Maharishi's Total Knowledge

Total Knowledge and the Brahma Sutras with special guest Dr Vernon Katz

" For the non-seeker, the Brahma Sutras serve as a means of inspiration. For the seeker – the man on the path – they become the authentic expressions to verify his personal experiences. And for the enlightened, they become the waves of joyfulness." - Maharishi, Lake Tahoe, California, USA, September 1972 Sunday 23 October - Sunday 6 November This unique course in Maharishi's Total Knowledge evolved during four years of intensive study that Raja Peter enjoyed with Maharishi from 2004 to 2007. The course presents a comprehensive vision of Total Knowledge and includes a simple and systematic unfoldment of Maharishi’s total insight into the structure of the Absolute, the field of Brahm, Totality, and its manifestation in the field of diversity while remaining nothing other than Totality. Course participants frequently report profound insights and blissful experiences during the course.

The Brahma Sutras, according to Dr Vernon Katz, are concise expressions of the nature of Brahm, which stabilise the experience of Brahman Consciousness where the entire universe is appreciated in terms of the Self. In Dr Katz’s book ‘Conversations with Maharishi’, he says, “The Brahma Sutras trace the steps whereby Brahman - wholeness of life - grows in one's awareness until it becomes as full-grown as the unbounded wholeness that is more than the collection of all the states of consciousness out of which it has grown.”

In this special feature Total Knowledge course, Raja Peter and Dr Vernon Katz will bring together Maharishi’s earliest and latest expressions of supreme knowledge.

Dr Katz worked closely with Maharishi on the translation of and commentary on the ‘Bhagavad-Gita’ and recently published the second volume of ‘Conversations 12

Special Courses with Raja Peter First major course in the new Maharishi Peace Palace

with Maharishi’ based on discussions that took place principally in the context of preparing a translation of the Brahma Sutras.

“ I have been looking forward to an opportunity to attend Raja Peter’s Total Knowledge course, as it presents Maharishi’s latest approach for unfolding the knowledge of Totality, Brahm, as developed from 2004 to 2007. It will be interesting to see how this compares with Maharishi’s early expressions of the same knowledge that came out during our conversations about the Brahma Sutras from 1968 to 1975.

This promises to be a most interesting and illuminating course." - Dr Vernon Katz

Specifically the Total Knowledge course...

• makes advanced aspects of knowledge from Maharishi accessible, easily and enjoyably.

• presents an integrated framework of the Unmanifest and all its manifestations.

• provides a unique understanding and experience of wholeness, Totality, Brahm.

• reveals engaging stories about Maharishi relating to the knowledge.

• includes long rounding to support profound experience, deep rest, and bliss.

• includes rare video-tapes of Maharishi.

Total Knowledge course participant testimonials " The most remarkable impression for me was the clarity of the knowledge and application in all areas of life."

– CP Bulgaria

“ I entered the course not knowing what to expect and I’m leaving the course amazed at what I’ve learned and experienced. I’m very excited to participate in more.”

– Barbara Ketley, UK

“ This course was like the old days of being all together on courses with Maharishi.” – Nan White, USA

This course is suitable for Sidhas and Governors, and all Meditators with a keen interest in Maharishi's Vedic Science.

Course Options Weeks 1 & 2: Week 1: Week 2:

Sunday 23 October - Sunday 6 November Sunday 23 - Sunday 30 October Sunday 30 October - Sunday 6 November

Note: Week 2 can only be attended if TK 1 & 2 have already been taken previously.

Total Knowledge and the Evolutionary Perspective of Religious Codes

Raja Peter will conduct this course, which will be enjoyable for all Meditators, Sidhas and Governors, including new Meditators.

Friday 10 – Tuesday 14 February 2017 (4 days) Investigating everywhere the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent to discover the source of all life in the Light of God.

"The path of religion from beginning to end is the blossoming of bliss. Not only when the lotus is fully bloomed, but as it opens, there are waves of bliss at every stage. ...From the beginning to the end, one sings the glory of God." – Maharishi This course is based on extensive discussions with Maharishi about world religions over many years, including in the context of drafting the Total Knowledge charts between 2004 and 2007 - charts which emphasise the practical knowledge to live the light of God in daily life.

As early as 1977, Maharishi gave Raja Peter a special project to study the scriptures of the major religions to find that they all contain the most beautiful expressions about the experience of transcending and the development of higher states of consciousness.

