Yoga & Meditation
The Dewey Decimal number for meditation is typically in the 200s, specifically around 291.4 to 296.6, depending on the specific focus or practice of meditation.
Meditation allows a person to relax. However Buddhists believe the practice can elevate a person to ultimate enlightenment.
* Meditation is part of yoga. Basically, yoga can be divided into two parts - physical practice (gymnastics) and mental practice (meditation). In modern world, yoga is often understood as gymnastics, which is wrong. Gymnastics is only a small part of yoga. The goal of yoga is to succeed in meditation. * Meditation can be practiced on its own or as a component of some other therapies, such as yoga, tai chi, and qi gong.
The Hindi name Yogesh means "lord of yoga" or "master of meditation". It is a combination of the words "yoga" which means the spiritual practice of meditation and "isha" which means lord or ruler.
The two words are sometimes used interchangeably. In terms of the meanings of the two words, the word "meditation" is wider than the word "yoga." It is possible to meditate about something merely by musing about it or thinking about it. It is also possible to restrict the word "meditation" to refer to a breathing (spiritual) practice such as zazen meditation. Since yoga is a disciplined method for uniting the mind, zazen meditation (as well as other kinds of breathing practices) are kinds of yoga. Therefore, the meanings of the words overlap, but "meditation" has a wider connotation.
No. According to Hinduism, Yoga was brought to us by Krishna an Avatar of Vishnu. Yoga was first document by Patanjali. There is some debate as to when exactly Yoga is first mentioned, but it appears to me that it came after The Buddha. Many Yoga principals were probably around during the Buddha's time. Yoga and Buddhism are complimentary since the aim of both is stabilizing the mind; yoga doing this through the use of the body and the breath.
Yoga is a series of physical exercises to help prepare you for meditation. Meditation is the ultimate goal of yoga.
He does not define himself by any "religion", but uses yoga and other calming techniques to practice meditation.
The form of yoga that uses meditation is known as Dhyana yoga. There are many forms, it can be called Raja yoga or king of yoga. It can be call the Patanjali yoga which takes you to samadhi. Therefore the names are plenty, but we should not get worried about the name. We should understand what that form of yoga, of meditation is - it is silence. It is being able to switch off, it is being able to become the witness, the observer. That meditation which gives you Dhyana or concentration gives you consciousness, you become conscious that you are the Divine Soul. You are not the body, you observe the mind as it wanders. This is Dhyana yoga or the yoga of silent meditation.
