Dude, you've got something on your forehead there.
Dandapani, do something for Indians. I really like your words, they are really simple to understand. I would like to learn more from you but they are really expensive for me as Indian.
I meditated for 20 minutes and it was my first time
Meditation can transform ordinary to extra ordinary life.
It's not abt being super human or extra ordinary ,it's about realising being human is super nd living ordinary is extra ordinary 😉

No
Can it transform my depressed life
@@harikaushik6505 yeah if you do it at 4 am
I gotta say I dont agree that meditation doesnt help concentration, its true that you need to concentrate in order to meditate, but your brain practices concentration when you try to meditate each time, and just like muscles build themselves when you workout, your concentration improves each time you practice concentration, as your brain makes more neurons conncetions.
thats my honest opinion, id like to hear yours too
I feel the same..😃😃
He never meant it the way you have interpreted. Meditation will only help concentration when every activity for you becomes meditation i.e. focused
Yes I also don't agree that the meditation doesn't help in concentration. It actually helps to build our concentration.
yes
I think whole point about meditation is to know your self , it creates mental calmness and it help in a lot of way if you perform it daily bt what he is trying to say is that concentration is different and meditation is different, you can't say with daily meditation we build concentration cause we have to apply in the whole day long practice of concentration to support meditation at best.

I have been meditating for more than a decade by His grace. I humbly want to share my experience here for whatever it is worth. Meditation happens just like sleep happens. It is a birth right of every human. All we do is to provide a conducive environment, just like we do for sleep. To prepare a conducive body, breath and mind to allow meditation to happen, does not take hours. Meditation is the art of doing nothing. It is the most effortless thing on this earth to do. More effortless than breathing. If one is doing something, one is not meditating. Meditation does not necessarily need one to be able to concentrate. A seeker should seek in-person sessions to get started with meditation. Short talks or books are inappropriate for things that need to be "experienced" and not "learnt".
Now that is an answer
Yeah, well I can’t even sleep so..
I tried meditating but always felt asleep,I think sleeping while sitting straight is the trick
Obviously books does help. Try reading some
“Meditation clears and focuses your mind and is really easy, but here are a million things not to do, how you’re doing it wrong and a bunch of things to think of and consider” - Every single meditation advocate.
No body says it’s easy. it’s simple but not easy
Learning for me 9th December 2020
1.meditation is not gonna help you to concentrate because meditation requires a lot of concentration
2.An beautiful analogy : Usain bolt
A day filled with routine to get ready for the d day.
3.i should also make myself ready for the mediation
4.you have spent 23 hours to get ready for 1 hour of meditation
This is exceptional
5.i should spend all day to increase concentration to get better at mediation by concentrating on everything I do .
You get better at what you repeatedly do.
Thanks a lot ❤️.
Great takeaways, I especially like #5
His words have just pierced into my brain....as if this was exactly what I was looking for
Whoever is reading this
May all your dreams come true 🤗
Why? If I had horrible dream?
God Bless You, i needed that !
You too🙂👍
@@govindbisen388 If it is horrible, then it is a nightmare, NOT a dream.
May Divine Mother bless you, dear one.
Crystal clear information about people who can’t able to meditate
Try to work 8-5 in an office setting where you are surrounded by people who talk, walk and do their jobs. And sorry, not many can afford to quit jobs or look for carrier change due to many reasons. I know these above sound like excuses to lots of people but they are the hard reality for many.
Better you prepare ..better you perform.
Prepare your best and perform your best...
Thank you for this. I had been trying to meditate for many years, but i only did it when I had the time for it. I now make it my single most important thing I do every morning and so true, everything else I do is so that it helps my meditation practice.
No words for appreciation. Thanks for correcting me.
I start to sense everything mindfully , which brings my mind to present state from pilot mode,
The perfect, best and reliable Saint I found.
Oh .. finally someone said it, I have always felt if that preparation part is what am I missing but could never understand if my thoughts were right.
Sir, your session helped me to understand the importance of daily meditation.. Thank you so much
Saints like u are gems for the world 🌎
If only we had leaders like him in the world
Your mind is your biggest weapon to overcome that negativity. Let go of the stress and be well assured that with your ming being refreshed you can win
Thank you so much ☺️
Self discipline in anything you do. Just follow Dharma n Karma marg
Definitely wisdom to people like me. We often treat things like a magic pill: when we get sick we go to the doctor for that zero-commitment remedy that will give us results in a way where we can continue with the very life practices that made us sick in the first place.
Speaks English so fluently 💯💯😱😱
Why wouldn't he?
