    Need / Scope for Ayurveda in 
    developed Countries
   It is truism that 
     What you really value is what you miss, not what 
     you have           - Jorge Luis Borges 
     TM has become an extremely valuable commodity for the 
     world today,  precisely because it provides what the world 
     misses the most. 
   The  low-income  developing  countries  miss  the  modern 
     medicine because they cannot afford it whereas high-income 
     developed world miss the holistic wisdom implicit in TM. 
   The symbiotic mutually interdependent handicap of the two 
     worlds of the world might, it is hoped, through TM, solve the 
     global  health  crises  elucidated  at  the  outset,  even  while 
     giving  a  boost  to  the  bottleneck  stagnation  in  modern 
     medicine 
     – a medicine that medicine desperately needs.
