The Contribution of the Maharishi Ayurveda Council of Physicians
by Anand Shrivastava
Around Maharishi there were many great seers, called rishis in Vedic wisdom. The very word Maharishi means “the greatest of great seers, one who sees truth.”
Of all the luminaries Maharishi gathered around him in the early 1980s to delve deep into the ayurvedic texts, there are three that he honored as rishis in the field of ayurveda: Dr. B.D. Triguna, Dr. Balraj Maharishi, and Dr. Dwivedi. These three master vaidyas (ayurvedic experts) are revered in India as custodians of this precious knowledge of life, and they made many invaluable contributions that ensured the authenticity and effectiveness of our products.

Focus on Fall Health 
As the dog days of summer wind down and a hint of crisp fall weather cools the night air, you might find yourself suddenly looking forward to going back to school or picking up the pace at work after a lazier summer.
The seasons affect us. A saying in Maharishi Ayurveda, “As is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm,” captures an important principle: the outer environment affects our inner state of mind and body. When the weather is hot and humid during Pitta season (July-October), those Pitta qualities of heat build in the body as well. When the air is cool and dry in Vata season (November-February), we experience more of those qualities inside us.

My Vedic Kitchen™ 
Recipes Especially for Fall Cleansing
Maharishi Ayurveda recommends that we eat special foods during the two weeks when one season is changing into another. Called Ritu Sandhi, this gap between seasons is a delicate time for the digestion, as the doshas are fluctuating and digestive capacity can also waver. A light, purifying diet is recommended. Avoid meat, leftovers and processed or junk foods during this time. Eat more hot soups, more hot liquids, and more cooked foods with less oil. Dhal soups, rice, and cooked vegetables are perfect for this cleansing period.
Besides following a purifying diet, you’ll also want to pacify Pitta and Vata doshas, since fall is the junction between the Pitta and Vata seasons. Here are some recipes from Vaidya Manohar that bring these doshas into balance and are perfect for fall cleansing.
