"Mankind was not born to suffer,
mankind was born to enjoy.
The purpose of life is
to expand happiness.“
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
(born Mahesh Prasad Varma,
1918-2008)
was an Indian guru, known
for developing the
Transcendental Meditation (TM)
technique and for being
the leader and guru of a
worldwide organization
that has been characterized
in multiple ways including
as a new religious movement
and as non-religious.
He became known as Maharishi
(meaning "great seer")
and Yogi as an adult.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
became a disciple and
assistant of Swami
Brahmananda Saraswati,
the Shankaracharya
(spiritual leader) of
Jyotirmath in the Indian
Himalayas.
The Maharishi credits
Brahmananda Saraswati
with inspiring his
teachings.
Mahesh studied physics
at Allahabad University
and earned a degree in
1942.
In 1955, the Maharishi
began to introduce his
Transcendental Deep
Meditation
(later renamed TM) to
India and the world.
His first global tour
began in 1958.
The Maharishi is reported
to have trained more than
40,000 TM teachers,
taught the TM technique to
"more than five million people"
and founded thousands of
teaching centres and
hundreds of colleges,
universities and schools.
He was one of the first
that helped and recognized
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
In the late 1960s and
early 1970s, the Maharishi
achieved fame as the guru
to the Beatles, the Beach
Boys and other celebrities.
According to author
Jack Forem, the Maharishi
stated that the experience
of transcendence, which
resulted in a naturally
increasing refinement
of mind and body, enabled
people to naturally behave
in more correct ways.
Thus, behavioral guidelines
did not need to be issued,
and were best left to the
teachings of various
religions:
"It is much easier to raise
a man's consciousness than
to get him to act righteously"
the Maharishi said.
His life was very rich and had
very many achievements, we finish
with this vision he had of
applying TM peace to world peace
and the end of wars:
In 2000, the Maharishi
founded the Global Country
of World Peace (GCWP)
"to create global world
peace by unifying all
nations in happiness,
prosperity, invincibility
and perfect health,
while supporting the
rich diversity of
our world family"
