What Are the Stages of Meditation

Dada Vedaprajinananda (Dada Veda) looks at the four stages that a meditator will experience on the path of mantra meditation. This explanation is based on Shrii Shrii Anandamurti’s essay “Yatamana, Vyatireka, Ekendriya and Vashiikara” in the book “Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 33.” All of Anandamurti’s books can be found in the electronic compilation of his works available here: https://www.pathofbliss.com/Sys/Store… To contact Dada directly visit his website https://www.dadaveda.com and get the contact details. #meditation #meditationinstruction #meditationpodcast #mantrameditation#mantra

On the spiritual path, and indeed, on the path of life itself it is very important to be in the company of people who will be support and inspire you to make progress. This kind of good company is called satsang (or satsaunga) in Sanskrit. We can get this good company physically, through Zoom events and even through uplifting literature. This episode is based on the discourse “Auto Suggestion and Outer Suggestion” in Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 14, by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.

Dada Vedaprajinananda (aka Dada Veda) explains how to cultivate Madhuvidya – the sweet knowledge that God is embedded in all the particles of this universe. This can be practice through a special mantra that reminds you that the physical objects that you come in contact with are basically divine, and by your main meditation mantra which reminds you have who you really are.

Dada Vedaprajinananda looks at this question from the yogic perspective.  If God is perfect, then he knows what we need before we even ask it, so according to Shrii Shrii Anandamurti we should not ask for things.  If we ask for anything, then we should ask God to guide our intellect onto the correct path of good and benevolence. The ancient Gayatri Mantra is a prayer of this type.

Dada Vedaprajinananda tackles the question of evil and injustice in a world created by God, using concepts from yoga philosophy (karma and reincarnation), yoga cosmology (the Brahmachakra) as well as physics and chemistry to show that there is no contradiction between the world and God.

In this episode Dada Vedaprajinananda (Dada Veda) demonstrates how to do meditation with the universal mantra (Baba Nam Kevalam “Only the name of the most Beloved” or “Love is All There Is”)

If you are new to meditation, maybe in the first few weeks, you may feel like nothing is happening or perhaps you are doing something wrong. Dada Veda explains why this is natural, but shows how underneath the surface your meditation is actually helping you to reach your goal of finding inner peace and greater mental well being.
