Despite its popularity and panoptic appeal, meditation is still a widely misunderstood subject. Nepal is full of places that allow people to explore various meditation techniques and delve into the philosophies that underlie them.

Here we have covered three such places that may inspire you to take meditation more seriously and bring you closer to people with similar interests.

Dharma Shringa Vipassana Meditation Center

Located about nine km north of the Ring Road intersection at Narayan Gopal Chowk, this meditation center sprawls on a slope of Shivapuri Hill at an altitude of 5,200 feet. A black-topped road runs from Budhanilakantha right up to the centers gate, so getting to the place is no problem. This center is next door to the Shivapuri National Parks entrance gate at Pani Muhan.

Although the center looks almost like a continuation of the Shivapuri National Park, the difference becomes starkly clear when one sees how the parks wilderness gives way to a beautifully landscaped facility that resembles a well-maintained resort. Inside, an explosion of colourful flowers greet visitors, and the well-maintained greenery along the stairs and pathways that crisscrosses the facility adds to the serenity of the place.

The entire setting makes visitors feel at home immediately and settles them down for lengthy residential retreats. The center runs a ten-day beginners course for meditators and several other long and short-term courses for those who have mastered the basic techniques. There are several meditation halls and residential quarters, and a large stupa that houses several isolated meditation cells. The main meditation hall can seat up to 250 people at a time and the stupa has 84 individual meditation cells.

Vipassana meditation has three phases: Anapana, Vipassana and Metta.During Anapana, the natural flow of breath is observed to improve concentration. During Vipassana phase, body sensations like heat, cold, itching, prickling, tickling, pain are observed. Metta, the last phase, emphasises praying for all with a pure mind and body.The whole technique hinges on the central idea that our reactions to stimuli, from outside or within us, is pointless because everything is anicchha or impermanent. Knowing this by experience through the practice of meditation bolsters equanimity and sets the meditator on the path of liberation.

Shivapuri Baba Ashram

This ashram is dedicated to a little-known, yet highly revered, Hindu ascetic, Shivapuri Baba. (He was named after the Shivapuri Hill, where he lived for years in a hut before moving down the Valley floor). As per various claims, he lived until the age of 130 or 140, and left the body willingly in full consciousness in 1962. The ashram is sequestered in the Dhrubasthali forest, an extension of the Mrigasthali forest on the hillock east of the Pashupatinath Temple.

Although accessible after a short walk across the road from the Tilganga Eye Hospital and a short climb up a forested knoll, the ashram is hidden from sight. The forest you need to pass through to reach the ashram is dense enough to make you feel uneasy if you are hiking alone, but in a group you feel absolutely no fear and the greenery, and hillocks all around you make the place look like an ideal picnic spot.

It is quite likely that the moment you step into the clearing where the one-story, hut-shaped ashram stands, your everyday self will melt away and silence itself into a seeker. Even the most restless souls wouldnt mind spending some time in meditation after reaching the ashram. For serious meditators and I have heard this from many of them the spiritual pull is unmistakable there.

One of the things you have to bear in mind while going to the ashram is that a huge population of monkeys hangs around the place. They wont pay you any attention if you let them be and it is best not to carry any edible item openly.Although Shivapuri Baba made no effort to establish a cult or commune, he emphasised on maintaining physical, mental and spiritual discipline through right living for the realisation of the higher self.

The ashram is open to all and it is the right place for anyone one who wants to spend their morning or daytime in quiet contemplation. Visitors are not permitted into the premises of the ashram after 6 PM.

Yogoda Satsanga Meditation Society, Kupandole

Despite busy roads and dense settlements all around, this place is surprisingly peaceful. Located behind Gurudwara, the Sikh shrine in Kupandole, the center was established by the disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda to practice and propagate the teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga.

The Kriya Yoga system combines several stages of pranayama, mantra (chantings), and mudra (asanas) to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and engender a profound state of tranquility and what the practitioners call the ultimate state of God-communion. Rediscovered and passed on by latter-day sadhus since the mid-19th century, the concept is said to resemble the Raja Yoga of Patanjali and is mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita.

Although the centre is built on a small piece of land, space has been utilised beautifully to augment spiritual grandeur. The centres gate opens to a cemented path lined with trees and plants. Inside, a small patch of neatly trimmed lush grass and more trees and plants contribute to the tranquility of the place.

The two-storey building that houses the Society features large, spacious halls on both floors. The ground floor is a sort of administrative unit where one can get all the information about the Society, such as the process to become a member, meditation courses, and special events. You can also buy books and read newsletters on yoga and meditation.

The meditation hall on the floor above is an airy, light-filled spacious room with pictures of Lord Krishna, Jesus Christ and other saints, including Paramahansa and his gurus, adorning the front wall. The pictures, soothing fragrance and intermittent sounds of chirping birds blend beautifully to create an atmosphere ideal for meditation.

