❓ What is the practical significance of daily meditation in Hindu tradition?

Daily meditation (dhyana) is a foundational practice that cultivates mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual awareness. According to the Bhagavad Gita (6.10), regular meditation leads to self-realization and inner peace.

The practical benefits include:

• Reduced stress and anxiety through controlled breathing (pranayama)
• Improved concentration and memory
• Enhanced emotional regulation
• Better sleep quality

Modern science confirms these benefits through neuroimaging studies showing increased gray matter density in areas associated with self-awareness, compassion, and introspection.
