A month rarely passes without alarming news of the population’s declining health. Ancient hunter–gatherers suffered from lifestyle diseases, too, but rarely. This started to change when our ancestors left plains and forests for farms and cities. Rates of these and other so-called diseases of civilization began to rise.1 Many modern people, especially those in the West, have come to see these diseases as part of life.

  • First Person Accounts of Yoga Meditation Yield Clues to the Nature of Information in Experience
    Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy, vol. 13, no. 1, 2017 FIRST PERSON ACCOUNTS OF YOGA MEDITATION YIELD CLUES TO THE NATURE OF INFORMATION IN EXPERIENCE Reshma Shetkar1, Alex Hankey1 and H.R.Nagendra1 ABSTRACT: Since the millennium, first person accounts of experience have been accepted as philosophically valid, potentially useful sources of information about the nature of mind and self. Several Vedic sciences rely on such first person accounts to discuss experience and consciousness. This paper shows that their insights define the information structure of experience in agreement with a scientific theory of mind fulfilling all presently known philosophical and scientific conditions. Experience has two separate components, its information content, and a separate ‘witness aspect’, which can reflect on all forms of experience, and with training be strengthened until its power of reflection identifies it as the innermost aspect of ‘self’. The Vedic sciences, Sankhya, Yoga and Vedanta develop these themes. Sankhya identifies the different aspects of experience, outer and inner; Yoga practices lead the mind to inner states without information content (samadhi) in which the experience of the witness (sakshi) is strengthened and deepened. Vedanta states the nature of the ‘self’ is to know itself directly without intermediary. All this requires the witness to have a singular loop structure. The information structure of experience therefore has two aspects, information content plus a singular loop endowing it with a subjective sense of ‘Self’.

  • Dr. Alex Hankey Distinguished Professor, S-VYASA, Bangalore, India
    PHYCHIATRIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH 27th – 28th April 2020, London UK Dr. Alex Hankey Distinguished Professor, S-VYASA, Bangalore, India Dr. Alex Hankey attended Trinity College, Cambridge, gaining a First in Natural Sciences; he studied theoretical physics at M.I.T, under Professors Robert Gilmore, H. Eugene Stanley, and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg. In 1969, he learned Transcendental Meditation, becoming a teacher of the technique in 1973. After a year at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, he joined Maharishi International University, working in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's organization for 30 years. Since his return to research in 2002, he has worked extensively developing detailed theories of complementary systems of medicine based on modern complexity biology. This has led to deep understanding of Naturopathy, Yoga and Yoga Medicine, Ayurveda and other areas of Traditional Complementary and Alternative Medicine. More importantly, extensions of the molecular biology theory of biology, on which modern biomedicine is based have resulted. The expanded theory of biology utilizing complexity together with its main results leads to a picture where an autopsies in the form of self-organized criticality optimizes system functions. This has led to a new definition of health, and new understanding of how physical and psychological healths are maintained. Also emerging are reasons for the psychophysiology's capacity for self-healing; and why organism function is organized according to Ayurveda’s Tridosha structure. His knowledge of critical phenomena have also enabled Dr Hankey to show how critical instabilities in complexity biology provide the foundation for consciousness and organism intelligence, in which freedom of choice is a possibility, in contradiction to Descartes and western views of the past 500 years.

    Staging ‘Open-minded Science’: Culture and Evidence in Contemporary Ayurvedic Laboratory Research in India A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ritika Ganguly IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M Langford Karen-Sue Taussig November 2012 © Ritika Ganguly 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation has been possible because of my friend and partner, Vinod Srinivasan, his love, constant cheering, and unmatchable warmth. I am immensely grateful for my family: Kaveri Ganguly and Shamu Ganguly - my first handholds - always inspiring through their art and ability to love, reassure, and question; for Samrat Bose - my very best friend; and for Nilanjana Bose and Shantanu Bose for caring and loving me in a way that only family can.

I cannot thank Jean Langford enough for her expertise, suggestions, recommendations and close reading of my chapters that have enhanced this dissertation, draft to draft. Thanks to David Valentine’s vital inputs throughout my graduate career, David Lipset’s support, and Simona Sawhney’s invaluable insights, reassuring presence, and awe-inspiring teaching. I am deeply indebted to Padma Venkatasubramanian. Without her, my fieldwork would have remained a well laid out plan on paper.

  • Doshas, Subdoshas and Dosha Prakritis ABSTRACT in Traditional Ayurveda, Basic Concepts Such As Tridosha Are Introduced Didactically
    Ancient Science of Life, Vol. 29, No.3 (2010) Pages 6 - 18 6 Establishing the Scientific Validity of Tridosha Part 1: Doshas, Subdoshas and Dosha Prakritis ABSTRACT In traditional Ayurveda, basic concepts such as Tridosha are introduced didactically. Students of Ayurveda learn to appreciate their practical value through clinical experience; their validity is empirical. In an age where validity of concepts is judged by their scientific relevance, establishing the scientific validity of Tridosha is a program of significance. It requires translating concept and practical application into the idiom of modern biology and medicine. *Alex Hankey PhD Four different complementary approaches have been proposed to do so: factor analysis of human physiology; systems analysis of organism function; correlation of Dosha and genomic variations - Ayugenomics; and correlation of Dosha and cellular function. Together these four independent approaches present compelling evidence that the family of Dosha based, Ayurveda fundamental concepts - the three Doshas, their fifteen subdoshas, innate Dosha balance in the individual (prakriti), and Dosha imbalances (vikriti) are scientifically valid. This paper concerns the first three. (1) The systems approach shows how Tridosha applies to every living organism from the first cells, and how it is inherited and diversified in the history of life. (2) Ayugenomics confirms Dosha's inheritance. (3) Each Dosha is responsible for regulating an essential aspect of organism function, connected to a recognised definition of

  • Quantum Reality and Theory of Shunya
    ICCR International Conference on Quantum Reality and Theory of Shunya December 09‐10, 2016 Azad Bhavan, New Delhi Hkkjrh; INDIAN lkaLd`frd COUNCIL FOR lEca/k CULTURAL ifj"kn~ izks- yksds'k pUæ RELATIONS Prof. Lokesh Chandra v/;{k / President Foreword During any discourse on India's contributions to the human civilization, what is left behind or least emphasized is its achievements in the field of science and technology and Indian academia has miserably failed to assess and evaluate influence of Indian knowledge of science and technology on the development of science and technology in other parts of the world. Government of India, under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi has posed unprecedented impetus on promotion and propagation of India's contribution in the field of science and technology. Following that path, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) has planned a number of programmes and projects to explore and assess the development of science and technology in India and its overall impact. Academic discourse in the form of seminars and conferences is one such step and a number of seminars and conferences are being organized this year highlighting that aspect. International conference on 'Quantum Reality and Intimations of Shunya' is one among them. I am thankful to Prof. S. R. Bhatt for his coordination and cooperation to make it happen and hope that the Conference will be a great academic success. vktkn Hkou] bUæizLFk ,LVsV] ubZ fnYyh&110002/Azad Bhawan, Indraprastha Estate, New Delhi-110002 Vsyh-/Tel.: 23378616, 23370698, QSDl/Fax: 23370702, bZ&esy/E-mail: [email protected] 3 egkfuns'kd Hkkjrh; lkaLÑfrd lEca/k ifj"kn~ vejsaæ [kVqvk Foreword Concept of Shunya is one of the foremost contributions of India to the world.
