Research Proposal for the Doctoral Program in Maharishi Vedic ...

23Reading Vedic Literature Purifies the PhysiologyThe hindrance to human beings living the perfection built into their very physiology isthe lack of normal functioning in the physiology due to the accumulation of blocks andstresses. Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs are techniquesto refine consciousness and thereby purify physiology. However, the techniques oflistening to, reading, and reciting Veda and Vedic Literature are techniques to directlypurify the physiology.The discovery proves the physiology is made of Veda. Listening to or reciting VedicLiterature stimulates the physiology to adopt that precise sequence of functioning whichis built into its very structure. The perfect sequential unfoldment of Veda and VedicLiterature is mirrored in the physiology. Recitation of the Vedic Literature resets thephysiology to its perfect style of functioning and thus is a direct technique for stabilizingthe highest value of human functioning, Unity Consciousness.Each part of the physiology is made of Veda. Exposing the physiology to the sounds ofVeda resets the physiology to its original perfect functioning. As Nader says:Therefore, in order to train the physiology to always function in the samesequence in which its structure is designed, and to allow the nervous system toalways, unmistakably, maintain the sequence of evolution, the traditional practiceof chanting and reading Veda and the Vedic Literature should be maintained. Bylistening to Veda, the nervous system will be maintained in its natural functioningwithout any imbalance. By reading or listening to other aspects of the VedicLiterature, corresponding aspects of the physiology will be maintained in theirnatural functioning. In order to habituate the physiology to function in perfectsequence, it is therefore only necessary to read the Vedic Literature and to takethe awareness to the Transcendent. This will enliven all the gross and subtle levels
