Using real life examples, scientific research and traditional yogic wisdom Dada demystifies the different levels of consciousness which all of us have access to.
The eight fold path or Astaunga Yoga applied in a modern context is the key to purifying the five layers and thereby enabling us to utilize more of our unlimited mental capacities.

Namaskar Dada and thank you so much for your lectures. My question might sound silly, but is there any way that I could get personal guidance by a yogi mentor given the fact that I am located in Greece? Spasiba balsoi 🙏
Thanks dadaji. Currently wher I am there is a vacuum of people like yourself. But your videos make my day.
“Formless knowledge “...this is a wonderful place to be. An combination of empty mind and inner knowing 🙏🏼💜🕉
Brilliant!!.. very nicely explained. Dada can you please make a video on how to deal with ignorant and insensitive people on daily basis without being affected by their negativity. It seems that someone else is controlling them. How to deal with such people. I can't avoid them totally because they are almost everywhere, at home, in office etc. Please explain in detail on dealing with such unconscious people without being mentally affected. Thanks and best regards,
Namaskar 🙏
Thank you for your suggestion, Austin.
🙏Namaskar Dada, I wanted to say thank you for this beautiful gift that you gave us. This precious speech represents the beauty and sincerity that you are Dada!
Thank you for your teaching. This is Vijay from India.
Thanks for your interest, Vijay!
Mind = Mann (thoughts) + Buddhi (Wisdom) + Anhakara (Ego) + Chitta (Unconscious memory) .. exploring the potential of the mind is to go beyond it. Always love your video will watch it tonight :) Namaste
Thank you, Abhi
Namaskar Dada!
Realy thanks to this vídeo . I feel real happy to know that my practices make my koshas improve. Baba bless you Always
Namaskar🙏🏻 Dada
Thank you very much for such an informative video.
And When I hear you it gives more energy to me. It's not only about the information but also about you. I feel peaceful when I here you. So thank you very very much😊
I have become lucid in a few of my dreams and it fascinates me that we can become awake in our own mind like your in another world.
Indeed, it is an interesting phenomenon. And the moment we know that what we perceive is our imagination we acquire power over that imagination.
Wow! Dada, such an inspired and inspiring video. I could witness the knowledge passing through you with such light and love, time and space suspended. Thank you for your service, Namasté
Thank you for your lectures! So much wisdom. I wish I could find someone to be initiated by like you! Namaste 🙏
Thank you Dada! very inspiring!
Namascar Dada thank you for your beautifull spiritual guide beyond

Спасибо. Всё пробуждается весной
Thank you, very informative. Right now I'm on the path and you are my Dada. I'm studying and practicing daily. I hope that one day I can come to your retreat in Siberia and gain a guru and personal mantra. Namaskar
We will be very happy to have you as our guest
After i watch this video i start to meditate with the lessons and i suddenly got the realization. Thanks dada, namaskar.
Wonderful
Awesome
Full of wisdom and inspiration
You are the best
Dada, your lessons are the best! Practical and explained, Yes, please record the lesson about how Karma works! BNK 🙏
Thank you, I will
My gratitude for this immensely help ful stepwise guidance. Was struggling with bringing about a paradigm shift in my thoughts for years. Success did make appearance once in a while but again came the relapses. Shall start to work on it rightaway.
Thank you, Madhuri. The best way to start is with the basic lesson of meditation at meditationsteps.org, and after 3-6 months it is good to receive a personal lesson of meditation as it will work on all the layers of the mind.

Thanks a lot Dada. The suggestion to use slow breathing to go deep worked great for me. I wonder how I couldn't grasp the technique on my own so far.👍

