What is Meditation? Meditation is a word that has been used frequently in loose and inaccurate ways in the modern world. There exists a lot of confusion with regards to meditation and how to practice it. While some use it for thinking and contemplating, others use it for daydreaming and fantasizing. But DHYANA( meditation) is not any of these.
Meditation is a precise technique for relaxing and concentrating the mind while attaining a state of thoughtless consciousness which is completely different from the normal awakened state. Through meditation we can dive deep into the various levels of consciousness. It is a completely non-religious practice and science of the mind which follows a proper order having definite principles and produces results that have been verified from time to time.
During meditation the mind is clear, relaxed, and inwardly focused. When you meditate, you are fully awake and alert, but your mind is not focused on the external world or on the events taking place around you. Meditation requires an inner state that is still and focused during which the mind becomes still, and in this state it does not suffer from any distraction.

Weekly Certificate Course
Derived from the Sanskrit word “yuj”, Yoga means union of the individual consciousness or soul with the Universal Consciousness or Spirit. Yoga is a 5000 year old Indian body of knowledge. Though many think of yoga only as a physical exercise where people twist, turn, stretch, and breathe in the most complex ways, these are actually only the most superficial aspect of this profound science of unfolding the infinite potentials of the human mind and soul.
The science of Yoga imbibes the complete essence of the Way of Life, including – Gyan Yoga or philosophy, Bhakti Yoga or path of devotional bliss, Karma Yoga or path of blissful action, and Raja Yoga or path of mind control. Raja Yoga is further divided into eight parts. At the heart of the Raja Yoga system, balancing and unifying these various approaches, is the practice of Yoga Asana.

Pranayama weekly course
Pranayama is the perfect control of the life-currents through control of breath, and is the process by which we understand the secret of prana and manipulate it. You can hardly make any spiritual progress without the practice of pranayama. One who has grasped this prana has grasped the very core of cosmic life and activity. Through various exercises and training in pranayama the yogi tries to realize in this little body the whole of cosmic life, and attain perfection.
Breath is a physical aspect or external manifestation of prana, the vital force, and thus pranayama begins with the regulation of the breath. Breath, like electricity, is gross prana, while prana itself is subtle. By controlling the breath you can control the prana – just as you can control the other wheels by controlling or stopping the fly wheel of a diesel engine, and just as you can control the hairspring, cog wheels and the main spring of a watch by controlling the minute hand. Control of breath is achieved through manipulation of the lungs and the breathing process
