"Ayurveda will be projected as the most evolved system of perfect health. From both the perspectives of prevention and cure. The most supreme approach to perfect health, the most profound system for maintaining perfect health. The most profound system for maintaining perfect health because it deals with consciousness, it deals with the mind, the body, the senses, the entire environment. It deals with all levels of life's manifestation and with that holistic value of life, which permeates all these different levels of expression and which is the self-referential state of pure consciousness." - Maharishi
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is the knowledge of a long, happy, and healthy life. Ayurveda is natural and holistic, timeless yet modern. It can be applied simply and regardless of where we come from, where we live, or what we like and dislike. Its secret lies in its holistic approach and the understanding of our oneness with nature and its laws. Ayurveda shows us how to live a balanced life—the foundation for total well-being, natural beauty, and lasting health.
Holistic Health:
No two people are alike. Each of us has an individual physiological makeup and constitution. Our health is influenced by our origins, our talents, our behavior, our environment—by everything we see, hear, feel, and experience. Ayurveda, therefore, considers all aspects of life in its recommendations for holistic and lasting health. This holistic perspective is systematically divided into 20 Ayurvedic approaches, which include, for example:
• Consciousness (encouraging the body's self-healing powers through Transcendental Meditation)
• Vedic Sound and music therapy
• Yoga
• Breathing therapy - pranayama
• Color and aromatherapy
• Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis - Nadi vigyan
• Vedic Astrology - Jyotish and Yagya
• Recommendations for a balanced diet according to the individual and their constitution
• Daily and seasonal routine
• Ayurvedic cleansing treatments - Panchakarma
• Use of herbal and mineral-based dietary supplements - rasayanas
Awakening Inner Intelligence
Maharishi Ayurveda's approach is to prevent health problems before they arise, to restore good health if it has been lost, and to slow down or even reverse the aging process.
It includes mental, physical, behavioral, and environmental approaches to health. The goal of these four approaches is to encourage the body's internal intelligence, which is the basis of all physiological mechanisms of self-repair and healing.
The key to wellness through Ayurveda lies in understanding the three fundamental Ayurvedic forces: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. All our physical, mental, and emotional characteristics are expressed in our personality through a completely individual balance of these fundamental forces. They constitute our Ayurvedic type, our inner nature, the blueprint for a long and healthy life—unique and distinctive, like a fingerprint.
A timeless tradition:
Ayurveda is the world's oldest and most comprehensive science of natural medicine. It provides a wealth of time-tested knowledge and therapies for improving both mental and physical health.
New light on ancient wisdom
Ayurveda means "the science of life" and comes from the ancient Vedic tradition of India, where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Centuries of misuse led to the decline of Ayurveda; until 1980, when Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation, brought together the greatest exponents of Ayurveda: Dr. V.M. Dwivedi, Dr. B.D. Triguna, and Dr. Balaraj Maharishi. Together, they revived the ancient knowledge of health in its original purity and named it Maharishi Ayurveda.
They formed a medical council that created authentic herbal formulas in accordance with Ayurvedic texts. They also established an international network of physicians, clinics, and schools dedicated to eliminating disease and providing optimal health to people in every nation. Maharishi Ayurveda is the complete Ayurveda, according to the classical texts.
