Vedic Management --
Natural Law Based Management

Maharishi Corporate Development Programme offers a uniquely effective approach to developing the most fundamental resource of every business - human consciousness. Consciousness is at the basis of the alertness, creativity, organising power, efficiency, health, and happiness of every executive and employee. Thus it is the consciousness of its personnel that ultimately determines the performance and success of the company as a whole.

Maharishi Corporate Development Programme provides the technology that enlivens in mind and body the deepest level of intelligence - Transcendental Consciousness, or pure consciousness - which is the total potential of Natural Law, a state of perfect orderliness and a reservoir of unlimited creativity. Through daily practice of this technique, the individual gains the ability to think and act from this level, thereby spontaneously gaining the support of the infinite creativity and organising power of Natural Law for maximum success and achievement in daily life.

As the full creative potential of consciousness unfolds, thinking becomes more comprehensive and free from mistakes; decisions are spontaneously more in harmony with Natural Law; and actions are increasingly effective, powerful, and life-supporting. With the development of consciousness, the company enjoys rapid progress and support of Natural Law.

Employing the skilled hand of nature in this way brings smooth, problem-free administration and good fortune to the company. While achieving its economic goals, the company promotes the health and well-being of its employees and enriches the quality of life in society. This is Vedic Management - Maharishi's Natural Law Based Management.
