Vedic Health

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I am sharing something from my teacher & Guru Maharishi

Mahesh Yogi. I hope some of you find it interesting.

 

It relates how important is transcending to realise Atma (Self), & how

important also is Vedic recitation for the health of our bodies.

 

Maharishi & a Dr Tony Nader share that it is the sounds of natural law

expressing from the silent field of Atma which manifest matter &

structure every part of our physiology. They have identified which Vedic

texts actualy structure which parts of our anatomy, & how this makes us

a representation of the Cosmic Body ~ as is the macrocosm so is the

microcosm.

 

Thus now it is being advised to recite the texts (with correct

pronunciation) in order to correct any distortions in the physiology.

 

Ed on the BhagavadGitaLab list shared this today ...

 

Maharishi - THE GAP (SAMHITA) AND VEDIC RECITATION

 

The following is the text of Maharishi's comments on Professor Nader's

30-minutes talk on the Maharishi Channel, 6 May 2000 (Akshaya Tritíya)

 

THE GAP (SAMHITA) AND VEDIC RECITATION

**************************************

 

It's a beautiful explanation of the gap being responsible for

everything.

And so beautifully Prof. Tony Nader has explained that almost everything

is

gap and gap and gap and gap. In view of all that we have been saying all

 

these years, all these months and days, about the Transcendental

Meditation,

I would make one remark. And that one remark is that unless a man

practices

Transcendental Consciousness he has no chance to experience what Atma

is.

And Atma is a "big gap" -unmanifest, unbounded, enormous unboundedness

of

consciousness, unboundedness of consciousness which is Transcendental

Consciousness. Only the experience - experience underlined - only the

experience of unboundedness - listen carefully -only the experience of

unboundedness gives the experience of the infinity of void.

 

Unboundedness which is nothingness which is total gap. Total gap which

is

the total Veda -Rishi, Devata, Chhandas, Samhita, the total Veda - is

operating as universe, as the universe, as the universe. And it is this

that

brings us diversity in unity, unity in diversity.

 

So this command over the total nothingness is an experience only and

only

through the process of transcending all activity of the mind -

Transcendental Consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness. This

scientists

have verified through all these 40 years or more in the world that this

process of Transcendental Meditation is - now we understand this

Transcendental Consciousness in terms of - a big void, emptiness,

nothing.

This is one understanding of ours today.

 

Another understanding is: READING OF THE VEDIC TEXT OR LISTENING TO IT.

 

THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT. From here we may draw thousands of

understandings and inferences and conclusions. When a Vedic pandit

recites

the Veda, what is he doing? At every word he takes the word to

Pradhvansabhav, to Atyantabhav, to Anyonyabhav, and to Pragabhav, and

produces another word.

 

Every word of Vedic Literature emerges from that field of absolute

nothingness which is Samhita, total Samhita, Anyonyabhav, and flows as a

 

word and then again it falls into the same the ocean of knowledge -again

 

Atyantabhav, Anyonyabhav, again the total field of knowledge, again the

Samhita. So gap is a Samhita and THE RECITATION OF THE VEDIC TEXT TAKES

THE

TEXT FROM WORD TO WORD THROUGH A DIVE INTO THE GAP. IN THIS GAP IS TOTAL

 

VALUE OF SAMHITA - this is total value of Samhita.

 

Every word sacrifices itself in this whole field of Samhita and then

emerges

as a new word. The new word also sacrifices itself, gets to Samhita and

from

there emerges a new word and a new word. So Samhita recitation is a

process

of ...it's a great thing, it's a great thing, it's even beyond

description

.....

 

Samhita recitation taking each word from the expressed value of the

Samhita

which is the Mantras and then to the Brahmana value - Atyantabhav,

Anyonyabhav, the gap, the gap. So the word and the gap. The Mantra and

the

Brahmana, Mantra and the Brahmana, Mantra and the Brahmana. What this

does

to human physiology? Prof. Toni Nader has just explained that the order

issued from the gap, if it is not properly conveyed it creates cancer

cells.

The cells that forget their proper sequence, they forget their proper

sequence and they become troublesome to the neighboring cells and all

that,

all that. THIS SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE IN THE WORLD'S

ATMOSPHERE

THE RECITATION OF THE VEDIC LITERATURE, RECITATION OF THE VEDIC

LITERATURE.

AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO RECITE THE VEDIC

LITERATURE,

recite the Vedic Literature. There is a word for reciting the Vedic

Literature: Patha matrena sidhyati. "Path": only though recitation.