Although the centre is open every day, more experienced meditators make it a point to gather on Thursdays and Saturdays for special sessions. From time to time Kriya Yoga masters from Ranchi, India lead meditation sessions at the centre.

MEERUT: The Allahabad high court on Tuesday sought the responses of UP government and Meerut Nagar Nigam on a writ petition seeking removal of several garbage mounds from near an ashram housing over 100 leprosy patients. The court asked the civic body and the petitioner to file counter affidavits by July 25.

Shri Vivekanand Kusth Ashram, located on Delhi Road outside the city limits, was built in 1947. In all, 105 leprosy patients live in the ashram.

Over the years, Nagar Nigam used the vicinity of the ashram as dumping ground for city waste. Now, the ashram is surrounded by multiple mounds of garbage that pose health hazard to the patients in the ashram.

Besides, the link road leading to the ashram is also full of potholes.

According to Bairagi, secretary of the ashram, multiple applications and petitions were sent to Nagar Nigam in the past six years, but no action was taken by the civic authority.

They have been asked to file a short counter affidavit by July 25. The judges said there can be no compromise on the health of the leper home patients."

Ujjain: Grand congregation of devotees begins at Jaigurudev ashram - Free Press Journal

16 hours ago.

Sreehari, the 54-year-old self-proclaimed godman, whose genitals were almost severed by a 23-year-old woman whom he had allegedly been sexually exploiting for years, has political ambitions and has flaunted his association with Keralas respected Panmana Ashram, as well as the leader of the state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Both have now disowned him. While the ashram said that it never had anything to do with Sreehari, the BJP leader said that the man had no connection with the party or the National Democratic Alliance.

Sreehari, alias Hareesh, is popularly known as Bullet Swamy in his home town of Kolenchery, 25 km west of Kochi, as he was often seen riding an Enfield Bullet while dressed in his saffron robes.

Sreehari associated himself with the Panmana Ashram, which was built in memory of the Hindu sage and social reformer Sree Chattampi Swamy. At some point, he changed his name to Gangesananda Theerthapadar, which indicated that he held an important position at the ashram. According to custom at the Panmana Ashram, holy men take on the Theerthapadar title only after being ordained by the head of the Vazhoor Theertha Pada Ashram, which was established by a disciple of Chattampi Swamy.

A Panmana Ashram official, however, clarified that Sreehari had not been conferred with the title of Theerthapadar. He has been deceiving the people with the title which he never got, said AR Gireesh Kumar, president of the ashram.

In 2009, Sreeharis attempts to become a public figure got a shot in the arm when he led an agitation to build a memorial for Chattampi Swamy on a piece of land bought by the Additional Director General of Police (South Zone) B Sandhya. The agitators claimed that it was the birthplace of Chattampi Swamy. However, the Panmana Ashram had denounced the agitation at that time.

During the protest, Sreehari had assaulted a police officer, but he evaded the law thanks to his influence in the administration. He is said to have escaped action after a top official personally intervened to stop him from being produced in court.

The agitation brought Sreehari into the limelight and helped him make good contacts with the Hindu Aikya Vedi, a Sangh Parivar outfit, whose former president Kummanam Rajashekharan now heads the state unit of the Bhartiya Janata Party.

In 2013, Sreehari participated in a BJP-led agitation against the Aranmula Airport Project. He was later appointed the convenor of a meeting of a group of sanyasis that was organised as part of the protest. Rajashekharan included Sreehari in a delegation of sanyasis to request VS Achuthanandan, then the chief minister, to drop the states proposed plan to take charge of 104 temples in North Kerala.

After news of Sreeharis attempted castration emerged on Saturday, Rajashekharan disowned the man. I know Hareesh [Sreehari], but he has no connection with the BJP or NDA, he said. Rajashekharan also demanded that strong action should be taken against Sreehari if he was found guilty of sexually abusing the young woman.

The Hindu Aikya Vedi too said that Sreehari was never a member of the outfit. He might have participated in the agitation against the Aranmula Airport Project, but he never took a membership in our organisation, said KN Raveendranadh, patron and former working president of the saffron outfit.

The Panmana Ashram president, AR Gireesh Kumar, said that the ashram did not ordain people and make them ascetics. We conduct classes on the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Ayurveda, said Kumar. Anyone can attend these sessions, but no one can become an ascetic by just attending the learning programme.

Kumar said that he remembered Sreehari from 2002, when he used to visit the ashram regularly for a period of about two years. He said that Sreehari spent most of his time in the kitchen. He was a good cook, said Kumar. He left the place as he wanted to set up a restaurant business in Kochi. I have not heard from him after that.

Sreehari had studied in different educational institutions in Kolenchery until his graduation. One of his classmates remembered him as a quiet person.

