I don’t dismiss any method taught by gurus. But I comment only on ones I practiced. TM mantra is designed to self-dissolve & leave hyper-alert state WITHOUT content. Tremendous creative insights flow spontaneously from para-level, but don’t ruin it with conceptual intervention.

Prana-based techniques also good. But are less deep as they are at energy level, but they can LEAD one to deeper pasyanti-level and eventually even beyond.

Japa and all Vaikhari-level/loud sound like Bhajans are good starting point especially when emotionally disturbed. Help calm the cognitive machinery to be able to start other practices.

Tantra is a whole encyclopedia of techniques using the senses to go beyond the senses. Similar level as prana techniques. Yoga Nidra also belongs to this level.

In my case I have a foundational practice & on top of that I add more based on my situation at a given time. Personalized & customized by the “guru within” who was installed by my bodily-guru before leaving the body nearly 2 decades ago.

I never skip a chance to learn something new from any and every guru I meet.

Nidhishyasana taught by my guru WITHOUT THEORY. Just practice. Only much later I realized that it was nidhidhyasana. How fortunate I have been. I rarely discuss these things publicly bcause the ppl lack the foundation to understand & insult it as superficial stuff.🙏

Samaj today depleted of qualities, led by charlatans including social media, politics, so-called activists, etc. We are headed for big trouble. I am terribly sad for our youth - betrayed by the leaders.🙏
