Holi is a day of great good fortune — a celebration not only of colors, but of consciousness.
The deeper significance of Holi lies in the awakening of wholeness within. In the story of Prahlad and Hiranyakashipu, we see the symbolic play of divine and opposing tendencies — softness and strength, positivity and negativity — both present in life and within ourselves. Like a rose that holds both petals and thorns, existence carries contrasting qualities together.

Holi reminds us that true completeness comes not by rejecting one side, but by embracing the full spectrum in awareness. When both uplifting and challenging tendencies are acknowledged in consciousness, the mind becomes integrated and whole. This integration dissolves inner conflict and brings stability.

In daily life, we often move with hesitation and doubt — unsure of outcomes, reacting to circumstances, pulled between extremes. The purpose of celebration in Indian tradition has always been to elevate consciousness — to bring awareness to a state of fullness where diversity and unity coexist harmoniously.

Through the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation, the mind settles effortlessly into its silent depth — the field of pure awareness. In that expanded state, opposing tendencies lose their friction. Clarity replaces confusion. Balance replaces inner division. Action becomes more grounded and effective.

This Holi, let us celebrate not only with external colors, but with inner awakening. Let us allow consciousness to become complete — embracing every shade of experience in the light of expanded awareness.

Wishing you a Holi filled with harmony, integration, and lasting inner joy. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Within every individual lies an extraordinary inner richness—an abundance of creativity, clarity, joy, and intelligence waiting to be discovered. Yet the pace of daily life often covers this inner treasure, keeping many from experiencing their highest potential. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi often reminded us that meditation acts like a precise, gentle instrument that helps reveal the greatness already present within each person.

Through Transcendental Meditation, the mind naturally settles beyond the surface level of thought and experiences pure consciousness—the silent source of inner strength and coherence. In this deep, restful awareness, stress dissolves, fatigue releases, and the qualities long hidden beneath the noise of daily life begin to shine with greater brilliance.

Regular TM practice awakens clearer thinking, spontaneous creativity, emotional balance, and a profound sense of joy. It helps individuals move through life with greater ease, purpose, and harmony—reminding us that the treasure we seek in the outside world has always existed within our own consciousness.

By turning inward, we uncover the vast reservoir of energy and intelligence that elevates every aspect of life. Transcendental Meditation becomes the pathway to revealing this inner fullness—effortlessly and naturally.

In a spontaneous and refreshingly honest moment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jerry Seinfeld opened up about a practice that has been a steady part of his life for over five decades—Transcendental Meditation.

When Stephen Colbert casually asked, “Do you meditate?”, Seinfeld replied with his signature wit, calling it his “Hollywood answer.” But the conversation quickly revealed something deeper. Jerry shared that he has been practicing Transcendental Meditation since the early 1970s, a detail that genuinely surprised Colbert.

With humour and clarity, Seinfeld described TM as “the greatest technique for rest and lowering the stress level.” As the conversation unfolded, Colbert remarked on how relaxed and content Jerry seemed—especially in the midst of challenging times. Seinfeld’s response was simple, direct, and unmistakable:

“Don’t you wonder how this guy can be so relaxed and so happy in the middle of this terrible crisis? … No, it’s Transcendental Meditation.”

What made the moment resonate was its authenticity—no promotion, no exaggeration, just a personal reflection from someone who has lived the experience consistently for decades. The exchange ended with Colbert’s quiet but telling response:

“I’ll try it.”

A light conversation that carried a powerful reminder—that inner calm, resilience, and clarity can become a natural part of life when a practice truly works. Jerry Seinfeld

In a recent podcast on Sanskar TV, Shri Ajay Prakash Shrivastava, Chairman of the Maharishi Sansthan and Chancellor of the Maharishi University of Information Technology, offered a clear and grounded perspective on the relevance of Transcendental Meditation in modern life.

He explained that the practice requires only 20 minutes in morning and evening, yet the benefits extend far beyond the time invested. These benefits are not anecdotal; they are supported by decades of scientific research, documenting improvements in mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.

