Beginning of the beginning, January 25, 2007
Reviewer: G. Hunter Lester (San Carlos, CA USA)
This is the foundation of any spiritual practice. This simple practice will allow the practioner to get back "in tune" with his or her innate stillness/center/calm mind/pure consciousness. From there, all else is possible. All that is necessary for deep meditation is 10 to 20 minutes, twice a day, and no more. This is a clear and simple instruction manual void of confusion and clutter. Enjoy and have fun with this deep dive into yourself!

Truly awesome!, January 19, 2007
Reviewer: grim magus "grim magus" (los angeles, ca)
Deep Meditation is a great book! Meditation is one of the most misunderstood endeavors imaginable. But Yogani explains it in plain English, in a very accessible way for most people. His method is both incredibly simple and yet so powerful. The author stresses that the practice should be tried for oneself and blind faith should not be relied upon. If the reader makes a sincere attempt at these practices, the promises of inner peace and divine ecstacy will be fulfilled. I say this from experience. But don't listen to me.... see for yourself.

Practical and no-nonsense, June 8, 2006
Reviewer: Alvin Chan (Hong Kong)
There is no need to justify the well-known benefits of meditation, but to learn it properly is still quite a challenge for many. Not because meditation is difficult to learn from a book, but most of us (including most guru) tends to make it difficult. See the many books you could find on meditation. Most of them talk excessively about chakras, complicated relaxation method, etc, only to distract the beginners from mastering what's really simple but important!

If you want to get real benefits from meditation in stead of learning the "theory", buy this book.

Don't Be Fooled, May 27, 2006
Reviewer: C. Myers III "corebe" (Edmonton, AB Canada)
Don't be fooled by it's small size, it is a gem and the simple, concise and clear instructions in this book are enough to take you into your own True Essence. I have been meditating for over 20 years and have found this little book to contain the essence of meditation practice. As a 'true' westerner, I have been given to various experiments over these years....save lots of wasted time and follow the deep simple path started by Yogani in this and and the further books of this series.

Look no further, April 9, 2006
Reviewer: B. Wilkin (Miami Beach, FL USA)
Within the pages of Deep Meditation, Yogani has successfully created an extremely easy to follow "how to" guide on this timeless practice. The book wastes no time in diving right into the actual process of meditation, and getting the reader started on their own pathway to personal freedom. As the book moves further along, the author answers commonly asked questions followed by a series of scenarios that a meditator might confront during their practices. The most important points are repeated throughout the entire book, making a lasting impression on the reader to take with them into their practices.

If you are looking for information on meditation, or you have the desire to start a practice of your own, you need look no further. This is the book for you.

Effective Meditation and Yoga Practices, February 25, 2006
Reviewer: G. Smith (USA)
The text is easy to understand and very down to earth. The methods are easy to fit into a contemporary lifestyle. I've been doing these practices for about 4 months now. I'd been an insomniac for years and am getting more sound sleep since starting this meditation. If I miss a day or two of meditation, my sleep starts to suffer, so I know it is having a direct effect. From following the practices Yogani describes in this book, I feel a much more calm life quality and I'm gradually becoming more in tune with myself and everything around me.

Reviewer: Tygerlily's Read (Deltona, FL)
I haven't finished reading this book quite yet. However, what I have read is easily understood and easy to follow. I bought this book because I know that I need to meditate for my overall health, and this is the book that will get me on that path. Now...if I would just finish reading it!

Finally a complete guide to achieving deep meditation, January 16, 2006
Reviewer: A
I thought Yogani's "Deep Meditation" Pathway to Personal Freedom was an excellent and insightful read. It helped me to really understand the way to approach meditation and has certainly accelerated my progress down the spiritual path. I think it is a great resource and given its small size and readability, makes for an excellent way to share meditation with friends and family in a way that will inspire them to try it.

Deep Meditation also offers some material and insights not covered in his other books, I really enjoyed reading it and recommend it highly.

