Prevention Oriented Vedic Health Care to Create a Disease-Free Society
"The centuries-old medicine-predominated approach to health has failed to eliminate sickness and suffering; this is because medicine alone is too superficial to influence all the innumerable values that constitute the structure of life and its evolution. Only a holistic approach that takes into consideration all aspects of mind and body together can be successful in handling health."
—Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Ayur-Veda is the world's oldest, most perfect, and most comprehensive system of natural medicine. Ayur-Veda originated in the Vedic Civilization of ancient India and is officially recognized by the World Health Organization.

Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health, and Maharishi Vedic Medicine represent the modern restoration by Maharishi of the complete and authentic practice of Ayur-Veda as recorded in the Vedic Texts. Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health offers programmes which are time-tested and free from harmful side-effects to prevent disease, restore health, and promote longevity by enlivening the body's inner intelligence, understood in Vedic Medicine to be the basis of all physiological self-repair healing mechanisms.

Vedic Health enlivens the inner intelligence of the body and thereby maintains the vitality of the physiology, and also maintains a healthy relationship between the body and its counterparts in the physiology of the Cosmic Body-the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars-through Jyotish, Yoga, Sthapatya Veda, Dhanur-Veda, and all other aspects of the Vedic Literature.

The Values that Constitute Health

These values of health are not available in any of the prevailing systems of health care, due to which the present health-care system is not only incomplete, but has been found to be dangerous.

The territory of Natural Law ranges from the infinite field of the unmanifest to the infinite field of the manifest; the holistic value of infinity is the total value of Natural Law, which includes all the diversified values of different Laws of Nature within its holistic value.

That is why health, which is defined as WHOLENESS, is structured in both HOLISTIC and SPECIFIC values of Natural Law in a fully integrated and balanced state. Unless the knowledge of this total field of Natural Law is considered, holistic health will not be available, and total health-total balance-will always be lacking. The use of the modern scientific approach to health has demonstrated the limitations of modern medicine. Medicine-oriented health care alone is not enough to offer perfect health. Health care should take care of the holistic value of health, and also all the specific values that constitute health:

• Physiology
• Intelligence at the basis of physiology
• Influence of the environment
• Influence of buildings in which one lives or works
• Influence of the distant environment: sun, moon, planets, stars
• luence of collective health on society

Creating a Disease-Free, Healthy and Enlightened Society

The effectiveness of Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health lies in its ability to utilize the total intelligence of Natural Law at the basis of the human physiology-to utilize that holistic value of Natural Law which structures the physiology and integrates the functioning of all aspects of body and mind. As a result, thought and behaviour are spontaneously more in harmony with Natural Law, which is the basis of good health.

Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health proceeds on the road of balance between the holistic and specific values of Natural Law. It starts from any level of imbalance and eliminating imbalance, arrives at the level of balance-integration of mind, body, behaviour and environment.

A perfectly healthy person lives in the state of enlightenment, with the natural ability to spontaneously use the total organizing power of Natural Law to accomplish any goal without strain. Sickness fundamentally arises due to violation of Natural Law caused by lack of knowledge of Natural Law, which weakens the individual and creates stress in individual and in society.

Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health promotes individual and collective health through knowledge of Natural Law, with all its expressions in material creation. It brings life increasingly into accord with Natural Law.

When the total intelligence of Natural Law is fully awake in every part of the physiology, then Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health enjoys fulfillment. In this balanced state of health there is perfect synchrony between the functioning of every individual cell and holistic functioning of the whole body, and between the intelligence of the individual parts of the physiology, the holistic intelligence of the physiology, and Cosmic Intelligence, which manages the whole universe. With this complete integration all thought and action are spontaneously in harmony with Natural Law and the individual naturally enjoys good health.

Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health is destined to create a disease-free, happy, healthy and enlightened individuals and society.

One of the procedure of Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health-Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology has brought relief to thousands suffering from chronic disorders, including people with arthritis, asthma, anxiety, back pain, depression, digestive problems, headache, and insomnia-all by means of a gentle, non-invasive technology with no toxic side effects.

Maharishi Ji has explained that the body's own inner intelligence guides the proper functioning of a healthy physiology. When the connection with this inner intelligence is lost, symptoms of diseases begin to appear. Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology utilizes a refined impulse of Vedic sound, or Vedic vibration, to enliven the inner intelligence of the body and restore proper functioning. There a many such approaches available with Maharishi Vedic Health Care.

It is completely within the ability of the Vedic Approach to Health care to prevent ill health and to restore and maintain normal functioning on every level of the evolution of life-from individual physiology to the collective physiology of society, extending to the Cosmic physiology of the universe-modifying weather conditions and the influences of planets and stars, so that the relationship of every-thing with everything else in the universe is upheld on a high level of balance-healthy and harmonious; because every level of evolution of life is administered by Natural Law, and Vedic is the (holistic and invincibly healthy) character of Natural Law-Samhita of Rishi, Devata, Chhandas.

The Vedic Health-Care System is the health-care system of Natural Law. It is so perfect because it handles the health of the individual through the same set of laws that handles the health of the universe.

"Vedic Health enlivens the inner intelligence of the body and thereby maintains the vitality of the physiology, and also maintains a healthy relationship between the body and its counterparts in the physiology of the Cosmic Body-the sun, moon, planets, and stars-through Jyotish, Yoga, Sthapatya Veda, Dhanur-Veda, and all other aspects of the Vedic Literature.
These values of health are not available in any of the prevailing systems of health care, due to which the present health care system is not only incomplete, but it has been found to be dangerous. 'Discovery of the Veda and Vedic Literature at the basis of human physiology offers a perfect system of health care on the basis of the complete knowledge of Natural Law available within the intelligence of the body of everyone. This Vedic System of Health Care supports health from the level of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law."
