"The wisdom of the East" is big business in America. There are probably more yoga studios in Santa Monica than in all of India. The problem is, the American way of yoga and meditation are out of sync with the real meaning of these practices. We're putting the cart before the horse. In traditional times, instruction in yoga and meditation came only after years of service with a guru or teacher. The real purpose of yoga and meditation is not just to execute difficult poses or get calmed down after a hard day. The purpose is to create awareness and connection with a system that includes every aspect of yourself -- and that system extends to encompass the whole world and even the infinite universe.This book will show how your body can be a laboratory for understanding the system that underlies it --- leading to an intimate understanding of ALL systems in the universe. Further, you'll learn to use that understanding as a gateway to grasping what physicists call "the theory of everything." And it's not just theory. It's practical information that will improve your life in mind, body, and spirit.

About the author (2016)

Dr. V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai, the inventor of email and polymath, holds four degrees from MIT and is a world-renowned systems scientist. He is a Fulbright Scholar, Lemelson-MIT Awards Finalist, First Outstanding Scientist and Technologist of Indian Origin (STIO), Westinghouse National Science Talent Honors Award recipient, and U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation nominee. As a child, he was inspired by his grandmother's practicing Siddha, India's oldest system of traditional medicine, which led him to a major breakthrough: Systems Health, an integrative framework linking eastern and western medicine. His most recent invention, CytoSolveŽ is a technology that enables rapid discovery of multi-combination therapeutics without animal testing. In 1978, as a precocious 14-year-old, he was accepted to a special program in computer science at New York University. Later, at the University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey (UMDNJ) as a Research Fellow, he developed the first electronic system to replicate the entire interoffice mail system (Inbox, Outbox, Folders, Address Book, Memo, etc.), which he named "email," defining email we all use and experience today. In 1982, the United States government officially recognized him as the inventor of email by awarding the first U.S. Copyright for "Email," when copyright was the only protection for software inventions.
