  • Many human beings spend one-third of their entire lives in the sleeping state! Not a very good utilization of human life. In this video, Dada explains the benefits of attempting to reduce one’s sleeping time and replace it with meditation practices. He offers practical tips on how to achieve this special state.

    Thanks a lot for this well explanation! What's so interesting is that duration and quality of sleep is mainly influenced indirectly by how we spend our daytime. Good sleep in return has then a positive impact on how our days go. An upward spiral so to say...

    After many years of Meditation and Yoga practice, I have reduced my need for sleep to 3 hours per night. Usually from 1am to 4am. Upon arising, I drink a large glass of cool water. I then have walking meditation until sunrise, then begin my day. Namaste to all who yearn for Awakening during this Kali-yuga.

I have found my much needed path,but I have come to realize that I already know this. Ive been holding myself back. Not excepting reality. Thank you sir. Ive been using fasting for over a year. At least Im sticking to it! I feel much better all around. I have found my next step. Thx
