	Samadhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Samadhi is a term used in Hindu and Buddhist yogic meditation.
		Samadhi is also the Hindi word for a cenotaph, a structure commemorating the dead (akin to a tomb, but without remains).
		Samadhi, or concentration of the mind, is the second of the three parts of the Buddha's teaching: sila or conduct, samadhi or samatha (concentration), and pañña (wisdom).

		But discussing samadhi is worthwhile, because unless we're made aware of the possibility of wholeness, we may find it virtually impossible to start our journey toward it.
		Samadhi is the state in which we no longer experience reality through a grid; instead, we experience reality directly.
		Samadhi is the state in which you are aware on a cellular level of the underlying oneness of the universe.

	Realization.org: The Question of the Importance of Samadhi in Modern and Classical Advaita Vedanta
		Samadhi is said to be a fourth kind of consciousness: it is beyond the states of waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep.
		It is evident from this brief statement that Sankara does not consider the attainment of samadhi to be a sufficient cause to eradicate false knowledge, and, according to Sankara, since false knowledge is the cause of bondage, samadhi cannot therefore be the cause of liberation.
		Clearly the modem Vedantins, in their expectation that samadhi is the key to the liberating oneness, have revalued the word and have given it a meaning which it does not bear in the yoga texts.

		Samadhi is not a straining concentration on one point, nor is the mind forcibly directed to an object.
		Three (lokottara) types of samadhi are distinguished that have as their goal emptiness (shunyata), the state of characteristiclessness (animitta) and freedom from discrimination of knowledge of nirvana.
		This form is contrasted to asamprajnata ("supracons-cious"), the highest level of samadhi, which is desirelessness, feelinglessness, thoughtlessness and behaviorlessness (nirbija-samadhi), since all limitations (kleshas) have been overcome, all desires (vasnas) extinguished, and the cycle of unhappiness is overcome.

	Hatha Yoga Pradipika (Samadhi)
		Samadhi, of course, is not the only way to liberation, but it is the most radical and within the framework of this particular yoga the most essential.
		For the yogi approaching samadhi, the process is reversed: he has recognized the meaningful germ, bindu, within himself, and knows that the divine vibrations in him were merely released by the sattva element in the outside stimulation.
		Dissolution is samadhi; re-creation is shambhavi mudra, work with the sound symbol (mantra) and the image symbol (yantra), the source of inner light.

		Thus, samadhi refers to the union of the contemplating being with the object of contemplation.
		There are various stages of samadhi, depending upon whether one is identified with the object while yet conscious of the object, or whether one has transcended the object of meditation and is resting in the experience of being, without conceptual support or without support of any aspect of Consciousness.
		The person capable of samadhi retains his or her individuality and person, but is free of the emotional attachment to it.

	Nirbija Samadhi
		Samadhi (not further qualified as dharma-megha-samadhi in the text) is described as "that condition in which the mind gradually abandons the notion of meditator and meditation and is merged in the object of meditation." In that condition the mind is likened to a steady flame of a lamp in a well-sheltered place.
		The effect of this Samadhi is the destruction of all Karma accumulated over innumerable lives and the "growth of pure Dharma." The experts in yoga call this Samadhi dharma-megha because it pours forth countless showers of the nectar of Dharma.
		Through this Samadhi the net of vasana is destroyed and meritorious as well as nonmeritorious Karma is rooted out.