Raja Peter will also discuss the role of major religions in the world today, including Maharishi’s astute observation: “ It’s never the religions that fight, it’s the stress that fights.” “ Raja Peter brilliantly taps into the essence of all major religions and highlights that their deepest truths universally point towards self-

realisation, that we are not separate from God, but rather He is found within us and in every aspect of creation.” - Tom Escott

Special Interest Courses

Maharishi Vedic Astrology (1 week)

- with Dr Peter Warburton (Raja Peter) and other experts.

Friday 12 – Friday 19 May Gaining mastery over Natural Law through Maharishi Jyotish & Maharishi Yagya.

Maharishi Vedic Science in Agriculture and Gardening - with Dr Peter Swan.

Thursday 20 to Monday 24 April (4 days)

Key to Personal Enlightenment, Global Affluence and Sustainability.

The course offers the knowledge of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture® as a whole – complete knowledge of practice and theory. It is for everyone who wants to know about truly healthy food and how it is produced; for every gardener and every farmer.

This Course was developed by Dr Peter Swan who worked with Maharishi on Vedic agriculture projects for many years, and in the process deeply researched the basis of food production.

Dr Swan is Minister of Communication of the Global Country of World Peace (www.globalcountry.org/wp/) and a regular presenter on the Maharishi Channel, in particular Maharishi's Global Family Chat. “ For everyone who wants an in-depth, comprehensive vision of an inspiring future for our world through agriculture, including abundant practical information on how to get started from a window box to a farm or an entire desert region, this course is an absolute must.” - DF 14

Having studied Maharishi Jyotish under Maharishi's guidance, Raja Peter will lead this unique course. It will include beautiful tapes of Maharishi, Dr Tony Nader and other scientists giving insights into this supreme science of prediction and ‘averting the danger before it arises.’

This course includes basic knowledge of the Kundali (birth chart), Grahas (Planets), Bhavas (Houses) and Nakshatras (Constellations). “ We are on the verge of creating Heaven on Earth, and therefore this knowledge of Jyotish blossoms now for everyone to enjoy heavenly consciousness - fully awake

consciousness - reverberating blissful daily life. So here is an invitation to the people

to create heaven in their life by developing their own consciousness through the study and practical programmes of Maharishi Jyotish.” – Maharishi

AyurVeda for Women - with Sue Lincoln, Maharishi AyurVeda consultant.

Friday 30 June – Sunday 2/Monday 3 July (2/3 days)

A comprehensive look at Maharishi AyurVeda’s approach to creating, nurturing and maintaining excellent health for women of all ages. Includes a short personal consultation for each course participant, with advice on relevant remedies and general tips for maximising emotional and physical health.

European Young Meditators’ One-week Course

- with Raja Peter and James Scott (with optional extension to ‘The Architecture of the Universe’ course).

The Architecture of the Universe

- with Dr Eckart Stein, Dr Lila-Maria Hartmann-Stein, and John Renwick.

Saturday 2 – Wednesday 6 September (4-day TM Retreat) Dr Eckart Stein, the published quantum physicist, and his wife Dr Lila-Maria Hartmann-Stein, daughter of Dr Eike Hartmann, the great Vastu Architect will be visiting to lead this course together with UK Vastu Consultant, John Renwick.

Friday 25 August – Friday 1 September

“These summer courses are the highlight of the year for Liselotte and me, and we really do look forward to being with everyone again.” – Raja Peter We are delighted to be continuing the tradition of the successful one-week summer courses for younger Meditators and Sidhas (age 18 – 45) from throughout Europe. People just love these courses!

Previous venues have been Spain, Italy, Croatia, Germany and the Netherlands.

This year the Maharishi Peace Palace in Rendlesham, UK will be your host.

Come and deepen your experience of Transcendental Consciousness, the field of inner bliss and pure intelligence, the basis for full development of heart and mind.

Special videotaped lectures by Maharishi will be shown throughout, providing deep insights into the development of consciousness through Transcendental Meditation and the practical benefits of the programme.

Raja Peter enjoys sharing inspiration about all aspects of Maharishi’s teaching and provides guidance and support to the course participants. James Scott, one of our dynamic new young TM Teachers, will be joining Raja Peter to lead the course.

