Maharishi’s first exposition of his Vedic Science to the world came during a special three-month assembly in New Delhi, India, starting in November 1980 with 3,000 people in attendance. Maharishi was joined for this course by the leading Vedic scholars and Pandits of India along with world-renowned scientists. The recordings from this amazing course are now becoming available after 45 years, through the excellent work of the international course development department.
In our Maharishi.online Total Knowledge series, we have already had one set of talks from this assembly in January 1981 about the phenomenon of symmetry breaking and Vedic cognition – why and how the world is as we see it. This new set of talks includes the key sessions from the beginning of the assembly, starting with the grand celebration of Mahā Lakshmī Day, the Festival of Light, on 7 November 1980.
During the course we will explore the amazing content of these talks under the guidance of Dr Peter Warburton, who will put them in the context of Maharishi’s total unfoldment of knowledge over the years.
As Maharishi said when inaugurating the course: ‘Vedic Expressions are the pronouncements of Natural Law; in that language Natural Law pulsates in creation. Turīyaṁ vācho manushyā vadanti—the language through which Nature speaks and works, that is the language of the Vedas. So, now we’ll have the blessings of those who have been carrying that Language of Nature in their speech throughout time, in their beautiful Vedic Traditions.’

“I loved how Raja Peter put Maharishi’s knowledge into historical context – what was going on in the world at the time and how Maharishi responded to it. It was specific but universal and even more relevant today.” — S.H.
“Each course I most like being in the presence of Raja Peter’s Consciousness. I like that he honors and includes every course participant. I like that he truly attends to our responses. I like that, like Hanuman, he always refers back to Maharishi’s teaching so that we can trust what he says. This trust deepens with every lesson, with every course. I like that he shares his own, very human, although very divine, take on whatever material we are discussing.” — J. W.
