Truly there is in this world nothing so purifying as knowledge; he who is perfected in Yoga, of himself, in time, finds this within himself.

Published by Maharishi in 1963, “The Science of Being and Art of Living” is the summation of both the practical wisdom of integrated life advanced by the Vedic Rishis of ancient India and the growth of scientific thinking in the present-day western world.
“It presents a philosophy of life in fulfilment and brings forth a practice suitable for all men everywhere in the world to glorify all aspects of their day-to-day life. It deals with the fundamentals of all problems of life and suggests one sure cure to eradicate all sufferings.”
“This book presents a practical thesis of integrated life which has long been the abstract goal of the various sciences, religions, and metaphysical thought groups. This thesis will enable all men to harmonise their inner spiritual content with the glories of the outer material life and find their God within themselves.” [1]
In this course, Dr Morris shows how, in the Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi presents the Science of Being as the systematic investigation into the ultimate reality of the universe. Like other sciences, it begins its investigation from the gross, obvious level of life, then delving more deeply into the subtle levels of the experience of Nature, ultimately transcending the subtle regions, and reaching the transcendental field of eternal Being.
The Science of Being, applied to our lives through the technique of Transcendental Meditation, provides us with the Art of Living – thinking, speaking, acting, and behaving, well established at the level of pure Being. Experiencing pure Being twice daily through Transcendental Meditation, any individual in any nation can rise to enjoy higher states of consciousness, in which human life becomes filled with peace and joy, is vibrant with the infinite creative intelligence of being, and enjoys the support of the almighty power of Nature, the infinite organising power of Natural Law.

Maharishi’s gift for each one of us and for our precious world
“We started the Spiritual Regeneration Movement in the world when the world was seen deprived of spiritual value – too much of material and too much of physical and, due to that, life had lost its basis, which is spiritual.” – Maharishi, 5 April 2005
The founding of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement on 1 January 1958 was the start of a great global transformation from an age dominated by the pursuit of money and power to a new age that sees the rise of deep inner values – bliss, peace, and unboundedness – generating dramatic positive change in every area of life.
In this inspiring and original new course, Dr Peter Warburton will illustrate these historic changes from the perspective and insights of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge, which unveils the whole range of life from its spiritual core to all the manifestations of Natural Law, the Will of God. We will enjoy the phases and highlights of Maharishi’s ceaseless initiative for spiritual regeneration spanning 53 years.
The course will include all the elements that have become so popular with Dr Warburton’s courses – rare talks of Maharishi, delightful interactive exercises, beautiful charts designed under Maharishi’s guidance, and stories from Dr Warburton’s 36 years with Maharishi. Archival video recordings will include some amazing talks about God and religion, and a special series that Maharishi recorded on 26 December 1973 in Switzerland on the spiritual value of existence, how spiritual development is achieved, and what it really means.
“That essential content of life – what is called spirituality, transcendental pure existence – is like the pure water and its waves with its two values: moving and non-moving.” – Maharishi, 26 December 1973
SELF-HELP SERIES
I am practising Transcendental Meditation. Perhaps, I have also taken the TM-Sidhi Course or am planning to take it soon.
What more can I do now for my evolution?
The answer lies in the new SELF-HELP SERIES from Maharishi.Online, a programme of weekend online courses – developed by Maharishi himself and run by some of TM’s top teachers – enabling me to:
These courses are expected to start in late 2021/early 2022. Initially, they may be “Online Only” but, once the Peace Palace is open for residential courses, they will run as combined “Residential/Online”.

“Learning TM over six years ago was a game changer for me. After years of battling stress, anxiety and adrenal fatigue, practicing TM got my health back on track. I noticed that I started to think more clearly and that my confidence and creativity steadily increased.
After I experienced such powerful transformation, it was a natural progression to train as a TM teacher to share this technique with as many people as possible! Now after serving my local community for several years I can say this is far and away the most enjoyable teaching role I’ve ever had. It’s an absolute joy to teach a technique that allows people to continue to grow and flourish under any circumstances. TM really does meet you where you are at, and take you where you want to go! Whether that’s improved health, clarity, confidence or establishing inner peace, all of this available, plus so much more when we take the step to learn TM.”

