Rk Veda Pratishakhya Sanskrit
   His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
   on the importance of regular practice of
   the Transcendental Meditation technique:
Rk Veda Pratishakhya is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda. It
highlights the quality of ALL-PERVADING WHOLENESS involved in
structuring Rk Veda. With reference to consciousness, Rk Veda Pratishakhya
comprises the specific sets of laws of Nature that are engaged
 

Every aspect of the Veda and Vedic Literature is the
expression of the totality of Natural Law--Brahm--and all
Veda and Vedic Literature taken as a whole is Brahm, and all
this Totality is the nature of self-referral consciousness--
the Self:

This is the miraculous structure of the Constitution of the
Universe: it is fully awake, it is fully available in the
simplest state of human awareness--Transcendental
Consciousness--self-referral consciousness. The
administrator of the universe (total Natural Law) is lively in
every grain of creation and is available to everyone within
himself.

in promoting the quality of Rishi--the observer, the witnessing quality--within the
Samhita level of consciousness, providing a structure to the eternally silent,
self-referral, self-sufficient, fully awake state of consciousness,
which is intimately personal to everyone.

  Rk Veda Pratishakhya is the holistic, 
transcendental aspect of wholeness itself-- 
totally integrated, with every point in infinity, 
and infinity in every point. Rk Veda 
Pratishakhya represents the all-pervading 
field of consciousness


Layer I of the cerebral cortex--the plexiform 
layer--does not send projections outside 
itself, and it receives projections from all 
other layers. It is self-referral wholeness, 
corresponding to Rk Veda Pratishakhya.
