Two methods to achieve concentration and higher states in Meditation

Meditation is never boring because it brings us in touch with consciousness. The shape is dead, and the essence is alive. Consciousness is the essence of all things. To touch the essence, the concentration is necessary. There are two methods to achieve concentration, the hard and easy one, in this video Dada explains both.
00:08 Why mind can be distracted in meditation
02:46 What we explore in meditation
07:37 How to concentrate mind and reject thoughts
15:00 How mantra works
16:14 How to do meditation if the mind is too busy
19:45 Meditation as a science of subject

Dada, 2 weeks ago I tried what u said to search for who is sucking the thought to get pleasure from. Suddenly explosion happened and found my self crying and laughing at the ego self. Since then my life has changed, I feel Baba is driving my life now. Thank you from my bottom of my heart❤

[@georgomuller]

Recently discovered this channel and am really enjoying and loving the content! But, as a scientist myself (Msc in environmental sciences), I enjoyed this video even more! I always try to instigate my scientist peers to do inner research. I agree that a true scientist would research both externally and internally. I've been trying to do that.

[@PoetDesh]

'From the projection to the Projector' - So beautifully said! This sums up all.

[@chaththa85]

This is so beautiful n profound!!! ❤️💐🙏🙏🙏💐❤️😭😭😭 I accept u as my virtual Guru! 🙏🥲😇 Namaskaram 🌹

[@hflores6324]

Happy 2024 Dada. Just started the climb of the mountain called meditation. Thank you for your generosity and inspiration.

[@earthlifeanddivine2909]

What a beautiful way of putting the science n spirituality from a modern man s perspective! If you have not studied it, how can you say you dont believe it exists?! This is no science to reject something before even researching on it! Wonderful!the more I'm following your discourses Dada, more am I getting fascinated by what Sri Sri Anandamurti has been as a guru!🙏🙏🙏

[@Gidowan]

The background is so beautiful. The union between sky and sea is so perfect, that it is not so easy to notice the horizon.

[@SaiF290]

Dada, I find your talks to be really pure, thorough, and inspiring. Thank you.

[@kironpaira3867]

Techniques matter most and he has correctly stated where we have to focus our mind But I still feel that he makes more video to elaborate the same subject.

[@MarkAlaine]

I just heard this talk. I felt immediate Liberation. You are a true friend.

[@loscastores6425]

Nice metaphor, scientists are actually afraid to spend time researching on their inner labs, but that's about to change! May the force be with you! Spasiva.

[@selwia.771]

Thank you Dada! I am listening your videos several times and with each time I find something new I missed before.

[@mariamkamal4422]

"Your "I" is a projector of the Great Projector" I love this quote. Thank you for all these vivid pictures that you use in explanations.

[@Mohanadeva]

Namaskar ’Meditation is never boring’ The act of giving every ’baba nam kevalam’ to the source - to compare it with a metaphor, felt like a car changing from neutral to first gear Thank you so much The act of giving.. and to be able to give and give again, friendship, compassion, relationship ,mirth. An elevation. Feels light Baba nam kevalam One Baba nam kevalam two Every inhalation and exhalation being a gift to consciousness..

[@ebruistan4210]

Since I discovered these videos, my practice became regular and deep. Coincidence? I don't think so. I can feel the theory and experience are emenating at the same time and usually get goosebumbs while watching them. Many things makes more sense after these explanations. Thank you so very much.

[@MeditationSteps]

Thank you for a very inspiring feedback! We are glad you find our videos so helpful!

[@zakphat1]

Beautifully spoken. Deeply resonated within. New perspective inspired. Thank you BABA.

[@ammarali2880]

[@ommeditationmind1554]

This yogi I like. He speaks from a place of being. Nice explanation using words to describe "That" which cannot normally cannot be spoken of.

[@puiyingloh9042]

Namaskar Dada. I have used your examples in this video and translated it to my friend in China and we love your explanations about how to concentrate our mind to the supreme conscious. Thank you very much for the inspiration , hope can learn more from Dada and everyone :)

[@MeditationSteps]

Thank you. I like this topic very much, it always brings freshness to the mind.

[@tripti1339]

Js simply listening to this, makes mind calm.. it's better that I watch this before doing my sadhana

[@amritachakraborty8827]

I really like the way u inspire us. U slip into our shoes & understand where the shoe can pinch & inspire us to walk on.....the path of meditation 🙏🏼

Wow, Dadaji, you are amazing......you can navigate from religion into science with such precise and deep knowledge. Every video you make is a jewel for the Universe. Thank you for such a precious gift to humanity. Everyone should watch your video, not once but many times, because every time you listen to it, a new concept rises in the mind. Baba Nam Kevalam

[@Hansel783]

Namaskar, thank you so much Dada, you really give me a hit on my practice of meditation.

[@joninviihdevirallinen6301]

Rare has yoga wisdom, with humor in it! Haha, you always make me laugh, and learn new things!

[@giannelligiuseppina1394]

DIVINE TALK THANK YOU

[@kironpaira3867]

You have learned very much. Where we have to focus our mind in meditation, you have correctly stated. Explore more. Something more need to be explored. The centre is called the primordial, Purusottama. But there are other aspects of practice to completely dissolve samsara without which it is not possible to attain complete oneness. You are teaching very well and I really hope you will learn the highest technique. Oneness is the highest goal and the learning the right techniques matter most.

