Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Contribution to the Rise of Ayurveda in the World
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi brought to light the unified connectedness of Veda and Ayurveda. Maharishi explained that Veda is unified wholeness of life, the unmanifest field of pure consciousness in which all the laws of nature, the expressions of knowledge, are structured. It is at the basis of everything and is the essence of all life in a unified wholeness. It is equated to the Unified Field of all the laws of nature as glimpsed by the quantum field theories of modern physics. Ayurveda, being one of the Upa-Vedas, is the Vedic cognition of a complete science of wholeness of life emerging from the field of Veda. It branches out from Veda as the knowledge of the laws of nature that govern the wholeness of life in alliance with Natural Law, capable of bestowing perfect health to individual and society. Health in Ayurveda is described as the complete balance of individual life with cosmic life; balance in every level of physiology; perfect balance of all Doshas, Agnis, Dhatus, Malakriya; and bliss of senses, mind, and Atma.
Atma is widely described in many expressions in the ancient texts of Ayurveda as the unmanifest, eternal, universal, and indestructible basis of life. Atma is the absolute bliss consciousness, eternal, non-attached and without attributes that is totality and unity of all the laws of nature that govern our life. Starting in 1979, Maharishi promoted Ayurveda throughout the world as a holistic, scientific system of natural health care for the prevention and cure of diseases, the preservation of health, and the promotion of longevity.
