A voluminous amount of research on the multi-faceted complex process of meditation is now available. Meditation [Dhyan], an ancient Indian art and science of healing, has an immense potential to liberate the mankind from the Stress Associated Diseases [SADs] which, today, are addressed as Noninfectious Chronic Diseases [NCDs].
