This intriguing course explores the theory, practice, and benefits of meditation from a scientific and spiritual point of view. The course was developed for Virtual University by Satya Sarada Kandula, who has studied meditation for eleven years at a world-renowned center in India. She also holds a Master's degree in Electronic Design and teaches computer science at the university level. "To realise God, it is necessary to remove pre-conceived notions, to still our mind, look into our heart, and to see that which IS. Meditation provides us a way to quiet the mind without crushing it, and distance our wishful fancies to see the Reality that is God," writes Satya. She goes on to explain in her weekly lessons how to meditate (Dhayana), health and emotional benefits of meditation, how to achieve insight and clear thinking, how to use meditation to overcome negative attitudes and habits, and how to travel the path to God Realisation, the divine experience.
