Until such time one finds a suitable Guru the safest way is to chant Hari Naama ceaselessly.

Nama Article 28th May 2013

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

In the name of meditation if one just stares vacantly into space, fixes the vision on a mirror or concentrates on a black dot/electric lamp the mind gets self-hypnotised. One should learn meditation directly from the Guru and adhere to His instructions strictly without any compromise. Until such time one finds a suitable Guru the safest way is to chant Hari Naama ceaselessly.

We may question, 'why can't I meditate on the clock on the wall or on the black dot on the wall?' Sound has power

 

By Chanting and listening to Divine names of the Lord various unwanted thoughts that arise and disturb our mind are erased out and new ones do not crop up.
