My background in food and drug science and my expertise in regulatory compliance and customer service make me a valuable asset. I am dedicated to delivering innovative solutions and helping businesses thrive in the ever-changing landscape of the food and flavors sectors to build healing attributes in food and medicine by design.

As a recent PhD graduate in Atharvaveda, my research focused on the intricate relationship between our thoughts, emotions, willpower, and various elements, such as breath, food, water, sunlight, and sound, and how they collectively contribute to restoring and maintaining our health.

In my thesis, I explored the significance of a self-organizing, multilayered, and integrated system that allows for extensive interactions, ultimately promoting optimal body and mind functioning. To support this concept, I examined two case studies: the self-organization and complex multi-layer self-assembly of DNA and the multilayered structure of silicon chips that resemble the behavior of neurons in the human brain. These case studies demonstrated how a balanced constitution of doshas and a multilayered structure could facilitate healthy functioning.

My research findings suggest that active principles, which support such a complex and self-organizing structure with ample surface area for activity, contribute to a rapid and holistic restoration of the body’s balance, ultimately leading to accelerated healing processes.

One of the challenges highlighted in my thesis is the achievement of quick delivery with non-violence while rehabilitating the uninterrupted tridoshic bioenergy balance using active medicinal principles. Establishing a swift mind-body harmony bridging process is crucial to facilitate prompt self-healing. Restorative active principles that enable multilayered and self-organizing matrices can effectively aid in achieving this necessary mind-body harmony.

The research findings provide a foundation for future researchers to focus on formulating herbal medicines based on the principles of multilayered and self-organizing matrices, aiming to achieve rapid and harmless self-healing characteristics. Such formulations should consider the compatibility of active medicinal principles with similar constructs in the body and the crucial aspect of mind-body harmony bridging.

Furthermore, it provides a baseline for future researchers to develop methods that ensure quick delivery with non-violence while rehabilitating uninterrupted tridoshic bioenergy balance using active medicinal principles.

In summary, my research delved into the profound connections between our internal state, external elements, and the restoration of health.

Question by Ms. Esha Subedi: How are the meat and other food industries being disrupted by applying quality functions to vegetarian meat (meatless meat), vegan cheese, and cannabis-less cannabis?

Answer by Dr. Ghimire: The disruption caused by applying quality functions to vegetarian meat (meatless meat), vegan cheese, and cannabis-less cannabis has brought about several realizations and advancements in the food industry.

One significant realization is that meat can be produced without animal sources. Plant-based creations, such as meat analogs from agriculture, offer sustainable alternatives to traditional meat production. Additionally, the recent development of Solein, a protein derived from thin air, has opened up possibilities for alternative food sources, even in space or resource-limited environments like Mars or the moon.

Cannabis-less cannabis had provided researchers with a placebo alternative for testing medical marijuana, especially during times when cannabis was not globally legal. These innovations have expanded research and development options, promoting advancements in the booming cannabis industry.

The disruption caused by these innovations has emphasized that meat production does not necessarily require the slaughter of animals. Lab-grown meat can be a viable solution, similar to bread and biscuits manufacturing. Animal stem cells can be utilized like a beer factory production model if non-vegan sources are chosen.

On the other hand, choosing vegan sources demonstrates that meat can be effectively substituted with plant-based alternatives. These advancements offer promising solutions to the future challenge of feeding an ever-growing global population amidst limitations in agriculture.

Ultimately, the disruption brought about by these innovations signifies that scientists have identified viable options to address future food challenges. These advancements ensure that the world will have alternative ways to sustainably produce food and meet the needs of a growing population.

Question by Ms. Esha Subedi: Do you believe an innovation gap exists between modern scientific achievements and ancient Vedic principles?

Dr. Ghimire answers: There is undoubtedly an innovation gap between modern scientific achievements and ancient Vedic principles. The Veda primarily encompasses ancient scientific knowledge known as Vedic knowledge. This knowledge originates from deep meditation (tapas), which allows for the realization of supreme truth and eternal wisdom. The Rishis and Rishikas utilized their heightened consciousness and advanced reasoning abilities to distill their realizations into concise hymns.

In contrast, modern science heavily relies on the collective power of individuals in laboratory settings. However, even in contemporary science, reasoning is vital in formulating hypotheses tested in controlled laboratory environments to determine their validity.

In ancient Vedic methodology, we relied on the boundless power of human imagination and observation to uncover truths. However, these findings were rarely subjected to laboratory testing for empirical verification. On the other hand, modern science has developed advanced laboratories and aids for reasoning, yet many natural phenomena we perceive, experience, and believe still elude measurement by scientific means.

Interestingly, the Vedic principles often delve into realms that modern science struggles to explore. Conversely, modern science frequently encounters limitations that were once overcome by the ancient Vedic approach.

For a comprehensive understanding, these two systems have the potential to complement each other. I make this assertion because both converge upon similar truths at the border between Vedic and modern science.

Thank you.
