Swamiji, can you please tell us more about meditation and how it can help in losing our ego.

Yes...Let me first tell you, how and why meditation techniques came into being.

Man, ever since his creation has wondered and researched on what it is that created this beautiful universe; what it is that created this beautiful earth and rolled it into space and what it is that makes the rivers flow and the mountains grow. He concluded that there is a Force or Energy that is conducting all this. He concluded that there was some tremendous Existential Energy that is running the whole show. He then started wondering about how to establish a connection with that Energy.

The first people to make this conclusion, research on it and establish a connection with this Energy were the Rishis or Realised Souls or Enlightened Masters. Once they attained, they created many ways for future generations also to realize this Energy. The ways that each of them gave, are the various meditation techniques and religions.

Each of them realized God through a different way, through a different technique, and recorded their way independently. This is just like how scientists create research reports on their discoveries and inventions. Each Rishi gave a report on his enlightenment and this became a religion or a meditation technique.
