Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a secular programme for the development of consciousness that first gained popularity in the 1960s when introduced to the world by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Now practised by 5 million people of all cultures and religions, TM has been the subject of over 600 scientific studies – findings include reduced stress, better health and increased intelligence, and also reduced crime and conflict. Maharishi’s goal is to create world peace and ultimately “Heaven on Earth” for everyone.
The following are quotes by the Maharishi:
- “The message of bliss has been the message of all great Masters of all religions of all times. Christ said, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.’ Buddha gave the message of nirvana. The Upanishads speak of the same sat chit ananda, eternal bliss consciousness, that is your own Self.”
- “A direct experience of the Blissful nature of Soul, and the inner man is completely transformed. The mind, experiencing the Great Bliss, feels satisfaction and this satisfaction of the mind results in right understanding and virtuous action, kindness, love and compassion for all.”
