Charak Samhita
Charak Samhita

Samhita is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda. It highlights the BALANCING — HOLDING TOGETHER, NOURISHING, and SUPPORTING — quality involved in structuring Rk Veda. With reference to consciousness, Charak Samhita comprises the specific sets of laws of Nature that are engaged 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. (complete table of qualities)

In the physiology, [Charak Samhita]is represented by the cell nucleus. The cellnucleus contains the genetic material thatguides all cellular activity and growth.

The DNA in the cell nucleus contains all theknowledge about all cycles, cell shape,specification, and response to variousconditions. It maintains the activity of thecell in harmony with all other cells. It ensuresorderliness and balance. This is the'balancing, holding together, nourishing, and supporting' quality of the cell nucleus forall tissues of the body.

on the importance of
regular practice of the
Transcendental Meditation technique:


This discovery, in the field of physiology, of the connection between the structures of the physiology and the structures of the Vedic Literature (Vedic Sounds) has given us the opportunity to maintain a healthy physiology by maintaining wakefulness, or alertness, of the inner intelligence of every aspect of the physiology, and this is possible through

  • the experience of the total field of intelligence through
    Transcendental Meditation,

  • and verifying experiences through the Vedic Literature.