[@boom123psy]

Namaste Dada. Thank you , thank you, thank you

Brilliant. I would love to do a meditation retreat with you doing the Dharma talks in the evenings! I think I could meditate 10 hours a day for 10 years straight if you delivered

[@jameshetfield5894]

Oops, accidentally hit send. Anyway, I was going to say if you delivered talks like you gave in this video. Namaste, thank you!

[@atibz3134]

Dada or the team, 🙏🏻. Could u pls make the relaxation video in an English version? It's really great! Would like to share with my English speaking friends. Thank you in advance🙏🏻💛

[@yazanabuhamdan3516]

Baba Nam Kevalam 🙏

[@thequietcanadian4494]

It would be helpful if you had English captions so that you could be understood. The captions on KZbin, or the way your videoIs somehow processed, does not allow for captions to be turned on and off. Therefore the captions will need to be embedded.

[@beatriztemperance2414]

Meu sonho esses vídeos serem legendados

[@liaforubeb]

dada, what if i suddenly i think about baba or ideating myself to baba , is baba also the projection of my mind ? because i feel so blissful and moved by the feeling of having thoughts of baba.

[@samuraijack1371]

Pranaam🙏, I have been listening to your talks and I find them very helpful. I feel lucky to have come across this channel. I wanted to know can I sit straight during my meditation practice. Whenever I sit, after 10 mins or less my back starts to hurt and I need the support of a wall or cushion. How do I train my body to sit straight? Thank you🙏

[@aj28969]

Start to sit in ardha siddhasana (lots of youtube videos), the same way the dada is sitting in the video. It is the optimum posture for meditation.

[@johnkaufman5899]

Hi Dada, Namaskar :) Thank you for your videos! I have searched for something from you about how evil things are part of supreme consciousness, or how to reconcile with the evil in this world. I will keep looking and trying to understand but if you could make a video about it that would be much appreciated! Thank You!

[@srinathhr]

Hi John, This question was posed to one of the Sannyasins of Shringeri Math in South of India, and he guided that person to Durga Suktham. This tells that all forces (both evil and good) in the universe are manifestation of supreme being - so we dont need to have repercussions for evil with in us and outside. You can hear to the Devi Sukta in you tube videos . its meaning @ astro121.com/index.php/durga-saptashati-in-english/rigvedoktam-devi-suktam.

[@paulalister]

How can I contact you Dadaji, from Ac Narada Muni

[@fernandochavez222]

In that laboratory how much time have you spent in it ? That got me you got me there

[@catalinul1461]

Hello sir! I've been practicing meditation for more than an year and I experienced some really "great" things, I traveled outside my body, I've seen things from the future, while outside my body, in the "spiritual" world I met many beings, I've even searched for the Creator.I met what I call the Christ several times, I was face to face with Christ while He was standing on the cross. I've observed the lives of other people, I channeled messages, in other words, I heard voices talking in my head telling me things and this only happened while in deep meditation. I've seem myself as an angel of light, having an armor of light and wings, I've also seen negative entities, demons if you want. What do you say about all of this? My life also improved tremendously but I feel that I am lacking something and I can't reach the next "stage".All of this started when I started to meditate, I also had strange experiences in past but nothing like this.

[@MeditationSteps]

Namaskar Catalinul, Thank you for your question. I can only recommend that you subscribe to our online meditation course: meditationsteps.org. You will receive videos with step by step instructions how you can improve your meditation as well as your physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

[@co-opadmin9562]

Thank you Dada. Could you please see if someone could do a video of daily Asana practice, for women, my mum used to do a mantra when she was drying her body after a shower, and then another mantra which she did at the end of yoga. I forget it and she has passed on. Namaskar 🙏🧡

[@MeditationSteps]

Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 Here`s a playlist (kzbin.info/aero/PLtXup65mEgK37GD8jUT-Jr-PCaAZLlz_1&si=B2fxhxOBRpjvXBDs) with the Rajadhiraj Asanas and Mudras, based on the system of biopsychology (body and mind), that affects our physical health, develops our inner being and a harmonious outlook in life.

[@willybernhardtz7641]

hey dada, do you know any spiritual teachers in sweden? Thank you for everything :)

[@oskarolczak8585]

Dada, is there any advantage of using B.N.K mantra vs. for example Vipassana technique? I am in a very confused state of my path. I don't know what to do. I feel like I cannot identify myself with mantra in a different language. I just don't feel it. Please clarify if you see this message. Namaste.

[@chriswalth]

Oskar Olczak Good question! I was wondering the same. It‘s difficult to stick to your practice (in my case vipassana), if you come across other interesting approaches like the one presented here. Some advice from Dada would be very appreciated.

[@dgzoz1548]

Why do you dont have subtitles activated I am german an not so good in english so it would be helpful to activate them ;)

[@MeditationSteps]

Namaskar, we are in the process of adding English subtitles for all our videos. It has to be done manually, so will take a couple of months to complete all the videos. Thanks
