I suffer from the same thing, as of now my solution is to just sit down at the sound of a good mantra and dedicate sometime to feel it and perhaps recite back, not strictly introspective meditation, but it's gotta start somewhere, right?

Vannakkam hari: Certainly there would be some resources where you live. Wouldn't Ramana Ashram in Tiruvanammalai offer some introductory courses? maybe the Kanch I Peetham does. i think you should try looking around a bit there.

I like to share my experience with you. We people can not start Meditation straightway. we need to start chanting first. We have many mantra but we need to prove our purity to chant those mantra. So we need prove our patrata. Depending on our spiritual level we can select mantra for chanting. slowly slowly we can make progress. Do not give any importance to person vision or experiences. Pray to GOD Shree Ganesh before you start.

Chanting is the first step for mediation. You need chant a mantra which you have Nistha with. Be patience and consistent with your chanting ( I say chanting and not meditation). With that said, your acharan also needs to be Satvik. For beginners, mood is very much necessary, so try to get some mood first, ead good food, behave satvik. Listen to religious music. do not despair if you cant do. For beginners quite environment is very much necessary, like puja room. Try to sit firm. Start with verbal chanting, then slowly slowly you will get experience and you yourself find the way.

I do chanting with help of this website,

This website has events also, so you will be able to talk with someone from the website.

West has made Meditation so easy, but it is not that easy.
Meditation is not that easy with so many desires we have, like sex, greed, and maya ( kids, grand kids, get to gathers, parties, movies, clubs, drinking). Do not try to control/suppress your senses as it may prove rebellion in longrun. Let concentration comes natural way. So there are so many disturbances in the way of Meditation. When we over come all these, may be we can get to the state of Meditation and through Meditation we can get to the state of Sadhana/Dhyan.


Here is another book, I am reading it presently.

How To Start Meditation ?

Let me ask a few questions before offering some simple ideas...

• Do you have a teacher, an instructor?
• How did you learn of what you are doing now, that your eyes are opening ? That is, what technique are you practicing?
• What do you believe meditation entails?
• Are you in a quiet spot? Can you have some semblance of silence?
• Do you have the proper time to meditate ?
• Your age?

Namaste,

I'm unable concentrate for long because my mind jumps from thought to thought like an ape It's really frustrating.

What's so bad about meditating with eyes open? Looking at a candle flame for instance and becoming one with it, or perhaps a picture of your ishta. Just a suggestion. Many roads, same destination.