 

Recitation means read the Vedic Literature. In reading the Vedic

Literature

what you are doing is, you are expressing Samhita in terms of some

Rishi,

some Devata, some Chandas, but you are making them disappear again in

the

total Samhita, gap again, Sandhi again and again emerging, and again

Sandhi

and again emerging, and again Sandhi and again emerging.

 

This does what? Supposing this particular part of the brain or this

particular part of the heart is made of some specific value of the Vedic

 

Literature. Because what Prof. Toni Nader has told us is that specific

aspects of the Vedic Literature create specific physiological parts. So

 

each physiological part we see in terms of the Vedic Literature. If that

 

particular Vedic Literature is recited, recited, recited, and if there

is

any discrepancy then this Vedic recitation -creating one word and making

 

that word disappear in the gap and again appear - so this appearance and

 

disappearance, appearance and disappearance appearance and

disappearance, is

what actual Ved is: Samhita - Rishi, Devata, Chand - Samhita -Rishi,

Devata,

Chand - Samhita - Rishi, Devata, Chand.

 

If some Rishi is wild or Devata is wild or Chandas is wild, then going

through this process of emergence of Samhita and emergence of Rishi,

Devata,

Chand, emergence of Samhita and emergence of Rishi, Devata, Chand -going

 

through this process that particular part of the body, the> physiology

of

it, will get remodeled, will get repaired, will get repaired.

 

THIS IS THE BASIS OF VEDIC APPROACH TO PERFECT HEALTH. This we have not

yet

projected in the world but all these explanatory times that we are

spending

and expounding the effect of Vedic recitation, understanding that each

word

and a gap and a word and a gap, and word and a gap: this word and a gap

sequence of formation of the Vedic Literature is a process of

revitalizing

any weakness that may be growing in our physiology. To revitalize and

maintain proper functioning of each point before and after each gap, and

 

Prof. Toni Nader has said that physiologically the whole thing is a gap

with

very little something, something between the gaps: "Samhita Sandhih". So

the

total knowledge, infinite field of knowledge and performance is: gap and

gap

and gap and gap....Sandhi, Sandhi, Sandhi, Sandhi.

 

That is why in the Vedic way of life is the Sandhi, practicing Sandhi.

That

means practicing Transcendental Meditation is one thing, to practice

Sandhi.. And practice the Mantras or practice the recitation of

different

values of the Vedic Literature is another thing. There is an enormous

new

structure of education that is needed - Vedic Education.

 

The whole field of repair, THE PROCESS OF REPAIR OF THE PHYSIOLOGY CAN

BE

HANDLED BY RECITATION OF THE VEDA which means "a sound and a gap, and a

sound and a gap, and a sound and a gap." That's one thing. Another thing

is

practice of Transcendental Meditation which gives that total gap, that

big

huge gap in every transcending. So all the gaps are taken care of in one

 

transcending. Transcend and supply nourishment to repair any damage in

any

field of trillions of gaps in the body. One transcending - and one

transcends many times in the morning and evening practicing

Transcendental

Meditation, one does it many times, many times, but each time

transcending

alerts all the gaps. And as the gaps become alert the gaps become more

healthy for their performance, and all their unhealthy behavior whatever

 

which may appear as some disease or pain, lack of health, all the values

 

lacking in health will get repaired, repaired, repaired...So THE REGULAR

 

PRACTICE OF TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION AND READING THE VEDIC LITERATURE

COMES

TO BE A WAY FOR ENJOYING PERFECT HEALTH for developing the total brain,

developing total brain physiology.

 

This comes out timely in the world today when it has been recognized

through

scientific research that modern education does not enliven the total

brain

potential. Transcendental Meditation and reading of the Vedic Literature

 

seen from this point of view that the quality of the Vedic Literature

means

all the time taking the attention through the gaps, gaps, gaps, gaps...

 

So this ... is a very clear perception of our recognizing that the

sequential development of the Vedic flow, the sequential development of

the

Vedic flow as the Vedic pandits recite the Veda, and recite the whole

Vedic

Literature - this is a timeless gift of the Vedic knowledge. WE ARE

ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUSLY INDEBTED, THE WHOLE MANKIND IS INDEBTED TO THE

TRADITION OF VEDIC MASTERS from where this wonderful knowledge comes to

show: Everything is found in one's nothingness. And that nothingness is

the

basis of everything - Atma, Atma, Atma... So "Atmavan", be possessed of

Atma, be Atma, be Ved, and be healthy mechanics of creation, be healthy

mechanics of evolution, be endowed with the capacity to do anything and

everything at will. So this recitation of the Vedic Literature comes

from

this knowledge of the gap.

