Dhyaanam – Meditation and the Meditator

HSF2101 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) Living in the contemporary world includes navigating conflicts at the level of family, work, society and even in one’s mind. The modern practice of mindfulness which continues to help millions across the world has its roots in the Vedic tradition. Unfortunately, four things are missing in the way mindfulness is taught – a. the true purpose of meditation, b. the foundation of Dharma to live a harmonious life, c. the understanding of Ishvara and d. an enquiry into the meditator that is ever present in all types of meditations. This course will help us return to the Vedic roots of Dhyaanam such that we integrate a suitable, meaningful and sustainable practice of Dhyaanam in our busy lives so that we may live with a greater clarity, cheerfulness and purpose.

A late payment fee of $50 will be charged for all the Summer 2022 courses registrations after July 5, 2022.

Description

Course content:

Amrtabindu Upanishad reveals that the mind is the cause of both bondage and liberation. How can we transform our relationship with the mind such that it does not bind us but leads us to the truth? In the light of Vedanta, we move through three stages –

  • First stage – My mind is a problem. I want to fix my mind.
  • Second stage – My mind is an instrument, a glorious gift from Ishvara. True to its name (antah-karana-inner instrument) I use it as and when required for my different pursuits.
  • Third stage – I, chaitanyam illumine my mind and do not judge myself on the basis of the conditions of my mind.

Millions have traversed the landscape of transforming their minds and living happy, purposeful lives guided by the wisdom of our revered Rishis.  The course will include the understanding of the mind in the Vedic tradition, some meditation practices and an enquiry into the nature of the meditator. Drawing from the Yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, this course will lead the participant to have a guided, suitable and meaningful meditation practice.

 Course Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn the purpose and practice of at least six types of meditation.
  2. Transform your relationship with your mind such that you use the mind effectively
  3. Discover a peace, cheerfulness and gratitude for your life and in your relationships
  4. Develop a closer relationship with Bhagavan
  5. Enquire into the nature of the meditator (Atma) through the varying meditation practices.
  6. Integrate dhyaanam into your lifestyle meaningfully

Class Structure:

There will be a minimum of 1 contact hour with one or more faculty every week. Since this is an experiential course, the class is structured such that there will be a lecture component along with different practices of meditations, discussion based on self-study and reflection each week. While the content being discussed in each class will be concluded within 60 minutes, the discussion time will be free format, and can continue for an additional 30 minutes maximum. During the course, students will be required to share their reflections and write a short essay. This need not be an academic quality paper – but should be based on students’ self-reflection on what they have learnt and assimilated so far. The significance of the course is on learning and integrating Dhyaanam into one’s lifestyle while being centred in the battlefield of life.
