Ramayan in Human Physiology

1. Book Pr eview 2. 22 ‘Råmåya∆ is for full enlightenment; Råmåya∆ is for perfection in every profession; Råmåya∆ is formastery over Natural Law; Råmåya∆ is for fulfilmentof any desire one may have. Råmåya∆ is to create aperfect man, a perfect society, and a perfect world.’—Maharishi Mahesh YogiWhat is the origin of the universe? When did it all start? Where is it going? What ismind? What is matter? What is consciousness? Is there one God? Many Gods? NoGod at all? What can science discover? Will everything one day be fully known? Oris there anything that will forever remain outside the human ability to understand? Are we ask-ing the right questions? Or should we simply care for our day-to-day needs, and attend to ourhealth care, government, financial systems, and all the practical concerns of life? Where arethe answers?Science attempts to explore as many topics as it possibly can. It aims at being objective andnon-biased, and at discovering answers from reliable and repeatable relationships betweencauses and effects. Science studies the Laws of Nature.The predominant approach to daily living—including personal, family, national, and inter-national questions and decisions—remains, however, very subjective, based on consensus, edu-cation, and sometimes religious values and outlooks. This subjective approach relies upon in-dividual preferences, feelings, intuitions, spiritual and moral convictions, desires, and motives.This book takes one of the most purely subjective and spiritual records of knowledge, theRåmåya∆, and compares it to one of the most objectively-studied and scientifically-describedaspects of life: human physiology.The research presented in this book illustrates the correlation between the characters andevents occurring in the Råmåya∆ and the structures and functions of human physiology, con-cluding that ultimate subjectivity is ultimate objectivity, physiology is intelligence, matter isconsciousness! It reveals that the same Laws of Nature express themselves on different levelsof manifestation while remaining unchanged in their function and structuring dynamics.It is not the philosophical, moral, religious, or even social and familial underpinnings that areemphasized in this study, but the basic characters, events, places, and their interwoven dy-namics as they reveal the structure and function of our human physiology. No value judgmentnor philosophical or moralistic analysis is attempted.The Råmåya∆ is not studied here as a text belonging to any one religion, nor to a particularrace or belief system. The Råmåya∆ tells the story of Natural Law through its events andcharacters, just as Natural Law reveals its story in every individual physiology, life, and in theever-expanding universe. 3. 3 3The AuthorD r. Tony Nader received his MD degree from the American Uni- versity of Beirut, where he also studied internal medicine and psychiatry. His PhD is in the area of Brain and Cognitive Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was also a vis- iting physician and Assistant Director at the Clinical Research Center. He completed his post-doctoral work as a Clinical and Research Fellow in Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School.Dr. Nader has conducted research on neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, and the relationship be-tween diet, age, behaviour, mood, seasonal influences, and neurotransmitter and hormonal activity,and on the role of neurotransmitter precursors in medicine.Dr. Nader’s desire to gain total understanding of the human mind and body—of consciousness andphysiology—led him to the study of Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology under the guidanceof His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.On the basis of his knowledge of physiology, Dr. Nader has successfully correlated each aspect ofthe Vedic Literature to a specific area of physiology, with the conclusion that human physiology isthe expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature. This is the subject matter of his first book, HumanPhysiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature.This discovery has been appreciated by scientists and political leaders throughout the world. Itspractical application has been documented by original research conducted by medical doctors andscientists, which demonstrates the effectiveness of Vedic Sounds and Vedic Vibrations for the treat-ment of chronic disorders.In appreciation for his achievements in illuminating Vedic Science in the light of modern science, Dr.Nader was honoured by Maharishi with the title ‘Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam’ and given responsi-bility for guiding the Global Country of World Peace (www.GlobalCountry.org).HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY—EXPRESSION OF VEDA AND THE VEDIC LITERATUREÂK VEDA:JYOTISH: YOGA: Association Fibres Holistic Functioning of the Physiology The Basal Ganglia and the 9 Grahas (I) Yoga S™tra - Chapter 1 (cont.)