 

Everything from nothingness, openness to nothingness. The awareness, the

 

attention on one's Self. "Experiencing nothingness" means experiencing

one's

own Self. Losing everything means gaining everything. That's why the

principle of action is: Act from the field of nothingness! Act from

total

awareness! Act from total awakening! And that total awakening is

everything

from one sense and it is nothing from another sense. And when we

consider it

to be nothing - nothingness achieving nothingness only requires:

Transcend

small boundaries and directly experience unboundedness! This is just

that

example we tell a wave: You want to be mighty lose your performance,

lose

your activity. If the wave accedes to this suggestion it begins to sink

and

sink and sink ... And the moment it sinks the wave vanishes, it becomes

nothing - no wave - there is the dawn of the reality of the ocean in the

 

wave. The wave is no more wave, it's ocean and in that is the field of

all

possibilities and all knowledge - heaven on earth, all

possibilities.

I would like to add some thing more. The "Sandhi" that is mentioned here

has got a greater meaning. The world that is visible to the five sense

organs, the world that is imagined by the Mind and Intellect (antahkarana)

AND the world that is witnessed during deep sleep all these have got a

common Sandhi. That is the self. You can penetrate the physical world by

uttering certain Mantras. It is not an exaggeration to say that a

purascaraNa siddha (one who has practiced enough) can establish a direct

contact with the world of devatas. It is like having a different vision.

 

The world of demi-gods is in front of us, we just don't see... How often we

come across the Seers, Saints, Gods while we are on the way to our office!

What if we knew that the old man who just passed by is a Demi-God who is on

his way to some where! Don't we feel sad to find that we met someone very

special but didn't know what is their hidden potential? Yes, we do... but

unfortunately, we feel that we are helpless. There are Yakshas, Gandhrvas,

Kinneras, Kimpurushas who move around in visible form to our five sense

organs, yet invisible to our mind and intellect (i.e. we just don't get to

know them)....

 

I heard that there are beings exist which can not see the third dimension

which we humans see... We are limited in our own vision. A third eye is

required to see the world of Heaven. Acquiring this third eye requires

proper knowledge. "vidyA saMdhiH" (taittireeya upanishad). The proper

knowledge is hidden in the form of veda mantras. Once the mantra devata

gets pleased with your penance (which you do through chanting and offering

the havis) she will come and stand in front of you. This whole process of

opening the door, which is also called as sandhi, to the heaven is called as

Yagna. As per nirukta yagna means "yagana, yAcana" offering proper

pleasing ritual, and then asking for certain things.

 

Bhagawad Gita advises us to perform yagna in order to please the devatas,

having pleased by us they also will try to please us by offering good health

and bestowing food. Thus, mutually helping each other, we shall attain the

highest. They can help us getting rid of certain ailments, because they can

see the root cause for the ailment, which we do not see...

 

dEvAn bhAvayatAnEna tEdEvA bhAvayaMtuvaH

parasparaM bhAvayaMtaH SrEyaH paramavApsyadhA ||

 

Ten years ago, I experimented with certain mantras and have seen the

adhishTAna dEvatAs in their form. Also I am punished terribly for not

pleasing certain devatas after calling them. I called certain devatas who

are supposed to be called to achieve certain targets. But with out having

any target in mind, I called them --- just out of curiosity of looking at

them. This has caused a lot of problems. It is just like calling a Chief

Executive Officer of a very big firm in order to gossip. Certainly they

will not get pleased once they find that you are calling with out any work.

Actually, I overlooked the warning of my teacher and Bhagwad Gita. They

asked me to be careful of "pratyavAya". (nEhAbhikrama nASOsti, *pratyavAyO*

na vidyatE - Bhagawad Gita) Overlooking the PratyavAya taught me terrible

lessons. I shall write about them in future.

 

How ever, there is immense pleasure in pleasing the devatas. With their

help, one can do a lot of good to the world. Their where abouts are hidden

in vedas. Especially, Krishna Yajurveda. Though people stress the

importance of Rigveda, personally, I felt that Krishna Yajurveda is a mine

field of special prayers, which can help you in certain healing process

called Vedic Healing.

 

 

I remain yours,

I want to thank you for sharing this with us here. It can be

helpful & healing for others to share our experiences.
