Origins of the TM tecnique
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Maharishi dedicated 13 years to learning from his enlightened master, a guardian of ancient Vedic wisdom. Inspired by his teachings, Maharishi sought to democratize meditation, making it accessible to all. By 1958, he embarked on a global journey, spreading the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
​
Maharishi's mission was to bridge traditional Vedic wisdom with modern science. Recognizing the limitations of solely objective scientific inquiry, he introduced a subjective approach. This approach emphasized inner experience, offering a reliable means to explore consciousness. Essentially, Maharishi pioneered a scientific exploration of life through introspection.
