How To Meditate
About This Book
This book is a compilation of lectures given by Guruji Krishnananda from 1990 to 1995 on Sundays at Taponagara, covering a range of subjects like Rishis, Satya Yuga, Meditation, Energies, Reincarnation, importance of individual transformation and many others. These lectures are not discourses on scriptures. The Knowledge is received directly from his guru, Maharshi Amara and the Sapta Rishis living in Higher Planes.
What You'll Learn
• Understand the specific preparations that effective meditation requires: the physical conditions (posture, environment, time), the attitudinal prerequisites (non-forcing, patience, consistency), and the lifestyle factors that either support or undermine meditative depth
• Learn the core technique Guruji teaches for stilling the mind: the specific object of awareness used, how to relate to thoughts that arise without either suppressing them or following them, and the quality of gentle but persistent return to the object
• Grasp the traditional understanding of the stages of meditative development: the progression from concentrated attention through sustained focus to the threshold of deeper states, and what each stage feels like from the inside
• Recognise the obstacles that arise at each stage of practice — restlessness, dullness, distraction, subtle pleasure, and the various forms of the ego's resistance to genuine quieting — and the specific countermeasures the tradition prescribes
• Appreciate the goal of meditation as Guruji presents it: not relaxation or stress reduction (though these are natural byproducts) but the direct recognition of the pure awareness that is one's actual nature — the state that all the preparation and technique is designed to make accessible
