Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the founder and guiding light of the Maharishi Purusha Program℠. The name “Purusha” recognizes the program’s purpose of offering its participants a rapid path to realization of the ultimate level of life, which is called Purusha in Sanskrit — the level of pure consciousness, the experience of which is the foundation of enlightenment, of Self-realization. 

Maharishi introduced the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) technique to the world more than 60 years ago. Through daily practice of this simple technique, over 10 million people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world have found inner peace and happiness in the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern day living. 

Maharishi worked with world-renowned scientists and Nobel laureates to pioneer scientific investigation into the field of consciousness and the unlimited nature of human potential. More than 600 research studies, conducted at over 250 independent universities and research institutions in 30 countries, have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Scientific American, The Lancet, Journal of the American Medical Association, etc, demonstrating the benefits of Transcendental Meditation and its advanced practice, the TM-Sidhi® program.

Maharishi also founded “consciousness-based” schools and universities around the world, including Maharishi International University®, an accredited US-based university that NextGen Purusha℠ members can attend remotely for credit. In addition to the field of education, Maharishi brought consciousness to light as the fundamental basis of many other areas of society, including health, education, business, industry, rehabilitation, defense, agriculture, and government.
