Sampragnata Samadhi Experience of Paramahamsa Nithyananda



in this discourse in the Patanjali Yoga Sutra series (sutra 17) Nithyananda talks about his experience w Ganesha eating food and uses this story to illustrate Vitarka, right reasoning, that leads to Ananda, flowering of bliss. Vichara, contemplation, leads to Asmita, pure awareness.
the first is to be practiced 24/7 as a lifestyle, the latter as a technique 30-50 minutes a day. when both Ananda and Asmita are experienced, Sampragnata Samadhi happens which is the first level Samadhi.
