I just spent a bit over an hour meditating on nam in a dark room and it was the most intense mediation (or deepest) I've ever gotten in the years I've been meditating. It was wicked awesome. I usually just see blackness with my eyes closed, but today, I started feeling something coming over my eyes and then everything just turned pure white. I wonder if the whiteness was me going into a deeper level or if its something physiological?

That sounds very cool!
I have tried meditating several times, I always forget to do it but I do like doing it.
if I may ask, what is nam?

Nam is Punjabi for "name". A Sikh practice is to meditate by saying the Sikh word for god, which is Vaheguru. So, you meditate by saying "Vaheguru" over and over again, either outloud or in your head. The theory is that by repeatedly saying nam you're cleansing your mind and helping to reconnect your soul with the guru.

That's cool I love those moments where meditation gets good like that. In most Eastern religious thought white is the color of the void of the universal emptiness from which all things arise. So that may or may not have any and/or everything to do with your experience.
Sikhi is such a cool religion, it is such a wonderful synthesis of Hindu and Islamic thought that really blossomed into it's own being. Plus Sikhs are badass ;D
