10,000 for World Peace

In the largest assembly ever held of experts in these Consciousness-Based technologies, more than 10,000 meditators gathered for the first two weeks of 2024 at Kanha Shanti Vanam outside Hyderabad, India.

Participants joined from 139 different countries to demonstrate these proven peace-creating technologies, and practiced long sessions of the Transcendental Meditation and advanced TM-Sidhi programs—not to talk about peace but to actually create it.

A highlight of the Assembly was a dramatic demonstration of brain-wave coherence using EEG (electroencephalography). Scientists showed how the practice produces immediate coherence in brain functioning in an individual that is then instantaneously and enormously enhanced by the meditation of thousands of practitioners gathered in the same location.

The assembly near Hyderabad inaugurated a global initiative to establish permanent peace-creating groups everywhere to establish world peace.Dr. Tony Nader concluded the Assembly with these words: “I urge all the leaders of the world not to delay. Adopt this powerful knowledge now, create groups just like this Assembly of 10,000, and usher in a bright new era of world prosperity and peace.”

Global impact: updates from our projects

This short video highlights some of our partners’ work from around the world, demonstrating the power of Consciousness-Based solutions in transforming lives and communities.

From breaking the cycle of poverty at the Dhammajarinee Witthaya School in Thailand, to empowering women in Uganda through AWAGO, and delivering high-quality education at the Maharishi Invincibility Institute in South Africa, our programs are creating lasting, meaningful change.

In Latin America, our initiatives have reached schools and social projects across the region. Discover the inspiring work of Father Gabriel Mejía’s Hogares Claret Foundation in Colombia, and how more than 100,000 students have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique in Oaxaca, Mexico.

We are also working to establish permanent peace-creating groups across India and Nepal. Thousands of students have already learned the Transcendental Meditation technique and the advanced TM-Sidhi program, fostering inner peace and contributing to a more peaceful world.

Himalayan Devis - Empowering
women from within

The Himalayan Devis Project empowers women in Himalayan villages by reviving ancient Vedic knowledge through scientifically validated practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique and sustainable initiatives like Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture.

So far, Maharishi’s knowledge of Veda and its techniques has reached more than 40,000 women in over 1,200 villages across the Himalayan region.

Local teachers travel every day from their homes to different villages in the mountains in order to reach as many women as possible and create groups of meditators everywhere.
