How I got into Meditation?

During my childhood (as far as I remember) I had an interest in other dimension (GOD). I use to believe that there is something beyond our understanding that is taking care of all of us. May be it started with few instances of intuition coming true.

Later on, I started reading spiritual books of Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Saibaba and Avadhutas in addition to Bhagavadgita, Bible & Quran. Attended discourses from eminent spiritual gurus. Did not understand fully, but my thinking of the other dimensions has strengthened.

During my college days I was staying next to Satya Sai Baba Ashram and had a chance to read a lot of books on spirituality and got in touch with a lot of spiritual persons. Had this strong desire to know how can we get in touch with other dimensions and get clarification to all my queries. I was staying in a temple complex with my classmate. During this period, had intuitions such as seeing the accidents before they happened and miraculously escaping one. Made my belief more stronger. Started reading more and more books which I could get hands on (books were costly for my status those days). Also kept spending more & more time with spiritually inclined people & even tried interacting with spirits (was cautioned and stopped by my spiritual friends).

After finishing college, for next few years’ worst things happened in my life. It was like pressing a reset button on your computer. Fortunately, GOD helped me to take this as an opportunity to upgrade my spiritual & computer knowledge. Thanks to a lot of friends and colleagues who helped me with their moral/knowledge support.

I started experimenting with Astrology thinking that there should be a way the astrologers get in touch with this Supreme Energy and find out what happens in future. But did not go far deeper after finding that it is more to do with the movement of planets. Read a lot of books on meditation and kundalini but was scared to experiment deeper without a guru (more on this soon…..). In the quest of  Supreme Energy went to Sabarimala after an intense mandala. Unknowingly my intuition was at its peak during this period. Had dreams about the accident at Sabarimala and how I was saved miraculously without a single scratch. Dreams about my would-be life partner (my wife) and a lot more things. Most of the things that I remember came true. The accident at Sabarimala (1999) had a greatest impact on the way I perceived life as I was coordinating to bring back the bodies of devotees to their homes (Andhra Pradesh). The dream about my wife was another surprise as the evidence physically on ground lasted only till we visited that place & witnessed it together after our marriage (where we use to spend a lot of time in my dreams) . And many more dreams and sense of negative energies in some places were regular experiences.

Attended spiritual courses of Isha at Delhi. Touched upon Maitribodh Parivar & Pyramid Meditaion (PSSM). This opened up few more angles of understanding about touching the other dimensions.  As Oogway in KungFu Panda movie says “There are no accidents”. I believe that GOD will keep arranging the things in such a way that we reach our intended goal like a parent who clears the obstacles on the way of a running infant.

All this accumulated over a period of time, made me believe strongly that there are other dimensions that we have not even touched upon and many of them we are not even aware of. It is like an ant thinking its world is the biggest and the best and nothing else exists.

Start Meditating. You will see & experience things changing in you and around you.

More …soon…..
