Hindus welcome American singer-actress Miley Cyrus' championing of 'meditation'
Hindus have welcomed American singer-actress Miley Cyrus’
reported advocacy of meditation.
In a recent television program “The Conversation with Amanda de
Cadenet”, she urged other girls to “Wake-up…be by yourself, go
meditate, go spend 10 minutes like really looking at yourself”.
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada
(USA) today, commended Cyrus for endorsing meditation to younger
generations who could easily get lost amidst so many distractions
in the consumerist society. It was a “step in the right direction”
to make positive changes in the lives of today’s youth, Zed
added.
In the past, Cyrus apparently expressed belief into the concept of
reincarnation when she mentioned in a Tweet: “For my next life can
I please come back as some form of marine life?” She reportedly
carries a tattoo of Hindu religious symbol ‘Om’ on her right wrist
and ‘karma’ is tattooed on her right index finger. She has licensed
an online “Miley’s Meditation” game which shows animated Cyrus
meditating.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out
that Hinduism had been associated with meditation for ages. There
were various aspects of it, including pratyahara, upasana, samadhi,
manana, dhyana, dharana.
Welcoming Cyrus’ interest in concepts and symbols of Hinduism,
Rajan Zed invited her to look deeper into the rich philosophical
thought which Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the
world, offered.