Thank you, Martha
Inspiring, infusive and comprehensive as always! :)
Thank you so much Dada ❤️ so inspiring and amazing.
Please do make the video on Karma..it seems that we constantly keep ending up in the same kind of bad situations in our lives. How should we deal with that and finally put an end to those cycles as we are not yet advanced meditation practioners. Thank you so much 💕🙏🏻
Today did the first portion, there will be two classes on the topic
Thank you so much...this talk has been very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Very enlightening n inspiring vedio
Thanks a lot
Namaskar Dada, Thank you for the beautiful explanation. Looking forward to the video on Karma and hoping to learn personal meditation from you someday
Very soon
is the symbol of Meditation Steps the 112 points Matrix or accidentally similar to it? We - LOVE MEDITATION STEPS - high quality videos very beneficial for spiritual progress! Thank you very much.
Namaskar dada. Well explained. Request you to make commentary for Sudhish of First lesson keeping blank for personal mantra. ..... a kind of guided meditation. It will help to visualise and withdraw the senses easily.
My secrecy vows would not allow me to do so. You will have to personally come in touch with an acarya to learn it.
Hello Dada, can you teach us more advanced meditation techniques some time soon?
I can, but for that, we have to meet in person. The transmission of the technique is not only intellectual, but it is also energy, and for that need an offline meeting of the teacher and student. There are many teachers of the same path around the world, and I can recommend someone near your location. It is good to prepare yourself by scoring 100 hours of meditation with the basic technique, it is good to complete the basic course of meditation also. You can get if for free at meditationsteps.org
Sir please make a video. About how budha sit for long days of meditation.. How can we sit for long days meditation
When the mind becomes calm, it becomes easy to sit, when you get concentrated, then the brain also secretes chemicals that remove the pain from the body and remove tiredness.
Dada, very inspirational and thank you for your time and investment. I have a question: My girlfriend feels fear and anxiety when she's meditating even when I speak the word meditation. Her first experience with meditation wasn't very succesful as her teacher was giving a guided meditation session. The rest of her class was feeling calm, destressed, relaxed. She felt uncomfort, more stress and that was 10 years ago. Her teacher told her she probably has mental bagage that has not been resolved yet. Past trauma, experiences, etcetera.. She understands the benefits and she wants to participate.. But the moment she hears the word meditation she feels anxiety and even the urge to cry. Even sitting to meditate has become troublesome for her. In my enthusiasm for meditation I think I brought her down aswell to experience the joy I have, yet she feels unable, thus creating more anxiety.. Dada, do you have any advice that might help?
I would recommend your girlfriend at this moment to only do dynamic form of meditation called kiirtana (lesson about lalita marmika) and also read spiritual book, perhaps listen to the lectures. This is a certain nod in the karma, it will take some time to be released, for now she needs just to slowly get accustomed to the spiritual atmosphere. Just 5-10 minutes a day is enough.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you my friend and dada. I will update her progress. Much love!
baba nam kevalam
Namaskar
Thank You for introducing so briefly and clearly
that The eight paths applied in a modern life to purifying the five layers of the mind.
Benefit so much and inspiring.
Nice speech!
Thank you, Geeta. When I learned myself, I was also very much fascinated to see that these techniques are used in every spiritual path and tradition, though with different names. It gave an idea that actually, in essence, the spiritual path is one, reflected with a different degree of clarity.
Namaskar dear Dada Sadananda! We love your teachings, you rnaturalness, purity. Thank you. Could you please which is your "last"/latest video? what was the date you published it? Thank you! with much gratitude, melanie

Beautiful video Dada! I am just starting to do meditation two times a day with the imagination, breath control, mantra...What would be the best time to meditate two times a day? Also i would love to pay for online and more deeper personal lessons is there a possibility for that? Namaskar and i hope you and the whole team have a wonderful day!

Through meditation practises if you develop a subtle mind, your interest in material world decreases, so I assume this means interest in things like a house, car, fancy watch etc. However, I assume that interest in the natural world, the environment and animal and plant life increases? I assume that as I have noticed it in spiritually developed people. Isn't the natural world material to though? Have I missed something that you can clarify for me?
Hello, you speak about Yama and Jama, is this the correct spelling? I would like to find out more about this.
In this playlist, you can get acquainted with them. czcams.com/play/PLtXup65mEgK2_IblKxbOUYm9RrGJ-uUTj.html
Hi, which video is before this? Sorry i cnt find it. Please send me the before vidoe you are talking about at the start
Kalpi Varsani Please tip on the Logo Meditation Stepps from this Chanel on Top!
Hello, i try to reach meditation state twice a day for a few months already. Some days ago during my practice i felt like my whole body is spinning and spinning, but i sit stable, my body was absolutely stable. I just felt the spinning. Please, what do you think that it could be? It was really strange and new feeling for me.
It is a common experience, the nervous system is getting adjusted to new energy, you might experience unusual things in your meditation for sometime until the nerves find their adjustment with the new flow.
Is there a difference between language and understanding?
Do you have to mentally understand (identify with) the meaning of the Mantra before it becomes effective?
Or would someone who does not know the meaning of a mantra when reciting it still gain the same benefits? (so only the I producing the sound is what matters)
You have to strive to keep the ideation in your head during mantra pronunciation.
Dada, have you thinking for coming to Barcelona? in spain?
I may come.
@@MeditationStepsNAMASKAR. Really Dada?? Are you joking!? It will be a great honour to be iniciated by you. I´m 2 years meditating whith the AM methods. I didn´t know because i´m not iniciated yet. It´s because of you had to be mi Dada? I fell you very proper, a so near person but i thougth,"or i love this Dada but he´s so far..." Where i can speak with iu on private, Dada?, if it is the wish of Baba...

