Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 14 August 1901
Bought a meditation-mat and also a bronze Buddha.
Nadi-Yama 10 minutes in the Saivit eposture, in which my body-seat fits exactly into a square of about 18 inches forming the letter Aleph.
Mantra (N[amo] S[hivaya] N[amaha] A[um]). At the 28th minute got faint sounds like a musical box worked by a mallet on metal bars. As I stopped I heard a piano very distant. The intense attention requisite to try to catch the subtle sounds of the Universe when in Rechaka prevents Mantra, as my mental muttering is not yet absolutely perfect.
