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.
