Dhyana  in Hinduism , Buddhism ,jainism means contemplation and meditation , though their technical context is different.Dhyana is taken up in yoga exercises, and leads to samadhi and self-knowledge. The concepts of dhyana and its practice originated in the Vedic and upanishadic era, developed further in the Buddhist, Hindu and Jain traditions, partly independently, partly influencing each other, and have been influential within the diverse traditions of Hinduism.It is, in Hinduism, a part of a self-directed awareness and unifying yoga  process by which the yogi realizes Self (Atman, soul), one's relationship with other living beings, and Ultimate Reality.
