I practice meditation every day - nearly an hour, early at dawn. It is a modified form of Raja Yoga - for balancing one's material and spiritual life and gaining moderation and balance in all spheres of our existence, while evolving in spiritual path towards GOD REALIZATION.

The practice is as follows: Seat yourself in an easy and calm posture, in a pure and separate place for your morning practice (sadhana). Pre-suppose a DIVINE LIGHT in your Heart and be receptive to Divine Grace, with a PRAYER addressing the DIVINE. Even though thoughts come and go, they do not disturb us. Learn to ignore them as uninvited guests and direct your thought towards the DIVINE - hold on and "see" your self progressing upwards and feel lighter. After some time, the state comes to normal and remember to "THANK" DIVINE for being with you and place the day's work and activities in the DIVINE's HANDS and carry on your daily routine normally.

9 O'Clock PRAYER - Meditation: At sharp 9 pm, local time wherever you are, lay aside your activity and sit in Universal Prayer Meditation, praying for the welfare and divine evolution of the Brothers and Sisters of Humanity. Pray, "May thy Divine Grace dawn into my Brothers and Sisters, my fellow-beings and the Being of the "OTHER WORLD" lifting them in the path of DIVINITY. I sit in this Universal Prayer for 10- 15 minutes, each night and pray for the welfare and evolution of humanity and that of the other divine beings.

The above practice are the the techniques of Sahaj-Marg, SHRI RAMCHANDRA MISSION, Chennai.
