“Learning Vedic Meditation with Anna was the best decision I ever made.”

– John K.

It is possible for everyone to go deep within and saturate his conscious mind with inner happiness, with the unlimited energy and intelligence that dwells at the source of thought.

The principle of this meditation is simple.

Being is bliss in its nature; it’s infinite happiness. Mind is always moving in the direction of greater happiness. And because the nature of inner being is bliss, infinite happiness, therefore the mind during this meditation takes that inward course in a most spontaneous manner.

In this meditation we do not concentrate or control the mind.

We let the mind follow its natural instinct towards greater happiness, and it goes within and gains bliss consciousness in Being.

The technique is, we take a specific thought which suits us, which is called the mantra, or a suitable sound for us, which we receive from the trained teacher.

The teacher gives a suitable word, and the meditator experiences the thought of that sound, and starts minimizing that thought to experience the finer state of that thought, until the source of thought is fathomed and the conscious mind reaches the transcendental area of Being. So from gross thought to the subtle state of thought, to the subtler to the subtlest state of thought, this is the path of meditation, until the conscious mind reaches bliss consciousness, or transcendental consciousness, or pure consciousness, or the state of Being.

Here in the state of Being, the mind becomes soaked with energy, intelligence, and great happiness. With it, it comes out and performs and experiences the world much better than before.

–Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 1968
