“People are drawn to study the Science of Creative Intelligence because we all seek answers to the big questions of life — Who am I? What is the nature of life? How did the universe arise? Over and over I have been delighted to see how these questions are addressed in this science of totality, Maharishi Vedic Science, which provides profound answers to these eternal questions, answers that are based on our own experience. Working with students to think these things through is tremendously fulfilling to me, and watching students grow in clarity, wisdom and personal greatness gives me great joy.”
