The practical aspect of Maharishi's Vedic Science and Technology is Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation programme. Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural programme that is easily and systematically learned by anyone of any age, education, religion, or background. More than 600 scientific research studies performed at 210 universities in 30 countries during the past 20 years -- and the personal experience of over 4 million people world-wide -- demonstrate that the Transcendental Meditation program greatly benefits mind, body, and behaviour. In addition, over 20 years of use in classrooms around the world have verified its ability to maximise student performance and create an ideal learning environment. Scientific findings relevant to education include:

• Improved academic skills
• Improved intelligence and creativity
• Greater coherence of brain functioning
• Improved memory and learning ability
• Increased energy and alertness
• Improved concentration and ability to focus
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved health
• Improved moral reasoning ability and social behaviour
• Reduced usage of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes
• Increased happiness and self-confidence
• Improved self-esteem and self-concept
• Improved relationships between students and teachers

This practical aspect of Maharishi's Vedic Science and Technology, gives the experience of the basic principles underlying and supporting the development of consciousness and found throughout all of creation. This deep connection between the students' own growth of consciousness and the universe around them is an integral part of a Maharishi Vidya Mandir education.

Maharishi Vedic Management

At MIVMS, student-managers are given foundational courses exposing them to the theories, principles and techniques of Vedic Management, Natural Law Based Management.

No system of Management in the world today is as perfect as the Vedic System of Management because existing systems of management derive their policies and procedures from the theories of economy, production, and sales, but they are not fully in accord with all the Laws of Nature that manage the order and evolution of the universe. This is the reason why all the existing systems of management are prone to problems of instability and are unsatisfactory.

Only Vedic Management has that unlimited broad base of the total organising power of Natural Law, from where it draws upon the infinite creativity of the infinite organising power of the holistic value of Natural Law, and also, simultaneously, draws upon the enormous creativity of the specific Laws of Nature.

The Vedic Consciousness of the manager is the basis of Vedic Management, which is in full accord with the Cosmic Management of Natural Law, which organises and maintains the universe in perfect order and harmony -- supporting the progress of everything and everyone, singly and collectively, in the direction of evolution.

This consciousness-based management training was distorted by the foreign influence in India for thousand of years, and even now the momentum of foreign influence is dominating management systems in India, rendering them totally incomplete and ineffective.

With Maharishi Universities of Management in America, Europe, and Russia; and Maharishi Vedic University and Maharishi Institute of Management in India, the field of management is now rising to enjoy the light of Vedic Management -- the light of perfection.

The means to achieve Vedic Management is to develop the Vedic Consciousness of the manager and everyone under his management. For this the simple formula is:

	To practice Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Siddhi Programme including Yogic Flying for about twenty minutes morning and evening, and verify personal experiences by reading the Vedic Text;
	To live and work in buildings built according to Vastu -- Sthapatya Veda -- the Vedic Science and Technology of building according to Natural Law; and
	To avoid problems through Graha Shanti, which inspires the benevolent and harmonising influences and filters out any negative influences from the Cosmic Counterparts of the individual -- the planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

There is a large body of scientific research in all fields of physiology, psychology, sociology, and ecology that documents the benefits of the programmes of Maharishi's Vedic Technology -- the means to achieve Vedic Consciousness, the basis of Vedic Management. (For a glimpse of the more than 600 scientific research studies conducted at more than 200 universities and research institutions in 32 countries, please refer to the Transcendental Meditation page in the Programmes section of this website.)

The Vedic Consciousness of the manager is the basis of Vedic Management, which is in full accord with the management of the universe through Natural Law. Vedic Management handles the unlimited management of the universe with perfect order and harmony, supporting everything and everyone to perpetually progress in the direction of evolution.

This most profound level of management education is only found at Maharishi Institute of Vedic and Management Sciences.
