Direct Experience
Yoga Meditation is about Direct Experience, not belief...

Yoga meditation is the art and science of systematically 
observing, accepting, understanding, and training 
each of the levels of our being, 
such that we may coordinate and integrate 
those aspects of ourselves, 
and dwell in the direct experience 
of the center of consciousness.

Believe only what You experience

In the oral tradition of yoga, it is said that you should not believe anything you are told, or what is written in books.

However, there is a catch. It is also suggested that the student not reject anything either. Just let suggestions or concepts sit there, not following blindly.

Seek your own direct experience
not merely belief.

The idea is to then check it our for yourself. Run your own experiments to find out whether the principles and practices are valid or not. See if the teachings match your experience. 

Then believe your own experience. Then it is your own insight, validated by the principles and practices. You own it yourself. Yoga meditation is a systematic path of direct experience.

-------

This site is devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like fingers on a hand. We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute.
