When I started meditating, I honed in on what is called in Sanskrit the nadam sound. Dr. Mishra, in both his yoga books, clearly and distinctly explained nadam. As far back as 2,500 years ago, Patanjali wrote widely of what the nadam sound meant. I had heard it months before, and I had asked Dr. Mishra about it. I had been meditating with him in a group, and all of a sudden, I was aware of buzzing in my ears. After that meditation, I went to Dr. Mishra and asked whether I could ask him a question.

He said, “Yes, yes, yes, yes.”

I said, “Doctor, during my meditation, I just heard buzzing in my head.”

He said, “Explain more.”
