instructed Ayurvedic system of medicine to the ancient sages.

sages, this ethnic and unique system of medicine is still

preventive rather than the curative aspect of therapy and
orients itself towards a healthy and enlightened lifestyle.
Ayurveda encompasses a worldview that is ecological and
eco-centric in spirit.

Meditation
Meditation is a simple, practical way to achieve real peace
of mind and to lead a happy, useful life. Vipassana - one
of the techniques of meditation means "to see things
as they really are".
It is a logical process of mental purification through
self-observation. Vipassana enables us to experience peace
and harmony: it purifies the mind, freeing it from suffering
and the deep-seated causes of suffering. The practice leads
step-by-step to the highest spiritual goal of full liberation
from all mental defilements. 'Transcendental Meditation
opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of energy,
creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within everyone.
By enlivening this most basic level of life, Transcendental
Meditation is that one simple procedure which can raise
the life of every individual and every society to its full
dignity, in which problems are absent and perfect health,
happiness, and a rapid pace of progress are the natural
features of life.' -- Maharishi
