Excerpt: The "Transcendental Meditation movement" (also "Maharishi's worldwide movement" and previously as World Government) is a world wide organization founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in the 1950s, and includes various programs and organizations developed or inspired by the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM), and introduced by the founder. Besides the TM technique proper, the TM movement also advocates the "advanced" TM-Sidhi program including "Yogic flying", Maharishi Vedic Science, Maharishi Vedic Medicine and Maharishi Sthapatya Veda. Estimated to have tens of thousands of participants, with high estimates citing as many as several million, the global organisation also consists of close to 1,000 TM centers, and controls property assets of the order of USD 3.5 billion (1998 estimate). Certain TM Movement organizations have obtained tax exempt status; others have had tax exempt status denied. The movement has made unsuccessful attempts to attain political influence during the early 2000s, by means of participation of its Natural Law Party in elections in various democracies, and by means of trying to attain sovereignty as a microstate for its Global Country of World Peace. The TM movement has been described as a spiritual movement, as a new religious...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25929189 ... Read more

Chapters: Transcendental Meditation. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 635. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Transcendental Meditation, or TM, technique is a form of mantra meditation introduced in India in 1955 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (19172008). Taught in a standardized, seven-step course over 4 days by certified teachers for ~1,500 USD in the United States, it involves the use of a sound or mantra and is practiced for 1520 minutes twice per day, while sitting comfortably with closed eyes. In 1957, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi began a series of world tours during which he introduced and taught his meditation technique. In 1959, he founded the International Meditation Society and, in 1961, he began to train teachers of the technique. From the late 1960s through the mid 1970s, both the Maharishi and TM received significant public attention in the USA, especially among the student population. During this period, a million people learned the technique, including well-known public figures. By 1998, the global TM organization had taught an estimated four million people, had 1,000 teaching centers, and owned property assets valued at $3.5 billion. It has been reported to be one of the most widely practiced meditation techniques, and among the most widely researched. Transcendental Meditation is part of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health and is made available worldwide by a number of organizations sometimes collectively referred to as the Transcendental Meditation movement. A 2007 review of Transcendental Meditation, concluded that the definitive health effects of TM cannot be determined as the bulk of scientific evidence was of poor quality. A 2006 Cochrane review found that TM was equivalent to relaxation therapy for treatment of anxiety. In the mid-1970s, the Transcendental Meditation...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=42734 ...
