Maharishi Foundation- Transcendental Meditation

About

The Maharishi Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the teaching and promotion of Transcendental Meditation (TM), a simple, natural technique for stress reduction and personal development. Founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the foundation operates globally, aiming to improve individual and collective well-being through the widespread practice of TM. Transcendental Meditation involves silently repeating a specific mantra for 15–20 minutes twice daily, allowing the mind to settle into a deep state of restful alertness. Advocates claim it reduces stress, enhances creativity, and improves overall mental and physical health. The foundation also supports scientific research, educational programs, and community initiatives centered on TM.
