Uniqueness
of Education
at Maharishi Vidya Mandir
EACH SCHOOL DAY
AT MAHARISHI VIDYA MANDIR BEGINS and ends with group practice
of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation program. During this
natural and effortless practice, students and faculty directly
experience Pure Consciousness as the simplest state of their
own awareness, ATMA. This daily practice provides a perfect foundation
for education: the development of one's own consciousness. With
this growth of pure wakefulness, creative genius blossoms and
intelligence and organising power become naturally strong. For
education to be complete, it must include development of consciousness
and the achievement of higher states of consciousness. This has
been missing in education for many centuries.
Knowledge is structured
in consciousness. Therefore, to gain the full value of knowledge,
one must develop the full value of consciousness. If the student's
consciousness is dull, if full potential is not being used, then
receptivity and creativity are cramped. If the student's consciousness
is wide awake, receptivity to knowledge is maximum and learning
is most efficient and most complete.
By starting the
school day with group practice of Maharishi's Transcendental
Meditation program in the classrooms, an environment is created
that is ideal for the learning process. The students gain a natural
orderliness and coherence; they become more receptive to knowledge;
they exhibit greater alertness; and they radiate bliss and friendliness
to their classmates and their teachers.
