In Patanjali's yoga sutras, meditation is the 7th stage, and samadhi, the 8th stage, in which the state of jnana is maintained. I assume this is similar to Buddhism.

Sounds similar ... in the way I understand Buddhism, jhana is the practice, samadhi is that which is achieved in the practice.

Meditation isn't limited to certain religions, philosophies, or bodily positions. Of course, different things work for different people, and many probably benefit from rules and dogma - even in relation to meditation.

Most certainly. In fact the lotus position is not always ideal for all situations.
