The modern world today is goingback from modern science to the old age remedies like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unnani and Homeopathy. The knowledge gained through exploration of consciousness, developed by the great masters in the Himalayas who first expressed this knowledge and passed it on over many thousands of years. Maharishi’s work in founding this technology is very much steeped in that ancient tradition, but his work is also very much imbued with the spirit of modern science and shares its commitment to direct experience and empirical testing as the foundation and criteria of all knowledge.
