Three alumni from the Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment (MSAE) in England describe how the Maharishi School and their practise of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation Programme positively affected their lives:

Ben:

‘Following the completion of a BSc (Hons) in Genetics (1st class) at the University of Manchester, I am now reading for a PhD in Biochemistry, conducting research into the biosynthesis of complex proteins. 

'I attended the Maharishi School for my entire school life and found the experience to be absolutely life-defining.  It is a school unlike any other and provided me with the broad and open-minded education that enabled me to embark on a successful scientific career. 

'More than this, however, my time at the Maharishi School helped to frame my appreciation of life and showed me where to look for happiness. I wouldn’t change a day of it.' — Ben (1999)

Matthew:

‘I am a professional jazz trumpet player, composer, and arranger.  I have toured the world playing jazz music in places such as Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, America, Russia, France, and Italy.
 
'I found the time I spent at the Maharishi School gave me confidence and belief in myself.  The teachers were amazing and gave me so much support that within a year of arriving at the school my grades went from E’s to C's, B’s and A’s.  It was one of the best periods in my life so far!' — Matthew (2000)

James:

'After graduating from the Maharishi School, I went on to study Computing at Imperial College London, before joining UBS Investment Bank.  At UBS, I have had the opportunity to work on a broad range of transactions, spanning corporate acquisitions, IPOs, and financing transactions, ranging in size from £100 million to over £3 billion.

'I also founded the UBS Film Society, a club which now has over 100 members.
 
'Investment banking is a very exciting industry, but it can also be quite intense and, at times, taxing.  I find that having gone to the Maharishi School and practised Transcendental Meditation and Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme, I have been given a foundation that allows me to function more effectively in the high-pressure situations that I often find myself in.  It also gives me perspective and nourishes all those other aspects of my life that remain so important to me.'

— Jamie (1999)

As the above testimonials show, the profound, strengthening influence of an education at MSAE and the practise of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme lasts for many years after students graduate and continues while they follow their chosen career and life path.
