Our awareness flows more easily and we can express more freely when our mental, emotional, and physical states are at their most favorable levels of functional efficiency. This helpful book explains how to experience inner balance and authentic spiritual growth.Ayurveda evolved in India more than two thousand years ago. Because this knowledge is believed to have emerged into human consciousness from the Infinite Field of Being which is the common reality of all souls, it is said that it was taught to people by the gods. It spread eastward throughout Asia, and westward via the Mediterranean countries and Europe. During British rule in India, Ayurvedic practices declined in the urban centers while remaining the treatment of choice among rural populations.There are several Ayurvedic colleges in India, and schools and clinics are rapidly becoming available in Europe and America as public awareness increases and more people are seeking ways to help themselves to actualize and maintain total wellness. The two major Ayurvedic texts are Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Charaka and Sushruta are the names of the compilers of the samhitas, the collected information.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Roy Eugene Davis
Roy Eugene Davis (born 1931 in Leavittsburg, Ohio) is an American Kriya Yoga teacher. Davis was ordained by his guru in 1951 and was appointed as the minister of the Phoenix, Arizona, Self-Realization Fellowship Center in March 1952, shortly after Yogananda's passing. In late 1953, aware of a need to learn to live effectively in the secular world, he withdrew from the organization--but not from his relationship with the Kriya yoga tradition. After 2 years in the U.S. Army Medical Corps at Fort Riley, Kansas, he began his mission as an independent teacher, traveling throughout America to lecture and present classes in dozens of cities. In 1964, he lectured to large audiences in 8 cities in Japan under the auspices of the Seicho-No-Ie movement founded there by Dr. Masaharu Taniguchi. Another lecture tour was sponsored in Japan Seicho-No-Ie in 1978 and a few years later in Brazil. Some of his books are published in nine languages, with more than 40 different editions in print in the U.S. and several countries. He is also the publisher of Truth Journal magazine and writes monthly lessons for CSA members around the world. Davis moved to Lake-Mont, in Northeast Georgia, in 1972 to establish The Center for Spiritual Awareness as a permanent base for his ministry. The first name of this organization had been "Christian Spiritual Alliance".
