Ancient teachers looked within themselves to find answers to questions like: “Who am I?” “Where am I going?” “How can I become more creative and develop my full potential?” and “How am I connected to everything around me?” and “What is the nature of this reality in which we live?”
In this program, you’ll join the ranks of great thinkers to further humanity’s ever-evolving understanding of consciousness and human potential, and dive into a field of study that offers profound opportunities for self-discovery, transformation, and contributing to the greater good.
Investigate modern and traditional perspectives on human potential
Leading scientists suggest that consciousness is as fundamental to life as time and space. Vedic science describes consciousness as even more fundamental, existing in and by itself, independent of any personal owner. These perspectives on consciousness are integrated by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Maharishi Vedic Science, which forms the basis for this program. (see video)
