The Process and Gains of Meditation
Ahmedabad: Meditation has a long history dating back thousands of years to antiquity. The concepts of Yoga were divinely received by the Rishis (India’s enlightened elders) as a way of self-salvation, allowing a man to return to unity with his divine creator, God.
Meditation is the seventh stage toward spiritualism, according to the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, with samadhi—union with the creator being the eighth.
