There is so much conflicting advice about diet and nutrition, who can blame us when we throw in the towel and eat pizza? You may hear much conflicting advice and confusing information, but actually, hidden away among the self-serving propaganda of a lot of the food industry – and even the nutritional supplement industry – there are very clear guidelines for healthy eating.

Yoga and Meditation

Meditation is central to the spiritual endeavor in many schools of Hinduism, notably the Yoga tradition. The Bhagavad-Gita ranks meditation above intellectual knowledge, and the Garuda-Purana states: “Meditation is the highest virtue. Meditation is the foremost austerity. Meditation is the greatest purity. Therefore be fond of meditation.” This exhortation expresses a sentiment that is widespread in the sacred literature of Hinduism.
However, meditation is by no means universally regarded as the principal means of attaining Self realization. For instance, the Bhagavad-Gita states that some behold the Self by means of meditation, while others approach it through samkhya-yoga and karma-yoga. Here samkhya-yoga stands for the spiritual practice of discernment between the real and the unreal, and karma-yoga is the practice of dispassionate action. In the Trika school of Kashmir, the yogin is given alternatives to meditation like mantric recitation, observing vows, and ritual sacrifice.
The Sanskrit word dhyana, derived from the verbal root “to contemplate, meditate, think”, is the most common designation both for the meditative state of consciousness and the yogic techniques by which it is induced. The Vedanta tradition also employs the terms nididhyasana, which stems from the same verbal root, literally dwelling upon, and bhavana literally cultivating. The term dhyana is widely used to refer to the contemplative process that prepares the ground for the ecstatic state, though occasionally the term is also employed to signify that superlative state of consciousness.
