Ayurveda teaches that every cell in every living being is a microcosm of the universe, and that the universe is also represented in each cell of a living being. When we increase our understanding of this relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, we can apply this understanding to clinical and daily practice, and enhance positive results for healing, for all human beings and the planet we inhabit.

When we increase our understanding of the relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm, we can apply the knowledge thus gained to clinical and daily practice, and enhance positive results for our patients, for us, for the earth, and beyond. The following are some of the topics that are to be woven into the fabric of this conference:

1)    How Jyotisha, the qualities and movements of the nine “planets” (navagrahas), the twelve constellations of the zodiac (rashis), and other celestial influences impact human physiology and experience, how we might detect those, their influences, and how to improve our relationship with them.
2)    How sthapatyaveda or the science of “understanding space” helps improve interconnectedness
3)    How gandharvaveda or the science and art of music and dance also contributes to interconnectedness
4)    How tantra explains the interconnectedness at a deeper level
5)    how mantras and pujas also facilitate this holistic approach towards the study of man and nature
6)    how yoga is similarly positioned
and so on.

All of the above will be studied in relation to the healing process and how it can be enhanced with a considerably deeper understanding of these subjects. Thus Ayurveda will be the central theme around which all these discussions will take place.
Dr. Claudia Welch and Dr. Robert Svoboda plan together to spend about an hour with participants, exploring implications of the graha (planet) of the day with regard to health and disease; and some time answering questions. Dr. Vasant Lad is also one of the scheduled speakers at this conference, so it is a rare opportunity for us all to be together in India.
