Academic excellence and high quality of life through Maharishi’s Vedic Science Maharishi University of Management (M.U.M.) was originally founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1974 as Maharishi International University. This talk about M.U.M.’s students was given in August 1982 in Seelisberg, Switzerland, and is included in Maharishi’s book Maharishi speaks to Educators: Mastery over Natural Law. Maharishi University of Management, whose source and goal lie in the total potential of Natural Law, has at its foundation in Maharishi’s Vedic Science and his Technologies of Consciousness, the Transcendental Meditation and Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme. ‘Through this knowledge and experience of the total potential of Natural Law, every student enjoys the unfoldment of his full creative potential and rises to live life in perfect alliance with Natural Law, free from mistakes and suffering,’ Maharishi said. A ‘sublime quality of life’, seen in the softness, enthusiasm, vitality, and unity of the students, characterizes the campus of Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, USA. In addition to this quality of life, the success of Maharishi University of Management is manifested in the achievements of its students on the academic and intellectual level. The research of Maharishi University of Management scientists has scientifically verified that the practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme unfolds creativity and intelligence and leads to good health and reversal of ageing. ‘The main hallmarks of progress of Maharishi University of Management are the quality of life on the campus and the quality of intelligence developed in its students,’ Maharishi said. On a sociological level, research has shown that when even a small group of individuals practises the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme together, coherence is created in collective consciousness—as evidenced, for example, by decreased crime rates, accident rates, hospital admissions, and improved quality of life in society. The extensive range of programmes offered by Maharishi University of Management allows individuals of all ages, all levels of education, and all walks of life to take advantage of this profound knowledge of Natural Law and to participate in the joy of creating coherence for the nation and the world. Maharishi University of Management is dedicated to creating coherence in the nation as a whole to make the national consciousness integrated, self-sufficient, invincible, and supported by all the Laws of Nature. Maharishi also said that ‘It is important for every nation to create intense coherence in its capital city so that political leaders have a calm environment in which to think deeply and evolve effective plans for maximum progress in the nation and the world.’ The quality of life of students of Maharishi University of Management and M.U.M. faculty’s success in teaching are the basis of the world-wide programme to establish Maharishi colleges and schools in all parts of the world, ‘in order that every nation receives this beautiful knowledge, which is the expression of the infinite organizing power of Nature,’ Maharish said. © Copyright 2008 Global Good News®
