Modern science and vedic science: an introductiondeveloped programs to apply this knowledge to every major area <strong>of</strong>human concern, including the fields <strong>of</strong> health, education, rehabilitation,and world peace. These applications <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maharishi</strong>’s technologies <strong>of</strong> consciousnesshave laid it open to empirical verification and demonstratedits practical benefit to mankind. Hundreds <strong>of</strong> scientific studies havealready established its usefulness. From these results, it is clear that<strong>Maharishi</strong>’s technologies <strong>of</strong> consciousness are far more beneficial thantechnologies based on present day empirical science; they promise toreduce and even eliminate war, terrorism, crime, ill health, and allforms <strong>of</strong> human suffering.These technologies, which are the applied value <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maharishi</strong> VedicScience, represent a great advance in methods for gaining knowledge.Past science was based on a limited range <strong>of</strong> knowledge gained throughthe senses. This new technology opens to mankind a domain <strong>of</strong> experience<strong>of</strong> a deeper and more far-reaching import. It places within ourgrasp a new source <strong>of</strong> discovery <strong>of</strong> laws <strong>of</strong> nature that far exceeds themethods <strong>of</strong> modern science, yet remains complementary to thesemethods.Modern science and <strong>Maharishi</strong> Vedic Science, explored together,constitute a radically new frontier <strong>of</strong> knowledge in the contemporaryworld, opening out vistas <strong>of</strong> what it is possible for mankind to know andto achieve, which extend far beyond present conceptions, and whichdemand a re-evaluation <strong>of</strong> current paradigms <strong>of</strong> reality and a reassessment<strong>of</strong> old conceptions <strong>of</strong> the sources and limits <strong>of</strong> human knowledge.This introductory essay will provide a preliminary understanding <strong>of</strong>what the unified field is, what <strong>Maharishi</strong> Vedic Science is, and how<strong>Maharishi</strong> Vedic Science and modern science are related. It also definesfundamental concepts and terminology that will be frequently used inthis journal and surveys the practical applications <strong>of</strong> this new technology.We begin with a description <strong>of</strong> the unified field as understood inmodern science.The Unified Field <strong>of</strong> Modern ScienceWithin the last few years, modern theoretical physics has identifiedand mathematically described a unified field at the basis <strong>of</strong> all observablestates <strong>of</strong> physical nature.
