A grand event has been unfolding in the past month across the North American continent: the 'New Paradigm' tour by leading scientists, artists, and business leaders, which has been inspiring audiences as it progresses through 10 major cities from the West Coast to the East Coast.

The tour began in San Diego and San Francisco, California in early April, delivering a series of cutting-edge presentations entitled 'A New Paradigm: Veda, Consciousness, the Ramayana, and the Self'. In each venue, the event has been exploring the 'meeting point of science and spirituality' through three main themes:

—the sounds of the Veda are blueprints that structure the physiology on every level;
—the applications of this discovery on the collective level of society through large peace-creating groups of Maharishi Vedic Pandits; and
—the profound correlation between the characters, details, and happenings of the Ramayana with every part of the human physiology—described in Ramayan in Human Physiology, the new book by Tony Nader, MD, PhD, which is being released on the tour.

Howard Chancellor, PhD, a researcher in human potential who is the host of the tour, recently explained some of the background of how it developed: Dr Nader brought out his new book, Ramayan in Human Physiology, at the beginning of this year, and in early January gave a course based on the book in MERU, Holland for several hundred people, which was a great success.
