Here I will give a brief summary of the different meditations. All are done with the eyes closed unless otherwise stated. Having beautiful and peaceful meditation music helps enormously. I recommend certain of the CDs of Logos (Stephen Sircard) or Michele Pepe, all of which are available through our...

Thank you Garuda Panditji for your greeting. I hope that we can offer you something useful! There are many books that I like, but perhaps you can be more specific in your desires? Shall I just post a list of some good books or do you want some specific subject addressed in a book? Thank you for your...

The meditations I use in group-guided sessions are dependent on a proficiency in some basic procedures (techniques, or exercises) that develop within one a deeper capacity to know, to feel, and to act in the meditative state. I here list these basic procedures and in the next text the meditations th...

I changed my mind. I am going to post the meditational techniques in two separate posts in my Blog forum. So please find the answer to your question there. I felt it was better to have this information available for all as in these forums topics disappear after some time when there are so many new o...

Hi there and thank you for joining in. I recommend many different kinds of meditations and practices. All of the techniques used are meant to create increased awareness of our essence, that beingness within that is our self, which facilitates our awareness and connection to all others in the world a...

I see the present value of varnasrama as a psychological tool to dealing with people who touch upon qualities that fit into basic patterns. Yes, it is a very good tool and I use it all the time. It is perhaps the only form of "psychoanalysis" I can relate to and find useful... :D Good gri...

Seems like people need something to talk about in certain organizations. Some time back, I heard the following from someone, "They say that you do all this simply because you need to be adored and revered, otherwise you feel useless." Hmmm. That I feel useless unless I am of service is def...

When it comes to the use of the language and conceptulization for modern day varnashrama, or of the material side of varnashrama, I think you hit the nail on the head with your post. Brilliant! Hey, thanks! Although you also wrote this I see the present value of varnasrama as a psychological tool t...

My two cents: I do not believe that the circumstances of today can be successfully adapted into 'vedic' terms or definitions. Life and time is not static and things do change. The changes that are present today as compared to the historic past in India are massive. Attempts to fit the present manife...

Nasty habit. What need I recognize in people and in my self in order to stop being sooo judgemental? :roll: There are different ways to look at this. You could also choose to judge someone favorably instead of unfavorably! What is really going on is that you do not like someone or do not like what ...

Dear Gangster You are certainly a prolific writer and have many valuable things to say. However, would you please be so kind as to create and engage in forum discussions in the general forum? This forum, "Discussion with Hari" was supposed to be where I personally answered questions. Now I...

I am not sure what I was speaking about, but I have had charts done Western Style by Robert Hand, Lee Lehman and Demetra George and others. I have had many vedic charts as well. If I spoke about the "guru of western astrology" then it was Robert Hand. Naturally, I mainly have advice from K...

What are your thoughts on the social issues, as they pertain to spiritualists? Should we try to build some kind of social structures among ourselves, or simply function within the existing fabric of materialists? I think at one time this was a topic very dear to you, and you had a lot of interestin...

Here is the mantra exactly in the spelling and mood as the oracle gave it to me:

om glongon ganapataye boroboroda
sarva janame bosomanoya hum fat swaha

He said chant minimum 27 times each day.

It is hard to say how you particularly relate to music for the vibrations set off responses within you according to your own unique receptivity. Your consciousness is a product of all that has come before this moment, the mood you are in at present, the surroundings and atmosphere of your environmen...
