I am a veiled Muslim who practices Transcendental Meditation



"I am a veiled Muslim who practices Transcendental Meditation (TM) and I cannot ever forget the first time I prayed after my first meditation. I learned the TM technique in December of 2006: I was speechless and cannot explain this state of complete serenity, contentment and gratitude for God. TM increased my level of acceptance and appreciation for my faith and strengthened my beliefs.

"For example, reading from the Qur‘an is becoming more enjoyable and comforting at the same time, as now I can better link its teachings with everything around me: my level of comprehension of its meanings are increasing on a daily basis. It is clear to me that the more I practice TM and the TM-Sidhi programs, (the TM—Sidhi program is a set of advanced techniques based upon TM), the more deeply I realize different aspects of my religion and my mission in life.

"Throughout my life I've been asking myself lots of questions about creation and the purpose of life but now my humble insights were confirmed, as I've always had a strong belief that everything is happening for a reason. I have found that it is easier to have faith in how life unfolds through God's wisdom if I am feeling more secure and at peace within my self. Even if I may not fully understand, on an intellectual level, what is happening, my growing inner peace allows me to feel more at ease with handling any situations that life puts in my path.

"It is clear to me that my daily practice of TM and the advanced TM-Sidhi programs has opened my eyes and heart to greater knowledge and experience. Because of this expansion of heart and mind I've discovered that I spontaneously act in a more positive and uplifting way to others, with more love, forgiveness and compassion, which is exactly what my religion and beliefs are all about. I'm enjoying feeling more in harmony with God's creation and desiring to help society in every way I can.

"After I practice meditation, I feel more flexible, more alert, and have a greater ability to concentrate on my work and can think more clearly and creatively. Also, when I perform my religious practices the whole experience becomes deeper and more spiritual.

"Finally, I would say that even though TM and the TM—Sidhi programs are not a religion and do not require any change in one‘s personal beliefs or practices, they very well compliment religion because they help to eliminate mental, emotional and physical stresses and tensions. From my own experience I can say that the dissolving of stresses and tensions purifies and strengthens the body, heart and mind and results in a greater ability to live one‘s life in harmony with the highest goals of religious life."

    The first step for learning TM is an introductory lecture given by a certified instructor where he outlines the procedure for learning, usually over 3-4 days for 1-2 hours each time. TM instruction is the same all over the world by TM instructors who qualify in months/years of training. However, learning TM is a simple effortless process where the instructor guides you through the process easily. TM can't be learned from a web site of book, only by direct instruction by the qualified instructor. There are TM Centres all over the world including many muslim countries. Do an online search locally for 'Transcendental Meditation' for your nearest Centre. Go here [http://www.worldpeacesolutions.net/where-to-learn-tm-around-the-world-affiliated-sites/] for a listing of Centres around the world. If your location is not listed leave me a message on the site and I'll get you the closest Centre.

Maharishi talks on Soma, mid 1970s

Soma, It’s Effects and How It’s Produced At MIU with Keith Wallace in the mid 70s, he played for his biology students every tape he had of Maharishi talking about Soma - the finest product of digestion.   Here is a transcript of one of those tapes: Maharishi : It’s very easy to understand about soma, hmm? A sickly nervous system does not produce that material from what we eat or drink, which will maintain the body for long time. An ineffective nervous system, inefficient, sick nervous system, the digestive ability is very much less, and therefore, whatever the system digests, is not good enough to make the body strong. When the health is more normal, then the digestive system produces more agreeable product from what we eat. If the nervous system is very normal, very, very normal, then the digestive system will be able to digest the whole value of what we eat. Whole food will be completely digested. That means, the finest of the relative particle will be so modified in t

The twelve Jyotirlingas of India ­­– Seats of Silence for the World

Image
A Jyotirlingam ( Sanskrit : ज्योतिरिनगम  ) is a focal point, or seat, of silence, and represents the great deity Shiva , the embodiment of silence. Jyoti means 'radiance' and lingam the 'mark or sign' of Shiva, or a symbol of the pineal gland ; Jyotir Lingam thus means the The Radiant sign of The Almighty . There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India . It is believed that Lord Shiva first manifested himself as a Jyotirlinga on the night of the Ardra Nakshatra . It is assumed that a person who reaches a higher level of spiritual attainment can see these lingas as columns of fire piercing through the earth. Vedic Literature on Jyotirlingas According to Śiva Mahāpurāṇa , once Brahma and Vishnu had an argument over their relative supremacy. To test them, Shiva pierced the three worlds as a huge endless pillar of light, the jyotirlinga . Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in eithe

Victory according to Guru Dev (Swami Brahmananda Saraswati)

Image
Unconfirmed quote of Guru Dev September 1945 It is said that in September 1945, when the Second World War was over, newspaper reporters wanted to know the reaction of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath (Guru Dev). Allegedly he gave them the following statement, parts of which match other published quotations of Guru Dev... “Real victory is that, after which there can never be a reverse. Nobody can call himself a victor forever merely by crushing an external foe, because such foes can spring up again. A real victory is achieved by bringing under control the internal foes. A check over the internal enemies is therefore the only way of conquering the external enemies forever, because we should bear in mind that it is our own internal enemies which create the external enemies. These inner enemies are ambition, anger, greed, false attachment, vanity and jealousy. It is this hexagon sitting inside us which makes a cat's paw (duping)
