In a very moving lecture from 1971, Maharishi recalls that blessed moment when he first saw Guru Dev. Maharishi begins by saying, "It’s a very great fortune to have found him; and from the time I had a glimpse of him, it was a flashy glimpse of light."
This eBook includes audio and text from Maharishi’s lecture. Also included are exquisite paintings by Frances Knight and Werner Bandel. Werner has two new paintings that are featured on the cover and second to last page, and Frances’ paintings are shown throughout the eBook.

NEXT U.S. NATIONAL YAGYA℠ PERFORMANCE
JANUARY 29 – FEBRUARY 8
“Vedic sounds are the sounds of Nature, from where the unity of silence reverberates into diversity. Vedic sounds—they are very, very beautiful. ‘Beautiful’ means Total Natural Law reverberates in those sounds.
“That is our main theme for redressing stress-ridden world consciousness: through Vedic recitations. Vedic recitations redress the topsy-turvy, disturbed value of the fundamental field of reverberations.” —Maharishi
With the U.S. deeply divided and facing challenges at home and abroad, we are reminded of Maharishi’s loving desire to spare us any roughness, missteps, or calamities on our path.
Indeed, Maharishi’s great legacy and parting gift to us was a bright future secured through the power of Yog and Yagya. He gave us the means to neutralize challenges as great as any we face today—and greater.
But, in order to un-girdle the full, nourishing power of Yagya, we need to apply this technology on a scale sufficient to produce the required effect.
We need the largest National Yagyas that we can muster.
The Sankalpa (intention) of the next U.S. National Yagya will be:
Coherence, peace, health, and prosperity
for the United States―and all of its people.
Better still... join our Monthly Giving Circle to assure continuous, ongoing support for the National Yagya program and national coherence. CLICK HERE
With a donation of $1,250 or more, you, your family, someone you designate, or your company will be acknowledged by name on each day of the Vedic performance.
May the full power of Nature’s Creative Intelligence guide and uplift America, and may Maharishi’s legacy of peace and enlightenment permanently bless the human race.

Fairfield, Iowa - A Community with 3,000 Meditators
Amid the lush, rolling farmlands of the Midwest, the small town of Fairfield, Iowa, has become an unlikely mecca for entrepreneurs, sustainability, creativity, and, most of all, the Transcendental Meditation program.
This traditional-looking, southeast Iowa town, gazebo in the town square, historic courthouse with steepled clock tower, is the home of Maharishi International University (MIU). At this unique, fully-accredited, liberal arts university, everyone meditates—students, staff, and faculty—and cutting-edge knowledge of consciousness and the "transcendental experience" are integrated into every academic discipline. MIU is the first university in the world to provide fresh, organic, vegetarian meals.
But the university is just one aspect of the Fairfield meditating community. There's also Maharishi School, nearby Maharishi Vedic City, The Raj health spa, an eco-village, and much more. In addition, a progressive high-tech business segment has prompted journalists to dub Fairfield "Silicorn Valley."

The idea of an India trip came to them in a concretised form when in August 1967, they attended the spiritual guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s seminar on Transcendental Meditation in Bangor, Wales. George Harrison’s long-standing enchantment with India and its culture added a motive in favour of the trip. “We have all the money you could ever dream of. We have all the fame you could ever wish for. But it isn’t love. It isn’t health. It isn’t peace inside, is it?” Harrison said to Saltzman. A conditioned society indoctrinated with the stereotypical binaries associated with the West and the East typically didn’t approve of this idea. The group, however, desperate to find a leader/guru, as per Donavan, shut out all the noise and prepared for their journey.
Travelling in two groups, the team was joined by John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr’s wives, McCartney’s girlfriend, Donovan Leitch, Mia Furrow, Mike Love, ex-road manager Mal Evans along with few other friends and family members. A huge team of reporters followed the band as well, intent on prying on their retreat, but was kept outside the ashram fences. According to Donovan’s account, the first meeting with the yogi was steeped in awkward silence until Lennon pulled one of his antics and patted the yogi on his head saying “there’s a good little guru,” which tickled everyone present to their core.
Their days were dedicated to the practice of stage four of the seven steps of consciousness, which was “pure” transcendental meditation. Mystic as it might sound, the basis of this practice was more scientific than religious with the aim of building up concentration and alertness.
