Healing Through Meditation

What is the science behind healing through meditation?

There are a few basic Vedic truths that you need to understand in order to appreciate the science of healing through meditation.

First truth – The human body (pindaanda) is the microcosmic representation of the macrocosmic universe (brahmaanda). Both are made up of the same 5 elements – earth, eater, fire, air and ether. The human body is the most evolved bio-organism on planet earth which is capable of enjoying the best things in both the inner world and outer world.

Living with Truth vs. Logic

By on September 28, 2012   /   Life Solutions  

Do you function purely out of logic or intellect in life?

Let me share with you why I have moved away from living with logic to living with truth.

We are trained by schools, institutions and society to function with just logic or intellect which is fact-based. Facts are logical which is easy for our mind, but truth is beyond logic which our mind cannot fathom. That’s why we always believe facts but doubt the truth. We can use facts to support our thinking and arguments which is easily accepted by society. By and by, we begin to believe that our mind is very logical, we are a logical person. We start to make our mind the master.

I was reminded of a perfect example given by Paramahamsa Nithyananda on facts vs. truth. The fact is you can draw a straight line. According to Albert Einstein, the truth is you CANNOT draw a straight line. To find this out, let’s do a little experiment.

Draw a straight line on a blackboard; next extend the straight line throughout the city. Then extend it further throughout the entire country. Until now it will be a straight line, again extend the straight line to the next country, and then extend it to the next continent. Soon you will realise it will be a curve of the globe. If you cover one more continent with your straight line, what will happen to your so-called straight line? It becomes a circle!

Pain is a Great Teacher

By on March 9, 2012   /   Life Solutions  

Two weeks ago, I started introducing the topic of pain to the eN-Vidyalaya children (age from 4 to 14 y.o), a programme which I volunteer every Sunday as a part of my mission work. In the first lesson, we did an experiment by getting the kids to touch a hot water bag filled with hot water. Basically they were asked to focus on the pain and made it go away. The children initially felt the intense pain from the heat of hot water and withdrew from it immediately. When they were told to bring awareness to their fingers in contact with hot water bag without removing their fingers, they were able to feel the heat at first, then slowly they realised that the pain actually went from intense to rather unnoticeable or enjoyable.  From this simple yet powerful exercise, the children learned that their mind could actually change the perception of any physical pain just by bringing in awareness.

Pain is such an interesting topic because it is a subject that everyone can relate to in life regardless of age. Do you know that the most frightening thing in the world is PAIN? People don’t fear death as much as they fear the pain and agony at the time of death. We may be afraid of poverty, relationship problems or diseases, but if we look deeply the root cause of all these fears, it is the pain that happens while going through these experiences. All these fears are because of the fear of pain.
