MEDITATION : RE-VISITED – RE-AWAKENED – RE-KINDLED

Thomas Punnapadam SDB

Human life has two inseparables yet distinct dimensions, the inner and the outer. Most of the publicized attention is of course on the external, socio-economic development, synonymous with the GDP.
Thankfully since a couple of years, the focus is shifting to the inner dimension. In recent times, meditation has entered the mainstream of modern culture. The inner dimensional focus is being prescribed for everyone in every walk of life by popular life-coaches and highly qualified physicians, widely acclaimed religious experts and spiritual guides. Mindfulness, the secular term currently in vogue, is acknowledged as the panacea for people in every walk of life. In a world where people are drowning in anxiety and tension, fragility and uncertainty, meditation appears as a universal anodyne, irrespective of age and sex, nationality and culture. It is hailed as the most effective stress-buster. This volume presents a useful introduction into some meditation methods, which transcends religious and dogmatic limitations. Hopefully these pages will serve to propel people more decisively and systematically on the life-long path of life-enriching meditation practice.
