His Holiness MaHarisHi MaHesH Yogi

Founder of MaharishiUniversity of Management

“Maharishi University of Management is the first university in the world to

unfold a living universe in the physiology of everyone.

The students of Maharishi University of Management have

realized that everyone’s body is the home of all knowledge.

Everyone is the living embodiment of total knowledge,

and in this sense, everyone is a university. This is the supreme

achievement in the field of education….

When the student goes from Maharishi University of Management, it is as if he goes with the whole of knowledge within himself. He enters as a student, but goes out as the living embodiment of all knowledge and the infinite organizing power of Natural Law—Brahma bhavati sarathih, Automation in Administration of every aspect of life.”—His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

* Graduated December, 2016 • For several of the candidates, certain requirements are to be completed before the degree is granted. ∆ Completed training in the Transcendental Meditation-Sidhi program, including Yogic Flying.
