Beyond Boundaries

Beyond Boundaries
A Leap beyond Boundaries of the Mind with Passive Meditation! Nishkriya Dhyan is a very peaceful and passive form of meditation , yet one which is powerful and relieves all stress and strain. In the course of this meditation , Gurumaaji guides a seeker to experience the tranquility and calm of Buddha by standing apart from the body but passively watching each an every part of it as a silent onlooker. The sounds of flowing water and chirping birds in the backdrop create a natural atmosphere ,wherin a seeker can experience meditation by a lake or forest while sitting in the confines of his/her home. The meditation begins with a prayer invoking divine power and sincerity of purpose, followed by the actual process of meditation and ending in gratitude which overflows naturally from the experience of bliss and peace that this meditation bestows upon a seeker!

Stuti Sutra

Stuti Sutra
"Dhyana Moolam Guru Murti, Puja Moolam Gurur Padam,
Mantra Moolam Gurur Vakyam, Moksha Moolam Guru Kripa"
'Know meditation by observing the Master's form. Learn the true art of prayer by surrendering at the lotus feet of the Guru. Every word spoken by the Master is a mantra for prayer and enlightenment is but the ultimate grace of the Guru'
'Stuti Sutra' is an all out proclamation of love and praise for the Master who cuts down the shackles of ignorance of a disciple and lets him soar into the vast open skies of truth.

"Yasya Smaran Matren Gyaanamutpadyate Swayam,
Sah Ev Sarvsampati Tasmat Sampujyed Gurum"
"Just by remembering whom, the supreme reveletion occurs, He is your all wealth, just adore Him, bow to Him"
The beautiful, heart piercing shlokas in this album are a tribute offered by sages of ancient India in honor of the enlightened Guru. If you just surrender all your knowledge and pride and listen to them with a truly sincere heart, you cannot but escape from the magic that follows. It fills your entire being with an inexpressible feeling of spritual love, pain, pure devotion and endless gratitude.The shlokas and the 'Manas Puja' capture your heart and send you deeper and deeper down into an ecstatic river of joy and silence.
And when you begin feeling the calm within your heart, like soft soothing moonlight,you would love to sing along with 'Taaron Mein Chandra Saaman Ho' which lauds the Guru as a bright radiant moon of knowledge in the dark starry night of life.
And finally , just as the smell of a rose cannot be described by a thousand words until you actually smell it, so also is Stuti Sutra, a fragrant tender flower , which cannot be described by harsh broken words. Open your heart with unconditional surrender and feel the magic for yourself!

Sparsh

We are an embodiment of divine, yet seeking happiness in the outside world because we have lost contact with our own self. 'Sparsh' as a meditation technique enables an individual to connect with one's body in a friendly way, leading towards an inner source of bliss. Being respectful to one's body with awareness is the key to derive maximum benefit from this technique. It restores the mental peace and provides a wonderful experience of relaxation. In Tantra Yoga, the body is seen as a powerful and useful instrument in a seeker’s quest for truth. The body is used as a medium of being mindfully aware and present in this very moment. In this guided meditation video, Gurumaaji draws a seeker’s attention to his or her own body and gradually shows a seeker to be a witness of this body and all its functions. Practicing this meditation sincerely brings immense peace and relaxation with it.

Shwason Ka Vigyan

In Shwason Ka Vigyan, a living master, Anandmurti Gurumaa teaches the esoteric art and science of breathing. This meditation technique constitutes certain deep breathing exercises and pranayama that produce profound peace and ecstasy. Breathing is our constant companion, but all through out our lives we remain oblivious of its art and science. Every emotional/psychological state has its corresponding pattern of breathing; anger, tension, happiness, all have related breathing patterns which can be observed, understood, and transformed with awareness. If you can become aware of how you are breathing, especially when negative feelings arise in the difficult times of breakdown, stress, anxiety and if you can redirect the flow of your breath at those times, you will experience immense tranquility; you will feel more energized, balanced, and relaxed.

Learn and celebrate the spirit of breath through Shwason Ka Vigyan!

Sacred Spaces

Living in the present moment is the core of all spiritual practice. The obsessive thinking has become a habit which is eating out our peace. Being free from future and past ghosts requires sheer patience and consistency in ones practice. Mindfulness is the key and the 'Sacred Spaces' meditation is a wonderful method to bring forth this mindfulness with sheer ease.
This technique is based on an ancient Buddhist meditation based on the serene sounds of the sacred musical instruments like "Himalayan singing bowls", "symphonic cups" and "gong", The sound vibrations resonate with every cell of the body and produces wonderful inner spaces. It creates sacred atmosphere that brings forth thoughtlessness and small gaps of silence begin to come and as one moved deeper in it the transgression from sound to soundlessness happens. The essence of this technique lies in listening to these sounds and listening to the subtle moments of gap that comes in between two sounds. It is easy to listen sound but difficult to listen without judging sound, without anticipation of which sound it will be next. These gaps between the sounds act as a catalyst in elevating consciousness to the higher realms.
With regular practice of this meditation you can experience the state of complete silence dawning upon. This is not really a meditation technique for beginners , but is apt for one who is ready to go to a higher level. This is an excellent tool to know where one actually stands, how much razor sharp your awareness is. This guided meditation technique comprising of step by step instructions from Anandmurti Gurumaa is a wonderful way to drown into deep silence of the mind.
