The Vedic (VAY-dik) tradition of knowledge is the oldest continuous tradition of knowledge on Earth. The Vedic Tradition includes detailed information on a wide range of topics — from health care to architecture, from agriculture to music. But it focuses especially on knowledge about consciousness, technologies of consciousness, and growth to enlightenment — the state of peak mental performance and optimal health. People sometimes assume that the Vedic wisdom is strictly a cultural tradition, relevant only in India. But in the same way that Newton’s Laws of Motion are not English or Christian, nor Einstein’s Theory of Relativity German or Jewish, the Transcendental Meditation program is a scientific discovery based on laws of nature that are true and universal for all people, all cultures.
