Spiritualism

To practice meditation one should  select a secluded spot, sit there with his back erect but not tense, withdraw his mind from sense objects, and concentrate only on god by withdrawing into a shell within the body. Practice Pranayama (breathing in breathing out steadily) for that is the key towards concentration on the divine and good health.

There are broadly five categories of devotion to god namely Sant Bhakti (saintly devotion),  Dasa Bhakti (Devotion as servant of god),  Pitra Bhakti (Parental love for god),  Mitra Bhakti (Devotion as a friend) and Vatsalya Bhakti (Conjugal love for god).

Whereas all five are divine and noble, yet whereas Dasa Bhakti (Servant of god) is mostly by male devotees, Vatsalya Bhakti (Conjugal love) is mostly a preserve of the female devotees.
