Can anyone tell me some good meditation programs? What type of program would be good to control anger, and where can I get meditational training in Chennai? I am asking for my friend. Please, friends, give me your ideas.
No need, just ask your friend to sit quietly for 10 minutes. If he or she does that, they have achieved much more. Meditation is a skill and an art; you have to develop it yourself. 😉
Though Ravi's reply is correct, it's only for advanced individuals like him, not for those of us who are less experienced.
Kavitha, go to Ramakrishna Math (I think it's in Mylapore, though I'm not sure - please verify). They offer excellent courses and sessions to teach the basics of meditation periodically. The teachings are entirely non-religious, even though they are based on concepts from the Vedas and Patanjali Sutras.
It's simple, Taj. You just need to drink the essence of life; then only you can achieve it, dear. But now, people are too polluted. So, for meditation, you need to have strict control over your diet and habits.
No way, Ravi. Controlling diet and habits only MAKES ONE SLIM & TRIM [secret of my figure (?) for sure :mrgreen:]. Try sitting quietly - meaning with NO thoughts in your head - for just a minute, not 10 MIN, and you will know what I mean, sir.
And Kavitha, I didn't notice until I saw Jayant's response that your posting is in the Humour section. Was this meant to be a serious query or a joke?
You can tell your friend to check the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meditation Centre in Annanagar East, Chennai. As far as I know, it is good! I am not sure if it has branches, but I am sure there is one in Annanagar East. Hope you find this useful :)
Meditation is a process through which we can gain power from the Almighty Authority. Without having proper knowledge of the Almighty Authority, practicing meditation is like searching for pearls while floating on the sea.
Please read the following paragraph to get an idea about Meditation:
"Our Real Identification
We have been going to religious places, offering prayers, worshiping gods, etc. But we forget that we have not been praying to the idol but to the divine force within it. Similarly, it is not the corporeal body but the spiritual entity within that prays/worships. The divine force is the Supreme Soul, and the spiritual entity is the soul."
Let me tell you one thing, Kavita... since you said it definitely is a serious thing. Stop searching and begin action. Identify someone or some institution and begin... leaving the choice to HIM. If your choice wasn't meant for you, it will get disconnected... without your effort - which is an indication for you in that direction [since many at that time begin to make judgments about the trainers/institutions, which isn't right]. Now I am serious, Kavita... no kidding here.
Rgds, TS
