The Vedas address all aspects of existence through Dharma i.e., the natural laws that uphold the universe, which reflect not only matter and energy but life, mind and consciousness.
We can find among the Vedic sciences a whole range of sciences from astronomy and chemistry to psychology and surgery, extending to astrology and to the science of Yoga itself. We can call this integral approach to both the spiritual and material sciences as ‘Vedic science.’
Traditional India never saw a conflict between science and spirituality. It never suppressed science or art in favour of religion. Rather its arts and sciences developed in harmony with spirituality. However, it did discriminate between the material and the spiritual sciences on the grounds on its objective perceptions.
Vedic practices are mindful techniques based on ancient writings, the Vedas, which dip into the depths of spirit and self. But Vedic practices offer very practical ways for modern people to move closer to our inner selves, which is the best way to attain goals in outer world.
Hereby I try to put across some Vedic practices that are used by highly successful people.
1.A yogic lifestyle for healthy mind-body and soul:

It is a very subtle process of channelizing one’s energies into a particular direction. It provides with all-round fitness, Weight balance, Stress relief, Improved immunity, Increased energy.

It also helps decrease anxiety, increase emotional stability, and brings clarity of mind. But the most important benefit is that it helps you get a little closer to having some peace of mind and develop strong intuitions for better decision making.
- Pranayama for repairing and maintaining health: Prana is the energy of life itself. It runs the universe to smallest of living being. Pranayama is the art of aligning ourselves with this energy, through our breath. When we start paying attention to our breath, we will notice that it is a powerful way to focus energy. Pranayama is disease destructor, boosts vigour, heals ailments, boosts immunity, maintains weight & all other balances in body and takes closer to meditation.

- Guru for right direction:
The word Guru can mean having a spiritual Guru or a modern-day mentor. in Sanskrit, it literally means “one who dispels darkness (ignorance)”. We can each benefit from having a mentor who provides guidance in times of crisis, guides us through our practical journey of life and keeps us grounded to realities while giving strength to fly in horizons of dreams.
