Meditation Lesson One: Entering the Realm of the Infinite

In this video, Dada explains in detail the methodical way to disengage the mind from the physical realm and mental realm so that it may be ready to experience the spiritual realm with the aid of a spiritually charged and cosmically connected sound (mantra).
Lastly, Dada advises the fundamental importance of asanas (yogic postures) and the ten moral principles to create a harmonious physical and psychic environment that will accelerate our progress in spiritual-based meditation.

Dada, I'm from India... I was a student of Ananda Marga School in my childhood...Now I'm 20 years old... I learnt meditation from an Acharya of Ananda Marga 6 years ago... I used to meditate thrice a day for 1 years and my improvement in every field was just wondering everybody... But when I started to procrastinate spiritual practice, I started to deviate... And now I'm totally devastated... I'm preparing myself for MBBS but I can't focus for a long on my study... Finally, I've started meditation again and for BABA's grace I found your channel... I'm taking lessons from your videos... Trying to change myself.... BABANAM KEVALAM....

[@jothinarayanan980]

Namaskar Sister! Have you taken a lesson review from your Acharya? You should.

[@jurekjuju2738]

How are you doing now? BABANAM KEVALAM

[@reshmarevankar2630]

one of the best videos on meditation and mind I have ever come across! After watching your videos there is complete paradigm shift in my thinking!

I wish I could hit the like button a thousand times without the canceling function.

[@NandiniiP]

The best explanation on the 1st lesson I have ever heard. You are amazing, Dada. Brilliant and down to earth talk. Dada, I will make some essential oil combination so the mosquitos will not bother you again, such as lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, tea tree. Or you can crush peppermint leaves and rub them on your skin. Citronella is very, very strong., but could be another option.

[@ravinasharma408]

This talk was just wonderful ❤️ I have always been curious about this process n haven't found anyone who would explain it like you did. Hope to be ready to be initiated someday. Thank you for this talk Dada 🙏🏻

[@MeditationSteps]

Yes, the time will come, keep practicing.

[@intuitivediane]

Yes brilliant talk and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for offering such clarity

namaska dadaji . i ve been initiated 5yers ago. this film gives me a lot of motivation and inspiration. i will review my meditation from acharya again. i will watch this film over and over again. it leads me to the right path of infinite happiness. thanks for making this precious film. like a gem like a light in darkness

[@jaijaisun2282]

Namaskar Dada. I cannot begin to describe the feelings within me that his video has touched upon. I am crying with the love of the universe in my heart. Since the first video I have seen of yours until today, no one has ever, ever inspired me to become a better human being than you have. I realize now how much work I need to do to prepare myself to advance to the next stage, to take on the changes that will be required of me. But finally I decided that this is what I want in every part of my being more than anything else in this world. It fills me with such joy to accept the road ahead of me, knowing that in time, with dedication and practice and patience, at the right time, my guru and mantra will come to me. Thank you, thank you Dada. Namaskar

[@MeditationSteps]

Keep practicing the basic course, in time, I will find you a suitable teacher.

[@jaijaisun2282]

Yes I will!

Namaskar Dada I really inspired after watching this video, It made my meditation better. Before watching it, I had no clear idea about the suddhis, even if I already practice it for a long time. The theoretic aspek of the meditation (Ishvara Pranidhana) is very important but I had neglected it for years.. I really do appreciate your works about this valuable spiritual topic that hand been told by Baba with you as the medium. Thank you so much. Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏

[@MeditationSteps]

Thank you for your sincere comment! You're absolutly right.The study of philosophy is very important for the spiritual seeker. To keep your mind clean, you have to work on yourself regularly. Following a swadhya energizes and inspires you.

[@srinathhr]

NAmaskara Dada, You are igniting passion in us to meditate and to enjoy the spiritual world. Though I greatly miss your proximity, thanks to technology, we can see you and hear your words and become part of this journey. In the absence of a physical Guru who could help me, let me search for the techniques of Shudhis and try to practice them on my own. We are greatly indebted to you and your team at Ananda marga.

Namaskar Dada, I watched this video 6 times, just in case case I missed something, it was highly effective, educational and inspiring. I looking forward to the next 5 further lessons. I am hoping you will mention how to open the inner eye or switch on the light so that I can fire the shot

[@MeditationSteps]

I am glad you found this video interesting. Take a note, that this practices should not be done without a personal instruction from a qualified acarya. I would advise to go through the basic course at meditationsteps.org and after having meditated for more than 100 hours, you can ask me and I can find who can teach you near your location.