My name is Val Murray, I was born and raised in Dublin/Ireland and moved as a young girl and made my home in Jersey Channel Islands in the eighties. I am a Soft Furnishing and Interior Designer (IDI) and started my own business and ran it successfully for 20 years. It gave me such a wealth of experience dealing with the public which also prompted me to take a Social Psychology Diploma Course.
In my early thirties, I learned Transcendental Meditation for anxiety and stress and very soon it transformed my life, my working life enhancing my experiences and strength as a woman in the business world, also my home life in raising my family. I learned to look at life differently, still do and still learning. The natural progression for me 10 years ago was to become a TM teacher (MVI) and help to pass on this profound Knowledge for our overall health.
My inspiration always being Maharishi. I opened the first TM Centre in Jersey 9 years ago and it has been successful and a joy to run, teaching many hundreds of people in our community in Jersey and Guernsey with my ongoing focus to teach as many people as possible to grow coherence on our beautiful Island.

Dr Peter Warburton and Dr Tom Egenes illuminates Maharishi’s precious insights into the Bhagavad-Gita on the perfect ground of his Total Knowledge, with the invaluable support of archival and contemporary treasures from Dr Vernon Katz.
ARCHIVE TREASURE
Dr Peter WarburtonDr Vernon KatzDr Tom Egenes
Dr Warburton and Dr Egenes reveal the wisdom of the Upanishads on the ground of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge, which embodies the full knowledge of Brahm, the full knowledge of Absolute and relative, and the connection between the two, as is expressed so completely in the Upanishads.
ARCHIVE TREASURE
Dr Peter WarburtonDr Vernon Katz
Maharishi explains that, as one goes inward, then freedom comes. Freedom reaches its climax when Eureka – Unity – is declared. The Brahma Sutra is needed in order to understand the comprehensive meaning contained in the Upanishads, and the reading of the Upanishads is needed in order to get some understanding of the whereabouts of Unity.

Dr Bevan Morris
Dr Morris reveals the essential expressions from Veda and the Vedic literature used by Maharishi in his Vedic Science to elucidate and crystallise our experiences in the rise to higher states of consciousness.
ARCHIVE TREASURE
Dr Bevan Morris
Vedānt means the end or culmination, anta, of all knowledge, Veda. Maharishi revealed that Vedānt becomes a practical living reality in the state of Unity Consciousness, Brahmi Chetana. This state is revealed by the famous Upanishadic sayings – mahavakyas – such as Aham Brahmasmi, I Am the Totality.

Celebrating the way Maharishi changed the destiny of the whole world with the offerings of his knowledge and technologies of consciousness.
“Dr. Nader offers ideas that can change the world. He gives profound solutions to questions that have long fascinated and intrigued philosophers and scientists alike, covering fields as diverse as the purpose of life, good and evil, what is consciousness, do we have freedom? Is there law and order or chaos in the universe? How to mend differences between the atheist and the believer, determinism and choice? How to make the best out of one’s life, fulfill one’s desires, and create peace and harmony among peoples and nations? He offers these solutions based on one simple underlying paradigm that unifies mind, body, and the environment in one ocean of pure being, pure consciousness.” – David Lynch from his Prologue to Dr Nader's recently published "One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness".
“The presentation by Dr Warburton was brilliant – such clear explanation of what could be a very, very complex subject. I realise Maharishi structured the course but Dr Warburton conveyed the content so very well. The online course seemed every bit as powerful as the earlier live Total Knowledge courses I have done and being able to look at sessions again on 'catch-up' really helped.” — Course Participant
“Dr Bevan’s lifetime of devotion to Maharishi pours out of every story and description he provides. He brings to life the unfathomable depth of Maharishi’s vision in a way that feels fresh and intimate to my own level of understanding, whilst always pointing to deeper levels ahead.” — Course Participant
“Dr Warburton ran the course brilliantly, always making everyone feel so comfortable and at home, and, at the same time, presenting the knowledge in a more focussed and clear way than ever… The balance of knowledge and stories etc. was perfect, and it was such a delightful experience for everyone. Dr Warburton made every course participant’s contribution valuable and acceptable, however unusual! The course really fulfilled the whole range of course participants, from new Meditators to old timers.” — Course Participant
“Life-changing! The knowledge from this course is invaluable. I would leave the lectures a changed person - meaning transformed in my new evolution. The new way of thinking about myself has uplifted me to my absolute status that has been hidden and now revealed - in minutes!” — Course Participant
