Light Meditation - 31 May 2004

My humble pranams at the Divine Lotus Feet of Swami.

Sai Ram uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters. I am Bro Devesh from Group 4. My topic for today is ‘Light Meditation’?

I am sure that many of you are aware of light meditation. But what is light meditation? Firstly, we must all be aware that light meditation is a method strongly recommended by Swami. It promotes inner peace of mind and makes us more aware of our inner self, which is the Atma.

Why practice light meditation you may ask? It has been proven that It improves your memory power and reflex ability. It enables one to be compassionate, understanding and responsible whilst remaining free from worry, fear, anger and other disturbing influences.

From my personal experience, light meditation is very beneficial. It has helped me especially when I have a load of things to remember for my examinations. I now do light meditation more frequently thanks to the advice of my gurus.

How do I practice light meditation? Many of you are familiar with the technique from our weekly meditation after bhajans. But how many of us actually practice on a daily basis? Swami’s 1st Code of Conduct is ‘Daily Meditation & Prayer’.

It is very hard to persuade everyone to do light meditation, and especially difficult for youths (coming from personal experience). One technique for you to have a kick-start is to try and do it at least once a week in the beginning. With your effort and Swami’s Grace, you will slowly increase it to 2,3,4,5 times a week until you do it daily.

Finally I would like to share with you a quote from Swami on light meditation. “Since the light illumines the senses everyday so deeply and systematically, a time will come when you will no more relish dark and evil sights, crave for harmful food or dink, or approach places of ill fame and injury. For Light is God and God is Light
Thank you.

Jai Sai Ram
