Muni Kishan Lal
International Meditation Camp was organized. Many Russians participated. They were very keen to know and use these procedures. They have brought out their experiences in these camps in Russian language. Its Hindi version is given by Maria who had learnt Hindi and has given the translated version in Hindi.
I was practising Preksha Meditation. A feeling of peace and harmony descended on me. My experiences are different from those of others. When I went into deep meditation and introspection of my past, I felt that my mind was blank and I could easily find an answer to 'Who am I'? I realized that I had no identity and therefore the idea of dualism did not come to me. This could be due to total surrender to the Supreme and thus my love for the Supreme had let me think so.
Then we were asked to visualize deep into the past and the previous birth. I felt as if I was on a planet. I was surrounded by trees and flooded by light as if it was a bright sunny day. I cannot identify the planet. I could not perceive it to be in the sky or space. I wanted to know where it was. But I could not get any relevant answer. I cannot say whether that was a planet or not. I was happy to note that I was the only one. There was no one close by. Being alone in a vast planet was full of bliss. There were many thoughts that seemed to be occurring to me but I could not express them. I would like to say that there were patches of black on my face but I could not express these changes on my face.
In the end I would like to say that I enjoyed being alone and it did not have any effect on me. There are people in the West whose intolerance and cruelty sometimes overshadows some of their virtues. My personal opinion is that one can attain salvation without taking sanyas or a life of asceticism and I shall try on this path.