I was shocked when heard about his sexual exploits,said Congress leader NN Rajan, who is the block panchayat member from Vaduvankode in Ernakulam district. We studied at a private college in Kolenchery for a pre-degree [equivalent to Class 12] course, he said.

Rajan said that Sreehari joined the Central Industrial Security Force after completing his graduation from St Peters College in Kolenchery We hardly met after he got a job, he said.

On Saturday, after his genitals were almost severed, Sreehari tried to evade the law when he told the police that he had done so himself, as penance. However, the woman he has allegedly been exploiting for the past eight years called out his lies.

A report in the Indian Express quoted a social activist who visited the girl as saying: She said she did not want to be another rape victim. She wanted the rapist to suffer throughout his life.

A scene at a goshala-cum-fodder camp; volunteers registering the farmers at the camp | Express

TUMAKURU: Villagers of Pavagada, an arid region in Tumakuru district, have faced drought over 50 times in the last six decades. Every time drought hits the region, farmers are left to fend for themselves with little support from the government. With them their cattle too suffer, either left to die or sold at throwaway prices in nearby villages due to lack of fodder. But one man's vision has alleviated that suffering to a great extent.

Swami Japananda and his fodder camps have ensured that cattle and humans dont stay hungry. Veerabhadrappa will vouch for this. During last year's drought, the debt-burdened farmer was staring at crop loss. The worry was how to feed his family of four and provide fodder for his 60 sheep.

"By doing menial jobs and taking more money on loan, I could somehow feed my family. But providing fodder to 60 sheep under such circumstances was impossible. Letting them die or selling them for almost free were the only two options available," says Veerabhadrappa.

So he decided to contact Sri Ramakrishna Sevashrama at Pavagada, where he could get fodder for free. "Without wasting a day, I rushed to meet the chairman Swami Japananda, and he obliged me with both fodder and words of consolation. He assured me of support until the next rain and my joy knew no bounds," says the farmer, adding had the Swamiji not supported them in those tough times, their cattle would have died.

The Sevashrama has been organising two-month long fodder camps for the needy farmers for the past three years. "This year, we started soon due to the early onslaught of drought," says the chairman.

At the ashram, fodder is procured from Kumbakonam and Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu and Vijayawada and Anantpur of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The jowar comes from Ballari. Over 1,500 farming families in Pavagada and their cattle have survived the severe drought, courtesy this ashram.

"Forget about poor, even landlords with over 100 desi cows too got support from the ashram," points out councillor Vasantha Kumar.

Abuzz with activities

The ashram remains flooded with farmers and abuzz with activity during the fodder camps. On a dry Saturday when Express visited the ashram, Ramanaika (65) was seen loading hay on his bullock cart. Braving the scorching sun and playing the second fiddle were his wife and schoolgoing grandson and grand daughter. Every alternate day, he carries a load to Chinnappaiahna thanda hamlet to distribute it among six of his relatives.

For Chalapathi Siddagangamma couple, their moped is enough to carry the 15 kgs of hay. Residents in the vicinity have brought their cattle to feed hay. Availability of water is an added advantage here. Kanivenahalli Govindappa is all set to take away 5 kg of jowar meant for the sheep. "We also consume the same as food", he quips.

While the fodder comes free of cost, farmers only pay Rs 50 initially for the registration charge. They get a card in return, which they can use to procure fodder.

When the government gets impressed

It was during this time in 1985, Swami Japananda was sent to Pavagada as a volunteer to look after the gruel centres (ganji kendra) by Ramakrishna Ashram in Bengaluru. The initiative was supported by the then Ramakrishna Hegde-led government.

I wanted to volunteer at Kalaburagi, but Hedge insisted that I should go to Pavagada. Seeing the plight of the people here, I chose to stay back to serve, says the Swamiji while going down the memory lane. He started to run Swami Vivekananda Integrated Rural Health Centre and his good works soon drew the attention of the government. He was given the responsibility of implementing the National Leprosy Eradication Programme in 1992.

At this ashram in Karnataka, no drought of empathy for man or animal - The New Indian Express

Though she ultimately spent more time as his widow than as his wife, Alice McLeods marriage to John Coltrane was destined, as though by cosmic influence, to change both artists musical and spiritual paths. The two met in 1963; they had three children in rapid succession, John wrote his opus A Love Supreme in 1965, and by 1967, he had passed away due to liver cancer, leaving Alice to suffer insomnia, hallucinations, and rapid weight loss. Seeking strength from esteemed guru Swami Satchidananda, she bore the Coltrane legacy as an incomparable harpist, pianist and composer across 13 transcendent solo releases, but it was another name she adopted Turiyasangitananda, Sanskrit for Highest Song Of God that would define her work more clearly as a spiritual pursuit, created away from secular life on an ashram she established in the Santa Monica Mountains. With the recent release of World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music Of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, David Byrnes world music imprint Luaka Bop seeks to illuminate that history and a Red Bull Music Academy presentation of the work this weekend brings it to New York audiences.

