Thus we find that every individual is Cosmic, containing all the Laws of Nature, the entire Veda and Vedic Literature, all the planets and stars, and all the Devatås, and that the story of the RåmåyaΔ is the story of Natural Law, continually taking place in our own physiology. In locating any character, relationship, or event from the RåmåyaΔ within the human physi- ology, consistency will be our guiding principle. This means that whenever we correlate a char- acter with a part of the body, it must be consistent with all the activities, relationships, stories, and past and future considerations related to that character. All these details must also be con- sistent with the physiological structures and functions corresponding to other related characters and events in the narrative. In Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature, the forty aspects of Veda and the Vedic Literature were located within our physiology. Now we are examining a story involving kings, the incarnations of divinities, the incarnations of negative powers, and the manifestations of various personalities such as animals, demons, etc., who interact in the field of life in the natural evolutionary process of Natural Law. Each of these is an expression of Nat- ural Law in a physical form, and helps tell the story of Natural Law in terms of a drama. We will begin our investigation in Section I with an overview of the main principles of Maha- rishi’s Vedic Science, so that we can understand the context in which this study takes place. In this we will see how the diverse universe unfolds from the supreme, unified reality of life, and how each of us grows and evolves to higher states of consciousness. We will then explore the basic systems within the human body, so that the correlations between the RåmåyaΔ and physi- ology are rich and meaningful. Chapters III and IV explore the basic fundamentals of the physi- ology such as space, energy, structure, and function, and how they relate to the six fundamental Devatås. In Section II we begin the comparative study of the RåmåyaΔ and human physiology, following the narrative as revealed by Vålm¡ki. Section III first retraces the path of Råm in the physiology and compares it to his travels throughout India, and then summarizes the salient aspects of the other two main characters of the RåmåyaΔ: S¡tå and Hanumån. In Section IV, various aspects of characters appearing in other parts of the Vedic Literature, which are somewhat related to the RåmåyaΔ, are described and correlated with corresponding physiological structures. While reading this book from beginning to end gives a most complete appreciation of the topic, readers who are familiar with some aspects can certainly proceed directly to the chapters and sections of their interest.
