LEARNING TO MASTER YOUR MIND AND LIVE FROM YOUR HEART…..
written on Tuesday, 4 Aug 2015 by YogaCoach
In 2014, I spent some special time with Swami Parmanand Maharaj. We spoke about the science of meditation, and using yoga as a vehicle to loving Atma, or ‘our souls’.
As we prepare for our very special retreat this October, A ‘journey to higher consciousness’ with spiritual master, Babaji (Vishwatmak Janglidas Maharaj Om Gurudev), myself and Swami Parmanand, I wanted to share some of the wisdom from that talk with you.

Swami Parmamand on meditation -
Yoga is the science of meditation and meditation is the practice of loving Atma. Atma is the soul. Atma means soul. Atma means our inner, divine energy. It’s the unconditional love. It is the birth of peace. It is the birth of love. It is the birth of silence. It is the birth of harmony, and this supreme energy which we call here Atma, many people call soul. So it resides in our heart, and because of that energy, because of that Atma, because of that soul, our body is alive. The reason we stay alive in this life – that is none other than Atma.
So, this energy we said resides in our heart. To realise this energy, and to get the experience of this energy, there is only one way, and that’s called meditation. Meditation means “the art of living on soul; the art of living on Atma.” So, Atma is formless, but we need to concentrate on the Atma and there is some meditation; so, yoga or exercise or whatever things that we do for this is called meditation. It is very important for this concentration, because through the yoga… and the exercise, the body becomes tired, and the elements are, which disturbing to you through the thought and you attitudes – they are becoming tired and easily, you can concentrate on Atma in your heart, and also the other site, it scientifically, the body… We say; the body is the temple of God.
God is the Atma. So, the body is not immortal, Atma is immortal, but now, the body is important because of this Atma. The body is alive, and because of this body, we can now know this Atma.
Swami Parmanand on Asana –
It is important for us to have Asana, or surya namaskars or any exercise that you do.
Everywhere, all the… our Sadhguru, Om Gurudev Janglidas Maharaj also, is constantly doing every day, yoga and some exercises. All the saints who reached there, all the Swamis, who reached there, all the incarnation who came on this earth can give on the message of Atma, and finally, they’ll become one with Atma, and now we… all of our offering as a goal to them, they all went by same way. Everybody has the same path and everybody bend also in the same way.
So, yoga is most important. It is connected with your inner energy. It is also a way to wake up your energy. So, it is the most important thing which we have to do before meditation, and that is the yoga and exercise.
