This is MEDITATION???
No.
''We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees, flowers, grass -- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls. ''
In Vedic culture and debate it is customary to ask people where they get their info from (e.g. what ancient parampara?). To the comments you mention, one might also ask what is your end goal? Who do you love, and why? And where to you want to be in 100 years time (i.e. after death). Would you like to go floating out into the deep ocean of nothingness, or would you like to be a blade of grass next life? You make a comment about God and silence. How do you know that? Did He / She tell you?! :-)
@ShaktipatSeer No. my Guruji told it. For reach real meditation mind you must stay in silence. Btw - उतमस्तवा दुच्चमन्दतः । चित्तजं जप ध्यानमुत्तमम् ।।६।। - Loud repetition of His name is better than praise. Better still is its faint muttering. But the best is its mental repetition. It is meditation as aforesaid.
Srila Prabhupada, the ultimate spiritual authority for everybody who respects ISKCON, explains what Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu explains re. the philosophy known as acintya bheda bheda tattva.
Basically, in one sense, everything is God in the sense that everything is connected to the Supreme. Still, ultimately, the Supreme Being is a person, and this is the highest understanding. This person has many names, but the Bhagavat Purana prefers the name 'Krishna'.
Someone may think "'God as a person' ....good God, that sounds a bit fanatical". "Who ever gave them that idea?"
Well, if you look around and see the world as being designed by intelligence (e.g. a human designs a computer, but the human body itself is much more complex than any computer, so you begin to think 'oh maybe this body that I go around in had an original designer as well...)
Then you get to the stage of understanding that there is some super intelligent force in the cosmos...
So there is a great force or energy out there...but what does that mean? And how can we communicate with this Force? Well I'm a person, you (the reader) is a person, and our parents' parents were persons. Even someone's pet dog has an individual personality. Does someone want to deny God what even a pet dog has?
Ultimately the Vedic texts of ancient India bring one to the conclusion that God is a person, and then they give information about this person. Read AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Mrgyn makes a comment that Krishna is a 'Hindu deity' and not 'God', the supreme being. That is his opinion.
Well, respected acaryas such as A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada point out that the Bhagavat Purana explains 'Krishnas tu bhagavan svayam', in Canto 1. There are many avatars of the Supreme, but Krishna is the source of all. He is the source of even Vishnu.
It's just up to everyone to thoroughly investigate the matter, and then decide who they are going believe. Good luck!
don't really understand the question, as that is what he does: He chants the Panca Tattva mantra before chanting the rounds of the maha-mantra...but thanks for tuning in anyhow.
I've been chantinglike this for 5 years now, and although externally it doesnt appear as meditation to some, believe me it's powerful.
There's something in the combination of syllables that has its own potency to awaken the attentive chanter.

Does not depend on your throat or your effort, depends on if your initiator Guru is truly a MASTER.
A true Master does all the work, the disciple is led only.
Go get a Living Master of the highest level. This is my sincere advice.

@ShaktipatSeer the silence is behind the vibration. watch the vibrations and they wil depart. then follow the light.
