond all these to the supreme abode of the highest Lord. - Bhagavad Gita 8:26-28
