Shiksha

Shiksha is one of the structuring dynamics of Rk Veda. It highlights the quality of EXPRESSION involved in structuring Rk Veda. With reference to consciousness, Shiksha comprises the specific sets of laws of Nature that are engaged in promoting the quality of Rishi — the observer, the witnessing quality — within the Samhita level of consciousness, providing a structure to the eternally silent, self-referral, self-sufficient, fully awake state of consciousness, which is intimately personal to everyone.(complete table of qualities)

In the physiology, Shiksha is represented by the structures which compute and express the internal aspects of the physiology, such as its biochemical constituents, temperature, pressure, etc. (the expressions of the autonomic nervous system).

These expressions are channeled via the autonomic ganglia. These are 36 on each side of the spinal cord, corresponding to the 36 books of  Shiksha.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi


Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
on the importance of
regular practice of the
Transcendental Meditation technique:

Through Transcendental Meditation the awareness of the individual gains self-referral consciousness; it identifies with  the self-referral state of consciousness, Samhita level of consciousness, the field of pure intelligence — infinite Creative Intelligence — and through the self-referral dynamics of self-referral consciousness, the diversified state of the awareness of the individual realizes the concentrated power of Natural Law in its unified state, and through practice lives Natural Law in daily life.

Maharishi University of Management, p. 183
