Sheetal from India asked:
What is method for meditation, I mean whether it should be abstract or on any deity or on any person (Guru) or chanting mantra etc.? What ie method for fasting and duration?
Both of these questions are of common interest and will be answered in two different chapters.
There are many methods of meditation that are widely spread all over the World. Some of the important points to consider when selecting your method is described in the chapter mentioned below.
For all those practicing Kriya Yoga, Kriya Pranayama will in its advanced stage lead directly into meditation. For beginners there is another Method used for all the years until they are proficient in Kriya Pranayama. This method is described in the chapter
For fasting same applies. Many methods have been created. Some are only applicable under the direct supervision of a medical doctor because they may lead to serious health problems. Some others are safe and can be practiced alone.