No wonder in it... because English is the simplest language with just 26 alphabets....which is quite fewer than many indian languages
I've learned a lot from this guy. He simplified things down to the point where the light bulb went on. I give my undivided attention to what I am doing at the moment and to whomever I am speaking. I do this everyday all day. Nothing else worked and I'm talking about years of trying. Seriously life changing.
Now when I meditate that is what I concentrate on with no distractions.
Makes sense I can't meditate for 5 minutes the mind it too busy. Tbt it'll take a lot from me to get to the point that he is teaching.
nah nah, once you have decided it will take a lot to get to the point he is teaching. The it will become a reality. Don't limit yourself
Even if u r not able to concentrate. Just do a 10 minute meditation straight away sitting in bed. Do for 21 days. Later u will automatically do. Difference is the first 21 days u r telling ur body to do meditation. After 21 ur body will tell u do this first now.
Point to note here.
1. Do not to get down from bed and let ur feet touch ground then u will ground ur energy otherwise u can get more concentration.this is my observation.
2. Do not use ur phone, otherwise ur waking uo ur mind to wander n distract u.
3. Just focus on breath n sitting is a very simple meditation. No force. Just be as u r. Or even u can focus on ur third eye observe breadth.
4. Hamsa meditation. Google it u will find its benefits. Its benefits will carry forward to life after lifes.
Awesome explanation
Abordagem interessante...realmente, a preparação precede o bem-sucedido. Congrats and Thanks for your wisdom words !!
How simply put !
Wow.....transformed my views on meditation
The better you prepare ,
The better you perform 💕
Why Jihadi is talking about meditation and peace
Extraordinary explanation
Very good point.
Thank you ❤
Take care good to talk to you and I wish you the best of happiness
You prepare to be ready to do the things that are important to you
Planning and preparation is key which eventually leads to performance!
Superbbb 🔥
Great example to quote, but for a layman to digest the meaning of that is not easy...
~If repetation is the mother of learning then imagination is the mother in law of learning.
MEAS~SOUL.
I really owe to you sir, for your golden words...,, much positive vive in your words....
This is insight
So true!
Thanks
Miga Miga Arumai :) Vazhthukkal!
Mee too, from tamilnadu..
Truth 🔥 said
A master monk (meditating 45+ years) that I met in Barma/Myanmar this year told me that meditation is OPPOSITE of concentration. It actually makes sense if you think about it..
I must be in meditation all day long 😂 I can't concentrate!!
Meditation makes you best at the things you are good at.
Finally, yes...concentration helps you meditate! This is it!
We all have to complete the race that is set before us and never give up no matter what!!!
Concentration is the result of meditation 🤗✌️
Hello stranger hope you're doing great. Just Dropped in because I missed you
Wow
Sir could I know the name of your book, it it's already published, U've given a hint bout ur book in prev. Vdo
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏Swamiji please available subtitles
🙏
It's good what he said but the question was on "rituals and charging more amount of money" which he didn't answer.
That is so true I strongly agree with you if this be so beautiful if I truly have a life like you described but not all the time life happens like that maybe for some people but not everyone because nowadays Society is so different from long ago and you know yourself it has rapidly changed up into the now yes some people can experience sitting back meditating having a schedule and it works well getting all the important things done now this life to me is a piece of paradise because if I would describe to you how upside down my life is not me don't get me wrong but my life is so dysfunctional not stable going from here to there upside down and around no it this type of situation all I can do is try to survive don't have time Normani at this time nor know normal state of ability if I had these things sure I could develop myself more and have a much more stable life
Very much excited for this video❤❤
I am wowed at the level of wisdom!
2:55 " The Better you prepare; the better you perform "🏆🎖🥇
Thank you dandapani love from sri lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰
proud to say that he is my guru.. ❤️❤️
No, you cannot compare India with any other country, India is a planet.
When will you finish your book sir?I am waiting to read it and understand about myself in a better way ,on a different level of understanding.
Much needed ❤️❤️
So everything comes back on is based on " discipline and dedication" . meditation just calms and awares .
What is the prep?
Wow you are the wisest man after the OSHO.
Thank you
Hello sir can u tell me what happens after u got enlightened.
It's all different for everyone
And then there's people with too low blood pressure.
So how important the role of decipline in any kind of preparation
The better you prepare, The better you Perform 👌👌 hit so hard
I also can't meditate sir
Yes the gym seems like a lot of fun but throughout my life I always brought the gym home I don't know I love going to the gym but seldom go because I love my privacy so much anyhow it's fun to have gym equipment bicycle treadmill in your home
How to understand our subconscious mind and how to control it.

how can i prepare my whole (day?) to my morning meditation? I understand that during the day, when you woke, you can prapare yourself to evening session, but what about morning meditation? Thank you.
