Maharishi's Programmes

Reports from Executives

'Maharishi Corporate Development Programme has brought us -- more than 25,000 employees who have been instructed into Transcendental Meditation -- much closer together. We feel enriched and empowered and better able to serve.'
-- D. S. Seth
Chairman Tata Tea Ltd, Chairman Emeritus, Tata Chemicals Ltd, India

'During Transcendental Meditation we experience our inner nature -- which is cool, calm, and refreshing. This daily experience of deep inner silence results in more energy and alertness during the day, making our activity more successful and enjoyable. And we feel also it's very Indian -- it is something that comes naturally to the people of India. This will give us an edge in the global environment, where we have to compete with people from all over the world.'
-- Dr. B. K. Modi
Chairman and President, ModiCorp

'Transcendental Meditation… gives much needed peace of mind, helps professionally by increasing concentration levels and finally, gives the bottom line satisfaction at the end of a long workday. The practical day-to-day benefits include more alertness, increased levels of tolerance, patience, and understanding.'
-- Anant Dehadrai
India Director, Sumitomo Heavy Industries

'In the very first week I personally realised the effect of Transcendental Meditation on my working -- and in the next four months, on my health. Now I work with better efficiency due to better clarity of mind and thoughts. I credit Transcendental Meditation for controlling my blood pressure and for keeping me fresh and active throughout the day, thus improving my quality of life. I recommend Transcendental Meditation to those who want to improve their quality of life at the cost of 20 minutes twice a day.'
-- K. K. Agrawal
Senior Vice President (Operations), Hero Honda

'After having practised Transcendental Meditation twice daily for about 20 minutes each time, during the last 6 months, I am much more relaxed even during moments of high pressure. My memory is also better. My relationship with my family members and colleagues in the office has substantially improved. The so called factor of luck or good fortune is even more evident in a number of critical situations. I am over 60 and have been practising yoga for the last 44 years. Despite this, TM has certainly been a great help in substantially improving the quality of my life.'
-- Shashi Ullal

'I have practised Transcendental Meditation since 1974, and now more than 100 co-workers at Ericsson apply this technique. I find it much easier to implement new ideas, as I have the drive to formulate and propagate them in a constructive way. It's also easier to take and accept new things and resolve conflicts between old and new. There is also more direct communication in the organisation.'
-- Eva Salomonsson
Director of Technique and Quality Department, Ericsson, Sweden

'We have chosen MCDP to achieve a well-balanced personality development of our employees. Those of us who have practised TM in SRF have reported many benefits-better alertness and calmness as well as freedom from many stress-related health problems. All these will doubtless improve harmony and teamwork in our organisation, besides improving the lives of our people.'
-- Ramanathan
President HRD, Sri Ram Fibres LTD

'Transcendental Meditation has been very helpful to me in solving business as well as personal problems. I find that the practice makes me feel deeply relaxed, and my attitude has become more positive. I am sure that Transcendental Meditation will be instrumental in bringing joy and happiness in the lives of many more people.'
-- Ratan Jindal
Managing Director, Jindal Strips

'Transcendental Meditation, for me, is the means to get back to myself. It gives rest, solidity and insight into the happenings around oneself. For me, Transcendental Meditation works at the fundamental level of mind and body, integrating them both more and more. '
-- Pieter Koridon
Management Develop-ment Manager (ret.) IBM, Holland

'In many published research studies, the Transcendental Meditation technique has been shown to be the most effective technique for reducing stress and re-balancing the biochemicals in the body to produce improved physical and mental health. This has been corroborated by research showing that practice of the TM technique reduces health care utilisation by 50%. Because of the benefits of the TM program for prevention of disease, I recommend that it be covered by all health care providers. In that way we can prevent forthcoming disorders that are extremely costly -- not only financially, but also in terms of human pain and suffering.'
-- Hari Sharma, M.D., FRCPC
Professor Emeritus, Former Director of Cancer Prevention and Natural Products Research, Department of Pathology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine

'Transcendental Meditation increases the integrity of the functioning of the whole brain physiology. It is very useful for relieving the tension of the mind and in developing creativity. Having a method to restore tranquillity of the mind is in great demand these days.'
-- Hideo Itoh, M.D.
Industrial Doctor, Toyota Motor Company, Japan
