Answer
1. There are basically two kinds of Samadhi. Savikalpa (Sabija) and Nirvikalpa (Nirbija) Samadhi. These have been explained in past answers.
2. Practice Dharana & Dhyana for a few years (as explained in past answers) with unbroken Brahmacharya. You will then reach Savikalpa Samadhi which has 6 stages. The answer will then become clear. It should be experienced. It cannot be described.
3. Shri. Lahari Mahasaya was an established Brahmachari and Yogi even before he met Mahavatar Babaji.
4. It is Sarvam Khalvidam Brahman meaning Everything is verily the Brahman (Almighty). Correct the spelling mistakes. Samskrut words describing the Lord should be spelt properly, or they give other meanings.
