Course Description

MIND – VEDIC KNOWLEDGE PERSPECTIVE

Welcome to the course on mind and spirituality from the perspective of Maharishi Ayurveda! In this course, we will explore the structure and function of the mind within the Ayurvedic vision, delving into the link between mind and spirituality.

Maharishi Ayurveda considers the mind as one of the fundamental pillars of health and well-being. According to this view, the mind is a dynamic, interconnected entity that plays a crucial role in our experience of life and in our search for meaning and spiritual fulfillment.

Through the perspective of Maharishi Ayurveda, we will explore the structure of the mind and its functions. We will study key concepts such as psychic constitutions and how these influence mental characteristics, moods and the way we perceive the world.

We will also explore the concept of “Sattva”, which represents a state of balance and mental clarity. We will discover how to increase the full potential of Sattva through the integrated approach of Maharishi Ayurveda Methodologies to promote optimal mental well-being and a deep connection with our inner spirituality.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

"If we are all strong, stable, we can set our sail with any wind in the world that comes along. We make up our own direction. If we are not strong, we are like a leaf in the wind and the world's winds will take us where they wish, not where we wish. So we meditate, every day, regularly, and gain transcendental being in our everyday life and then we are strong. When we are all infused with Being, we need not think which course is right, we just take the one that is automatically. Being is the wind-resister and the sail-setter."
—Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
