Origin of Meditation

 
Meditation originated in India long time ago. The knowledge of meditation is difficult to describe in a few words. Few people knew where it started. Lord Shiva meditated for a long time to get his wife. The earliest written evidence of the practice of meditation is from 5000 to 3000 wall art in the Indian subcontinent showing people with half-closed eyes.






    

The oldest written mention of meditation is believed to be in the Vedas from 1500 BC, but according to some beliefs it is considered to be memorized. At that time people were sent to Gurukul, which was mostly located in forests, those people used to live under their Guru and used to remember the knowledge of words only through mouth.


Meditation was meant for religious people who tried to transcend the limits of human life to attain divine power. Yogis meditating in caves in Hindu traditions. This is the oldest meditation tradition in the earth that is still alive. First of all meditation was practiced by chanting Mantra and looking at an object with the second gaze has become a movement of meditation in the modern era and many postures have been done Emphasis on mudras and breathing exercises. Yoga is not the only thing suited in these hundreds of schools, it is a knowledge tradition that has developed core meditation and spirituality. It is not only about breathing in and out of air but it is a way reaching ultimate trans state of human conscience. 

Almost all Hindu posts talk about the science of meditation, so we can assume that this meditation is an integral part of knowledge and all this was done from the Mukhi group itself. 



According to Hindu belief, since the beginning of human beings, that era has been considered as Sat Yuga. The seven Manas sons of Brahma (Atri, Pulastya, Marichi, Bhrigu, Vasistha, Daksha and Narada) had taken the revolution of meditation in Sat Yuga, they used to spend most of their time in meditation.


Now you all must have understood that it is not so easy to do meditation as you understand.
