meaning

of Samadhi:

Samadhi is a Sanskrit term for the state of consciousness induced by complete meditation.

Samadhi is also a Hindu and Buddhist technical term which means the higher level of dhyana (meditation) in yogic schools.

In Hinduism it’s the eighth and final limb of the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali..
It is described as a non-dualistic state of consciousness in which the experience of subject merges with the object becoming one and the mind becomes still though the person remains conscious.

Samadhi is described in different ways within Hinduism such as the state of being aware of one’s Existence without thinking, in a state of undifferentiated “Beingness" or as an altered state of consciousness that is characterized by bliss (ananda) and Joy (sukha)

In Hinduism

Samadhi is the main subject of the first part of the Yoga Sutras called Samadhi-pada. According to Vyasa, a major figure in Hinduism and one of the traditional authors of the Mahabharata, "yoga is Samadhi." This is generally interpreted to mean that Samadhi is a state of complete control over the functions and distractions of consciousness.

In Buddhism

Samadhi, or concentration of the mind (one-pointedness of mind, cittassa-ekaggata), is the third division of the Eightfold Path of the Buddha's teaching: pañña (wisdom), sila (conduct), Samadhi (concentration) - within which it is developed by samatha meditation. Some of Buddhist schools teach of 40 different object meditations, according to the Visuddhimagga, an ancient commentarial text. These objects include the breath (anapanasati meditation), loving kindness (metta meditation), various colours, earth, fire, etc. (kasina meditation).

Advanced yogis have been said to intentionally leave their bodies as a final attainment or soul-liberation. It is at this time that the soul knows a complete and unbroken union with the Heavenly Godhead, and, being free from the limitations of the body, merges effortlessly into the transcendent amrita of Divine Bliss. It is said that sometimes the yogi leaves the body and returns.

States of consciousness with some of the features of Samadhi are experienced by individuals with no religious or spiritual preparation or disposition. Such episodes occur spontaneously and appear to be triggered by physically or emotionally charged peak experiences such as in runner's high or orgasmic ecstasy, however even mundane activities such as reveling in a sunset, dancing or a hard day's work have, in rare instances, induced the entire range of Samadhi .
The only distinction in these spontaneous secular Samadhi from Hindu and Buddhist descriptions is that in the state of non-duality.
