About Maharishi University of Management
Mission Statement of the University
Maharishi University of Management was founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to fulfill the highest ideals of education. Foremost among these ideals is developing the full potential of consciousness in every student — to help students develop the ability to think and act in accord with the laws of nature and to live fulfilled and successful lives. This fulfills the long-sought goal of education: to produce fully developed individuals, citizens who can fulfill their own aspirations while promoting all good in society.
We have pioneered a unique system of higher education, Consciousness-Based education, that systematically cultures students’ full creative intelligence, the basis of learning. Consciousness-Based education gives traditional academic study the foundation of complete knowledge of consciousness coupled with simple, natural, scientifically validated technologies for developing consciousness.
These technologies are the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, including Yogic Flying. This integrated approach develops students’ ability to manage their lives successfully, to grow steadily in health, happiness, and wisdom, and to achieve professional success and personal fulfillment.
Our unique educational programs fulfill a commitment to four broad areas of responsibility:
- Holistic development of students — cultivation of consciousness, mind, body, and behavior
- Academic excellence — training at the forefront of knowledge in each discipline and in the ability to think critically and act effectively and ethically
- Scholarship that expands the domains of knowledge, expressed in all four areas of scholarship — discovery, teaching and learning, integration, and application.
- Improved quality of life for the individual, the community, the nation, and the world.
