The almighty nature is beautifully performing and providing everything for a harmonious life. Science is well developed to remove drudgeries in material life so that man lives happily and peacefully. Even then, humanity in general continues to be in the grip of turmoil due to lack of wisdom in the field of physical health, mental health, spiritual health and social harmony. To retrieve mankind from these sufferings Swamiji Vethathiri Maharishi, a philosopher in Tamil Nadu, India, had formulated and designed a spiritual system of life education for all to attain physical, mental and social perfection leading to peace in individuals and in the world.

It helps in postponing ageing process, minimizing disorders of old age, maintenance of youthfulness, develops resistance against diseases and helps in curing diseases, as the sexual vital fluid is purified and intensified, progeny of benefaction is possible. Simplified Meditation practices Normally the life energy is functioning at ‘Mooladhar’ near the sex gland. Under this condition, the mind is more emotional in an accelerated and aggravated condition through sensory and physical activities. By changing the working centre to ‘Agna Chakra’, point between eyebrows and meditating there, the mental frequency is reduced to alpha wave level. Here, sharpness in intelligence and peace of mind sets in. In Thuria meditation, ‘Crown Chakra’, the brain wave is brought down to ‘Theta’ range 5-7 cps. Sublimation of self through introspection is achieved at this level. Besides this, practices to amplify and intensify the bio-magnetism also are taught.
