Clip from Panel on Mantra by Dr Robert Svoboda at AYA Conference
The history of meditation goes back many thousands of years into antiquity itself. As part of the system of Yoga the principles were divinely received by the Rishis, (illumined sages of India) as a means of self salvation, allowing man a path back to union again with his divine creator, God.

These teachings were initially orally passed on by word of mouth from one illumined Brahmin Priest to another in the form of chants. These 100,000 couplets or verses form the body of knowledge known as the Vedas and were later written down forming part of the most ancient text on earth called the Mahabharata.

Archaeological sites in the Indus Valley in India and datable to 3000 BC reveal figures in a meditation posture used in the system of Yoga. So it seems evident that Yogic knowledge and meditation have been used for at least 5000 years.*
