O que seja o papel da meditação, para que serve, como usar e em que circunstâncias, é algo que nem sempre é claro para aqueles que se dedicam ao Yoga . Não é estranho vermos praticantes que, chegados à hora da meditação, vão buscá-la a outras tradições, por dificuldade em encontrar orientação apropriada, ou por falta de entendimento do lugar da meditação na tradição do Yoga.
O Extensivo pretende dar um contributo para que o papel da meditação e uma vida contemplativa possam ser compreendidos não só dentro do Yoga, mas também como caminho independente. Da mesma forma, pretende contribuir para que as técnicas de meditação que cada participante já tenha dentro da sua rotina possam ganhar sentido e assim produzirem os seus efeitos na descoberta do ser completo que somos.

AND THANK YOU ALL, WHEREVER YOU ARE, IN WHICHEVER COUNTRY, FOR THE WONDERFUL TIME WE HAD TOGETHER DURING THE LAST THREE MONTHS. THE NOW FAMILIAR COMBINATION OF WORDS ‘ EAT,PRAY, LOVE’ MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN MEANINGFUL TO MANY, BUT WE ALL DID HAVE THE SIMPLEST YET BEST OF FOOD, PRAYER OF THE ULTIMATE KIND WHERE THE SEER AND THE SEEN ARE ONE AND THE SAME AND NOBODY OR NOTHING STANDS APART, AND LOVE, WHERE ONE ULTIMATELY FALLS IN LOVE WITH ONE’S OWN SELF TO ‘BE’ THE LOVE THAT IS EVERYBODY’S OWN NATURE. THERE IS NO INFERIOR , NO SUPERIOR BUT ONE ABSOLUTE WHERE EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN BEAUTIFUL PLACE. RELATIVELY YOU CAN PLAY ANY ROLE YOU LIKE AS THE OCCASION DEMANDS AND THE BEAUTIFUL WORD IS ‘BE THE SELF’ , THE MEDITATION EVERYWHERE…….

NOW BACK IN INDIA AND THE FLIGHT BACK HOME WAS SMOOTH. AND THE MANGOES WAITING IN ASHRAM WERE SWEET, VERY SWEET. 🙂 ….

I WISH YOU ALL CAN COME TO A MANGO PARTY AND ENJOY IT AS YOU HAVE LEARNT TO MAKE THE EATING A PRAYER AND THE PRAYER AS THE ULTIMATE LOVE OF ONE’S OWN SELF WHERE NOBODY OR NOTHING STANDS APART…

NOW IT IS GOING TO BE MIDNIGHT IN TIRUVANNAMALAI AND THE STILLNESS OF THE MIDNIGHT IS THE STILLNESS THAT WE SHARE AT ALL TIMES AND ALL PLACES EVEN WHEN IT IS RELATIVELY NOT SO VERY QUIET…..

‘BE THAT’ AND MY SINCERE WISHES TO EACH ONE OF YOU WHO GAVE THEIR ALL TIME TO ORGANISE IT SOOOOOO WELL, PARTICIPATE, LEARN OR JUST DROPPED IN OUT OF CURIOSITY, OR CAME TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY OUTINGS OR IN WHATEVER OCCASION. THANKS FOR BEING THERE AND MY SINCERE THANKS TO ALL,

LOVE AND GOD BE WITH YOU,
