Origins
Vedic Meditation is one of the oldest, most effortless and natural meditation practices.
The word “Vedic” comes from the Sanskrit word “Veda,” meaning knowledge. The Veda is a body of knowledge originating in India over 5000 years ago inspired by the principal human desire to understand human consciousness and master the laws of nature. It is the umbrella body of knowledge that gave us yoga, ayurveda and this meditation.
Vedic Meditation is the crown jewel of the Veda and has been passed on through an unbroken line of Vedic Master teachers over thousands of years, maintaining the purity of this meditation, and how it is taught, to this day. This technique was developed and designed for everyday people with busy lives, jobs and families. It has been practiced by such “householders” for thousands of years.
