Hello everyone,

Last time I made a post here regarding minority communities in India, some of you expressed interest in learning more about India and how The TRP unfolds in India.

This is my humble attempt to explain my country and present some cases where theories that we discuss are applicable.

Before I start churning out about India, it's people and some stories that will find interest here, I want to give a tool of some practical purpose to my brothers.

And that tool is: Meditation.

I have seen some interesting posts on meditation on this subreddit but none of it has mentioned the simple yet effective technique I am going to express here.

The technique :

1) Sit cross legged with straight back.

If you cannot maintain this position for long, I suggest you sit cross legged on couch so that it has your back supported.

2) Close your eyes

3) Chant "OM" , breathe in and verbalize OM as long as your breath last. Repeat. Don't do internal chanting, I want you to actually utter the word.

OM = aum (pronunciation)

4) This is optional. At times I like to add some affirmations like "Strength, Wealth, Power" while chanting OM. I chant OM, and think of the above mentioned affirmation.

Start with 10 chants a day, stretch it to 5 minutes everyday and later to 10

You should be able to meditate 10 minutes everyday.

The Benefits:

1)Quieter, More focussed mind.

2)Less emotional, more stoic, analytical mind

3)Naturally IDGAF attitude over time

4)Growing desire to do everything with perfection and accuracy. You will start seeking perfection in your work, in your body, in your diet, in your relationships (not the ones with women, but in general) and you will start detesting low standards and people who carry them.

5)Wholesale supplier of Gina Tingles.

6)More Grey matter in your brain.

Thank me once you've reached the level of at least 10 minutes a day.

Mandukya Upanishad is an Indian Spiritual text which discusses the importance of the letter OM. It explains how everything in the universe begins and ends in OM. By chanting OM, we are breathing in the cosmic energy of the universe.

There is also discussion about dreams in this Upanishad, and that is where I believe some movies like 'Inception', 'Avatar' received their inspiration from.

Anyone interested in the text of Mandukya Upanishad, I can provide.
