    Sir,

    Whether Vipassana is a Commercial technique or not, you have to to a nearby Vipassana centre and see yourself.

    @Gauri03

    Time is at a premium at any age. Setting aside ten days of your life, for learning Vipassana will never make you regret.

    Guys,
    I am logging in after a long gap. Surprised to see this thread, being forgotten ! Has anyone of you were able to attend a ten days course of Vipassana? This is what we were talking about, when this thread was active.

    Human being is similar to cosmic dance we see in the nature. The planets are moving at a high speed around the Sun and there are billions of stars and systems that flawlessly function combining the matter and energy. Gravity, Matters that exist in each planet and energy that would reach these planets are all perfect for these planets to continue with a proper mix of matter and energy.

    The human body consist of all five elements that exist such as Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether and in fact, in the same proportion inside of us as we see outside. Body is like the planet and it is the nature that self-regulates conditions in the planet. Therefore, it is imperative for the human beings to regulate their senses that sustains the body (Yantra) with right food in proper mix of nutrition, inhalation of air in a proper manner, flexibility that we maintain through Yoga and other physical exercises, automatically maintains the body in tune with the nature outside. Everything should be done in moderation. We have to ensure this instrument is not abused through bad habits, excessive consumption of alchohol, tobacco products and other chemical substances. Technically, it is possible for us to correct health issues through a disciplined approach of taking things in the nature than taking English medicines.

    The learned people said proper study of mankind is man. One can never research mankind without understanding how the mind works. Research of mind has been going on for years but the ancient wisdom has defined a systematic approach to regulate the mind (also called Mantra=Manas+Tools). How this tool is regulated determines the quality of life. Thought energy that is created by human beings have a profound impact in the entire planet as a whole. By regulating the mind, one is contributing to the well being of the entire planet including plants and animals. The Human beings are gifted with a discrimination faculty and the power to reach the full potential of the Truth and it is the mankind that should be the beacon for the planet. Manas is a cauldron of thoughts that are emanating from the consequences of the past action that are encrypted life after life. Since man has the potential to discriminate, he should take responsibility for all of his past actions and face the consequences. In fact, it is the pure consciousness that encounters all of the human experiences and it is the duty of the mankind to liberate the consciousness through spiritual practices such as Yoga, Meditation, embedded right living values, etc. One should develop one-pointed concentration which is essential for Truth finding.

    Lastly, the one that links both Yantra and Mantra is Tantra meaning expand or weave or loom or warp (Heart). It is not the physical heart one posseses that beats in average 72 times in a minute. This is the spiritual consciousness that exist within the human body. In fact, it exists in every cell in the human body. This is the part that links the Yantra and Mantra and could become a guide for right living. This is the instrument of love that could spread the happiness to every being in the planet. This can expand in an unlimited fashion or can spray like a spring water when it disciplines the body and mind to effectively develop service and sacrifice. This instrument works constantly to unite all the beings forever and in fact, this is the one that tries to put the body and mind to auto correct when it drifts from the righteousness.
