In current times countless people face problem in:

Sitting on the floorSitting crossed legs

Sitting without back supportOr

Sitting with legs folded

I too faced them & still do!

I have a tender knee & a fragile vertebra.

So, what did I do?

I was inspired by teachings of two distinguished people.

1st, Swami Vivekananda, Who said:

Just don’t meditateMake your life meditative.

© Puneet Srivastava, March 2015

Next, our teacher,Swami Amartyanandawho told us, always to:

Watch our thoughts & nothing else.

© Puneet Srivastava, March 2015

So, I thought of thoughts

And as my teacher had said, the posture came.

The point is:

Meditation is arriving at what lies

beyond the body & mind

&

that’s possible in several ways.

© Puneet Srivastava, March 2015

Thus, don’t ever feel

restricted.

© Puneet Srivastava, March 2015

The New World makes life a bit different.

V r different.

Hence understanding things in

perspective is important.
