- Description
- The Vedic (VAY-dik) tradition of knowledge, based on the extensive Vedic literature, is the oldest tradition of knowledge in the world. Though it has been long preserved in India, this traditional wisdom has been almost lost in recent centuries—due in part to repeated foreign invasions. The Vedic tradition includes detailed information on a wide range of topics—from astronomy to music, architecture to health care, administration to economy. But it is all based on the knowledge of consciousness—including technologies of consciousness, and evolution to the highest state of consciousness (enlightenment). In recent years, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has brought this ancient wisdom to light. He has gathered the varied elements of the Vedic tradition into a comprehensive and objectively verified science of consciousness. In this Vedic science, consciousness is considered far more than a by-product of brain activity. Instead, the individual mind is described as an apparently localized fluctuation of an underlying, unbounded field of consciousness. As a wave, when it settles down, gains the status of the unbounded ocean, so the individual human mind, when it settles down to its state of least excitation (Transcendental Consciousness, the fourth state of consciousness), gains the status of the unified field—the infinite intelligence at the basis of the universe. —See https://www.permanentpeace.org/source/tradition.html
