Reading the Vedic Literature >********************************* > >“Learning

the Sanskrit language is desirable for everyone, because everyone’s thought,

speech, and behavior should always be spontaneously progressive in the

evolutionary direction of Natural Law.” —Maharishi >(Maharishi’s Forum of

Natural Law and National Law for Doctors; 1996, pp. 430, 432.) > >“This is my

Vedic Science-Based Education, which in essence amounts to: Close the eyes and

“meditate“, and open the eyes and read the Vedic Literature.” —Maharishi

>(Maharishi Vedic University, Introduction, 1994, p. 117) > >“Veda is the

impulse of consciousness, and by listening to the sound of the Veda (Shruti)—by

reading it or hearing it-one can enliven it within one´s own consciousness and

realize the total organizing power of pure knowledge within oneself.“

—Maharishi >(Maharishi Vedic University, Introduction, 1994, p. 123) > >“Every

aspect of the Vedic Literature expresses a specific quality of consciousness.

Reading every aspect of the Vedic Literature as it flows and progresses in

perfect sequential order has the effect of regulating and balancing the

functioning of the brain physiology and training consciousness, the mind,

always to flow in perfect accordance with the evolutionary direction of Natural

Law.“ —Maharishi >(Maharishi Vedic University, Introduction, 1994, p. 144) >

>“Reading the Vedic Literature in sequence is the procedure to spontaneously

train the brain physiology and the whole physiology of speech to function in

the most orderly way so that every thought, speech, and action is spontaneously

promoted in the evolutionary direction of Natural Law, and thereby spontaneously

enjoys full support of the evolutionary quality of intelligence that upholds

order and evolution in the entire universe. “ —Maharishi >(Vedic Knowledge for

Everyone, p. 182.) > >“The perfect orderliness of the Sanskrit language creates

orderliness and balance in the brain physiology, expands the memory, and

purifies the physiology. When reciting the Vedic language, the brain functions

from more silent levels, increasing peace and harmony in the mind.” —Maharishi

>(Maharishi’s Programs to Create Heaven on Earth, p. 62.) > >“These sounds are

the sounds that are available to us in the Veda and Vedic Literature. Through

proper use of these sounds, the entire Vedic Technology—the whole engineering

of creation, all the secrets of Nature’s silent functioning is available to

us.” —Maharishi >(Absolute Theory of Government, 1995, p. 352.) > >“This is

how, through the daily practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and

TM-Sidhi program, along with the study of the Vedic Literature, the student of

Maharishi Vedic University gains all knowledge of creation, and all knowledge

of the mechanics of transformation that structure and maintain the liveliness

of the eternal process of evolution. This makes it possible for the student of

Maharishi Vedic University to gain mastery over Natural Law.” —Maharishi

>(Vedic Knowledge for Everyone; 1994, p. 51-52.) > >“The student in his early

days of study hears the sequentially evolving sounds of the Vedic Literature;

his brain physiology is cultured to function in accordance with Natural Law;

and with increasing familiarity with the Vedic Language, and development of

pure consciousness through research in consciousness, he grows in intellectual

comprehension of the Vedic Text, the quantified values of the holistic sound,

and gains familiarity with the fundamental mechanics of creation on both

levels, intellectual and practical.” —Maharishi >(Maharishi University of

Management; 1995, p. 302.) > >The truth is that today we stand in possession of

Total Knowledge and the means to realize it: >experience your own consciousness

and listen to Veda; >read Vedanga; apply Upanga; harmonize through Upa-Veda;

transform and metabolize through Brahmana; and live wholeness of

life--Totality--Brahm--through the Pratishakhyas. >Experience different levels

of consciousness, and verify your experience through the Vedic Text (the forty

areas of the Vedic Literature). >Realize Total Knowledge through the means to

realize it --Transcendental Meditation and the Vedic Literature--enjoy the

‘fruit of all knowledge’ -- life in enlightenment -- fulfilment -- and

celebrate perfection in daily life. –Maharishi (Celebrating the Perfection in

Education, 1998) > > >--------------- > Get
