Maharishi Yagyas
Vedic Performances for
Life-Supporting Effects
In the Vedic civilisation Yagyas were part of the regular routine of individual and public life. They are repeatedly mentioned in the ancient Vedic texts. For example, the Vishnu Purana says:
"Performance of Yagyas day by day
is beneficial to man and bestows peace" (1:6:28)
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has fully enlivened this precious knowledge, including its application and correct performance, in the Maharishi Yagya Programme.
Maharishi Yagyas Work by Means
of the Principle of Action and Reaction
The experience of our daily lives shows that we are repeatedly confronted with unforeseen and often unwanted trends and events. To avert any danger before it may arise, Maharishi Jyotish uses the technology of Maharishi Yagyas. Maharishi Yagyas are Vedic performances that create life-supporting effects in order to amend or avoid any unwanted tendency before it manifests. Based upon the Janma Kundali (birth horoscope), Maharishi Yagyas are recommended by a Maharishi Jyotish expert, taking into account the expressed desires of the individual for improvement in specific areas of life.
Action - reaction
All our thoughts, feelings, and actions generate influences in the environment which reflect back to us. This can be compared with the situation of throwing a stone into a pond. Such an action at the shore produces waves, which then travel throughout the pond. Once they reach the far shore, they will be reflected back, and eventually return to their place of origin. Maharishi Jyotish is that science and technology which is able to calculate and then predict the type of influence that has been created by our past actions, and which will return to us at a particular time and place.
Based upon this highly specific analysis, Maharishi Yagyas are recommended. If the influence approaching us is not a favourable one, a Maharishi Yagya is needed that will generate the specific life-supporting influence to neutralise it. If the influence approaching us is favourable, then Maharishi Yagya performances are recommended to enhance our good fortune. This is the whole secret of Maharishi Yagyas -- to know the influence of the life trends which are going to come, and to know how to generate the appropriate life-supporting influences which will either counteract or enhance these trends.
Avert the Danger That Has Not Yet Come
Predictions of Maharishi Jyotish help us become aware of our future life trends so that Maharishi Yagyas can be performed in due time. This is very important since Maharishi Yagyas are most effective when performed before the trends or events have begun to manifest in our lives. Maharishi Jyotish together with Maharishi Yagyas provide a very powerful technology to help avert or minimise problems and enhance success in all areas of life. Maharishi Yagyas are done for families, companies, organisations, countries, etc., as well as for individuals.
Maharishi Vedic pandits
The correct performance of a Yagya from the level of pure consciousness by properly trained Vedic Pandits (experts) is essential. Only Maharishi Vedic Pandits have been thoroughly trained in India under Maharishi’s guidance to be deeply grounded in the Vedic Tradition and perform from that silent level of expanded consciousness which will ensure the most powerful and correct results
Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health
and Maharishi Yagyas
The practical contribution of Maharishi Jyotish to Maharishis Vedic Approach to Health lies in the analysis of the root causes of disease and the diagnosis of the negative trends and influences of the Grahas (planets) that have led to ill health. Maharishi Jyotish is able to identify, in the life of a person, those influences that lie at the root of a disease, and to recommend specific Maharishi Yagyas as remedial measures to help counteract these negative trends and bring support to medical treatments.
The state of perfect health is a state of perfect integration of the physiology. The ideal structure and functioning of the physiology replicates the structure of total knowledge, total Natural Law, ensuring perfect harmony between all the different components of the physiology, and between the individual physiology and its counterparts in the cosmic physiology. Maharishi Jyotish and Maharishi Yagyas help to integrate the microcosm of individual physiology with the macrocosm of the cosmic physiology.
