"From Chaos to Calm" delves into the art of meditation through the insightful guidance of Dada Rainjitananda, who explores the complex structure of the mind as outlined in Yoga. This exploration categorizes the mind into five distinct layers, each with its own unique traits and potential for growth. Dada Rainjitananda not only unveils these layers but also illustrates how meditation can serve as a bridge to access and nurture the latent abilities within them. The introduction of a universal mantra offers a practical tool for this journey, recommending its use in meditation for at least five minutes, twice daily, to establish a consistent practice.