Stress, he noted, is a universal human experience. Whether one is a student, professional, homemaker, driver, pilot, or teacher, stress arises both from professional responsibilities and personal life challenges. Transcendental Meditation works at the root level, helping to dissolve both forms of stress naturally and effortlessly.

As stress reduces, the mind settles into a state of calm — often described as peace of mind. From this settled state, thinking becomes clearer and more coherent. Since every action originates from thought, a calm and orderly mind naturally leads to better decision-making, more effective action, and more fulfilling outcomes.

Transcendental Meditation does not demand belief or lifestyle change. It simply allows the mind to access a deeper level of rest, enabling one’s best thinking and potential to emerge naturally.

The conversation reflects the vision of Maharishi Sansthan and the academic leadership of Maharishi University of Information Technology, where consciousness-based education and scientifically validated meditation practices are central to holistic development. Ajay Prakash Shrivastava

Maha Shivratri invites us into silence—into the deeper dimensions of consciousness that lie beyond thought and activity. It is a night traditionally associated with inner awakening, when stillness itself becomes transformative.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji explained that true growth begins with the fourth state of consciousness—Transcendental Consciousness. This is the most settled state of the mind, a silent field of pure awareness that exists beneath mental activity. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple, effortless technique that allows the mind to naturally transcend thought and experience this state directly.

Distinct from waking, dreaming, and sleep, Transcendental Consciousness is marked by restful alertness—deep rest for the body alongside full wakefulness of awareness. Through regular practice of TM, this inner silence begins to stabilize, gently nourishing clarity, balance, and coherence in daily life.

In the Vedic tradition, this fourth state is revered as Turiya. The Mandukya Upanishad captures its essence with timeless precision:

“Shivam shantam advaitam chaturtham manyante, sa atma sa vigyeyaha.”
“Blissful, peaceful, non-dual—they call it the fourth. That is the Self; that is to be known.”

On Maha Shivratri, the night of silence and awakening, we are reminded that Turiya is not distant or mystical. It is our natural state—quiet, eternal, and within.

🕉️ Transcend. Settle. Awaken.

Meet Martina, from Melbourne, Australia, whose journey with Transcendental Meditation (TM) has gently but profoundly reshaped her daily life.

During her visit to Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, Martina shared how she has been practicing TM for the past two years—and how her very first experience of meditation left a deep and lasting impression. The sense of calmness, relaxation, and inner bliss she felt made her realise that TM was not something to do occasionally, but something to live with every day.

As her practice became regular, meditation naturally turned into a form of deep self-care. Martina explains that on days when she misses her meditation, she feels the difference immediately—not just mentally, but at a much deeper level within. Meditating every morning and afternoon has become her way of nurturing herself, which in turn helps her show up with greater kindness, balance, and awareness in her relationships and daily life.

When asked which teaching of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has impacted her life the most, her response was immediate and heartfelt: Transcendental Meditation. For Martina, TM forms the foundation for both the body and the mind—a necessary first step before any deeper growth or refinement can unfold. By allowing the mind to settle naturally, TM establishes inner stability, clarity, and a grounded sense of well-being that supports every area of life.

Martina’s experience is a gentle reminder that true well-being begins within. When the mind and body are allowed to experience deep rest, life flows with greater ease, awareness, and harmony—no effort, no strain, just a return to our most natural state. Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital

In an exclusive conversation, Mr. Lakshman Shrivastava, Director of Maharishi Ayurveda, shares why Transcendental Meditation (TM) is considered the most beneficial meditation technique.

Unlike other practices that require concentration, control of thoughts, or forced focus, TM is completely natural and effortless. It makes use of the mind’s own tendency to move toward greater bliss, allowing us to transcend thought and experience pure consciousness, the silent source of energy, creativity, and inner calm within us.

This is why TM has been embraced by more than 10 million people worldwide, including leading sportspeople, business leaders, and global influencers. With just 20 minutes of practice morning and evening, practitioners enjoy profound benefits backed by 700+ scientific studies across 35+ countries.

As Mr. Shrivastava beautifully explains, “Anything against the nature of the mind is forced. Transcendental Meditation works with the nature of the mind—and that’s why it gives the greatest benefits.”
