Knowledge & Experience of Consciousness
for Full Development of the Brain

For more than 40 years Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has been bringing to light detailed knowledge of the highest states of human development, and the technologies of consciousness, including the Transcendental Meditation® and TM-Sidhi® programs, for systematically attaining these states.

The benefits of these technologies of consciousness for mind, body, behavior, and society have been documented by over 600 scientific research studies, conducted at more than 200 universities and research institutes in 30 countries.

Maharishi has formulated a complete science of consciousness — his Vedic ScienceSM — from the knowledge contained in the ancient Vedic Literature. This science describes the seven states of human consciousness, and gives the theoretical and practical knowledge for unfolding the full value of human consciousness. Maharishi Vedic ScienceSM includes descriptions of the quality of physiology, perception, and behavior of individuals living higher states of consciousness.

For example, such individuals display the highest levels of creativity, intelligence, and organizing power. Their speech and actions are spontaneously most nourishing and evolutionary for others and for the environment. On the platform of inner fulfillment and enlightenment, their desires are always for the good of all humanity, and are achieved most effortlessly. They radiate an influence of vitality and harmony to the whole society, and are a source of joy and wisdom to all who know them.

Maharishi Vedic Science describes in detail the quality of human awareness that spontaneously gives rise to such behavior. In higher states of consciousness, when the full potential of the brain is being utilized, the fundamental field of Nature’s intelligence — Transcendental Consciousness, the Unified Field of Natural Law — is fully enlivened in the individual’s consciousness.

This Association offers the scientifically validated Consciousness-BasedSM education program, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. More than 40 years of experience and over 600 scientific research studies have shown this non-sectarian program to improve educational outcomes, reduce stress and antisocial behavior, increase creativity and intelligence, and unfold the inner happiness of students and teachers of all cultural and educational backgrounds.

Maharishi Vedic Science describes this field as containing all the Laws of Nature in their most concentrated, abstract form, just as a seed contains the whole tree. The fundamental dynamics of this field are the Veda and Vedic Literature, whose reverberations give rise to all the Laws of Nature governing the orderly evolution of the universe.

When this total creative process of Nature is enlivened in awareness, the individual spontaneously makes use of it, commanding the whole field of action, able to know anything, do anything right, and achieve any great goal — and always supported by the total intelligence of Natural Law.

Recent research has discovered that the fundamental structures of Natural Law expressed in the Vedic Literature are contained in human physiology. This discovery reveals that the physiology of everyone is the expression of the total intelligence of Natural Law — that the individual is cosmic. Functioning with cosmic intelligence becomes a living reality when the total potential of the brain is actualized.

This knowledge of human consciousness and how to awaken its unlimited potential has changed the concept of a school or university from “all knowledge on one campus” to “all knowledge in every brain.”
