Learn more in the regular discussions: \n\nVIDYAS – SUBJECTIVE MEDITATION: Vidyas are Vedantic meditation techniques leading to the knowledge of ultimate reality.  e.g. Dahara Vidya -Imagine a lotus in your heart and think of an empty space within the lotus. There is another space within this space; we are asked to imagine further that everything is contained in it.

Worship of Stone Symbols: Vishnu\, Shiva\, Buddha etc\, helping to focus and concentrate the mind as we reflect on these ancient icons of strength and peace. Meditation on Natural Objects: The vast ocean\, the snow-capped majesty of the Himalayas – scenes of natural grandeur take us beyond our limited everyday world.
