Meditation calms the mind, bringing full awareness, peace and joy among other benefits to oneself.
Meditation is just sustained concentration which in fact should be practiced during any task. Nonetheless, this concentration is emphasized during any yoga practice and specially in meditation, when certainly there is nothing else to do.
It is hard not to see such sustained concentration for long periods as a waste of time, but this is just a tendency of the mind, looking for more things through fear and desire, instead of looking for feeling better.

Yoga is an integral part of Hindu spiritualism. It is practiced in many forms. Sahaj Yoga is the easiest and the most common form of Yoga, practiced by most common people.
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.
Yoga is a series of physical exercises to help prepare you for meditation. Meditation is the ultimate goal of yoga.
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.
