Truly there is in this world nothing so purifying as knowledge; he who is perfected in Yoga, of himself, in time, finds this within himself.

5 - 28 March 2021
LIVE WITH DR PETER WARBURTON, WITH THE SUPPORT OF DR VERNON KATZ AND DR TOM EGENES
Commenting on this verse from the Upanishads on 11 May 2007, Maharishi said: “What do we have in this? We have one phrase of Upanishadic value: ‘Know that one thing, by knowing which, everything can be known’. And where you know that? You know that where you are. You don’t have to hunt it around the forest. You don’t have to go out. You know That. You know thyself. You know thyself. Know thyself. The technique is, ‘Close your eyes and transcend’. When you want to do anything, you open your eyes, and be in the wonderful, wondrous world; you wonder, wonder, wonder. You wander, you wander, you wander outside. There is no end to the wandering, you keep on wandering. And you close your eyes, and you know yourself. Transcend – self-referral.”

With Dr Bevan Morris
5 - 28 May 2021
Published by Maharishi in 1963, “The Science of Being and Art of Living” is the summation of both the practical wisdom of integrated life advance by the Vedic Rishis of ancient India and the growth of scientific thinking in the present-day western world.
“It presents a philosophy of life in fulfilment and brings forth a practice suitable for all men everywhere in the world to glorify all aspects of their day-to-day life. It deals with the fundamentals of all problems of life and suggests one sure cure to eradicate all sufferings.”
In this course, Dr Morris shows how, in the Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi presents the Science of Being as the systematic investigation into the ultimate reality of the universe. Like other sciences, it begins its investigation from the gross, obvious level of life, then delving more deeply into the subtle levels of the experience of Nature, ultimately transcending the subtle regions, and reaching the transcendental field of eternal Being.

Brahman consciousness is an automatic result of the consolidation of living Unity [consciousness]. As one lives Unity, Unity gets more and more consolidated, more and more concentrated. Then one starts to blossom in freedom. One starts to blossom in some kind of freedom right from the beginning of this meditation – Maharishi

DR BEVAN MORRIS ON DEMAND
With Dr Bevan Morris
Dr Morris reveals the essential expressions from Veda and the Vedic literature used by Maharishi in his Vedic Science to elucidate and crystalise our experiences in the rise to higher states of consciousness.
Dr Morris throws light on the significance of these expressions and shares with us precious archival footage of Maharishi explaining them.
With Dr Bevan Morris
Maharishi’s master, Guru Dev, was hailed as “Vedānt Incarnate, the Embodiment of Truth” by Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, the President of India.
Vedānt means the end or culmination, anta, of all knowledge, Veda. Maharishi revealed that Vedānt becomes a practical living reality in the state of Unity Consciousness, Brahmi Chetana. This state is revealed by the famous Upanishadic sayings – mahavakyas – such as Aham Brahmasmi, I Am the Totality.
With Dr Bevan Morris
Celebrating the way Maharishi changed the destiny of the whole world with the offerings of his knowledge and technologies of consciousness.
Inspired by his Master, Guru Dev, Brahmananda Saraswati, Maharishi brought the reality of Brahmi Chetana, Unity Consciousness, to every corner of the world. In every sphere of human existence, he transformed the knowledge available to all people and governments, making the path to permanent peace and prosperity, Heaven on Earth, smooth and natural. As a result, the present generation, and generations yet to be born, will live in bliss, and suffering will disappear from the world.

“The presentation by Dr Warburton was brilliant – such clear explanation of what could be a very, very complex subject. I realise Maharishi structured the course but Dr Warburton conveyed the content so very well. The online course seemed every bit as powerful as the earlier live Total Knowledge courses I have done and being able to look at sessions again on 'catch-up' really helped.” — Course Participant
“Dr Bevan’s lifetime of devotion to Maharishi pours out of every story and description he provides. He brings to life the unfathomable depth of Maharishi’s vision in a way that feels fresh and intimate to my own level of understanding, whilst always pointing to deeper levels ahead.” — Course Participant
“Dr Warburton ran the course brilliantly, always making everyone feel so comfortable and at home, and, at the same time, presenting the knowledge in a more focussed and clear way than ever… The balance of knowledge and stories etc. was perfect, and it was such a delightful experience for everyone.
