Meditation

Meemaansaa
Investigation or analysis. A Sanskrit word meaning "investigation".  It is the name of an Aastik ("orthodox") school of Hindu philosophy whose primary enquiry is into the nature of Dharm based on close hermeneutics of the Ved. Its core tenets are ritualism (orthopraxy) , anti-asceticism and anti-mysticism. The central aim of the school is elucidation of the nature of Dharm, understood as a set ritual obligations and prerogatives to be performed properly. The nature of Dharm isn't accessible to reason or observation, and must be inferred from the authority of the revelation contained in the Ved, which are considered eternal, authorless (Apaurusheyatwa), and infallible.
Meemaansaa is strongly concerned with textual exegesis, and consequently gave rise to the study of philology and the philosophy of language. Its notion of Shabd "speech" as indivisible unity of sound and meaning (signifier and signified) is due to Bhartrihari (7th century). There are two Meemaansaa - Poorv Meemaansaa and Uttar Meemaansaa.

Meen
(1) The last Sign of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac - Pisces.  (2) Fish.

Megh Mani
Megh means clouds and Mani means gem, so Megh Mani means the gem which is born from clouds. Garud Puraan, Chapter LXIX (69) -"Soot Jee said... "A cloud-grown pearl rarely reaches this mortal globe, and usually falls to the lot of the celestials. By illuminating the four quarters of the sky with its native luster, a cloud-begotten pearl, like the Sun dispels the gloom of a cloudy day. Outshining the combined effulgence of the fire, the Moon, and the myriads of scintillating stars, such a pearl, like the dawn of day, can dispel the gloom of even the darkest night on earth. The whole earth, girdled by the four oceans containing innumerable gems in the fathomless depths, can not be deemed as the adequate price of such a pearl, even if she be covered over with layers of pure gold. A man, born in indigence and of humble parents, but happening to be the possessor of such a pearl, only through the transformation of a good deed done in a previous existence, is sure to be the paramount sovereign of the entire surface of the Earth. Not to the good deeds of the king alone, but to the better fortune of the whole humanity, should be ascribed the advent of such a man on earth, and no evil would ever strike the land to the extent of a thousand Yojan (a Yojan is about 8 to 9 miles) round the place of his birth."

Menhdee
Hina, or Heenaa, or Henna, also called Menhdee is a temporary body decoration that looks like a tattoo but isn't. It is fast, easy, painless and most importantly it is a beautiful form of natural body decoration. It lasts for about 12 days and then slowly fades away. Centuries of migration and cultural interaction makes it difficult to determine where particular traditions began. But there is some historical evidence that henna originated in ancient India as a ceremonial art form. Others believe that henna was introduced to India in the 12th century. It's been used for at least 5000 years as a cosmetic and for it's natural healing properties. There's also documentation that henna was used in ancient Egypt to stain the fingers and toes of the Pharaohs prior to mummification.

Henna is a small shrub called hawsonia inermis and is found in Eeraan, India, Pakistan, Egypt, and North Africa. The young leaves and twigs are ground into a fine paste or powder, then mixed with hot water and applied to fingernails, palms and hair to give them a reddish-orange color. In order to decorate hands and feet, henna is processed in a special way and packed in a cone for ease in decoration. During hot weather, henna acts as a cooling agent when applied to the palms of the hands and the bottoms of the feet in addition to leaving a deep reddish-brownish color on the skin. When used as a temporary tattoo henna is applied to the skin and then left to dry. For darker shades, it should be left for at least four hours before being brushed off. Once it is flaked or brushed off, the color left behind will darken over the next 12 hours or so.

Mental Worship
Worshipping in mind only is called mental worship. One can pronounce loudly or in his heart, doesn't matter.
