Meditation Begins at Birth

    This is Saradadevii from Croatia, and baby Shantana - who is considerably more bubbly and boisterous these days. A beautiful, blond toddler.

    Taken at Madhu Karuna, near Mainz, Germany. Summer 2004 at the Ananda Marga Summer Conference.

      I don't know why I find this so attractive, but it's really just a great shot. there's something really appealing in the serenity they both seem to have.

      Thank you, Origomi. I intend to start taking some more pictures of people meditating. There really is something powerfully still that can be communicated.

      I wish all children grew up like that in the peace of mind :) Though children do not need meditation. They are born pure. I hope one day children at school will learn about the real life and will not have their heads filled with foolish stuff

      Lovely shot, I meditated while pregnant, but this is the ultimate meditation! This baby is meant to be a being of light.

      What a lovely photo! It really brought me back to when my son was a little guy, and he would tuck himself in with me when I meditated. He's a grown man now, so that's been a long time ago. Thanks for taking me back there for a moment! :)
