Sometimes the hardest thing for people to do is actually the easiest. And that is letting go. Maharishi in his book "Science of Being And Art of Living" says,' The technique requires no effort except innocence & simplicity. You must be devoid of intellectual play or emotional twist. You must surrender yourself to almighty nature. Then your mind goes in the direction of absolute bliss and finds increasing charm at every step of its march" You will evolve into a better and happier person.
YES
maharishi laughed all the time he was such a joy to be around now I laugh all the time when I am not weeping with joy!
We used to call people like me bliss ninnies
What you gonna do🤷♂️🙃💕💕💕💕🐉
And how do I do it, exactly?
@@FirstnameLastname-my7bz find a local TM teacher. They are all over the world. Look online to find one close to you and attend an introductory talk. The technique and benefits will be explained to you and you can ask any questions you may have. You're not obliged to learn and there is no charge for the introductory talk. One pays to take instruction and it is the best money I ever spent. 7 years+ meditator here and I wouldn't be without it.❤
Well said thankyou
There is absolutely nothing easy about attaining spiritual enlightenment. It is an arduous path including much suffering and a great teacher. Falun Dafa is such a practice with one hundred million practitioners worldwide.
I learned TM 41 years ago when I was living in Germany. It changed my life right away, and still it is the best thing I ever did for myself.
So nice
How to do that ?
Same here
Kathy Lowenberg
Good for you.
Please elaborate, I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d like to hear your story.
@@OthO67 I can't speak for Kathy, but my experience after 31 years is the same.
Because we meditate every day the effects or results are almost imperceptible, the difference between today and yesterday is slight, but all the those yesterdays add up to feeling of..... that's where it get's difficult to define, because we have nothing to compare to.
Maharishi in his talks describes it as the "feeling of a child when mother is at home", beautifully put.
Just to add, we are all different and our experiences will vary, and to quote Maharishi again talking about meditation,"Take it easy, and take it as it comes"
So, this is the man to whom we owe TWIN PEAKS, MULHOLLAND DRIVE and LOST HIGHWAY.
Anyone else here after David Lynch's Master Class?
yeah
Yep
Transcendental Yeah!
Yes David Lynch brought me here
Absolutely
To anyone reading this, I wish you well and hope you can find inner peace and happiness :)
I studied in Maharishi Vidya Mandir we were taught to do it twice in the school time. As a kid I didn't realized it's value but now I practice is everyday. And I have felt my mind working without boundaries many a times.
Were you taught advanced techniques too?
I learned TM and it saved my life. We will never know to how many people this happened but Maharishi and his TM is a blessing for mankind.
How to do it exactly?
How do you do it... everyone talks about it... nobody explains how to do it...
@@WikiPeoples Repetition of a 'mantra'. Use, for example, 'Shri ienga namah'. Sit upright - watch out for falling asleep. Repeat this over and over, first saying it quietly, and later hearing it in your mind, you will stop the repetitions naturally when you feel like it. You don't attach any meaning to the phrase, as it is a Dharana technique - concentration on something simple. The mind chatter quietens. In time, the Buddhist insight cycles may come to you, unbidden.

