Is Vedic Meditation Religious?
Manage episode 293225140 series 2879506
Vedic Meditation teachers are often asked if the practice is a religious practice. Its ancient roots and the reverence that we sometimes approach it with can have the appearance of being religious, but this is largely due to misunderstandings of what the word religion actually means.
In short, the practice of Vedic Meditation doesn’t require any belief. It works for believers and non-believers alike and doesn’t favor one over the other. Practitioners of all religions practice the technique every day, as do practitioners of no religion, all with equal efficacy.
Listen in as Thom explains the true meaning of religion and why Vedic Meditation transcends religious difference, while at the same time enhancing whatever religious understanding you may or may not have.
Episode Highlights:
[00:40] The True Meaning of Religion
[02:15] “I’m not religious, I’m spiritual.”
[03:35] No Commandments
[04:33] Compatibility With Religion and Atheism
[06:00] A Better Understanding