The best guide on deep meditation, December 29, 2005
Reviewer: weaver (USA)
Yogani's new book Deep Meditation is the first book I have read that at the same time is a scientific description of the process of deep meditation, and a comprehensive guide on how to use it in our daily life. It is generally known that meditation has a calming effect on the mind and can relieve stress, however Yogani takes the subject much farther and describes how deep meditation can take us all the way to enlightenment. This is really what captured my attention the most.
The book is written in a language that is very easy to understand, without using any complicated terms or grammar. The process of how to meditate is very simple and can be stated on just one page, which it is, but one of the great strengths of the presentation is that it covers almost all possible aspects of how meditation can be seamlessly integrated into any lifestyle.
It is a small book of about 100 pages that can be carried in a pocket anywhere. I would strongly recommend it for anybody on the path of self-realisation, as well as for anybody interested in improving their life in general, since both our own life and those around us will be affected by our state of mind.

Learn Meditation from the Master, December 24, 2005
Reviewer: nearoanoke (California, USA)
Meditation is the single and most effective practice that can lead to self-realization. But our progress in meditation can be slowed down by lot of wrong notions that we have about it. For example are thoughts in meditation a good sign or a bad sign? The general myth is that thoughts are a distraction from the mantra and hence bad. The author of the book explains in a very effective way why thoughts are not bad. The way he explains how we touch the "inner silence" with every loss of mantra is simply mindblowing. Only somebody who has really mastered the art of meditation can explain the science behind it so clearly.


This book is a wonderful guide on not just how to meditate, but also how to do it really effectively. The author clears up lot of myths about meditation that people have. Having practised this method for long enough and having seen the results for myself, I can vouch for the effectiveness of the method suggested in this book. The method suggested here can be easily incorporated into day2day life and can do wonders to your life. I strongly recommend this to everyone, from people just starting in meditation to advanced meditators.

Complete., December 22, 2005
Reviewer: Bill (Texas)
This small volume is a complete guide to an effective, life changing meditation. This manual explains the technique in a few pages and then goes on to explain how to react to various symptoms of purification of the nervous system. Pain, thoughts, and other distractions are covered then symptoms beyone the mental and physical realm are given consideration. The gist of the book is availabe on the authors website (aypsite.org) however this book goes into greater detail on how to meditate properly.

I have read a couple dozen books on medition and tried several different techniqes over the years and have found the technique described in this book and on the webiste mentioned above to be the easiest, most effective, and most plesant. If you have any questions you can ask the forum, or the author himself, each are happy to answer any questions or help with any problems you may have.

Deep and EASY meditation lessons!, December 14, 2005
Reviewer: Ramón Sender Barayón (http://www.raysender.com) (San Francisco, CA USA)
I echo the previous reviewer David's enthusiasm! If you have tried to meditate and become discouraged, this is the book for you. Both beginners and experienced meditators will find this slim book contains everything they need to access states of alert relaxation in simple, easy-to-accomplish steps.

I must own at least twenty books on various meditation methods, and Yogani's silent mantra approach is the most easily accessible of all the ones I've tried.

What I find so useful about Yogani's approach is that the silent mantra can continue anywhere you go. On the bus yesterday I was amused to notice how every sound I heard became the mantra reflected back at me. So meditation becomes not just sitting for 20 minutes twice a day, but allowing the meditative state to overflow into all your activities. Once you have 'tasted' Yogani's gentle approach in this volume, you may want to access his Advanced Yoga Pracitices lessons also. Excellent teachings!

the best meditation booklet in existence, December 12, 2005
Reviewer: David R. (Providence, RI USA)

This may be the most clear, consise and complete meditation instruction booklet in existence.

Do not let its small size and low price mislead you -- Yogani has put a lot of great work into making it small and accessible.

The meditation technique taught inside it is at once one of the simplest as well as one of the most powerful for producing spiritual transformation. It was used by the sages of India throughout the ages, and also in various monastries and spiritual communities throughout the world, including some of the Desert Fathers of early Christianity. It was brought into some prominence in the West by Sivananda and others over the last century.

Yogani teaches it expertly. Read every word with care.

Whether you are new to meditation, or have meditated before in which case it will be great review, read it, follow the practice, and read it again occasionally. Like its author, it will be a gentle, unassuming, but very powerful guide.
