About Competition

THE PRACTISE OF MEDITATION

Meditation, a process synonymous with achieving a mental state of tranquillity or training the mind to achieve alternate consciousness, is one that is an age-old tradition followed in various parts of the world. The oldest traces of it can be found in Indian records dating to 1500 BCE, although the origin of the practice is still debated upon. Many famous individuals are credited across cultures for propagating and creating different paths and methods to achieving this state of mind. 

This practice spread around the world and to the west around the 1700s when the scriptures were transported to various places containing references to these meditation techniques. Some of these include famous ones such as the Bhagavad Gita, Buddhist scriptures and the Upanishads. 

For a long time, this practice was only seen as of importance for philosophers and their studies, until the 20th century when a prominent figure gave a speech about the practice in the US and the practice became a widely adopted one.
