M.A. in Maharishi Vedic Science
Science and Technology of Consciousness
- Culture higher states of consciousness
During the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, your mind settles inward beyond all thought. You experience the source of thought, which is pure awareness — your innermost self. Regular experience of your innermost self is the bridge to higher states of consciousness and is the foundation for creating world peace. More about higher states of consciousness
- Learn practical knowledge to transform your life
Other universities teach the known — facts and figures — but ignore the knower. Here you gain self-knowledge first. You expand your “container of knowledge,” your self-awareness, as you learn new principles and procedures, such as yoga asanas (simple yoga postures), healthy lifestyle and diet, and ancient Vedic design principles for creating homes and buildings that bring health, happiness and good fortune.
- Learn to read Sanskrit, the language of nature
Sanskrit is the language of the Vedic Tradition of India. Reciting and listening to Vedic Literature in the original Sanskrit language creates a nourishing effect on the entire physiology, especially the brain. According to scientific research, recitation of Sanskrit enlivens the same level of coherent brain functioning as transcending during Transcendental Meditation practice. Thus, reciting and listening to Sanskrit is a means for unfolding higher states of consciousness.
- Learn Maharishi Self-Pulse to improve your health
Every experience leaves its physical trace in the body, which is mirrored in the pulse. Qualities detected in the pulse identify the level of balance or imbalance in the body. Imbalances may later manifest as disease. Self-pulse assessment allows you to precisely determine where imbalances are. Simple changes in diet and daily routine can help to restore balance.
- Enjoy delicious organic vegetarian meals, prepared fresh daily
Our dining hall serves a wide array of vegetarian fare, from home-style pizza to Chinese stir fry, from Mexican to Indian and more. We bake our own breads and pastries using organic flour.
