A recent wide-ranging report on the success of Maharishi University of Management included many developments and breakthrough achievements in the area of Consciousness-Based Education, at both the university and Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment, located on the MUM campus in Fairfield, Iowa, USA.

The presentation by the university’s President, Dr Bevan Morris, included specifics of student successes, demonstrated not only through research on brain coherence, self-development, and other educational outcomes, but also in contests and competitions throughout Iowa and the United States.


Taken individually many of the achievements would be considered outstanding. Taken collectively they make clear why an increasing number of government officials, educators, and other prominent public figures have praised Maharishi University of Management as a bright star in the galaxy of institutions of higher learning in the USA and around the world.

Following are a few highlights of the presentation:

Describing how the MUM campus has changed and developed since 1979, Dr Morris noted the priority the university's Founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, placed on living, working, and studying in buildings designed according to Vastu architecture principles .


Dr Morris characterized the Maharishi Effect of coherence in collective consciousness, created by large groups of people practising Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques, as 'the greatest discovery of this scientific age'. This effect was predicted by Maharishi in the early 1960s and verified by researchers, many of them at MUM, in numerous scientific studies. (read more)
