Contents of this page: First seek a moment of direct experience The goal of yoga meditation has to do with the realization of the Absolute center of our being, that which is eternal, and not subject to death, decay, or decomposition. However, the experience of enlightenment comes in stages.
To seek permanent realization, 24 hours per day, every day, seems to most of us to be something unattainable for us individually. Maybe some elite spiritual people may do this, the mind may think, but not us. A good starting place, as a goal, is to seek even one second of direct experience of the Absolute Reality at our Center of Consciousness. Allow that direct experience to expand That one second of direct experience of the Absolute is then allowed to expand. At first, it is a matter of finding our way back to that moment of direct experience, which can seem quite elusive once found and lost. (Although even one second of direct experience creates a groove of memory in the mind-field which is extremely motivating in a positive way.) (See Yoga Sutra 1.50) Then come to DWELL in that direct experience Eventually one comes to dwell in that Absolute Reality 24 hours per day, every day, permanently. The shorter periods of direct experience of the Absolute Reality are as qualitatively deep, but now the sage remains in that place, and is called a master. Ultimately, this is the goal of yoga meditation.
------- This site is devoted to
presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and
beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of
our sadhana or practices is the highest
Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the
center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is
one and the same with the Absolute Reality.
This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga
Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand.
We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti
Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha,
and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer
finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the
Absolute.
