We become good at what we practice and most of us are experts at practicing distraction. We live in a society that trains us to multi-task and jump from one thing to another in an uncontrolled way. The great panacea for a world plagued by distraction is learning and practicing the art of concentration. Living as a Hindu monk for 10 years Dandapani was trained in understanding the mind. There he learned and practiced the fine art of bringing concentration into everyday life.

Spirituality is very scientific. Khurshed says, “The youth tend to think that spirituality is not scientific whereas in India, spirituality and science were never at loggerheads. In fact, all our scientists were saints. By using the power of their mind, they could calculate and invent unimaginable things for that time and age. One such is the rust-proof iron pillar standing in New Delhi. This iron pillar, made thousands of years ago, refuses to rust despite Delhi’s weather and pollution! The technology of that period cannot be repeated even today. This was achieved by delving deep into the secrets of the universe through meditation.”
