For more than 45 years Maharishi has been bringing to light the detailed knowledge of the highest states of human development, and the Technologies of Consciousness, including his Transcendental Meditation^® and TM-Siddhi Programme^®, for systematically attaining these states.

The benefits of these Technologies of Consciousness for mind, body, behaviour, and society have been documented by about 700 scientific research studies, conducted at more than 215 universities and research institutes in 35 countries.

Maharishi has formulated a complete science of consciousness his Vedic Science from the knowledge contained in the ancient Vedic Literature. This science describes the seven states of human consciousness, and gives the theoretical and practical knowledge for unfolding the full value of human consciousness. Maharishi’s Vedic Science includes descriptions of the quality of physiology, perception, and behaviour of individuals living higher states of consciousness.

For example, such individuals display the highest level of creativity, intelligence, and organizing power. Their speech and actions are spontaneously most nourishing and evolutionary for others and for the environment. On the platform of inner fulfilment and enlightenment, their desires are always for the good of all humanity, and are achieved most effortlessly. They radiate an influence of vitality and harmony to the whole society, and are a source of joy and wisdom to all who know them.

Maharishi’s Vedic Science describes in detail the quality of human awareness that spontaneously gives rise to such behaviour. In higher states of consciousness, when the full potential of the brain is being utilised, the fundamental field of Nature’s intelligence Transcendental Consciousness, the Unified Field of Natural Law is fully enlivened in the individual’s consciousness.

Maharishi’s Vedic Science describes this field as containing all the Laws of Nature in their most concentrated, abstract form, just as a seed contains the whole tree. The fundamental dynamics of this field are the Veda and Vedic Literature, whose reverberations give rise to all the Laws of Nature governing the orderly evolution of the universe.

This knowledge of human consciousness and how to awaken its unlimited potential has changed the concept of education from ‘all knowledge on one campus’ to ‘all knowledge in every brain’.
