Internal movie- posture, light, sound and love

breathe
Chant mantra (any set of words)
Combine the breath with the sound of mantra
Feel the subtle nerve channel under your right eye, running down the cheek to the jawbone.
Relax the cheek bone and jaw.
The nerve runs behind the right ear and down the neck, so relax it by breathing in to that area.
Listen to loud sounds, then slowly lower the sound while the listening becomes better.
Get absorbed in the sound
Lower sounds are felt in the body and head
Midrange sounds are more resonant
Higher sounds make you see sparkling, luminescent light
Become the sound

You may feel a tingling on the soft palate.
Stop chanting loud but continue internal chant to go with the breath
Visualise the breath moving through your body
Change your mood to peaceful and relaxed
If tired, take energising breath and visualise each breath giving you energy and motivation to continue

SEE
Watch the light and dark within the body
Is there any movement? Is it circular, vertical or horizontal?
Keep watching the light. Is the light and shade changing?
Note the gradation between light and darkness
Watch the luminescence and dullness
Are there any colours you can see?
Which part of the body are you focused on?


FEEL the love coming from the light
Move into the light
Become the light

I recall my father was meditating in the middle of the day. I must have disturbed him by walking into that room. He gently opened his eyes. He has an unusual smile on his face as if he was in bliss. 'God is light' he said to me in a very convinced voice. That moment he puzzled me as I had never thought of God as light until then. I stopped and waited for him to explain further but he was too satisfied from his meditation experience and did not want to utter another word. It felt like time around him had stood still. I understood, I was not to disturb his bliss in solitude

India and racism

India and discrmibation go hand in hand. Most western only see India as a spiritual country that gave yoga and non-violence movement to the world. They don't understand the history of discrimination in  this religious country. It starts with Manu, a scholar whose writing date back to some date in BC that women should be treated like one's animal. You must keep them in control and if they don't follow what they are told, they should be bashed. Even though most people have never read it, this philosophy is well practiced in daily life by many. (When a victim of domestic violence tries to leave her husband, the new trend is to throw bleach on her face and body, so she looks so ugly that nobody goes near her.) The detailed article and discussion on manusmriti can be read here. The discussion by people will reveal that it is believed that original manusmriti respected women, but later someone added verses to benefit the masculine world and the women whose husband died starting suffering at the hands of other men.
With Sidhartha's enlightenment came Buddhist religion. When Buddhism starting rising, Hindus starting killing them. Buddhism has much the same values as Hinduism except the idol worship. It was shunned from India and it flourished in the neighbouring countries more. Same is now happening with Sikhs. They are being targeted because of their religion, the very religion that came as a response to eradicate the corrupt practices in Hinduism.

The original Hindu religion believed in caste based on one's occupation and many members of the same family belonged to different castes but this system changed overtime and it became a persons identity and a determinant of one's status in the society. Hindus have forgotten this but their Vedas reveal this fact. Hindu society marries within their caste based on the family they are born into. This is much like the royals of England marrying other royals system to keep expanding one's wealth and rule. This led to wealthy became wealthier through family ties and that's how marriage became a financial enrichment affair instead of a matter of heart.
Nanak became frustrated with the society where common people were dying of hunger due to a famine that destroyed their crops (shortage of Food) while the Muslim ruler had his stores filled with the grains they needed. Nanak was the store keeper. He didn't like the difference of haves and have nots. He recited Tera Tera, meaning everything is yours divine and kept filling everyone's containers when another employee complained about Nanaks actions and pointed out that he is giving a lot more for their buck. When the stocktake was done, it all balanced, much to the surprise of the complainant but this didn't satisfy Nanak. He gave his resignation and walked out on the society's unjust division. He was 33 years old at the time. He went missing for three days. On the third day, the search party found Nanak coming out of the river and the first words he spoke were 'nobody is Hindu and nobody is Muslim'. Nanak had declared that humans should be treated as humans and not identified by their religion, sex or caste. He then became the founder of Sikh religion stood against inequalities and injustices. He spoke in favour of women's rights and against religious exploitation. He advocated that every capable person should contribute to the society and earn an honest living out of which to give to the needy but not seek welfare because one is immersed in  religious practices, like in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Time and time again Sikhs stood to protect Hindu's but time and time again the Hindu governments have fuelled campaigns to exterminate Sikhs, a minority religion; so India could become a predominantly Hindu country. It's only problem is that there are too many Muslims in the country as well. A handful of Christians that are in the country are also persicuted.