I took a TM course this past week in Brooklyn and Ive been doing the practice for the past 6 days and already feel the benefits.
How do u take the course
Eugene Vienneau bruh what kind of stupid question is that. Just look it up u know u can do that
@@eugenevienneau3071 @Ethan Bloomingdale Sorry you didn’t get a proper answer so far.
Have a look on www.tm.org
There you can find a teacher in your area, because the actual instruction is done person-to-person.
At the top of that page, click on "Find a TM teacher", or on "Choose country" if you’re not in the USA.
Keep it up. It works!
As I was reading your comment, I have a tab open on my browser to make an appointment for the TM course next Saturday in Brooklyn.
I am practising TM for the last 41 years, and I suppose I will do it for another 200 years!!! It is great technique.
I love his eyes full of intelligence and warmth.Never met him but he gave me so much!
I spent a couple of years with him. Incredible. Although I am a Christian, I find the technique refreshing and beneficial.
I was taught transcendental meditation in Boulder Colorado mini years ago back then it cost 35 bucks money well spent I have to laugh at the current gurus of the day Maharishi was a joy I saw him in Miami Florida such a joy!
I have been doing TM regularly since 1972. It's a blessing to life....an absolute blessing.
@@ozgursenturk11-11 TM is actually the revival of an ancient means of transcending...to experience Samadhi. The meditations which have evolved in ignorance in the current era which were popular involve concentration or contemplation, some form of effort. TM, as taught by Maharishi is effortless...no concentration, no effort, where the mind is left to experience spontaneously subtler levels of mind and, ultimately experience pure consciousness, absolute Being.
I learned TM in 1974 because The Beatles were doing it. It is real. It works. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself. TM has gotten me thru many tough times. People, save your money, learn TM and you will improve your life tremendously.
are you still doing it?
"The mind's natural instinct is for greater happiness" - this seems to be much different to Eckhart Tolle's teachings of how dysfunctional the mind is, and his solution to drop mind-made thinking as a solution.
That technique of meditation makes a real wonderful effect even iam today out of the depression which lasted me for 5 months and i am practicing TM Everyday when i get free time.
JAI GURU DEV 🙏
Jai Guru Dev
I have learned Transcendental Meditation in the year 1993 due this effect I decided to become a Transcendental Meditation Teacher in same year and I became T.M.Teacher. I and my family life became Bless full everything fulfilled by naturally than I became as TM and Siddhi Teacher. In the year 2003 our Maharishi Organization convert all TM Teachers who are B.Ed they became as TM Cum Subject Teacher. Now i became and serveing as Principal in our Maharishi Vidya Mandir Schools group with the blessing of Guru Dev and Maharishi ji . Jai Guru Dev Jai Maharishi
We live in a world where billions of humans live in misery while hundreds of billions of other animals are being slaughtered every year.
And yet probably the only way to change all that is to be aware of all the suffering, and still be able to remain happy and "blissful" in order to spread the awareness and empathy instead of misery.
We have a long way to go.
How beautifully said..
I could listen to this gorgeous human talk all day 😊
I've been practicing TM since 1975, thanks to The Beatles, Merv Griffin and the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I can't imagine my life without it.
The deep rest is incredible.
Just took a course last week... best thing I ever did.
What was the experience like for you
We Do Feel Deeply Indebted To Beloved MAHARISHI To Gift The Technique And Technology Of TM To The World
I encourage everybody I know and who I don't know to learn meditation for its pure, innocent way, and goal. thanks maharishi.
Imad Boudiab very well said
Innocence is the right word. It's especially poignant as the world is so corrupted.
Do not thank him because his teachings are very misleading. Take a look at Falun Dafa, good luck
Im so proud im a maharishi student. I was priveleged to witness such good thing .
from where did you get the teaching????
I have just attended a TM weekend course in The Golden Dome and the experience was amazing. I have never been into a building with such a palpable feeling of calm and stillness you could almost taste it! I have had deeper and more intense meditations since the weekend and I will be visiting every year for the rest of my life.
What a gift was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi! Thank you, Beautiful Creator!
These teaches are found every where in world because he has trained them properly...
Jai guru dev
Charlatans on the take like most religion!Hell is paved with good intentions!
This is one of the most essential and profound explanations of the growth of life from the field of problems and suffering to the field of satisfaction, joy, and creativity. Transcendental Meditation is that effortless and natural procedure for exploring the inner field of pure, silent joy, the Self, twice a day. Thank you, Maharishi! -- David Spector, President, Natural Stress Relief/USA
Through a disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi I got to know more about transcendental meditation during my visit to Kumbh Mela in 2019. Can understand how Beatles found bliss during their stay with the Maharishi
TM has brought the light into my life and spiritual parth. Jai Guru Dev.
I hope this helps free me and all my brothers and sisters from unnecessary suffering and brings them peace, creativity and bliss 😊
@whatafag21 Great question.
in TM, the mind completely settles down to the silent source of thought. When you learn, you need a teacher because otherwise you'd have to constantly be figuring out what to do next and whether you're doing it right - your mind can't settle down to silence if you're thinking like that. Once you know how to do it, then you meditate on your own. Sort of like learning to drive (but easier) - you're with the instructor at first but then you can be on your own.
jai gurudev I am aT M prsctioner last 40/yesrs including sidhi It is wonderful techanic helping in controlling strrss snd related diseases
hi sir where are u from?
The thing about letting go is letting go of not just control but everything in ways. Events during the day, what's gonna happen tomorrow or during the week, memories that haven't been dealt with properly, everything must be forgotten in a way. When I go into lucid dreaming states I even forget about my body entirely, unless I see it from afar while astral projecting.
Beautiful and clear explanation of Transcendental Meditation - thanks!
Now this is one man whos smart, and has life figured out.
I offer my gratitude to His Holiness Maharishi Ji. Sadar sabhar Naman.
@MrSF0011 Learn the TM technique. If you already did then my advice is to get a checking of your meditation. The thoughts are natural. In TM you don't TRY to quiet down your thoughts. You don't TRY anything. You don't TRY to meditate either. Thoughts happen, it's a natural part of the process. When you TRY you're not meditating.
Jai Gurudev. Jai Maharishi Ji. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
no - it's me also and thousands of people around the world and the number is growing and growing and every new generation will be captured by it.

