The Saint of Suffering

Part I - Injin the Joyous

In a small village on the banks of the great river Ganga, there lived an immensely happy boy named Injin.  He was full of the energy of life and seemed to be tapped right into the hidden stream of spontaneous joy that runs through the heart of every human being.

His contagious smile made the whole village a happy place and all the villagers loved spending time with this uplifting spirit.  All except one… the Seer.

Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Overcoming Deep Seated Fears

Kundalini Yoga for Overcoming Fears

No Fear of Death & Fearlessness

A great thing about Kundalini Yoga exercises, is that sometimes the same exercise has some nice variations which can help one accomplish a wide range of goals.  Some of these variations come in the form of simply a different breathing pattern, which allows for different effects to be achieved.

Last week I added the sixteenth exercise to the Free Online Kundalini Yoga Exercises E-book, the simple yet wonderful Cat-Cow Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Emotional Health.  This beneficial exercise is in itself worth incorporating into a daily yoga routine, and done with the variation below, it can also be a valuable technique for fighting deep seated fears, including the ultimate fear of death.  It helps build in one no fear and fearlessness.

The Key to Raising Enlightened Children

The Right Way to Raise Children 

Children’s Yoga, meditation and spiritual growth is certainly a topic I am eager to explore more here on Mastery of Meditation, and I think there is no better way to kick off this important subject, than by discussing what is the absolute key in raising enlightened, exceptional children.  Children who can fulfill the true purpose of life of Self Realization.

Cultivating a Daily Meditation Practice

Joy of Meditation

In this ongoing series on Insights from Advanced Meditation Practice, I am sharing the realizations which occur with the practice of the Silent Mind Meditation Technique, Gyan Yoga or Zen Meditation.  The insights are the notes that I put down after my daily meditation session, and their content is a reflection of that which was realized when encountering certain states of consciousness or perceiving directly the facts of our internal reality.

The quote below reflects what I think is a very key aspect of daily meditation practice.  It is the joy one gets when watching the mind in action.

Kundalini Yoga Meditation for Healing

Lord Jesus Christ is loved dearly by those of us who practice Yoga and understand the power of love, forgiveness and sacrifice.

J. Krishnamurti Meets the Pope

J. Krishnamurti Quote

Jiddu Krishnamurti on Being Nobody 

These days the Pope is visiting the US and it reminded me of a dialogue between Krishnamurti and the then Pope, when they had once met.  I don’t recall the dialogue exactly or where I had read it, but it went something like this…

The Pope upon meeting Krishnamurti indicated that he had heard of him as the famous Indian philosopher and then proceeded to ask Krishnamurti exactly who he was?

To which Krishnamurti had replied, "I am nobody." 

I don’t recall there was anything more in that dialogue.
