Bringing Vedas to USA: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi | In Conversation with Dr. Jay Glaser

Описание: In the first episode of this series with Dr. Jay Glaser, he talks about how he met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and what drew him to take up Transcendental Meditation. He talks about the trajectory of TM and how Maharishi initially tried to start the TM movement in India and decided that TM would be taken up in India in a serious way only if it was first taken up by the West. He talks about how this prompted Maharishi to move his activities to the US. He also talks about his first encounter with Ayurveda at AIIMS, New Delhi and how that took him on a journey to Benares and BHU where he met Dr. P J Deshpande who was trying to revive the technique of Ayurvedic surgery called Kshara Sutra used for treating fistula.

He talks about how he presented what was his first thesis on Ayurveda at the University of Colorado and how it is thought of as an exotic thesis. He talks about how Maharishi believed that every Indian practice and science was one to raise a person's consciousness after which any medical issue or problem could be tackled. He talks about how the trio of Dr B D Triguna, Dr. V N Dwivedi and Dr. Balaraj Maharishi brought the riches of Ayurveda to the West positioning Ayurveda as a consciousness based system. He also talks about how Maharishi refused to adopt a reductionistic approach to Ayurveda and didn't believe in separating out active ingredients from the plant that was used to treat a particular disease.