I have rarely seen such beautiful eyes.
I thought he has beautiful eyes too.
@Rocky1990 Misery; that is your experience, so someone else can't question its validity. Like that, Maharishi's experience is one of Bliss. As we practice TM, the misery naturally leaves s Bliss/happiness is gained. Like darkness disappears when the light comes.
Thankyou Beloved MAHARISHI
I like this guy. He knows what’s up.

@Yeaahright When you learn TM, your personal instructor will make sure that you have the correct mantra and are using it correctly. So if you've already learned TM, then go to your local TM center and ask to have your meditation checked.
Long ago! I got to see him in the Bahamas - so sweet
The mind doesn't naturally move into states of greater happiness. On the contrary, in its role of validating the ego, it tends to dwell on patterns from the past which reinforce identification of self with beliefs, political doctrines, ideologies and so forth. Its the state of no-mind that can bring us to bliss. So the maharishi is talking out of his bottom 😇
Having a relative who was a direct pupil of The Mahareshi in the 70's and being initiated myself back then and also being very interested on Eckhart Tolle's ego-based philosophy, I find the concept that the existence of these somewhat contradictory philosophies are both creating profound changes in people quite intriguing intriguing. The must be some common ground to be found somewhere.
"ignorance is bliss!"
@@Marcoosianism Both the techniques work because both are aimed at silencing the mind and seeing them as pure thoughts. However profound or however silly the thought is immaterial
I wish I could reach a level of conciousness as these masters.
What makes you so sure you can't?
I wonder why it took me till i was 19 to even be introduced to transcendental meditation..
i have this book on MMY, and it was written by Jack Forem.
it pretty much enlightened me, and i feel that by the time i turn 21, i will have done great things for the world.
=)
how's enlightenment?
Bro, we need an update
Yes, please do update us on your progress.
Update
Where are u now
What a lovely man. I wish I had the opportunity to have had him teach me!
I am lucky being the part of maharishi school teachers
take a look at falun dafa
JAI GURU DEV JAI MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI
TM saved my dads life after he became sober.
I was not aware that this teacher was once an alcoholic.
So much bliss in those eyes. :)

