Theoretical Basis
Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health uses a model for understanding health and disease that is fundamentally different from modern medicine. According to MVAH researcher Hari Sharma, MVAH views the body as an abstract pattern of intelligence where as he feels modern medicine views the body as a machine. He says that the worldview of MVAH is closer to the reality described by 20th century physics, which challenged the reductionist materialist worldview by finding that quantum mechanical phenomena contradict the idea of solid matter, that causality is less definite, that material existence is connected in unexpected and nonlocal ways, and that a reductionist view is untenable at the quantum level. Sharma says that "Vedic thought discusses a unified field of pure, nonmaterial intelligence and consciousness whose modes of vibration manifest as the material universe." Disease results from losing connection with this underlying field of intelligence.
