Before your visit

Code of conduct

Kindly understand and follow these for your spiritual progress at Dhyana (Mano) Prasthan.

Coming to the centre

Prepare

Take a head bath and dress in white — kurta-pyjama for gents, a light-coloured salwar suit or sari for ladies.
Wash your feet and hands with the water kept at the entrance, and sprinkle haldi water on yourself.
Sit in the rows marked for gents and ladies.
New members: please register your name, address and phone number so we can tell you about future activities.
Take vegetarian food on the day, and no solid food for 2 hours before — come with an empty stomach.
Ladies are requested not to attend during the menstrual period (6 days).

In the hall

Keep silence in the meditation hall. If you must talk, step out, finish, and come back in.
Practise at least 45 minutes of meditation, after the breathing process shown by the volunteers.
In group discussions led by Guruji, share your view without hesitation and without debate — respect the feelings of others.

Meeting Guruji

Remove all metal things — belt and so on — to receive the spiritual energy fully.
Be precise, ask with a purpose, do not repeat questions, and keep it short so others need not wait long.
At the end Guruji gives prasadam — ask the volunteers how to take it.
Before leaving, write your experience in the register kept for it.
