Introduction (excerpt)
For more than five decades, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi brought out his
complete knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Maharishi is renowned throughout the world for his holistic vision of the Vedic wisdom in its entirety, bringing together the various aspects of Vedic knowledge—revealing and operationalising the supreme value of this wisdom for human life, both individual and collective. His complete revival of this wisdom continues to be an unparalleled contribution and resource for the world. The descriptor ‘unparalleled’ does not do justice to the actual and potential impacts of Maharishi’s knowledge for humanity. This book is therefore a modest attempt to present the key principles and tenets of Maharishi’s Science of Creative Intelligence that he himself identified. Throughout the book, this body of knowledge as brought out by Maharishi will be referred to as ‘Maharishi’s teaching’. Maharishi wrote texts on his teaching and that material is readily available, but characteristically it is his lectures, talks, symposia, interviews and engagement in human interactions that facilitated the imparting of knowledge to an audience and to the world.
