Gandharva Veda

Gandharva Veda

Gandharva Veda is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda. It highlights the INTEGRATING and HARMONIZING qualities involved in structuring Rk Veda. With reference to consciousness, Gandharva Veda 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)

Gandharva Veda represents the integrating quality of consciousness. It has predominantly a Rishi quality.

Gandharva Veda is all the cycles and rhythms of the physiology:

    — hormonal secretion
    — metabolism
    — cardiac rhythms
    — circadian rhythms, etc.
which keep the mind and body in tune with the rhythms of Nature.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
on the importance of
regular practice of the
Transcendental Meditation technique:

The development of higher states of consciousness gives a vision of greater creativity. Greater creativity means the ability to perform action from deeper levels of silence.

With regular practice of Transcendental Meditation the individual develops Unity Consciousness, which is the ability to function from the level of silence. This is the development of mastery over Natural Law — mastery over specific Laws of Nature, which is the level of Maharishi's Master Management — automation in administration.
