| The Ramayan In Human Physiology |

On May 8, 9, and 10, 2012, the Boston area residents had the exceptional experience of hearing the time honored Vedic mahavakya (Aham Brahmasmi- I am veritably Brahm) from an objective scientific perspective by the grace of H. H. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his team of world renowned scientists. The 20+ years of objective scientific research conducted by Dr. Tony Nader under the close guidance of Maharishi on the Ramayan text reveals to the skeptical ‘modern’ man that the life of Sri Ram is being lived inside the structure and physiology of every single man whether aware or not. The Veda is the root of all natural laws. The Ramayan not only occurred in the distant past as a series of extraordinary events but is history (itihaas) that actively repeats itself continually in the physiology of each and every man. Organized in association with VHPA, the venue for these historic seminars was UMass Dartmouth, Sri Lakshmi Mandir, and Sri Dwarkamayi Vidyapeeth of Billerica.
With characteristic genius of a rishi scientist, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a disciple of H.H. Brahmananda Saraswati, has taken the subjective Reality of consciousness beyond the realm of body, mind, and senses; and made it possible to scrutinize it as an objective verifiable Reality within the grasp of man’s senses.
The western scientist has always limited himself to that which is objectively observable with the body, mind and senses. Even with the aid of fine instruments extending the range of man’s limited sense organs, man’s objective exploration of the universe has well defined boundaries. After reaching the limits, the western scientist must stop. To him, the truth resides only in objectively verifiable experiments that can be observed by the sense organs making him totally dependent on senses for verification. Using this western paradigm, the scientist must halt all investigations once all possibilities of verification with senses have been exhausted. In his innermost recesses of heart, the rare advanced scientists do recognize that there is need to transcend the mind and senses but anything unobservable is considered to be illogical, unscientific, and therefore unreliable lacking truth.
Thousands of years ago, the Vedic Rishi scientists also reached the same frontier of knowledge in using the body, mind, and senses alone. They concluded that any further gains in knowledge could only be made by transcending the mind and senses by the aid of meditation. Was this paradigm scientific? Indeed, hundreds of Vedic Rishis for generations worked together without ego, selflessly devoting their whole lives to the single minded pursuit of the Natural Law and arrived at similar conclusion using the considerably more difficult technique of subjective experimentation. They did learn what the nature of the Ultimate Reality is and answered all the questions that each generation of man naturally asks. They bequeathed to mankind this enlightening knowledge using the most appropriate form of transmission which is the medium of verbal sound (shruti), using correct intonation, rhythm, and pauses. The Vedas and the Upanishads are the revealed scientific records (apaurusheya—revealed in meditation--not man made) of our great Rishi scientists.
Sadly, two events have caused skepticism to develop around the revealed scientific records. The first is that man resides in the throes of the dark age of ignorance, Kali Yuga, where the brain functioning is at a minimal point and confusion reigns. Secondly, the history makers have subverted the historical scientific revealed records and made them to be mythological fantastic stories to be disbelieved by any rational ‘modern man.’ The psychological minimization of these scientific records continues to this day. As an example, the totally discredited Aryan Invasion hoax is now being subtly replaced by the Alien Invasion hoax keeping the Hindu civilization under siege. While most Hindus remain defensive, some western scientists, to their credit, have quietly used this knowledge base to make so-called breakthroughs in the realm of scientific discovery without disclosing the supposed ‘mythological’ original source documents.
H. H. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in a brilliant move, has used the prevalent objective western paradigm of mind and senses, to validate the time honored Vedic truths originally derived using subjective techniques. The mahavakya in Chandogya Upanishad tells us: Sarvam khalvidam brahm –All this is Brahm-Totality, Wholeness (III.14.1). “What makes the atoms, molecules, and cells come together as they do? The Laws of Nature. Every level of manifestation—from the Unified Field into energy, matter, life, consciousness, and society—expresses the same Natural Law, but in different forms.†The Totality, the Wholeness exists in every point of creation so it must also be present in the gross observable points as well as the subtle points. By choosing the gross observable points of the human structure and physiology, Maharishi along with Dr. Tony Nader has demonstrated the existence of the Ramayan which is a scientific blueprint of Natural Law in operation in every individual. The Ramayan is not a fantastic tale for the entertainment of ignorant masses but a fact of Totality in existence in every point of the universe. It is also a historical record of actual extraordinary events. Every location given in the Ramayan exists to this day including the bridge (Ram Setu) built to cross the ocean to the island of Sri Lanka verified by satellite imaging technology.
H. H. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has restored the dignity of the revealed scientific records, a heritage of every Hindu. He has single handedly been instrumental in validating the scientific nature of the ancient documents. Due to this groundbreaking research, all Hindus may reclaim with renewed pride and conviction their uncommon golden heritage and generously share it for the benefit of mankind.
One of the chief missions of Maharishi has been to create a Ramarajya: world peace and order. Using the physical theory of coherence, it has been discovered that when the square root of 1 percent of the population conducts athirudram abhishekam, then due to resulting coherence, peace and harmony is naturally experienced by the rest of the population. Currently, plans are underway to prepare 3,000 Vedic pandits to recite and perform the athirudram abhishekam on a daily basis to create the necessary universal coherence in this turbulent age. Maharishi has left his physical body but his thoughts and ideals continue to have a subtle major positive influence in the lives of billions of people around the globe today.
