Maharishi Vedic Science and the Arts
Maharishi Vedic Science offers the complete understanding and experience of the field of total knowledge in consciousness. It provides the systematic means to develop higher states of consciousness through Transcendental Meditation and its advanced programmes, bringing life in tune with the evolutionary force of total Natural Law. The Arts studied and practiced in the light of Maharishi Vedic Science allows the artist to gain mastery over the three-fold structure of Total Knowledge, in terms of:
- Unfolding full creative potential from within consciousness
- Enjoying a more spontaneous and enriching creative process
- Maximizing the value, effectiveness and influence of the finished work throughout the environment
What is Maharishi Vedic Science?
- ‘Maharishi’ – With reference to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi programmes; Maharishi Vedic Science; Maharishi International University in the United States; Maharishi Foundation, UK., and the Global Country of World Peace. The word, ‘Maharishi’ in Sanskrit, means ‘great seer’ – one who ‘sees’ or has self-realised wholeness of life, and makes available the knowledge of how to live wholeness of life to everyone in the world. In his lifetime, Maharishi revived the ancient Vedic knowledge and reformulated it in this scientific age known as, Maharishi Vedic Science.
- ‘Vedic’ – Pertaining to Veda, total knowledge of Natural Law, the oldest record of human experiences, from the ancient Vedic tradition of India.
- ‘Science’ – Systematic, verifiable knowledge for practical application.
Maharishi Vedic Science comprises the total knowledge and experience of Natural Law in consciousness, which brings life in tune with the invincible laws of Nature. The valuable benefits of Maharishi Vedic Science and its technology, Transcendental Meditation are being practically applied throughout the world in these areas of society:
Law, Education, Health, Agriculture, Economics, Administration, Architecture, Defence, Communication, Music and Arts, Religion and Culture and Supreme Political Science.
