This unique course, recorded and presented exclusively by Maharishi, reveals his Vedic approach to leadership and governing with unprecedented depth and clarity. It illuminates the role of consciousness in creating successful leaders. Throughout the 25 hours of lessons (15 in Phase One and 10 in Phase Two), Maharishi details both the knowledge and experience of Unity Consciousness, and how we can learn to lead with the full support of the Vedic Devata, or Laws of Nature that serve as the source and control point of all our actions. The course structure will include Maharishi’s lectures, group practice of the TM® and TM-Sidhi® programs, question and answer sessions, and listening to recordings of Vedic recitations. There will also be an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful West Virginia mountains with some local outdoor activities and trips to integrate the knowledge from the course while promoting the awareness of the role that a healthy, vital physiology plays in developing true leadership. This course is ideal for all those who aspire to lead from the field of consciousness. We offer a reduced fee of $750 per person for full-time students and those working full time for the TM organization. For more information on the course or to inquire about additional financial assistance, please email [email protected]. Please sign up early as these courses are very popular and are expected to fill up fast.

In these ten hours of lectures, Maharishi continues his explanation of the science and art of supreme leadership, illuminating the role of consciousness in creating successful leaders. The course will follow the same structure as Phase One, including an in-depth look at how consciousness creates and governs our environment, with special emphasis on how our relationship with our environment is intimately connected to the growth of God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness. Raja John Konhaus will be joined by Dr. Fred Travis, who is Chairman of the Department of Vedic Science at MUM.
