Meditation is the stilling and focusing of the mind on our innermost essence. Usually our minds are restlessly wandering, flickering like a a candle flame in the wind, easily disturbed by external influences. Meditation is like focusing scattered rays of light into a laser beam that can penetrate through the turbulence of the conscious and subconscious mind until it contacts the ever-blissful deep peace of our infinite Self.
Mantra is the focusing lens of this laser. It is a refined sound that has a synchronising effect on the restless vibrations of the mind, tuning it to the vibration of the Cosmic Mind.
Meditation is a practice anyone can do regardless of background and beliefs. It is possible to meditate and feel the benefits for anyone. Meditation is a very valuable tool in life that helps & strengthens us.

Sadhana (Sanskrit: साधन) is a Sanskrit term used to refer to a daily spiritual practice. Sadhana represents a disciplined surrendering of the ego, in which the practitioner uses tools such as asana, pranayama, meditation and chanting on a daily basis.
Anything that is practiced with awareness, discipline and the intention of spiritual growth can be considered as sadhana, but it must be practiced alone and for the sake of the individual. As such, it does not need to be a physical activity; even daily self-study of yogic or spiritual scriptures is a form of sadhana.
Sadhana is also a means of forging a ritual connection with God or universal energy. It encourages the practitioner, known as the sadhaka, to use self-discipline in order to achieve power over the ego and maintain connection with universal oneness. With regular daily practice, the practitioner continually realigns his or her inner self, slowly progressing toward the very ultimate expression of consciousness known as samadhi.
means to look inside yourself for the infinite source of peace and happiness which lies within; to feel the bliss which is the essence of your existence. That bliss is within you, just as it is within everybody and everything.

“A musk deer searches for the source of the fragrance of musk, but it won’t find it because the fragrance comes from within itself. Bliss is not to be found outside of us; it exists within us.”
