Career

Over four decades ago, Deepak obtained a certified license from Massachusetts. It wasn’t that long that he opted to major in the branch of physiology (endocrinology). He first showcased his medical skills at Tuffs University, the Harvard and later at Boston University.

In 1980 Chopra worked behind the scene as chief of staff at New England Memorial Hospital. In 1981 with the help and advice from great physician Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Deepak was asked to major in Ayurvedic practice and meditation.

Deepak resigned from his previous position claiming that doctors prescribe loads of drugs to ill patients. In other words, he considered himself a “drug pusher.” 

It first started as a joke when he earned Maharishi Ayur-Veda Products International co-founding name. At some point, he became the director of the Maharishi center located in Massachusetts. He then formulated the slogan “quantum healing” meaning an ill person can be cured by correcting imbalanced hormones. That’s how “quantum mechanism” was born.
