Gurudev, is the direction of meditation important. I have heard that one should not sleep with the head in the north direction.
Yes, because the magnetic currents are flowing in that direction therefore it is better not to sleep with head in that direction.
But during meditation, you can sit facing the sun. If the sun has set, then you face to the north. It doesn’t matter in which direction you sit for meditation. Direction is relevant only to the body. In meditation you go into the formless aspect of consciousness. It is same everywhere. So it really doesn’t matter.
But for japa (meditative repetition of mantra) or pooja (worshipping) usually you sit facing east, north or north east. During these also we sit in the south direction sometimes. No problem.
