Contemporary Ayurveda

Hari Sharma & Christopher Clark

This is the first book we would recommend for anyone interested in learning about Ayurveda and bringing Ayurvedic solutions into one’s life. The book’s approach is Maharishi Ayur-Veda. This is a revival of the ancient knowledge structured by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and leading ayurvedic practitioners from India. This is a contemporary, consciousness-based model that incorporates Western scientific knowledge, especially of physics and the unified field, with the traditional ayurvedic approach. The book is comprehensive, covering both theory and practice. Well written, the book is neither too dry nor too esoteric for the average reader, but should also appeal to sophisticated Western medical practitioners. The reader will find a complete theoretical basis for understanding Ayurveda, along with a comprehensive practical manual for those who wish to benefit from the science of life.
