The Meaning of Samadhi

What is samadhi, really? Is it a state of emptiness or a state of super-awareness, super-consciousness? Read on.

A reader posted the following comment a few days back asking about the true meaning of Samadhi:

Hari Bol Prabhu ji ! I am eagerly waiting for your upcoming posts and with your kind grace, hopeful to understand the Truth. I have one query regarding my understanding. You may choose to not answer the question if you feel that in upcoming posts it will be answered on its own. The question is about the state of 'Samadhi'. What is the meaning of the word Samadhi or State of Pure Bliss? What I understand is that Samadhi is a State when one knows who he really is, i.e. there is no difference between God and Himself, where one has realized that he is not 'Jad' but Chetan. As King Janak said in Sri Ashtavakra Geeta after realizing the truth, "How amazing am I, I bow down to myself." Please guide me, if my small mind with little knowledge is on the right path. Hare Krishna !

On giving

A wise man was once asked what was the best way to receive. "Give," he said. "The river that empties into the ocean is the one the rains return to."
