Some Do's & Don'ts
Some Do's & Don'ts
- The basic rules you'll need to follow are vegetarianism and abstinence from smoking and alcohol.
- Practise the Mahamantra meditation everyday.
- Once a week, try to hold a group meditation for healers and others. If you can dedicate your time and energy, start a healing center and/or a meditation center in your area. Having a healing or meditation center in your home purifies the energy of your home, and helps you enter into meditation easily. No fee is to be collected for healing and meditation at the center. Whoever feels compelled to contribute is free to do so. (Patients are encouraged to contribute, however - because people usually treat any process with more respect if they have paid for it!) Above all, it is significant and true that Dharma (the noble act of giving) takes a load off the patient's karma, which has manifested as disease. To set up a centre, you will need a) A spacious room where you can conduct healing/ meditation without disturbing the privacy and activities of your household b) A kit which includes a big laminated photograph of Swamiji, a board which says 'Dhyanapeetam Healing Research Centre' (both are available at the ashram) and items from the ashram for display and sale. You will be in charge of collecting the proceeds from sales and donations and passing them on to the Bangalore City Centre periodically. c) An arrangement for appropriate music to be played in the centre at all times (If you can't set up things very professionally, never mind. It's just the beginning. And after all, the spirit of the initiative is what really counts!)
