Maharishi Ayurveda - Prevention-oriented Health Care System

Being healthy is one of the biggest concerns of everyone. We can't be completely happy, if we're not in good health. Ill-health can cause days off work and have a negative effect on our emotions.

Health means wholeness. Wholeness means that our body functions well in any circumstances and it responds properly to the instructions of the mind. If you think, I'd like to go there, the body immediately reacts, gets up from the chair, moves to the place you want it to go and does the things you want it to do there.

Have you ever pulled a muscle in your back and found that it's almost impossible to get up from your chair, or do almost anything which involves the body?

So, your body is very precious to you. As long as everything works well, you just take it all for granted, but if one small thing goes wrong, you could be helplessly stuck.

Simple, natural guidelines

When you're young, you assume that your body will always continue to do what you ask of it, like it does while it is still flexible and strong. If you wish to keep your body healthy and strong, however, you need to follow some simple and natural guidelines.

Ayurveda means "knowledge of life". This knowledge is not man-made, it is eternal knowledge cognized by an ancient Vedic Rishi (seer) and present in the self-referral consciousness of everyone.

Ayurveda is that part of the Veda which highlights the balancing quality of the Veda.

Maintaining balance

In Ayurveda, the most essential point in maintaining a healthy body is to stay in balance. If everything is in balance, then the structuring dynamics of consciousness can flow unrestrictedly, thus allowing your physiology to function properly.

Ayurveda tells us that there are three basic tendencies that have to stay in balance. They are called the three Doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Ayurveda goes deep into the knowledge of how to keep these three qualities in balance.

Maharishi Ayurveda

Maharishi Ayurveda emphasizes both the value of a well-functioning body and also the development of consciousness and its effect on the physiology.

Transcendental Consciousness is the unified field of consciousness. It is in this unity in which all diversity, including the three values Vata, Pitta and Kapha, are united.

Therefore the experience of the Unified Field of consciousness, is highly necessary to maintain balance. The unified field of consciousness is experienced during Transcendental Meditation, when the mind has gone beyond even the finest state of thought.

Ayurvedic knowledge partially lost

Ayurveda is an ancient system of health care, the knowledge of which was almost lost, but in the 1980's Ayurveda was re-enlivened and restored by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in collaboration with Ayurvedic physicians.

This re-enlivened Ayurvedic knowledge is known as "Maharishi Ayurveda" and has been officially endorsed by the All India Ayurvedic Congress as the authentic form of Ayurveda.

Prevention is better than cure

Prevention through the Vedic approach is prevention based on the eternal laws of nature, which govern all the different aspects of the physiology and of life as a whole.

By making use of Maharishi Ayurveda food supplements, herbal formulas and therapies, in combination with the enlivenment of Transcendental Consciousness through the Transcendental Meditation technique, your health can stay optimal.

There is nothing more desirable than being in possession of this ancient knowledge of Ayurveda, which is structured in one's own self-referral consciousness, which is Transcendental Consciousness, the home of all the laws of nature.
