Learn how your brain is designed to be a perfect reflector of total Natural Law. See how consciousness structures the physiology and how the innumerable connections among our ten billion brain cells enable us to live higher states of consciousness. Measure your own growth of consciousness.

These courses study Maharishi’s commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita, which provides a systematic exposition of the development of human consciousness, its relationship to knowledge, and its application to improve the quality of individual and collective life. (variable units)

Science of Being and Art of Living was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s first book, published in 1963. This course, both through reading and through studying Maharishi’s video tapes, investigates the main themes of the book — Being, the essential constituent of creation, how to contact and how to live Being, right and wrong, how to live one’s full potential in thought, speech, action, and relationships, and God realization. (4 units)

This course is designed for students who have completed the Department’s Vedic Science offerings and wish to reexamine themes from these courses in light of more recent findings in the discipline. Possible topics included: Veda and Vedic Literature, the self-referral dynamics of consciousness, and the discovery of Veda and Vedic Literature in the human physiology. Also, recent books and lectures will be used. (variable units — may be repeated) NOTE: This course is for students enrolled in the Advanced Concentration in Maharishi Vedic Science. Prerequisite: consent of instructor

These courses introduce the proper pronunciation and reading of classical Sanskrit — the language of the Vedic Literature. Students study Maharishi’s explanation of the role of Sanskrit as the language of Nature in his Vedic Science. (variable units — repeatable)

Discover the fabrics of immortality in your own physiology. Topics include the self-interacting dynamics of consciousness, the Constitution of the Universe, the forty aspects of the Veda and Vedic Literature, Maharishi’s Apaurusheya Bhashya, Rk Veda — the Constitution of the Universe, and Vedic Devata in the human physiology. (4 units)

The Constitution of the Universe is the most fundamental level of Natural Law, underlying the whole universe — manifest and unmanifest — and its holistic values available in the Samhita of Rik Veda. The self-referral dynamics of its sequential unfoldment is a process of symmetry-breaking, recently glimpsed by contemporary unified quantum field theory. This course will show how the historical development of the unified quantum field theory has been intimately concerned with resolving the apparent opposition between observer and observed. In this context, the student can readily understand how Maharishi Vedic Science completes and enriches the most sophisticated discoveries of advanced physics. (2–4 units)

This course covers Maharishi’s precise description of higher states of consciousness that arise naturally and spontaneously through practice of the TM and TM-Sidhi programs. Personal experience, scientific research, and the record of ancient Vedic texts are used to understand higher states of consciousness.

Enjoy Maharishi’s unique insights into the structuring dynamics of the Vedic Literature as presented in the six Vedanga; and the criteria and methods of gaining accurate, complete and reliable knowledge, both intellectually and experientially as revealed by the six Upanga. This course illuminates the path to enlightenment and leads to an increasingly refined understanding and experience of the ultimate nature of reality.

You will examine how to create prosperity and invincibility for every nation and produce a permanent state of world peace. Topics will include: the structure and function of the Constitution of the Universe-the Government of Nature, the significance of Collective Consciousness and its affect on government, Maharishi's Global Country of World Peace, and scientific research on the Vedic technologies that align individual and global awareness with the infinite intelligence and creative power of Nature's Government. (4 units)

In this course you will identify the key principles from all the courses in your graduate program, place them into the larger framework of your experience, and indicate how they can be applied to your daily life. This course enables you to summarize the knowledge and experience you have gained from the program. (3­4 units)

Students expand and apply their growing knowledge of Maharishi Vedic Science by functioning as professional technicians delivering such programs as the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health preventive health and rejuvenation programs. (variable units — may be repeated)
