Vipassana Meditation -- http://www.dhamma.org
The technique of Vipassana
Meditation
is a simple, practical way to achieve real peace of mind and lead a
happy,
useful life.
Vipassana means "to see things as they really,
are";
and is a logical process of mental
purification
through self-observation.
Vipassana is one of India's most ancient
meditation
techniques. it was rediscovered 2500 years ago by
Gotama
the Buddha, and is the essence of what he practiced and taught
during his forty-five years of teaching.
In our time, Vipassana has been reintroduced
to India, as well as to people from more than eighty other
countries, by Mr. U. S.N. Goenka.

Mata Amritanandamayi is an embodiment of
unconditional
love, devoted to the service of all humanity.
So open is she, so approachable and accessible,
that people have come to realize in her that
archetypal, universal 'Mother-Love',
at once personal yet boundless like a vast
ocean, beating softly on the shores of troubled minds and searching
hearts.
Ramana Maharshi -- http://www.ramana-maharshi.org/
Every living being longs always to be
happy,
untainted by sorrow; and everyone has the
greatest love for himself, which is solely
due to the fact that happiness is his real nature.
Hence, in order to realize that inherent and
untainted happiness, which indeed he daily
experiences when the mind is subdued in deep
sleep, it is essential that he should know himself.
For obtaining such knowledge the enquiry 'Who
am I?' in quest of the Self is the best means.
