Where to Begin?

When a person begins an interest in meditation, many questions may arise: What is meditation? Why meditate? How do I meditate? What do I do to succeed in meditation?

The following articles are designed to answer these questions and to set the meditator on the road to success.

  • What is Yoga? –A brief study of both the philosophical and practical nature of Yoga as the capstone of self-culture and enlightenment.
  • Foundations of Yoga –The basis of all Yoga practice are the “Ten Commandments of Yoga”–the principles of Yama and Niyama outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. This booklet considers the various aspects of each principle as well as the spiritual power which is developed through each one.
  • Spiritual Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet – A spiritual perspective on vegetarianism and its benefits for the seekers of higher consciousness.
  • Introduction to Om Yoga – Yoga is all about freedom. Only a fraction of the earth’s population is formally locked up, but the entire human race is imprisoned in the earth itself. Om Yoga is the Way to freedom from sufferings and limitations.

When you familiarize yourself with the ideas contained in these articles, you can read Om Yoga–Its Theory and Practice a complete, in-depth book on the practice of Om Yoga Meditation, the most ancient and authentic method of meditation in Hinduism.