This clears up a lot for me. Many thanks!
This doods voice is freaking adorable
I love maharishi...
imagine:
you are a creature whom has attained perfect bliss and happiness, by transcending the self, isn't it pure logic and compassion that this person wants to share his method of achieving this.
If a person would reach this state of mind and doesn't want to share it with other people so that they can attain the same state, this person isn't really enlightened at all.
Well put!
Dear Sir it is not like that what you are assuming. Transcendtal Meditation is available for all Human beings and to maintain the Purity of the Teaching Procedure it is being Taught by the Trainened Teachers. So please make a note of the same.
@@gunashekarmdu82 so why do the trained teachers charge money then? I think anyone that wants to teach something at this magnitude shouldn't be charging. Hell Mr Miyagi didn't charge the karate kid 😆
There's a website, tm (dot) org, that has a lot of info. Also, if you go to our CZcams channel, there are more videos about TM. Also more info at Maharishi University's website -- there's a link to it on our channel page.

@MrSF0011 Best advice: Learn from a trained teacher. In TM, your mind completely settles down. When you learn, you need a teacher; otherwise you'd have to constantly be figuring out what to do next and whether you're doing it right - and if you have to be thinking like that, no way your mind can settle down to silence. Once you know how to do it, then you meditate on your own. Sort of like learning to drive (but easier) - you're with the instructor at first but then you can be on your own.
Jai Guru Dev to all of you! Enjoy!
@BradBrassman Definitely yes. Transcendental Meditation takes the mind beyond thought, lets it settle down completely. If you have to be constantly thinking about what to do and whether you're doing it correctly, then your mind can't settle down and you won't transcend. So when you first learn, you need a trained teacher who can make sure you're meditating correctly and having good experiences.
Maharishi University of Management what happens when you transcend??How do one know ??
great explanation and info on the power of Transcendental Meditation by Maharishi himself
@MrHarrydash The mantra needs to have two important properties: First, it has to allow your mind to settle down to silence, to the source of thought. Second, it has to be suited to your individual physiology and psychology. TM teachers are trained to choose the correct mantra for each person, and the mantras are from an age-old tradition. Also, you need to learn how to use the mantra properly. Yes, it's very simple to practice TM, but it takes proper training to be able to teach it to everyone.
Maharishi University of Management l
I understand how using a mantra skilfully can unfold within us a state of blissfully experienced self absorption (jnana) Concentration is crucial on the path but is it not insight that leads to breakthrough and nothing else? Please forgive me. I am sure that i am confused in my understanding.
The mantras are from printed lists based on age and gender which have been changed throughout the decades so describing them as chosen from an age-old tradition by trained teachers can be misinterpreted to mean more than it does.
Jai guru Dev
@ilovetodrinkblood The teacher has been trained to select the correct sound (mantra) as part of the personal instruction.
Thankyou Beloved MAHARISHI.......
jai guru dev!!!!
Wow before CZcams you had to go see the video in person
It works!
Beautiful, Jai Guru Dev
I am student of maharishi vidya mandir
I got in it in 1975 and did it a year or 2 and stopped. My life has been a disaster filled with bad decisions. It's late in the game but I am ready to go to an instructor and get my mantra updated and start again never to quite. What a shame I didn't stay with it. Please comment on this.
Find your nearest TM center. If you remember your mantra (discuss this issue further with the local TM teacher) it is trivial to start up your practice again. Make an appointment via www.tm.org and go from there.
Good luck.
Don’t pay for that which has no cost but infinite value
Legend man !! You are hero
Studied with him in 1971 in Northern Cali…
Explaining what is TM mantra is easy, BUT in actual meditation practice is not what everyone thinks is easy.
i feel like i was drawn to this video, My birthday is April 3, and this video was published April 3rd, or it could just be a coincidence idk.
Synchronicity
No such thing as coincidences

whos here after seeing sushants white board

I feel that not every trained TM teacher are able to assign mantra that they think will fit them to meditate. The process of meditation must be explained clearly to learners why mantra is use and elaborate how mind adapts conditioning.

Can anyone recommend a way to get started with TM if they don't have the money to do a course?
