Conclusion
The Transcendental Meditation program effectively rehabilitates the individual by decreasing stress, increasing orderliness of brain functioning, increasing harmony, and thereby developing positive social behavior. Moreover, Transcendental Meditation program participants radiate an influence of coherence and harmony in the collective consciousness of society—the Maharishi Effect—which is the only effective way to prevent crime.