Lila-Maria and Eckart oversaw the building of the first Peace Palace in Europe in Erfurt, Germany. Dr Stein is well-known for his illuminating presentations on the connection between Vedic Science and Quantum Mechanics, and on Maharishi’s role in making Vedic knowledge available to everyone though direct experience. “ In our lifetime, we give credit to Guru Dev’s life, a life of silence, which was enlivening cosmic Being. During his lifetime, in the first half of the twentieth century, the theories of quantum physics emerged and were developed more and more… as more and more people opened their awareness to Being … different languages came out to describe the reality in different ways: language of physics, chemistry, mathematics,…etc.” - Maharishi This course will examine in detail the recently-developed Unified Field Chart for Architecture, and how the knowledge of Maharishi Vastu – Architecture in accord with Natural Law – is being revived for the design and construction of buildings all over the world.

We will hear of the ongoing work to fulfil Maharishi’s final wish to create ‘Maharishi Towers of Invincibility’ as homes of Total Knowledge in major cities around the world. The course leaders will talk about their experiences of implementing the first Peace Palaces in Europe, at Erfurt in Germany and in the UK at Rendlesham.

Become a Sidha in 2017

“ If we have practised the TM-Sidhi Programme, then the conscious mind will always

start thinking from that deepest level of the self-referral state of intelligence. And any

thought that emerges consciously from there has the support of all the Laws of Nature.

And any thought with the full support of Natural Law will always be fulfilled quickly without loss of time, without struggle and strife.” - Maharishi

Yogic Flying™ The most powerful aspect of this programme is the Yogic Flying Technique when brainwave synchrony is maximized as the body lifts up and moves forward in short hops. Internally, the experience is accompanied by feelings of exhilaration, expanded awareness, inner freedom, lightness and “bubbling bliss." These qualities carry over into daily life. The combination of inner silence and outer dynamism provides a powerful means of stabilising higher states of consciousness - enlightenment.

Accelerate your personal journey towards Enlightenment Transform your life with the TM-Sidhi Programme® and create more peace, harmony and positivity in world consciousness. " During the course I experienced boundless joy and bliss which was delightful.

It was one of the best things I have ever done. My personal development has moved forward so far and fast. I would recommend the TM-Sidhi course to anyone who wants to have their desires fulfilled effortlessly and spontaneously.”

The Transcendental Meditation technique allows the mind to settle down effortlessly and naturally to experience pure consciousness - the Self, the silent inner reservoir of creativity and intelligence that underlies all our mental activity.

The TM-Sidhi Programme balances mind and body from the deepest level of consciousness, culturing the ability to think and act from that profound inner silence, so that all our thoughts and actions are most powerful and effective.

18

Research shows that during Transcendental Meditation, brain functioning becomes highly orderly and coherent. During the TM-Sidhi practice, especially Yogic Flying, this coherence becomes even more widespread. Heightened coherence indicates greater use of the brain’s potential.

TM-Sidhi Course (Part 1) 1st Weekend Friday 24 – Sunday 26 March 2nd Weekend Friday 5 – Sunday 7 May 3rd Weekend Friday 2 – Sunday 4 June TM-Sidhi Course (Part 2) Yogic Flying (2 weeks) Friday 4 – Friday 18 August

‘Fast Track’ to becoming a Sidha

Normally all four Advanced Techniques of Transcendental Meditation are required to be taken before the TM-Sidhi course. However, for this year’s TM Sidhi course this requirement has been waived, and you can literally ‘Fast Track’ onto the course. This is being allowed to support your individual growth to Enlightenment, but also because of the urgent need to create more harmony, peace and prosperity in world consciousness. Nonetheless, it is still recommended that if possible you take some of the four Advanced Techniques before the TM-Sidhi course.

Group Practice of the TM-Sidhi Programme

When you join in with a group practising the TM-Sidhis together, this contributes to a profound effect on national and world consciousness – and many people find that they have much deeper and more powerful

experiences. After the course you are encouraged to do this as often as possible in the Maharishi Peace Palace or at your local TM Centre.

There will be group practice twice daily comprised of residents from

Maharishi Garden Village plus those Sidhas attending events and TM

Retreats in the building. For more information on how the TM-Sidhis contribute to world peace please go to: www.yogicflying.org/

“ The establishment of the Peace Palaces is for permanent peace on earth for all the future.” - Maharishi Yogic Flying

Courses for Sidhas and Governors

(TM Teachers)

Invincible Europe Assembly (IEA)

A powerful course for individual enlightenment and national invincibility.

