5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good book, simple but very deep,
By "follettobuono" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda, 1e (Medical Guides to Complementary and Alternative Medicine) (Paperback)
This is one of the books that I used in the Diploma of Maharishi Vedic Approach to Heath that I did in Australia in 1998.Amongs all the book that I read this is one of the best. It is well written, simple (if you donno anything about ayurveda) but goes quiet in to dept. Very very good book. I suggest it to everyone, from the person that never read anything about ayurveda to the person who already have some knowledge and whish to explore the purity and simplicity of Maharishi Ayurveda.

Very good combination of practical & scientific,
By "anna_chetwynd" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda, 1e (Medical Guides to Complementary and Alternative Medicine) (Paperback)
I bought this book on Amazon after it was recommended to me by a local medical doctor who is also trained in Ayurveda and incorporates Maharishi Ayuvedic practices in his clinic. I have been frustrated with the bulk of Aurvedic texts available on-line and in my city, which barely skim the surface of Ayurveda and certainly don't attempt to review the scientific literature on Ayurveda. I found this book to have a reasonably good coverage of the history of Ayurveda, a quite good presentation of the theoretical base of Ayurveda (though they perhaps go a bit over the top trying to link quantum physics to Ayurveda-- I myself am not trained in quantum physics, and I respectfully doubt the authors are...), and a good coverage of practical Ayurveda, with a liberal and much-appreciated sprinkling of well-documented references to the scentific literature on Ayurveda. Recommended for those who'd like to have a solid base on which to build their study of Ayurveda.

This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda, 1e (Medical Guides to Complementary and Alternative Medicine) (Paperback)
This is one of the best book on Ayurveda or, better said, its purest form: Maharishi Ayurveda.
The book is very simple to read for anyone and its simplicity is its power as there is only one thing that is of uttermost importance for Health, understanding that we are basically Pure Consciousness. This book therefore doesn't focus on disease but on how to increase Health, using all the different disciplines of Vedic Science. Our modern medicine has forgotten what is real health and it has been too much focused in fighting disease, becoming therefore a science of suffering. In sanscrit the word for Health is Svastha which translated means "to stand in the Self". It is not just an absence of disease. It means to be in complete harmony with your own Self which is ultimately Pure Consciousness.
