Total Knowledge for everyone During a recent global celebration of the Global Country of World Peace, Dr Peter Warburton—Raja of England for the Global Country of World Peace—provided an inspiring overview of the curriculum of Maharishi Vedic University (MVU). Maharishi Vedic University delivers Total Knowledge to every individual and Invincibility to every nation; it is the vehicle to create ideal citizens and permanent coherence-creating groups in every country. The overview of the curriculum of Maharishi Vedic University will constitute the first lesson of every course that students take at Maharishi Vedic University. Every discipline will be studied in the light of Total Knowledge, which means wholeness, totality—Veda. The Veda starts with the syllable: 'A'* (pronounced as in 'spa'). The entire Veda is embodied in that first syllable: 'A'. All knowledge, all possible disciplines indeed, are found in that one sound. All areas of life, all the 12 faculties of Maharishi Vedic University, all converge in the single sound: 'A'. This is a process of synthesis of all disciplines into the single sound 'A'. The complementary process to synthesis in gaining Total Knowledge is analysis. Analysis of 'A' reveals the process of sequential emergence of the entire Veda, the human physiology, the ever-expanding universe, and ultimately the whole field of Brahm—the Totality—where diversity is again unified in one grand wholeness. So we synthesize everything in 'A,' and then we analyse 'A' and find everything within A'. Veda is the science and technology of Total Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe. Veda is Total Knowledge in theory and in practice. Total Knowledge is total science; but it is also total technology—it is the total science and technology of the subject. Maharishi Vedic University is the university of total science and total technology for each discipline. That science and technology, fortunately for us, is described in its completeness in the texts of the Vedic Literature. The entire curriculum has been condensed into one wall chart entitled: 'Maharishi Vedic University for Total Knowledge: Curriculum at a Glance'. The 12 faculties of the University are arranged across the top of the chart. A definition is provided on the chart for the knowledge offered by each faculty at Maharishi Vedic University. This knowledge embraces all the traditional content of that discipline, but on the foundation of the field of Total Knowledge, and as an expression of Total Knowledge. *In the chart, Maharishi has defined 'A' as follows: 'A' is the first syllable of Rk Veda. Rk Veda starts AK NI MI LE PU RO HI TAM....... 'A' is the first sound. 'A' is defined in the Vedic Language, in the Vedic Literature, as total speech, A-karo vai sarva vak—'A' only is total speech. Total speech of whom? Total speech of Totality, Atma [the Self].’ Therefore, 'A' is the expression of transcendental, self-referral consciousness. It is the expression of infinite silence and infinite dynamism within the infinite ocean of consciousness. That is why Maharishi says that 'A' is the syllable of Total Knowledge, the Veda. Maharishi has also revealed that because 'A' is the first sound of the Veda, it contains the blueprint of the entire universe, as everything emerges from there as the first sprouting of a seed.
