Frequently Asked Questions about the Course
ANSWER: Yes, it is possible to learn meditation in four days and that is why this is a four day course. Thousands of graduates have successfully completed the course and learnt how to meditate and so will you. Every principle in the course is explained with the help of factual information and anecdotes. This is followed by a relevant meditation. The brain wave frequency (meditative frequency) of the participant is influenced by the frequency of the teacher making it much easier for them to reach the Alpha or meditative level. Knowledge is then transmitted not only through words but also from mind to mind. As a result a wonderful feeling of tranquility engulfs the participants. ANSWER: Anyone between the ages of 12 and 80 who has average intelligence and is able to understand Bengali can participate in the course. No special qualification is required. ANSWER: No, there is absolutely no conflict between religion and meditation. In fact, meditation can help you pray with greater concentration and devotion. Meditation fosters a communication with one’s own self, increasing one’s awareness of one’s identity as being. This inner communication enables one to pray with greater devotion. Meditation can also help you progress spiritually. For thousands of years practitioners of different religions have developed meditation techniques not for relaxation but for a direct insight into the nature of God. There is a saying, “Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you listen.” Quantum Method Meditation can be practiced by people of all religion to deepen concentration in prayer and to spiritual progress. ANSWER: Because meditation will enhance your concentration in prayer. When we pray with single-minded devotion, we have a sense of communion with God and feeling of spiritual contentment. However, in the absence of single-minded devotion, our prayers are reduced to a meaningless ritual. Regular meditation will help you develop a calmer frame of mind and help create total concentration and devotion in your prayers. ANSWER: Almost everyone comes to the course with the same fear.
