I thought this was a really valuable presentation.  It s easy to access as a webcast, which I appreciated a lot since not every presentation that's advertised as such is actually readily available.   I'm looking forward to the next presentation.

 

Vedic Science:
Discovering Knowledge in the Self

Because Ayurvedic medicine can trace its roots back many thousands of years it is often thought to have developed from a long period of trial and error. However,  the Ayurvedic texts themselves tell a far different story of Ayurveda's origin.

The main textbook of Ayurveda, the Charaka Samhita, describes how in ancient times the Vedic Rishis (enlightened sages or "seers") became concerned that mankind was suffering from many illnesses. A meeting of the great sages was called to find a way to aid mankind and the knowledge of Ayurveda came out of this gathering. This is where the conventional part of the story ends. The technique the Rishis used to discover Ayurveda has no corollary in the modern scientific age and was a completely "Vedic" solution to the problem.

The first part of the Rishis technique was to all sit together, go into meditation and transcend to the experience of pure consciousness. The Rishis had all previously experienced that pure consciousness was not only source of their mind, but was also the cosmic intelligence at the source of all the laws of nature. They knew that in their own pure consciousness they could tap into a field that contained all of natural law in a seed form. For the Rishis, pure consciousness was actually the "home of all the laws of nature" and they called it Veda.

By comparing this Vedic approach to that of modern science we can see how radically different a Rishi addresses a problem from that of a modern scientist. The fundamental principle in science is that human subjectivity is so variable that it cannot be a valid tool to determine truth and reality. Science is an objective approach to the objective world.

The Rishis take just the opposite approach. They turn within and fathom all the levels of their inner life to discover knowledge. The Rishis knew that everything that existed in nature had a common source. If they found the ultimate source of their "Self" they would find the origin of all things in nature.  This is why the Rishis did NOT go out and collect herbs and experiment on their effects to discover Ayurveda but rather went into deep internal meditation.

Group Meditation Creates "Indra" - Holistic Consciousness

The Charaka Samhita's description of the second half of the Rishis discovering of Ayurveda is even more fascinating than what we have just discussed. Before the Rishis started they chose one of their group to not transcend completely during the group meditation but rather maintain a faint intention to receive the knowledge of health for mankind. The Charaka describes how to this Rishi "Indra" came and revealed the entire knowledge of Ayurveda.

Indra in Vedic terms is the quality of holistic consciousness-pure consciousness. The group meditation of the Rishis created a huge enlivenment of pure consciousness. However, one Rishi in the group maintained the faint intention to discover Ayurveda  because Pure Consciousness has the unique feature of being able to manifest the fulfillment of any thought created within it. Creating a faint intention in Pure Consciousness is the ancient Vedic technique to gain knowledge and the Rishis used it to discover the knowledge of Ayurveda.

Vedic Knowledge in Modern Times

The good news is the Vedic tradition is still alive and well today thanks largely to the work of a modern day Rishi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - founder of the TM program. The TM technique is the most easy and direct path to the pure consciousness experience. The practice of the advanced TM-Sidhi program uses the ancient Vedic techniques to create intention without disturbing the pure consciousness experience so that the intention may be fulfilled spontaneously.

Maharishi encourages practice of the TM and TM-Sidhi programs in groups to increase the power of the experience and growth of consiousness of the practitioners. He has established several groups throughout the world where many 100's of people practice the TM and TM-Sidhi program in the same place at the same time.

The Raj Maharishi Ayurveda Health Spa

A prime example of Maharishi's revival of the Vedic tradition can be found at The Raj Maharishi Ayurveda Health Spa in Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa.

The Raj is built according to the principle of Vedic architecture and its surrounding community contains two large domes for daily group meditations that can each seat 1000 meditators. One of the main amenities at The Raj is the tremendous atmosphere of wholeness and peace that permeates the grounds as a result of these large group meditations.

Raj guests also receive treatments from Maharishi Vedic Medicine which includes the whole range of Vedic healing modalities and not just Ayurveda. The experience for a guest starts with an Ayurvedic consultation from a licensed M.D. and includes traditional Ayurvedic pulse assessment. Guests then spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day receiving the authentic version of the ancient Ayurvedic internal cleansing treatments called Maharishi Rejuvenation Therapy.

Guests may also receive other Vedic healing experiences including instruction in the essence of Vedic meditation - the Transcendental Meditation technique and Maharishi Vedic Sound Therapy where specific Vedic sounds are used to balance different areas of the body. The result is a rejuvenation of mind and body that helps guests realize their inner Self and achieve greater success in outer life.
