Ayurveda - the science of life.

Ayurveda is a science which can be defined in many different ways but has one meaning - a holistic approach that takes into consideration all aspects of the body, mind and soul.  Ayurveda maintains the balance between the body and its own inner intelligence and between the inner intelligence of the individual, cosmic intelligence of society and the cosmic intelligence of the universe.

Ayurveda is a basis of intelligence or consciousness, rather than matter.  Ayurveda has its importance on mental, physical and behavioral factors.  Rather than looking for disease, Ayurveda uses a holistic approach to bring the physiology back to its normal intelligence. 

'Ayurveda Mritanam' - 

'Ayurveda is for those who desire immortality'

It is a completely natural, effortless and holistic approach that takes into consideration of the mind and body together.

'Sharira, Indriya, Sattva, Atma, Samyoga' - 

'The conjunction of the body, senses, mind and self'. 

As long as they are held together, there is life.

Ayurveda is now the world's oldest scientific system of natural medicine originating over 6,000 years ago in the ancient Vedic tradition of India and it is the most complete system of natural medicine which has helped man to cure disease and maintain perfect health.

Perfection of life is in complete clarity of experience in any individual.  An example of perfection given by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is of the sap in the tree.  The gardener waters the root, it supplies nourishment to the sap which therefore enlivens that sap and makes every expression enlivened or brighter.  Everything becomes better only if the sap is lively.  Like the sap in the tree, Atma or consciousness has a place in the life of everyone.  Perfect health means perfection in every field for everyone.  A perfect person is a balanced person, a perfect person always acts in the best possible way for himself and the society.  With the practice of Ayurveda, we all can achieve perfect health.
