12 Simple Daily Meditations

How to know Krishna? How to get a sense of who He is, a feeling towards Him? How can we think about Him naturally throughout the day and not just while we battle with our mind during our chanting practice? In other words, can we meditate off the mat and into the day?

Meditation is mind work. For some it’s emptying the mind of everything. For us it’s filling the mind with thoughts of Krishna. Letting the mind drift to His side, lean into His space and rest there.

Arjuna asked Krishna such a question – “How shall I constantly think of You, and how shall I know You? In what various forms are You to be remembered?” In the Gita’s beautiful poetic verses, Krishna invites us to breathe deep the extent of his presence everywhere and to let our minds connect with that. Simple, beautiful, daily meditations.

Here are my 12 favorites.

Of lights I am the radiant sun

Among stars I am the moon

Of bodies of water I am the ocean

I am inexhaustible time

Among beasts I am the lion

Of purifiers I am the wind

Of seasons I am flower-bearing spring

Of letters I am the letter A

Of the wise I am wisdom

Of the splendid I am the splendor

I am all devouring death and

I am the generating principle of all that is yet to be.
