The Meditation Room

Have a separate meditation room  cinder lock and key. Never allow anyone to enter the room. Keep it sacred. If you cannot afford to have a special room for on contemplative purposes and for practising Pranayam, have a place in the corner of a quiet room, set apart for this purpose. Have it screened. Place the photo of your Guru or Ishta Devata in the room in front of your Asan. Do Pooja daily for the picture, physically and mentally, before you start meditation and Pranayam. Burn incense in the room or burn Agarbatti (incense sticks). 

 Keep some sacred books there such as Ramayan, Srimad Bhagavatam, Gita, Upanishads, Yoga-Vasishta, Bible,Quran etc., for your daily study. Spread a four-folded blanket and over it a piece of soft white cloth. This will serve the purpose of an Asan. Or spread an Asan of Kusa grass. Over it spread a deer or tiger skin. Sit on this Asan for practising Pranayam and meditation. You can have a raised platform made up of cement. Over this you can spread your Asan. Small insects, ante etc., will not molest you. When you sit on the Asan keep your head, neck and trunk in a straight line. By doing so, the spinal cord that lies with the spinal column will be quite free.
