From Ramu

1. Many happy returns to Vidya and Vivek. All the best to them.
2. Very nice comments from Ramakrishnan, Gayathri and Akila on Meditation. I attended a week long course, Sudharshan Kriya, in 2007, conducted by Sri Sri Ravishankar's group. There they concentrate on breathing methods mostly and some meditation also. During Kriya practice and meditation, Sri Sri`s recorded thala (timing) and other messages used to be played. As Ramakrishnan says, He also says not to control any thoughts or feelings during meditation but be concious of it.
I feel I have not put in sincere efforts on this and I feel I should become more serious and practice more sincerely. Thanks.
