Maharishi Vedic Science
Maharishi Vedic Science represents the complete science and technology of consciousness, providing systematic procedures to access the unified field of natural law at the basis of the individual and the universe.
The Foundation of Vedic Science
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi restored the scattered fragments of Vedic Literature into a complete, systematic science of consciousness. This restoration reveals how ancient Vedic wisdom contains perfect knowledge of natural law governing all aspects of life—individual and cosmic.
Vedic Science is not merely theoretical philosophy. It includes practical technologies that anyone can use to develop higher states of consciousness and apply natural law more effectively in daily life. The cornerstone of these technologies is Transcendental Meditation.
The Forty Aspects of Vedic Literature
Maharishi organized the entire Vedic Literature into forty distinct branches, each representing a specific quality of consciousness and corresponding to specific structures in human physiology:
The Ved and Vedic Literature
- Rig Ved: Total potential of natural law
- Sama Ved: Evolution of knowledge
- Yajur Ved: Transformation
- Atharva Ved: Wholeness of knowledge
Vedangas (Limbs of Ved)
- Shiksha: Phonetics
- Kalpa: Proper action
- Vyakarana: Grammar
- Nirukta: Etymology
- Chhandas: Meters
- Jyotish: Astronomy
Upangas (Secondary Limbs)
- Nyaya: Logic
- Vaisheshika: Atomic theory
- Samkhya: Enumeration
- Yoga: Union
- Purva Mimamsa: Investigation
- Uttara Mimamsa: Vedanta
Applied Aspects
- Ayur-Veda: Health and longevity
- Gandharva Veda: Music and sound
- Dhanur Veda: Defense
- Sthapatya Veda: Architecture
Additional branches include the Brahmanas, Aranyakas, Upanishads, Itihasas (epics), Puranas, Smritis, and other texts that together form the complete body of Vedic Literature.
Ved in Human Physiology
One of Maharishi's most profound discoveries is the correspondence between Vedic Literature and human physiology. Research shows that the structure of the Ved—the sounds and sequences found in Vedic texts—corresponds precisely to the structure of DNA, the building blocks of human biology.
This discovery reveals that:
- Human physiology is the expression of Veda
- Consciousness structures matter
- The same intelligence that created the universe created the human body
- By enlivening consciousness through TM, we enliven the total potential of natural law within our physiology
Consciousness-Based Education at MMYVV
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya implements consciousness-based education by integrating Vedic Science with modern academic disciplines. This creates education that develops total brain functioning while providing necessary professional knowledge.
How It Works
Students at MMYVV:
- Study regular academic subjects following UGC curriculum
- Practice Transcendental Meditation twice daily
- Learn relevant aspects of Vedic Literature
- Understand connections between their field of study and Vedic Science
- Develop higher states of consciousness alongside professional skills
This dual approach ensures students gain both outer knowledge (modern subjects) and inner knowledge (consciousness development). They graduate not only with degrees but with clarity of mind, creative intelligence, and ability to succeed in any field.
Practical Applications
Maharishi Vedic Science includes practical applications in various fields:
Maharishi Ayur-Veda
Complete system of natural health care that addresses the root cause of disease—loss of balance in consciousness. Includes diagnosis, prevention, and treatment using natural approaches.
Maharishi Gandharva Veda
Science of sound and music that creates specific effects in consciousness and physiology. Different melodies balance different aspects of mind and body according to time of day and season.
Maharishi Sthapatya Veda
Ancient science of architecture and city planning that designs buildings and communities in harmony with natural law, creating health, prosperity, and happiness for occupants.
Maharishi Jyotish
Vedic astronomy and astrology that provides precise knowledge of life's trends and timing. Includes predictive techniques and remedial measures to avert problems before they arise.
Higher States of Consciousness
Maharishi Vedic Science describes seven states of consciousness, of which most people currently function in only three:
- Deep Sleep: Neither external nor internal awareness
- Dreaming: Internal awareness without external objects
- Waking: External awareness through the senses
- Transcendental Consciousness: Pure awareness beyond thought, experienced during TM
- Cosmic Consciousness: Transcendental consciousness maintained along with waking, dreaming, and sleeping
- God Consciousness: Refined perception of the environment along with permanent inner silence
- Unity Consciousness: The highest state where everything is experienced as expressions of one's own Self
Regular practice of Transcendental Meditation naturally develops these higher states, bringing increased intelligence, creativity, happiness, and success in all areas of life.
Research Validation
Modern scientific research has validated many aspects of Maharishi Vedic Science:
- EEG studies showing increased brain coherence during TM
- Research on health benefits of Ayurvedic approaches
- Studies on effects of Vedic architecture on occupant well-being
- Documentation of the Maharishi Effect—reduced crime and violence in areas with group practice of TM
- Genetic research showing correspondence between Vedic texts and DNA structure
This research demonstrates that Maharishi Vedic Science is not mere philosophy but a genuine science with practical, measurable benefits for individuals and society.
