Bliss, Satchidananda and Samadhi
In Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami's most recent upadesha, He discusses various levels of realization and samadhi. In short, the experience of ananda in savikalpa samadhi has to cease before you can dive deeper into nirvikalpa samadhi. Agitations of the mind are released by the attainment of shanti in the anahata and vishuddha chakras. These distinctions are important for understanding where we are in consciousness. The realization of one's self as a soul is the first stage of Self Realization, then Satchidanada, then Parasiva. Aum Namah Sivaya
