OVERVIEW

Meditation is a natural state our mind. A child plays in meditation. A well prepared student writes examination with a meditative mind. A scientist explores the riddles of the universe in meditation. A player plays, a singer sings and a dancer dances in meditation. Even though everyone mediates unknowingly, when one wants to do meditation as a spiritual practice, one witnesses the monkey mind and feels meditation is next to impossible.
