The Path of Kundalini Maha Yoga
By Shri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas

"When the student gains complete control of the mind there is an experience of unique peace and joy. The student realizes the entire world is the creation of one God."

Meditation is the practice of turning the attention from outer awareness to inner concentration. In the practice of Kundalini Maha Yoga, meditation is much more than a relaxation technique. It is a way of easing resistance to the ascent of the Kundalini energy by quieting the fluctuations of the mind.

Of all the forms of meditation, meditation through attention on the breath is the simplest and most direct way to Self-realization.  The aspirant can coordinate and integrate various energies of the nervous system by performing breathing exercises called pranayama in conjunction with meditation. Once this is accomplished, the student easily gains control over the life supporting vital air, the prana, which in turn leads to control over the mind. When the student gains complete control of the mind, there is an experience of unique peace and joy. The student realizes the entire world is the creation of one God. When this happens on a large scale, the miseries of the world will end and there will be peace and happiness everywhere.
