Welcome to Varanasi

A city as old as time. A city that has seen the world turn, tides change and generations of humans born and die. Varanasi or Kashi, which has been standing the tests of time for over 5000 years is said to be done of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. In Mark Twain's words, " Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legand, and looks twice as old as all of them put together. "

One thing has to be remembered about meditation; it is a long journey and there is no shortcut. Anyone who says there is a shortcut is befooling you. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.

A man becoming a meditator is the greatest responsibility in the world. It is not easy. it cannot be instant. So from the beginning never start expecting too much and then you will never be frustated. You will always be happy because things will grow very slowly.

Meditation is not a seasonal flower which within six weeks is there. It is a very very big tree. It needs time to spread its roots.- OSHO
