What is Meditation<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Meditation<\/a> is an effective way to train your mind and to connect yourself with the divine. Today life has become fast-paced, the world is turning more chaotic, and we are losing our inner peace. Meditation has proved to be the best prescription for experiencing inner bliss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some will receive initiation from their Guru and go for a tirtha yatra (spiritual trip) and meditate in the power spots ideal for meditation.

Likewise, meditating on hills and mountains is also suggested by the scriptures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
