Pārthivīdhāraṇā

Published: 22.03.2018

Concentration of Citta (psyche) on earth element of the body- A kind of Piṇḍastha Dhyāna (meditation based on the corporeal frame of the body);

in this meditation, the practitioner sitting in the (proper) posture, expereinces through mental auto-suggestion the extensiveness and purity of one's own sustaining places such as ocean, mountain etc. and experiences the nature of Vītarāga (one, free from attachment and aver­sion), who is omnipotent, and ultimately, by intensifying such experience, becomes fully engrossed in it.
