    His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Founder, Maharishi School MAHARISHI SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES Dr. Bevan Morris Chairman of the Board Camille Jorgensen Bill Goldstein Sam Lieb Shelley Gratzon Janet Nichols Richard Hobbs Craig Pearson Peter Huggins Chet Swanson Chris Jones Susan Tracy 2 A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR It has been an extraordinary joy to carry the message of Maharishi School and Consciousness-BasedSM education around the world during the last year and a half. What we have encountered everywhere is the idea that education is primarily a path to the goal of getting a job – a very partial understanding compared with Maharishi’s vision of complete education, which is capable of enriching each student with the fruit of all knowledge, the ability to live with the full support of nature, free from mistakes and suffering. Often we met with students whose experience of education has been dominated by an ideal of long hours spent in study, memorizing facts and formulas. They have grown up with the idea that the harder they work and the more drudgery they can withstand, the greater their success will be. It’s quite amazing for them to hear about the enormous successes our students enjoy year after year in absolutely Dr. Ashley Deans everything they undertake, without any drudgery at all. And when they hear that Director, they too can work less hard and achieve even more, they can’t stop smiling. Maharishi School The foundation of our success is Maharishi’s simple insight into the three-fold structure of education: the knower, the known, and the process of knowing.

  • HIS HOLINESS MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI in the World Today MAHARISHI in the WORLD TODAY by Raja John Konhaus
    HIS HOLINESS MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI In the World Today MAHARISHI IN THE WORLD TODAY By Raja John Konhaus is Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is a Hrenowned and revered world teacher from the Vedic tradition of India, the tradition of supreme knowledge. His supreme gift to the world has been to make the diffi cult simple—to take the highest techniques for achieving enlightenment, or full human potential, and offer them as simple, natural, effortless procedures available to every citizen of our world. Maharishi is therefore regarded today as the foremost scientist in the fi eld of human development, having brought out in the last 50 years the full potential of human consciousness in every area of life, including education, health care, agriculture, architecture, economics, and government. Maharishi’s story begins with his homage to the feet of his teacher Guru Dev, Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Himalayas, from whom he received the perfect and complete Vedic knowledge, and under whose guidance he achieved the highest state of consciousness. After 12 years with his Master, Maharishi retired to the silence of Uttar Kashi in the Himalayas. The recluse life, however, was not meant to be his destiny. Maharishi had found something so useful and precious for all mankind that the need of the time moved him to share it with everyone. He had learned from his Master the natural tendency of the mind to experience its own inner nature—self-referral consciousness—a fi eld of infi nite creativity and bliss, and the basis of all success and happiness in life.

  • CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED EDUCATION Introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
    CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED EDUCATION Introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi By Dr. Bevan Morris Consciousness-Based education, introduced in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is unique in its ability to effectively develop the total brain potential of every student. onsciousness-Based education awakens and integrates the total brain through the Cexperience of the unifi ed, silent, self-referral level of the student’s consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness, during the practice of Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation, practiced at the beginning and end of each academic day, is a simple, effortless, natural mental technique, enjoyed by millions of students around the world from every nationality, culture, and religion. It automatically develops coherent brain functioning, bringing holistic benefi ts to all aspects of the student’s life. This fi eld of pure transcendental consciousness, equated today by leading theoretical physicists to the Unifi ed Field of Natural Law discovered by modern science, opens to every student the home of all the Laws of Nature in their conscious awareness, giving them command of Natural Law for all success and fulfi llment in life. Figure 1: The equivalence of consciousness and the Unifi ed Field of Natural Law Failure of the Present Segmented Approach of Education n the present fragmented approach to education, students study only specifi c areas Iof knowledge like the sciences, business, and the arts. This fragmented study enlivens only specifi c areas of the brain, and never the total brain—the student experiences localized functioning but not holistic functioning. Lack of holistic brain functioning is the root of many problems and mistakes that students make in their lives, which creates so many diffi culties for the government and the nation.