Maharishi first offered this wonderful course in 2006, in response to the pressing need of the time for more coherence and positivity in world consciousness. The course routine generates maximum bliss and enlightenment, and promotes national, continental and global peace and invincibility. Maharishi said that the experiences of higher states of consciousness on this course were the fulfilment of his 50 years of teaching TM. “ All my tiredness left me, then my meditations became clearer and clearer and I started

to have meditations which no words can describe. The best I can do is to say they became soft, flowing, velvety, liquid, delicious, totally satisfying, with these qualities flowing through every fibre of my being.... Do everything you can to get on an IEA.” - HK

3 two-week blocks

Block 1: Friday 24 Feb – Friday 10 March. Co-ordinator, Henry Brighouse Block 2: Friday 9 – Friday 23 June – Co-ordinator, John Darby

Meditation Hall - Maharishi Peace Palace

Block 3: Friday 8 – Friday 22 September – Co-ordinator, Gerard Lambert This is the ultimate course for Sidhas with much of the day spent diving into lively silence through a greatly extended TM-Sidhi programme. Participants talk of the immense clarity and expanded consciousness that is carried out into activity after the course – and many return again and again.

Interactive sessions with Raja Peter and unique recordings of Maharishi speaking to the Invincible America Assembly complement the profound experiences reported by course participants. uk.tm.org/invincibility-programme 20

Rāmāyan in Human Physiology

Discovering the Eternal Reality of the Rāmāyan in the Structure and Function of Human Physiology.

Monday 10 - Easter Monday 17 April (1 week) - led by Dr Walter Mölk

New 16 Lesson Course created by Dr Tony Nader, MD, PhD (Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam*) for Sidhas and Governors.

In this video course, Maharishi explains the deepest essence of the Rāmāyan.

Become immersed in this beautiful knowledge, presented by Maharaja, who will also connect live for a Q & A session towards the end of the course.

Maharaja describes his discovery, made under the guidance of Maharishi, that the eternal epic of Vedic Literature, the Ramayan, is a description of total Natural Law expressing itself in human physiology. Its characters and their actions and interactions unfold the story of Natural Law as it expresses itself into all aspects of creation.

The Bhagavad Gita as a Complete Guide to Practical Life Friday 14 - Tuesday 18 July (4 days) - designed by Judy Booth and led by Paul and Judith Kember.

Since time immemorial, the Bhagavad Gita has been hailed as one of the most cherished classics of world literature, having been commented on and translated more widely than any other known work of literature.

In this course we will glimpse the essence of its most profound and practical teaching, which Maharishi has revived in his translation and commentary and restored to the world in its completeness. We will see why he describes the knowledge imparted in the Gita as being “indispensable” to the life of anyone in any age.

This discovery was so significant that it led Maharishi to greatly honour Dr Nader and he was subsequently appointed the leader of his worldwide organisation, the Global Country of World Peace, with the title *Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, the greatest of his enlightened administrators.

Dr Mölk is Deputy Minister of Health of the Global Country of World Peace.

Highly honoured by Maharishi and Maharaja (with whom he worked closely for many years), he was involved with editing and designing two books by Maharaja, “Human Physiology – Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature” and “Ramayan in Human Physiology,” on which this course is based.

He will guide the course participants in discussion and exercises that connect the main ideas of the lesson with the development of their own creative potential.

“… when you are living in a proper Vastu there is a connectedness with your own cosmic status...” – Maharishi The Maharishi Peace Palace in rural Suffolk is nestled in a unique location at the heart of Maharishi Garden Village, a development of 60 dwellings, where all the buildings are also designed according to Maharishi Vastu - the most ancient form of Vedic architecture, yet with a delightful Suffolk ‘rural/Georgian’ style. Visitors have reported that the atmosphere is perfect to dive deep in their meditation. This effect should be greatly magnified in the Peace Palace itself.

Come and be one of the first to experience this wonderful course location. Extend your stay to enjoy all that this area of outstanding natural beauty has to offer.

Expansion of Maharishi Garden Village is planned with the development of 50 new homes on the adjacent site to the existing dwellings and the Peace Palace.
