Dear Rohit, What I have to say may not sound welcome at first reading but I offer it for what it is made worth for you by you. Do not ask of other's experiences or try to be guided by other's input in meditation. Each meditational experience is a UNIQUE Path of a Unique Immortal Soul to the One Supreme. Inputs from others about how this works are iether heresay or even if personal experiences they are UNIQUE to thsoe people. Other experiences will make you either block or seek some experiences during your own meditation believing x is good and y is not so good. If The Supreme is making you increasingly attached to the image of Narayana, meditate on it and "Trust" it Completely. This helps develop and strengthen FAITH. So Do not try ot gather faith and "knowledge" by asking anybody else, do not speak about this anymore Rohit, do not search externally from others or from books or form net etc. for what others' experiences are/were. Go Alone..or rather should I say Go with Narayana and no one else. If you meditate regularly yes, you Will have Visions of other "beings" but if you assume each is a God, you will be deeply misled. Many visions are of hostile forces that come in to mislead you. Even if a Vision is a God, what matters that to you for you are beckoned by Narayana is it not? So just stay with the Imagery of Narayana whatever image of Him feels right for that meditation phase. ALL other visions are just a movie to be simply watched without any agitation for they mean nothing to you. Stay with Narayana image AT ALL TIMES (as you are inherently feeling driven towards) and you will be fine. May you be well.

I liked your note but slightly discomfited on just one count...as below: आत्मसंभाविता: स्तब्धा धनमानमदान्विता: यजन्ते नामयज्ञैस्ते दम्भेनाविधिपूर्वकम् ।।16-17।। आत्मसंभाविता: = अपने आपको ही श्रेष्ठ मानने वाले ; स्तब्धा: = घमण्डी पुरुष ; धनमानमदान्विता: = धन और मान के मद से युक्त; अविधिपूर्वकम् = शास्त्रविधि से रहित ; नामयज्ञै: = केवल नाममा़त्र के यज्ञों द्वारा ; दम्भेन = पाखण्ड से ; यजन्ते = यजन करते हैं ; इदं ते नातपस्काय नाभक्ताय कदाचन । न चाशुश्रूषवे वाच्यं न च मां योअ्भ्यसूयति ॥१८–६७॥ You should never disclose this science to one devoid of austerities, nor to one who is not devoted, nor to one adverse to spiritual advancement and NEVER TO ANYONE who is envious of Me.

"Only pious people can recognise the essence of vedas (not ignorant ones)." This statement I find myself in complete agreement with you;-) त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरभिः सर्वमिदं जगत् । मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम् ॥७–१३ This (इदं) complete universe (जगत् सर्वम्) is deluded (मोहितं) with the threefold condition of modes of the external energy or 'gunas' (त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरभिः); Certainly no one knows (नाभिजानाति) Me (माम) who is beyond them (एभ्यः), Immutable (अव्ययम्) and Eternally Supreme (परम).
