ANNADANAM IN INDIA

FROM SAI SATCHARITA

Meditate always on my formless nature which is Knowledge Incarnate, Consciousness and Bliss.If you cannot visualise that, then follow the physical image of mine. Bring my image from head to foot, in front of your mind's eye. When you thus concentrate on me, the functions of your mind will unite and the distinction between the meditator, the act of meditation and the object meditated upon will vanish.
