What is Shravana & Manana Yoga?
SHRAVANA YOGA
This way of meditation is auditory in nature. In this meditation one listens to repetition of a pure divine mantra, or a hymn with rapt attention.
These days electronic repeater (Chanting box) of mantras are available in the market.
Select only one mantra or a hymn which is your most favorite and do not change it often.
MANANA YOGA
This is a type of meditation is practised in a very diluted manner. Only the Nama Mantra given in the table at this page can be constantly repeated mentally without moving tongue and lips during the course of day-to-day activities, like morning or evening walk in the park or at any other safe place or while travelling, where greater concentration of the mind is not required.
As there is no scope for the released karmic forces to move out in this form of meditation, they move out in the form of dreams during sleep in the night. With regular practise dreams will come down.
DO NOT practise this meditation when you are driving or while doing any activity where great concentration of mind is required like working with machines, driving, cutting etc. If practised, you may end up in disaster.
