There are various definitions of meditation. One of them says that meditation is an effort to focus our mind to higher consciousness in order to uplift our soul. In yoga, meditation is usually done by repeating certain mantra which has been blessed with spiritual power by preceptor/Guru. By repeating that mantra, the sublime and pure spiritual power will dawn in the heart of the seeker to purify his soul.
Meditation
Repeating Number
Meditation on number which is one of powerful technique to awaken the Kundalini is a “New Invention” of Kundalini Maestro His Grace Acharya Kamal Kishore Gosvami. Requested by his only disciple, Darmayasa, he invented a new technique of meditation with Numbers as media. In February 2000, in Bali Indonesia, Guru Ji, as he is addressed by his follower, using his spiritual power which is equal to the result of his 12 years sadhana (penances), blast the Number (1-9) to help human being/people to discover their own Self. A particular number chosen is blessed and programmed by certain technique become a medium full of power to the seeker, and the function of this number changed into as that of a powerful mantra.
Why number and not mantra as usual medium of meditation? The answer is that it is just a method. Number is capable of uniting the multi diversity of human beings. Beside, number has “secret power” which can be used in realizing the Self and makes Divine Love in the heart of human being possible. Divine Love in its true sense. Because Love limited to a particular group is an “initial” stage in this spiritual love.
With number as medium, it is hoped that the technique can be simplified and accepted universally. Guru Ji has a desire that this meditation be owned by each and everyone, every ethnic, group or religion. Through the meditation one is able to awaken the Kundalini in order to help others to awaken spiritual love without discrimination.
Each and everyone of us is equal, a minute seed invisible to our eyes and eternal part of the Supreme power, The Almighty God.
The world is bereft of spiritual love. Therefore unconsciously people grouped themselves in various identities and unconsciously go away from the universal consciousness and Spiritual Love or Divine Love. The purpose of awakening of Kundalini through this meditation is to awaken the Spiritual power in oneself in order to make this Spiritual love possible in each and everyone’s heart.
Number, blessed with spiritual power by Guru serves as catalyst between human being and higher consciousness, like password serves as key to access your computer. By practicing this meditation daily, spiritual consciousness is purified.
How To Obtain The Blessing From Number ?
First you need to choose any one number from one to nine, and never change it. After that ask the bona fide Spiritual Master to initiate the number, which, up to now only two persons who are capable of doing so are Mahaguru Acharya Kamal Kishore Goswami and Rasa Acharya Prabhu Darmayasa.
The process is, more or less, as follows: first Guru will cleanse you from all “dirt”, therewith putting meditation “seed” into the meditation student, furthermore the student only keeping and developing it through number meditation. It is much better, if the chosen number had been “set up” and been blessed by spiritual power is not changed, because the number has become a number which is full of spiritual power to you and not other numbers which you never choose.
After passing the process then you are ready to move on into the practice of number meditation.

You can ask directly to Guru or to the appointed trainer about other clues regarding this meditation.
- If you are progressing with this technique, the trainers will give further techniques in remembering number. But, you’d better “understand completely” the previous techniques before jumping to the next techniques.
The Five Center Points Meditation
One of the functions of meditation is to awaken the Kundalini. Besides this, there are various other benefits can be derived from doing meditation such as to maintain health, peaceful mind, overcome stress etc. To be able to practice the meditation daily, one should acquire special guidance. For that purpose, one is advised to contact the Guru or an appointed trainer and request him to give guidance in this matter at least once in the beginning. Thereafter one may practice this meditation on his own. The technique is as follows:
- Concentrate your mind on the Muladhara Chakra (tail bone) for more or less 5 seconds while repeating by heart the chosen number.
- Drag your concentration upward to the Manipura Chakra (navel) and concentrate there for another 5 seconds, repeat the number.
- Further up toward Anahata Chakra (heart), concentrate for 5 second, repeat the number.
- Up toward Visuddha Chacra (throat), concentrate for 5 second, repeat the number.
- Up toward Ajna Chakra (between the brows), concentrate for 5 second, repeat the number.
- Now we reverse the process downwards. Repeat by heart once more the number while concentrating on Ajna Chakra (between the brows)
- Drag concentration downward to the Visuddha Chakra (throat), concentrate there 5 second while repeating the number by heart.
- Down to the Anahata Chakra (heart), repeat the number while concentrating for about 5 second.
- Further down to the Manipura Chakra (navel), again repeat the number while concentrating for about 5 second.
- Down to the starting point, Muladhara Chakra (tail bone), repeat the number while concentrating for 5 second.
Repeat the process from 1-10 in each session about 5 to 10 times or more depending on situation, the availability of time and your capability of doing it. Do it daily.
During meditation, need not to imagine or visualize anything, just concentrate on the chosen number and the 5 center points. Beside these, during meditation it is advised that the body should not come in contact directly with the floor, therefore the use of mat or blanket or the like is a must. Or you may seat on a chair. The most important thing is, be relax. The back and neck should be straight. It is advised that the place and time should be fixed.
