How important is rhythm when performing meditation?
I d/l an MP3 of a taraka meditation (I believe that's what it is):
Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama
Listening to the MP3, and trying to duplicate it exactly is frustrating...How important is repeating the mantra in the exact rhythm and speed. I've read on-line that it's very important, and you will not benefit from meditating if you do not repeat it properly.
Thanks,

You will hear lots of people saying different things about mantra meditation. I have not heard that you need to have an exact rhythm to the mantra, in fact I've heard the opposite, that you can vary the speed of the mantra to suit your individual needs. I would say the intention of the mantra is most important, with the correct pronunciation a close second.
Namaste,

Yogic Wisdom |
There are three classes of devotees. The lowest one says, "God is up there," and he points to heaven. The mediocre devotee says that God dwells in the heart as the "Inner Controller." But the highest devotee says: "God alone has become everything. All things that we perceive are so many forms of God."
