Chapter 3: The Philosophy of Mindfulness in Hinduism

Hinduism offers a rich tradition of mindfulness through practices like Yoga and Vedanta. Yoga involves physical postures, breath control, and meditation to unite the mind, body, and spirit. Vedanta teaches that realizing the oneness of the self (Atman) with the ultimate reality (Brahman) is the goal of spiritual practice. Techniques like Japa (mantra repetition), Bhakti (devotion), and meditation help cultivate mindfulness and lead to spiritual growth and self-realization.
