Maharishi's Programmes

Executive Summary

For management to be successful and free from problems, it has to be systematic and scientific. For it to be scientific it must conform to the theories of modern science. For anything to be in conformity with all the theories of all the disciplines of modern science, it must be Vedic, which means it must be in full accord with Natural Law.

For management to be Vedic it has to be handled by Vedic Consciousness. This is the absolute requirement for every management to remain out of the range of mismanagement.

Vedic Management is scientific management because whatever is Vedic is scientific: anything that should be mathematically precise has to be Vedic; anything that has to be evolutionary has to be Vedic -- anything that has to be progressive has to be Vedic -- anything that is Vedic supports the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature -- anything that is Vedic is upheld by all the theories of all the different disciplines of modern science, and by all the disciplines of Vedic Science.

Vedic Management has a unique status. It is supported by the knowledge of Natural Law as available in the theories of different disciplines of modern science that uphold the objective approach; which means that it is supported by all the Laws of Nature, the knowledge of which has been discovered through the objective approach of modern science. Therefore it is clear that Vedic Management is management supported by all the Laws of Nature that have been reliably discovered through modern science, and also supported be all the Laws of Nature that have been reliably discovered through the subjective approach of Vedic Science.

No system of management in the world today is as perfect as the Vedic System of Management, because all systems of management derive their policies and procedures from the theories of economy, production, and sales, but they are not fully in accord with all the Laws of Nature that manage the order and evolution in the galactic universe. This is the reason why all the existing systems of management are prone to problems of instability and are unsatisfactory.

Only Vedic Management has that unlimited broad base of the total organising power of Natural Law, from where it draws upon the infinite creativity of the infinite organising power of the holistic value of Natural Law, and also, simultaneously, draws upon the enormous creativity of the specific Laws of Nature.

In this context, it is enjoyable to mention that Vedic Management spontaneously draws upon the infinite creativity of the infinite organising power of the holistic value of Natural Law lively in Rk Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur-Veda, and Atharva Veda, and, at the same time, spontaneously draws upon the enormous creativity of the specific Laws of Nature that constitute the 36 values of the Vedic Literature -- 4 + 36 = 40.

These forty values of intelligence, displayed in the forty values of the Vedic Literature with their divisions and subdivisions, constitute the forty qualities of intelligence -- the basis of the forty values of the human physiology. Thus it is clear that Vedic Management harnesses the infinite organising power of total Natural Law from the level of Vedic Consciousness.

The Vedic Consciousness of the manager is the basis of Vedic Management, which is in full accord with the Cosmic Management of Natural Law, which organises and maintains the universe in perfect order and harmony -- supporting the progress of everything and everyone, singly and collectively, in the direction of evolution.

This consciousness-based management training was distorted by the foreign influence in India for thousands of years, and even now the momentum of foreign influence is dominating management systems in India, rendering them totally incomplete and ineffective

With Maharishi Universities of Management in America, Europe, and Russia; and Maharishi Vedic University and Maharishi Institute of Management in India, the field of management is now rising to enjoy the light of Vedic Management -- the light of perfection.

The means to achieve Vedic Management is to develop the Vedic Consciousness of the manager and everyone under his management. For this the simple formula is:

• * To practise Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi Programme including Yogic Flying for about twenty minutes morning and evening, and verify personal experiences by reading the Vedic Text;
  
• * To live and work in buildings built according to Vastu -- Sthapatya Veda -- the Vedic Science and Technology of building according to Natural Law; and
  
• * To avoid problems through Graha Shanti, which inspires the benevolent and harmonising influences and filters out any negative influences from the Cosmic Counterparts of the individual -- the planets, stars, galaxies, etc.

There is a large body of scientific research in all fields of physiology, psychology, sociology, and ecology, that documents the benefits of Maharishi's Vedic Technology as a means to achieve Vedic Consciousness, the basis of Vedic Management.

The Vedic Consciousness of the manager is the basis of Vedic Management, which is in full accord with the management of the universe through Natural Law. Vedic Management handles the unlimited management of the universe with perfect order and harmony, supporting everything and everyone to perpetually progress in the direction of evolution.

The means to enjoy the full value of Vedic Management is to develop Vedic Consciousness through Vedic Education, Vedic Health Care, Vedic Administration, Vedic Defence, and Vedic Industry
