Abstract


Meditation is the state of skillful awareness. Now a days, immense effects are studied by researcher about this state, which have various psychological, neurological and physiological effects. Rob Nairn (1989) explains meditation as a highly alert and skillful state of mind. The present study attempts to assess the effect of meditation and gender on well being on 80 subjects who were divided into two groups, one was Experimental and second was Control. Each group consists of 40 subjects (20 male and 20 female). To measure the status of well being the P.G.I. general well being measure (PGIG, WBM, Verma&Verma, 1989) was used. The results of study clearly define significant difference(f-value 83.70) on the status of well being between meditators and non-meditators. Results also indicate the significant difference of gender(f-value 17.66) on well being. Concluding results highlight the significant effect of meditation and gender on well being.