The music director of the first part of RBMAs event, Surya Botofasina, refers to Alice Coltrane simply and respectfully as Swamini, his spiritual grandmother. Raised on Coltranes Shanti Anantam Ashram, Botofasina followed in Coltranes musical footsteps by studying the piano, and is slated to lead the ashram singers in a series of bhajans collected on World Spirituality Classics 1 for the RBMA presentation at Knockdown Center in Queens. These are not solely Vedic chants; Coltranes compositions weave complex jazz modes, her roots in Motor City gospel, and Egyptian mysticism into the mix as well.

She left us this very clear roadmap of these recordings, preserved over time, says Botofasina of the bhajans, originally released on private press cassette intended only for her ashram community. This wasnt just some average musician sitting down; this was a true master at the craft. That vast, endless amount of spirituality she infused into every note, you cant fake that. So we pay homage, thats the best we can do. We do it from the heart, we do it with devotion, we do it with passion, and with joy.

Botofasina remembers pursuing music initially to make an impression on Coltrane (as well as his parents, who were also musicians), a kind of innocent yearning for attention and approval, he explains. Though he did not study piano with Coltrane directly, she spent Sundays with the young adults in the ashram, illuminating the musical components associated with the Bhagavad Gita, which Botofasina was often asked to play for his peers. Though it was easy to recognize her genius, Botofasina says he was in his teens before he felt the weight of Swaminis importance outside the ashram.

The name Coltrane isnt just a name in jazz music, he says. Its like, on Mount Rushmore.

Botofasina recalls a service that took place in his early twenties when Coltrane indicated that he should accompany her during a devotional hymn. She was calling out the chords A flat, B flat, G flat as it was going. Then at a certain point I look over for the next chord and she looked at me and said, Just play. Botofasina recalls. That really felt like a graduation.

Meanwhile, across the country, a teenager named Brandee Younger whod been studying classical harp came across Blue Nile (from Coltranes 1970 LP Ptah, The El Daoud) on a jazz compilation given to her by her father.

When I got that CD from my dad, I was like, oh, I wanna do what [Coltrane] was able to do with the harp, Younger recalls. She was unapologetic with it. She wasnt worrying about what other musicians thought of her, what other harpists thought of her, other pianists or organists. She was doing her. She was able to play this instrument on a spiritual level and speak to a sixteen year old kid.

As an undergraduate at the Hartt School of the University Of Hartford, Younger continued classical studies but sat in on jazz master classes; during this time, she wrote fan letters to Coltrane that she never sent. Growing up I was the only person of color in sight [in the harpist community], she says. [Coltrane] inspired me and helped me to feel a little more comfortable in my skin as a harpist.

Younger went on to earn a graduate degree in Music Performance and Composition at the Steinhardt School of New York University, where she was studying in 2007 when Coltrane passed away. In the wake of Coltranes death, a bittersweet opportunity presented itself, thanks to Ravi Coltrane John and Alices saxophonist son and their mutual friend Antoine Rooney.

Ravi actually called me to play this huge memorial at Saint John the Divine in New York, remembers Younger. I knew her music in my head, but I had never played it, so I was a little nervous. I maybe did a couple backflips.

Taking a note from Coltranes playbook, Younger has created her own hybridized harp style, and in 2016 released her sophomore album Wax & Wane. Younger often pays homage to Coltrane with covers and tribute shows, and will reunite with Ravi Coltrane, as well as bassist Reggie Workman and a cast of all-star musicians, to bring Coltranes solo work back to the stage in a separately-ticketed RBMA performance to directly follow the ashram singers devotional set.

Both the RBMA event and Luaka Bops re-release of Coltranes Ashram music serve to highlight her unique vision and singular talent a decade after her passing, as well as the vast reach of her continued influence. Beyond that, her amalgamated spirituality makes a compelling case for universal divinity; from the death of her husband onward, Coltranes work centered not on mortality, but on some eternal life beyond it.

Botofasina is quick to point out that no matter what ones religious beliefs, Coltrane made this music to inspire positivity in everyone. We dont own the rights for the soul of this music, he says. Im glad that others will have the opportunity to experience [it], because this music was such a positive experience for myself. Its home. Shes my family. I miss her a lot, and I know Im not alone in that. He adds, She gave our ashram family a mission, and these bhajans have continued to be chanted every week for the last 10 years and beyond. Now theres a chance for folks to participate in this positivity and deepness that we are all connected to, and for that Im very happy.

In her soaring body of work, Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda sings the highest song indeed, and lives forever in the musicians she inspired.

The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, the 14-day RSIforAshram Onlinecom Ltd.