Please be precise! Reality can not be changed by perception. There is only one reality.
Individual understanding of the one reality will change by changing perception.
If anybody says that (our) reality could be changed by [whatever in the mind or sensory organs],
than many people will take that literally and believe that the way they wish things to be
could be changed by mere wishful thinking.
I would suggest the Elementary Philosophy book by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. The absolute reality is only one, but relative truths are many. What we perceive is a relative truth for us, a bird may have a totally different picture and it will be a relative truth for that bird. Definitely, by altering the state of our mind, we are changing our reality. I see the cloudy sky and I feel sad, is this sadness not real? It is real for me. I see the cloudy sky and say, what a fine and mild whether. Is this soothing feeling also not real? Yes, it is real for me, therefore it is my reality, this is the point.
@@MeditationSteps As You are writing, it is called relative *truth* in the Elementary Philosophy. Truth and reality are not the same, just like energy and mind or consciousness are not the same. To be precise is to use the right words and not mix them up.
As Shakespeare already noted: "Truth and beauty are in the eye of the onlooker."
So, opinion on what is a truth and who is beautiful is a personal matter. But reality in one.
If I describe a matter in physics and mix up charge and capacity I will surely get my calculations wrong and misinform my readers. Truth and reality are fundamentally different like input and output are. They are not even similar. The reality is my input and what I make of it in my mind is my relative truth. It is a difference like fact and fiction is. The mentioned cloudy sky is the outer reality, whereas cloudy is already a relative term and a matter of opinion. and sky connotes, that You are on the surface of a planet and not looking down to the clouds from outer space. In a matter of a chain of action & reaction, by processing the perception of the visible covering of the "sky" by clouds, the individual creates a further internal mental chain-reaction which could lead to the mood of sadness. Here sadness is neither a reality not a truth. It is a mood. The fact is, that the person changes his or her mood according to his or her individual and momentary way of possessing inputs. The relation between the condition of the cloud cover and the emotional condition of that individual is quite far, even though cause and reaction may appear apparently instantly. But this only speaks for the processing speed of the mind and not for input and outcome to be the same thing. Very fast and automated responses are often mistakenly taken for the result of fixed and unchangeable rules rather than processes for which one bears responsibility and has actual influence on the outcome. At times the cognitive confusion is so severe that one holds input and output for the very same thing, actually making the input the only thing responsible and denying ones own responsibility for the output. It is this kind of serious mistake that is responsible for most destructive behaviours and all the negativity in the world. therefore, to make this clear distinction is imperative for human progress.
There is also a difference between believing, liking or enjoying a talk and understanding a matter.
This makes the difference between follower and learner.
Just like the difference between religion or faith and spirituality or science.
All those differences are not gradual or marginal but fundamental.
@@Manorainjan If you check in the dictionary, you will find that the word "reality" signifies: the real world, real life, actuality, truth, physical existence
@@MeditationSteps "the dictionary"? Which dictionary? Not that I would want to imply that just any modern internet dictionary should be used to define anything in a discussion about matters of Ananda Marga spiritual philosophy. But if You are to cite a dictionary, it should be a good one:
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reality
"1 : the quality or state of being real
2a(1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs.
(2) : the totality of real things and events
2b : something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily"
However, in our Elementary Philosophy the difference between reality and truth - as You already cited it - is clearly made. That is already clarified. The remaining question here is, if You are able to learn or if the Satripu pride is in Your way?
ManorainjanDE dude.... really? 😂
