Nader has conducted research in
hormonal activity,
neurochemistry,
neuroendocrinology, on the medical role of the
neurotransmitter and on the relationship between age, behavior, diet, seasonal influences and mood. In his 1994 book
Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature, Nader postulated a one-to-one correlation of structure and function between 40 aspects of Vedic literature and 40 parts of human physiology. He also said he discovered similarities between the astrological influence of the planets and parts of the human brain. This body of work is reported to have been "derived from" the Maharishi's ideas and Nader's own training in brain physiology. In May 1995, Nader was a keynote speaker at
Maharishi University of Management and presented his "recent discovery of how Natural Law manages the physiology and the application of this knowledge to prevent and eliminate problems." The book has been described as an attempt at documenting the scientific basis of the Maharishi's "interpretation of
Advaita Vedanta and thus the Vedas … by relating
neuroanatomy and
neurophysiology to Vedic astrology and philosophy". . During a four-day Vedic ceremony in October 2000, Nader was honored by Maharishi as
Maharaja (great king) Adhiraj Rajaraam and given responsibility for the Global Country of World Peace and, in 2008, became the Maharishi's successor. During these transitions, Nader was reportedly given various titles including "Vishwa Prashasak Raja Raam", "Adhi Raam", and "Raja Nader Raam". In 2002, Nader was invited by the mayor of
Maharishi Vedic City to take residence at The Mansion Hotel, which serves as the capital of the conceptual Global Country of World Peace. In 2008, a spokesman said Nader would reign in silence and communicate through his governing council. Nader published his second book, called
Ramayan In Human Physiology in 2011, documenting the correlation between the characters, relationships, locations, and events of the
Valmiki Ramayana with the structures and functions of human physiology. Nader says that his study does not conclude that the
Ramayana belongs to any one religion or race or belief system. Rather, the
Ramayana is the story of Natural Law and how it unfolds in every individual and the universe. During his 2014 course, Hacking Consciousness, at Stanford University, he presented its mathematical framework. Subsequently, he describes with further mathematical detail his postulate that multiplicity including all matter arises from a primordial singularity of Consciousness through the spontaneous phenomenon of Consciousness actually exercising its basic nature of being conscious and thus knowing itself. == Personal life ==
