Everyone’s meditating these days. ‘They want to get o~ their lotus flowers and get some work done,’ said my cab driver on the way home. It’s a statement that would not be lost on Will Williams – in fact, before he discovered Vedic (or transcendental) meditation, it may well have been the sort of sentiment to cross his lips.
Williams is a pleasing contradiction – once a fun-loving city boy, he now dedicates his life to being a master of this ancient art. The first time I meet him, he steps into the room with a look of such beatific calm on his face, I feel as if I’m in the presence of something holy. He listens, contemplates, and responds richly; he understands the science behind meditation with rare acumen – and relays it with passion.
