“Although there are certainly many things in the world to be put right, we shall not be able to accomplish this humane ideal by merely reshuffling the environment. It will never humanly succeed until we can see and appreciate that environment at its full value, until we can envision all its possibilities with expanded mind and heart so that they may be actualized to the advantage of everyone and everything in nature.”
—Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
On Redefining Sustainability:
“Redefining Sustainability: Life in Accord with Natural Law through Maharishi Vedic Science is an exploration of the interface between two disciplines: sustainability science and Maharishi Vedic Science. It provides not only in-depth consideration of principles, theories and concepts associated with sustainability, but also measured analyses of practical techniques, methods, and programs which have been applied throughout the world to achieve the goals of a sustainable future.
“The topic of sustainable futures is common and widespread in today’s social, political, economic, and academic discourse. Many theories and approaches have been advanced, and each undoubtedly contributes its share to creating processes, programs, systems and practices that can be maintained without depleting itself or its inputs, and which does not damage its surroundings. However, this book presents the interested reader with something different; it presents not only the theory but more importantly the practical techniques for creating sustainable futures through Maharishi Vedic Science. I therefore, highly recommend this book to anyone interested in creating individual and collective sustainability.”
