About This Book

A monumental and authoritative sourcebook, Meditation & Its Practices by Swami Adiswarananda illuminates the two most time-honoured traditions of Hindu meditation — Yoga and Vedanta — in a single comprehensive volume. Drawing on both classical texts and contemporary understanding, this definitive guide covers every dimension of meditative practice: its goals and benefits, objects of meditation, methods of concentration, posture, eating habits, mystical experiences, and the obstacles that arise on the path — along with practical ways to overcome them.

At 480 pages, this is not a light introduction but a serious, deeply researched companion for those committed to understanding meditation in its fullest spiritual context. The goal, as Swami Adiswarananda makes clear, is not visions or dreams, but the genuine transformation of character through Self-Knowledge.
