A Groundbreaking Book for Our Troubled Times

This fascinating book reveals the fundamentals of happiness, health, and fulfillment in a life well lived and shows how to accomplish them. It dives into philosophical logic and supporting science to explain why consciousness must be primary while matter and energy must be secondary.
Dr. Nader shows you that suffering is unnecessary through illustrations and easy-to-understand examples. You can rise to higher states of consciousness to gain greater freedom and self-reliance, with a profound understanding of how matter, energy, and mind are different aspects of one common reality.
Most profoundly, he shows for the first time in the history of science and human thought how our daily world manifests within Consciousness and how this new paradigm directly addresses the questions we all have:

• Who are we?
• How can we be happiest?
• How can we lead a good life, serving ourselves and others the best?
• How can freedom be compatible with law and order?
• How can we meet all our challenges as individuals and as a society, including the environment, genetic engineering, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence?

In the newly updated printing of this unabridged classic, which has reached millions of readers, Maharishi unfolds his vision for “a new humanity developed in all life’s values – physical, mental, material, and spiritual.”

Soon after Maharishi began his world tours in 1959, his students urged him to commit his great teaching to paper. By 1963 he had completed this fascinating book, which presents what Maharishi calls the Science of Being as the systematic investigation into the ultimate reality of the universe. Like other sciences it begins its investigation from the gross, obvious level of life, and delves more deeply into the subtle levels of the experience of Nature. The Science of Being, however, eventually transcends these subtle regions, and reaches the transcendental field of eternal Being.

Like other sciences, the Science of Being includes a practical technology — the Transcendental Mediation technique — which is the “technology of consciousness” for directly experiencing the field of Being, the transcendental field of existence, the inner Self of everyone. Through the Transcendental Meditation technique any individual can easily harness the unlimited treasures of this field of Being — infinite happiness, energy, creativity, intelligence, and organizing power — bringing maximum success and fulfillment to daily life. This development of full human potential is elaborated in the second half of the book on the Art of Living.

This book contains everything you need to know, from the perspective of Maharishi AyurVeda, to begin living a more integrated, balanced, and harmonious life. It communicates an understanding of the primary and holistic role of consciousness in your life in an accessible manner. Included is an explanation of what distinguishes Maharishi AyurVeda from other schools of Ayurvedic thought and practical guidelines to get you started on a healthier routine. The reader will enjoy the book’s systematic and comprehensive examination of essential concepts such as five-element theory, the three Doshas, the role of digestion, and the influence of time and the seasons on your health.

“Finally, a highly readable and understandable discourse that not only distinguishes Maharishi AyurVeda from all the other Ayurveda books in the marketplace but also beautifully articulates the profound benefits of Maharishi AyurVeda.” — David Lynch, Filmmaker

“A great achievement! Clearly demonstrates the profundity and power of reconnecting Ayurveda with its roots in the field of pure consciousness.” — John Hagelin, PhD, world-renowned physicist and President, Maharishi International University
