Ananda
Marga has a holistic approach to meditation,
as well as the
organization has commonly a wholistic way of life for individuals and
society. One has to start from the basic meditation lesson, which
itself is very logical way of mind withdrawal
from the external world and internal thoughts, thus enabling
meditation. There are also
different aspects into it; the posture, breathing, individual mantra
and visualization.

Second
lesson is a very unique method.
It is for the purpose
of preventing new sanskaras or karma creation. Besides it makes the
life more easy and helps to stand others behavior and happenings
around. It keeps ones mind connected to the divine in practical life.
This has been practiced by ancient yogis, but they didn’t have a
special lesson and mantra for that.
In
order to get third lesson
ancient yogis had to
use a dead body, now Shrii Shrii Anandamurti has made it available in
more easy form and for everyone. Third lesson is about controlling
the cakras, and making way for kulakundalini to rise, while fifth
lesson if for purification of cakras. Cakras control the mind through
glands, which have effect also in the psyche of human being.
Fourth
lesson is pranayama,
which one is able to get
only when the mind is enough balanced and in control. Pranayama can
be even harmful if practiced with unstable mind. When the respiration
slows down the mind and body function better.
Sixth
lesson is again very special,
which only Ananda Marga
has. It directs the mind towards the Supreme and thus means
meditation in the real sense.
These
six lessons anyone can get one by one.
The kapalika, vishesh and microvita lessons are not for everyone.
They are given only for those more advanced, or for certain purpose.
One
should not talk about his/her meditation experiences,
because others start to anticipate more from him/her, or they expect
to have similar experiences themselves. There should not be any
expectations at all.
Mantras
used, are of sanskrit language.
Every sanskrit mantra’s
vibration and meaning are the same. When you repeat the mantra, both
the ideation and the vibration uplift the mind. For those who have
mental problems and difficulties to concentrate Shrii Shrii
Anandamurti has recommended kiirtan. One should first sang and dance
kiirtan for a longer time and then have short meditation. Kiirtan
dancing - with tip of big toe touching the floor in a similar fashion
than in zone therapy - calms down the mind.
These
meditation lessons make the progress certainty.
They burn the old karma
fast and prevent creating new karma. Almost all children of Ananda
Marga families start to practice simple meditation before ten years
old. They eat vegetarian food, and seems to be often the best
students in their class. At teen age they tend to have some years
pause in meditation, but most start the practices again in later age.
Silent meditation and yoga revolution in the world.
Our children learn
meditation and their children will continue. Our teachers initiate
thousands of people every year around the world, and also create new
teachers, so our meditation spreads silently throughout the world.
And we are not alone, there are more and more organizations spreading
meditation, yoga, mindfulness. Yogis are not
only peaceful and loving, they
also loose interest for materialism, competition, exploitation,
fashion etc. Soon the world will be totally different.

From
Shrii Shrii Anandamurti about meditation
The
Supreme Entity is lying covert in you.
If you are awakened by
dint of sadhana (meditation practises), He will also be awakened
(within you), and then you, unit being will become one with the
Supreme Being.
Whenever
anyone develops an intense desire to merge in Him,
Parama Purusa
immediately arranges to impart lessons how to move towards Him, how
to merge in Him. Besides this, there is no other way of returning to
Him.
The
Supreme Goal is one, not many.
The aspirant must
proceed with single-minded devotion. They will have to constantly
remember that howsoever small they may be, they are the fragments of
the Infinite One.
Parama
Purusa is the ultimate goal of existence,
and only to attain Him have human beings come onto this earth. If
they fail to do so, then they do not deserve to be called human
beings. Hence life devoid of dharma is worse than animal life.
