Sublime

Dr. Stuart Rothenberg and Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf of Maharishi Ayurveda,

I especially enjoyed the work of Sir John Woodroffe (1865–1936), a.k.a. “Arthur Avalon,” who—while prominently serving as Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court in British India—spent his private hours explaining, defending and ultimately practicing in the then widely reviled Hindu religious schools of Shaiva and Shakta Tantrism.

Swami Chinmayananda,

The material in Ayurveda and the Mind reflects and builds on that presented in my previous books. There is a chapter on Ayurveda and the mind in my book Ayurvedic Healing: A Comprehensive Guide. The nature of consciousness, from a more spiritual

and meditative perspective, is examined in Beyond The Mind. The present volume falls inbetween these two books. It has points in common with Tantric Yoga and the Wisdom Goddesses: Spiritual Secrets of Ayurveda, which deals with the chakras and the energetics of the subtle body. The reader can look into these books for more information on the greate

Gandharva (which means “skilled singer” in Sanskrit) Veda is a specific teaching from Vedic science about the influence of sound and music.

Fresh gingerroot tea, prepared by placing a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger into a pint thermos bottle and filling it with hot water, is also Vata pacifying.