He meant that you should always prepare yourself which means concentrate all the time! Concentrate on brushing your teeth, driving your car, making your coffee everything😀
@Jörgen Chalazothýella hahahahaha Do you know the word in your profile pic means ‘Die’ in Chinese?😝😆😆
How to prepare for meditation?
I agreed but its also said by kabir ji
Shan (pal) beesre shan sumre ye to simran nahi
Aatho peher (8 peher) bhi na rahe simran sohe kahayi. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is right. I never prepare myself for meditation. That is the reason why those courses don't help.
Namastey danadapani..... My name is krishn , i'm a student at graduation level ..... I had a lot of doubt ... When i saw your 1st vid (2months ago) most of my doubt gone clear .... A question want to ask that is plzz tell me about philosophy ..what is it in real meaning , my words cant describe my inside pain for this question but i need it ... I'm in front of you plzz tell me what is this...i hope you will understand a lill child's thoughts ....plzzz
I seriously have all these demons running around my mind I can’t meditate or find peace
i dont get it, like i think i need some context here
So what exactly are we preparing for ? To let go? Is that what karma yoga is ? You engage and give the best of you and then you can let go with peace in your heart?
To see things clearly. Kind of like like during a relaxing shower and you have a great idea or when you go on a 1-2 week peaceful vacation and start to realize things in your life and things you are going to change when you get back. There are prerequisites for meditation. One has to get ones life in order to eliminate most of the distracting thoughts. This was taught 2500 years ago by Buddha and probably others before him.
@@livingright2439 yea I realized I can’t stay consistent with things and even meditation practice . So what we’re saying is basically if I can’t keep a consistent meditation practice it’s cuz I’m not being consistent with practical responsibilities. So there’s a lot of guilt and disparity . It’s a loop cuz instant meditation suppose to help with guilt and suffering in the first place . Imean I guess everyone is different then? If meditation don’t help you then following up with day to day responsibilities and pursuing goals will help right? Then we can meditate . Meditation prepares us for life and life prepares us for meditation. I’m stuck in that paradoxical loop
@@Spiritualitygonwild Let me correct what I said before. It’s more like day to day responsibilities are a corequisite to meditation. Don’t think of it as a loop but as a spiral staircase leading up to higher awareness and success. Buddha’s path has 3 main divisions, wisdom, morals/ethics and concentration. For simplicity sake in the beginning, consider the things you learn as wisdom, doing right day to day as ethics/morals and meditation as concentration. An example would be meditation in the morning, doing right day to day during the day and gaining knowledge/wisdom through learning at night. Or whatever works for your schedule.
Am I the only one who don’t get it ? What kind of preparation ? What to actually do?
i think they need to change camera angel
It's very good to see how he started with jeans and tshirts seven year's ago and ending up with this attire a year later.
Has meditation got anything to do with the attire? Or is is standard marketing to prove that he has attained wisdom!
Hey! Can you do a video on how to use your time wisely!
My legs starts paining if i sit in the same position for more than 5 mins😭
Yeah It takes me five minutes to even think about meditation then another several hours to get serious about it.

Focus on what you Take-In!
I am really confused as i watched osho videos and now i came here and seeing both videos are completely different
As osho says concentration is opposite of meditation
Being watchful is meditation and concentration sabotage watchfulness
He says there should be no part of concentration in your watchfulness
*Utter relaxation with no focusing of consciousness is real watchfulness*
Please can you explain me the right way to meditate
@Bhavy Agarwal
From my own personal experience with meditation I can say this: They're BOTH right! It just depends on your definition of concentration. To this guy concentrating means focussing on everything BUT what's distracting you on a daily basis. Meaning: distracting thoughts, urges and emotions. Usually it is adviced to focus on your breath or a mantra that you'd be repeating throughout your meditation practise. As focussing on your breath for example wouldn't distract you too much because it happens automatically and somewhat unconsciously. So concentrating on your breath would equal just watching your breath pass by or being watchful towards your breath. If you now were to immerse yourself completely in the rhythm of your breath, you'll automaticly drown out all of the background noises as the part of you that's putting in way too much effort in completing a task for example is now 'drowning' in your breath. You've now reached a state of true watchfulness. So all in all: putting in a conscious effort to get something done (getting distracted according to this guy, concentrating according to Osho) AND letting yourself drift off towards a semi-conscious state, when focussing on your breath for example (concentrating according to this guy, being watchful according to Osho) are the real polar opposites here. Hope this helps you somewhat :)
I dont get it
How to start meditation?
In Kaliyug, nobody can meditate.
Chant 'Hare Krishna' Mahamantra 108 times daily without closing your eyes and you should hear your chants. Keep your eyes on Shri Krishna's photo
