Transcendental Meditation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendental Meditation, or TM, is the trademarked name of a meditation technique introduced in 1958 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1917-2008). The technique, practiced for twenty minutes twice a day while sitting with one's eyes closed,[1] does not involve concentration or contemplation.
Procedure and goal
The technique is taught to new practitioners in a standardized, seven-step procedure, comprised of two introductory lectures, a personal interview, and a two-hour instruction session given on each of four consecutive days. Instruction begins with a short puja ceremony performed by the teacher, after which the student receives a mantra, learns the technique, and begins practicing. Subsequent sessions provide further clarification of correct practice, as well as more information about the technique.
Origin
In 1955, the Indian ascetic [5] Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (born Mahesh Prasad Varma) began teaching a meditation technique he says was derived from the Vedas; he gave this method the name Transcendental Meditation.
Prior to this, Maharishi had studied with Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, serving as his secretary from 1941 until Brahmananda Saraswati's death in 1953. In 1957, Maharishi began the Spiritual Regeneration Movement in Madras, India, on the concluding day of a festival held in remembrance of his deceased teacher. In 1958 he began the first of a number of worldwide tours promoting and disseminating his technique.
In the early 1970s, Maharishi undertook to establish one Transcendental Meditation teaching center for each million of the world's population, which at that time would have meant 3,600 Transcendental Meditation centers throughout the world. In 1990, Maharishi began the coordination of the teaching of the Transcendental Meditation technique from the town of Vlodrop, the Netherlands, through an organization he called the Global Country of World Peace. This group reports that more than 6 million people worldwide have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique since its introduction
