Notes on Spirituality 131221

 Ya ma sa ma ya. That which is not but appears to be so is Maya.


Four Vedas explain who am I.
Pragnayam Brahma. Consciousness is the almighty, all pervading self. (Rigveda Maithreye Up.)
Tata tvam asi. That which you are seeking, you are. (Samveda Chandukya Up.)
Ayam atma brahman. My self is brahman. (Atharva veda, Mandukya Up.)
Aham brahmasmi. I am Brahma. (Yajurveda, Bhridaranyak up.)

Rama is acharniy (worth emulation) and Krishna is shravniy (worth listening)

Spirituality is anything that lifts your spirit like music also, poetry, art, songs and practices like meditation, knowledge.

Quality of your life is dependent on quality of your mind and meditation is like a daily shower for your mind. It is five times more effective than sleep to refresh your mind.

Mindfulness requires efforts. Meditation is effortless. Meditation is transcending mind. In Patanjali Yoga Sutra there are three stages mentioned. Dhyana or focus, dharana like oil continuous and samadhi is meditation

Mantra is the sound vibration that allows you to transcend the mind. It energises mind and uplifts your consciousness.

There are 12 constellations and 9 planets so 108 possible impacts. That is why we chant 108 times. Vedic astrology.

Mental chanting is more effective than vocal chanting as it avoids distractions and helps you meditate
