Why it all began

Mental benefits

Research since 1970 shows that Transcendental Meditation (TM) improves mental performance: calmness; clarity; creativity; decision making.

Community benefits

When 1% of any population practice Transcendental Meditation, crime drops and accidents and hospital admissions decrease.

Creating coherence

Multiple scientific studies demonstrate that practice of TM and the advanced TM-Sidhi programme creates coherence in individual and collective consciousness.

World peace

Group practice of TM and the advanced TM-Sidhi Programme creates an influence of peace in the surroundings. A group of 9000 in one place can create peace in the whole world.