[@samarthshah7666]

Thank you once again for the beautiful explanation Dada. If I may ask, is it true that if somebody wants to get initiated, then it will happen only when they are ready for it? Before that, however much they try, they will not be able to meet a Guru in person who is willing to initiate them?

[@antoniocorbachomatthes1629]

You are beautiful , you are blissful, you are pure love. I can tell!!!

[@unturnthisstone]

Dada, may I ask a question - when I say "Baba nam kevalam" in my mind, how and when do I breathe?

[@reshmarevankar2630]

Please let me know if there is a process to take personal training.

[@Hansel783]

Dada, should we repeating the mantra in our mind or out loud, for sound? Also, some people recommend using a mala (beads) to count how many times you have repeated the mantra (something about reaching a certain number of repetitions in 40 days). Is the number of repetitions of the mantra really that important? Thank you.

[@Hansel783]

Dada, I have been repeating the mantra in my mind twice daily for about 45 minutes each time for about a month now. I'm not feeling anything at all. This is discouraging for me....but I continue with my practice, even though my concentration is not that great. I feel disappointed in myself. I think my fault is a lack of concentration? I'm trying to figure out how I can make things better and more encouraging. Any suggestions?

[@norpafro]

Thank you Dada, very enlightening. I'm still trying to purify myself, Alcohol still has a strong hold on me, although it is much less than before I started this journey around 6 months ago, I've given up meat but still eat fish and eggs.

[@norpafro]

@MGTOW EXPOSED I am not qualified to answer that question perhaps on of the Dadas could better answer that

[@MeditationSteps]

Good to hear that, keep practicing!

[@MeditationSteps]

If you abstain from the products mentioned for at least a month at the same time doing meditation, you will feel great difference.

[@Nada-adaN]

@MGTOW EXPOSED Why eat meat, fish and eggs? In every culture people we associate with spiritual development gave them up, Pythagoras, Plutarch and Apollonius of Tyana, Philostratus of Alexandria, Proclus and many other neoplatonists, Socrates advocates it in the Republic. And by the way is anyone claiming that a person is not spiritual independently of the diet?

[@Nada-adaN]

​@MGTOW EXPOSED First of all are we talking about strict vegetarianism or about lacto-vegetarianism? The last being from what I understand the one being advocated by Dada Sananda. If it is the last there are no nutrients lacking for the obvious reason. If it is the first there is a lack of vitamin B12 which doesn't involve going around taking lots of supplements just the one mentioned. On top of that in practice it is often heavy meat consumers that end up lacking minerals and vitamins and taking lots of supplements not to mention drugs for cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension and the rest, whether it be from the diet or because they tend to be less conscious of what they eat. But you can read the books of people with credentials like T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, John McDougall, Dean Ornish and watch their youtube channels for more information.

How to contact you for initiation

[@Vanderful_life]

Dada during my time when I stayed in india I recieved 2 mantras first one was from Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi) I remember that it was my first approachment to welcome meditation in my life :) - I was asked to write to who or to what I want to connect - I wrote I without much thinking Shiva - but then when I was informed in the last moment it doesn't need to be God, I changed to the NATURE - so she whispered me mantra to my ear. my second was is coming from TM movement. you know term of "my mantra is broken" ?? :) I had to charge it already by check up and collective meditation both of them were free of material charge, now when I do meditate I try to use TM one, but quickly the other one is coming to my mind. and now the universal mantra put lots of inner smile when I'm going with it . is changing mantras correct? just go with the flow ?? or try to go deeper just with one (which doesn't lie in my nature I'm jack of all trades but master of none.)

[@jakevikoren]

I don't know the best way but I would suggest listening to your instincts on which one resonates more deeply then practice with that one consistently. If you are not consistent, the mind may feel free to flutter around and concentration will not deepen as effectively. Blessings!

[@potraitdrawing5637]

Dada im 30 yr old man. I have practised asanas since childhood. Nowadays not much. I have tried meditations. I have one doubt. Whenever i watch your videos, or whenever i have spiritual thoughts or feelings suddenly a pressure is built between my eyebrows. What does it mean? I have manipulated this pressure during my meditations by concentrating between eyebrows. But nowadays it is happening whenever i feel spiritual. Why is it so? Why does it happens automatically?
