Siddha Meditation

Meditation is one of the purest forms of exercise. Everybody in this world, irrespective of the fact what might be their occupation and existence, has the capability to meditate. Meditation unleashes the inner truth and the divine wisdom to the worldly human beings. However, meditation is just the medium of unlocking the hidden treasure within the corporeal human body. This is ineffective without the guidance of a Guru or teacher.

The Guru endows the disciple with the power of Shaktipat, which opens the doors of wisdom to the seeker. After shaktipat, the degree of meditation deepens and draws the person intensely towards the target of Self-realization. Thus meditation can be termed as a process of directing our attention inwards. It compels the disciple to unravel the greatest mystery of life; that is in human form, we are also divine and possess divinity within ourselves.

Meditation focuses the mind on the goal and attracts attention towards the God within, like bees towards honey. After the surreal experience of knowing the divine power within, the restlessness of the individual settles down, relaxing him to the core. A unique sense of perfection and divinity floods the senses of the person. Siddha yoga facilitates the experience of the same everyday, for a brief time period.

Gradually, after a certain period of time, the understanding of the disciple shifts and he becomes more and more receptive towards his inner power. The process of meditation becomes easy as well as more effective. It is easily accessible in the due course of daily activities. The inner God seems closer than the breath and the every day world is infused with the divine presence. In the words of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, "When you meditate, the silence of the senses illumines the presence of God within".
