Comments from Drs. Mousumi and Dinesh Dey, from Kolkata, India, February, 2002:
This brilliantly researched book views human physiology in a completely different light from that hitherto known, and is highly recommended to be read by those belonging to the medical profession, and even the lay person.
In this original research, Professor Tony Nader has sought to discover the true purpose of the form and function of the human physiology, and its relation to cosmology. It is interesting to note that he has studied and compared every aspect of human physiology, at all its stages—the DNA, cell, embryo, up to the adult human physiology, and found that at every level, there is a precise one-to-one correspondence between the structure and functions of human physiology and the 40 aspects of the Veda and the Vedic Literature, which are the fundamental structures of Natural Law, as brought to light by Maharishi in his Vedic Science.
After a thorough discussion of the nature of consciousness as the basis of matter and the process by which it interacts with itself to produce the mind and body, Professor Nader discusses each of the 40 areas of the Veda and Vedic Literature with respect to the 40 fundamental aspects of human physiology. As one reads these striking correspondences, it becomes evident that one of Maharishi's unique contributions to the knowledge of the ancient Vedic Literature is that this body of knowledge is not essentially the written texts, but the basic frequencies, or reverberations of consciousness, which give rise to all the Laws of Nature governing human physiology and the entire universe. In identifying the human physiology as a precise expression of these underlying laws, Dr Nader establishes that the individual is the expression of the totality of Natural Law—the individual is cosmic.
The book is a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge about Veda and Vedic Literature, including detailed lists of the various branches and sections of the Vedic Literature. Particularly fascinating is the section on the Vedic Devatå in the human physiology, in which Prof. Nader gives a scientific definition of Devatå as Laws of Nature or collections of Laws of Nature with specific administrative functions in the universe, and locates these Devatå, in structure, form and function, in the physiology.
Gloriously illustrated throughout, this book revolutionizes our sense of what we are as human beings and gives a precise, scientific platform for understanding the individual as truly cosmic.
From the Author
Our physiology is continuously performing millions of tasks to maintain order and balance in its functioning, to allow growth and evolution to occur, and to bring about increasing achievement and fulfilment.
The perfect order displayed in the human physiology and throughout the universe is based on Laws of Nature that have been studied by modern science for more than 150 years.
The profound insights into the ancient Vedic Literature brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi over the past forty years have guided the discovery that the laws that construct the human mind and body are the same as those that give structure to the syllables, verses, chapters, and books of the Vedic Literature.
The human physiology (including the DNA at its core) has the same structures and functions as the holistic, self-sufficient, self-referral reality expressed in Rk. The specialized components, organs, and organ systems of the human physiology, including all the various parts of the nervous system, match the forty branches of the Vedic Literature one to one, both in structure and in function.
This discovery has unfolded the secrets of orderly functioning of all the organs in the body and how this orderliness can unfold its supreme quality, expressed as the absolute order in the infinite diversity of the universe. This discovery has opened the possibility for human existence to rise to that level of order which sustains the universe and gives the experience of 'Aham Brahmasmi' - 'I am Totality' - to everyone.
This discovery has rendered the study of physiology to be the actualization of the supreme philosophy of life, which establishes individual consciousness and national consciousness on the level of Cosmic Life.
