Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University
Established
Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University, established in cooperation with Maharishi University of Management, is including in its curriculum the knowledge and application of the most basic levels of Natural Law in the field of agriculture.Fundamental
By taking recourse to the most fundamental level of Natural Law—the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature—the soil, seed, the weather, and the farmer will receive the full support of Natural Law, bringing fulfilment to the purpose of agriculture.Holistic
Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University introduces the holistically nourishing perspective of agriculture:Agri-Culture
1. Agri-Culture—agreeing with culturing intelligence—intelligence that cultures creation—the culturing intelligence of Natural Law.Culturing
2. To agree with this almighty culturing intelligence of Natural Law, the Will of God, is the theme of the Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University.Creates
3. Natural Law creates life, and culturing life, evolves it to the supreme height of evolution in Unity Consciousness—BrahmiChetana.
Unity
4. In the state of Unity Consciousness, the individual spontaneously lives the total culturing intelligence of Natural Law.Intelligence
5. When we pause over the culturing intelligence of Natural Law, we only marvel at the perfect theme of evolution of Natural Law, which creates, nourishes, and governs life, and systematically, sequentially evolves it to a field of all possibilities in Unity Consciousness with its corresponding physiology.Ever-Evolving
6. While considering the field of agriculture, we give equal importance to both the unmanifest, self-referral unified quality of Natural Law and to its diversifying nature, which present different fields of the ever-evolving physical creation—all fields of knowledge and action on both levels of life—individual and collective (social, national, international, and Cosmic).Seeds
7. The importance of all fields of the seed, the soil, and the weather, and the competence of the human physiology to metabolise all aspects of life through the five senses of perception and action, is the theoretical and practical concern of Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University.Seven States
8. There are seven states of consciousness: Waking State of Consciousness, Dreaming Consciousness, Sleep State of Consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, and Unity Consciousness. Each state of consciousness has its own corresponding physiology, and as consciousness evolves, it always unfolds its steps of evolution through its vibrational modes, which constantly create new expressions of physiology—Navo-Navo bhavati jayamanah (Rk Veda 10.85.19).Universe
9. This is the significance of the word ‘universe’—eternally unified state of self-referral consciousness, or intelligence (Atma), promoting the diversified framework of the physical values of ever-evolving creation—the ever-evolving universe.Self-referral
10. Thus it is clear that the concrete universe is essentially a bundle of vibrational modes of consciousness—eternally reverberating self-referral intelligence. This is upheld by modern Physics, which tells us that all the structures and dynamics of the universe can be understood as resonant modes (vibrations) of underlying quantum fields, and that the most fundamental level of Quantum Cosmology deals with the ‘wave function of the universe’.Power
11. Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University develops higher states of consciousness in the farmer so that his relationship with the soil, seed, and weather is always upheld by the total evolutionary nourishing power of Natural Law.Metabolizing
12. The development of higher states of consciousness depends on the efficiency of the metabolizing systems in the physiology; it depends on how food is metabolized; how water is metabolized; how speech is metabolized; how thoughts and experiences are metabolized by the individual’s consciousness and physiology. So for the evolution of consciousness, every aspect of life is involved.Relationship
13. The relationship between the individual and the whole field of agriculture concerns not only the influence of the soil, seed, weather, and the whole environment, but also the quality of the individual’s metabolic system, which is regulated by his consciousness and physiology.Theme
14. Therefore our theme of agriculture is the theme of bringing the influence of the total potential of Natural Law to the life of the individual, so that he spontaneously utilizes this potential of Natural Law in all his thought, speech, and action, and thereby is never out of the evolutionary, life-supporting influence of Natural Law.Awakening
15. It is fortunate that there is an awakening in the world regarding the highly polluting and hazardous procedures of chemical agriculture, and the serious consequences of growing and eating genetically engineered food.Imbalances
16. There is an ever-rising heap of popular opinion on the hazards of chemically grown and genetically engineered food, and numberless researches documenting the imbalances wrought to soil, seed, and weather through these harmful systems of agriculture.Harmful
17. All these harmful practices are now being replaced by our programmes of Vedic Organic Agriculture. In this context we acknowledge all other organizations who are promoting life-supporting technologies of agriculture.Profound
18. Modern scientific research on organic farming, and profound Vedic Technologies from the ancient Vedic Literature, are our guiding light for knowledge and programmes in the field of agriculture.Literature
19. All our literature on agriculture takes into consideration all values of knowledge—all fields of consciousness and physiology—in order to promote the fastest pace of evolution of life on the individual level, and also on the level of society.Perfection to Life
20. Bringing perfection to the life of the individual, and perfection to the field of national and international administration through healthy food and healthy, evolutionary agricultural practices, is the purposeful programme of Maharishi Vedic Agriculture University.
