Eating-Right Extends Far Beyond What’s on the Menu Part 2— Vedic Organic Agriculture: the most nourishing food for all students and every nation (See May Archives for Part 1, entitled 'Eating right extends far beyond what's on the menu') His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has explained that high quality food is essential for people in every nation to create positive, evolutionary thoughts. Maharishi has quoted a saying from India: ‘“Mind depends on the quality of food one eats.” This means that the thinking and behaviour of the population has its basis in the quality of food.’ The consciousness of the farmer is vitally important in producing nourishing food for the population of the nation. Maharishi has explained that it is essential for Vedic Education to raise the farmer’s consciousness—and his children’s consciousness—to Vedic Consciousness. This means consciousness in tune with Total Natural Law, that which administers the universe. Maharishi has said, ‘…Vedic Education for the family of the farmer is so vital that its importance can never be sufficiently emphasized.’ When the farmer enjoys a high level of consciousness, Vedic Consciousness, then the food he produces will enliven the positive influence of Natural Law throughout the consciousness of the entire population of a nation. Maharishi went on to say, ‘Vedic Consciousness of the farmer will produce a Vedic quality in the crop, which will produce a Vedic quality of food, which will create a Vedic quality in the consciousness of the whole population.’ How does the farmer develop Vedic Consciousness? This can easily be accomplished through the practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Technique, which allows the mind to experience the source of thought, the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature. When the farmer —and his family—align their awareness with this field of Total Natural Law, they enjoy support of the infinite creativity of the administrators of the universe, all the Laws of Nature. The seasons come properly and in time for maximum growth of the plants. The farmer draws this maximum support of Nature for his crops through Vedic Agriculture. Maharishi has explained that the ancient techniques of Vedic Farming were destroyed thousands of years ago by foreign rule in India. Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture has revived the ancient Vedic practices for enlivening Total Natural Law in crops. Through Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture, the consciousness of the farmer draws the support of Natural Law for the best weather for his plants to grow properly. Through his Vedic recitation, the farmer further stimulates his crop to mature fully, providing abundant, high quality nourishment. Anyone who has every tasted vegetables or milk products produced by Maharishi Vedic Agriculture can attest to the special, mouth-watering, revitalizing quality of the food. The eater naturally feels fulfilled from eating this nourishing produce. Preliminary research is also showing that Maharishi Vedic Organic plants contain more nutrients than regular organic plants. Using the procedures of Maharishi Vedic Agriculture, the farmer and his children recite the proper Vedic vibrations to the plants as they grow. Maharishi explains that this recitation stimulates the unmanifest sap of the crop to blossom into the fullness of its manifest value. With Vedic farming, the fortune of the Vedic farmer blossoms in affluence. Maharishi has explained:
Now, with the re-enlivenment of Vedic Agriculture, farmers all over the world will enjoy the blissful life of farming in accord with Total Natural Law and their food will nourish the world’s population, elevating all people to enjoy higher states of consciousness. Maharishi has said: ‘If the procedure of growing food in the fields is enriched and supported by the Vedic Vibrations of all the forty qualities of intelligence available in the forty fields of the Vedic Literature, the quality of food will be nourishing for all and the thought, speech, action and behaviour of everyone will be in the direction of evolution. Society will enjoy fresh waves of progress, season after season. Governmental administration will be free from problems.’ A population that eats from the harvest of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture will enjoy fullness of Natural Law and will radiate contentment and positive value of life in accord with Natural Law.
