About Maharishi University of Management

Core Values

    These shared values characterize our campus culture and guide University decision-making:

  1. Development of consciousnessWater the root to enjoy the fruit.
    We use Maharishi’s techniques, including Transcendental Meditation, to develop the full potential of our consciousness and create peace in ourselves and the world. Group practice of these techniques is most powerful.
  2. Consciousness-Based educationEnjoy 200% of life: 100% of the outer, material value and 100% of the inner, spiritual value.
    This is our speciality, our unique contribution to education. Consciousness-Based education develops students from within and promotes holistic growth.
  3. Engaged learningKnowledge is gained from inside and outside.
    Through Consciousness-Based education, consciousness — the home of all knowledge — is enlivened within every student. With this, whatever is studied outside resonates with the inner foundation of knowledge. As a result knowledge becomes more accessible and relevant. In addition, we engage students through active learning and rigorous academics, without the stress commonly experienced by university students. We encourage open inquiry by our students, faculty, and administration to culture receptivity and engagement in the process of gaining knowledge.
  4. Continuous improvementThe nature of life is to grow.
    We are all committed to proactively improving ourselves and our University.
  5. Progressive communicationThe art of speaking lies in truthful speech which is always uplifting, never harmful.
    We value honest, respectful, and non-judgmental communication.
  6. Generosity of spiritGiving is the basis of receiving.
    We cultivate trust, kindness, and generosity to promote growth in ourselves and our community.
  7. Honoring diversityThe world is my family.
    We honor cultural diversity as well as diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. We welcome everyone’s contributions.
  8. Campus in harmony with natural lawMaximize the intelligent use the environment.
    We are committed to creating a campus in accord with Natural Law — a new model of sustainability.
  9. Health and happinessThe purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
    We value a campus culture that promotes balance, health, enjoyment, and a spirit of fun.
