Course Leaders
Raja Peter Warburton, PhD
Raja Peter is currently the Chief Executive Officer at the Maharishi Foundation in the UK as well as several other nations. He has a doctorate in Supreme Political Science from Maharishi University of World Peace. His thesis included the elaborate displays of Total Knowledge charts which he worked on under Maharishi’s guidance. In 1971, Raja Peter graduated with a Masters degree in Social and Political Sciences from Cambridge University. He then became a teacher of TM and started working directly with Maharishi continuously for the next 36 years. During that time, Maharishi tutored Raja Peter personally to bring out the specific curriculum of Total Knowledge — Maharishi’s Vedic Science — which Raja Peter has been doing so inspiringly since 2008. At the same time Raja Peter is also developing the application of Total Knowledge in new directions that Maharishi specified, as we see in this year’s courses at MIU.
Special Guest Vernon Katz, PhD
Dr. Vernon Katz is author of two highly acclaimed volumes of Conversations with Maharishi about the Brahma Sutras (MIU Press). With Dr. Tom Egenes he has also published a well-received new translation of the Upanishads (Tarcher Penguin).
Dr. Katz is currently a trustee emeritus of MIU, as well as a visiting professor in the Department of Maharishi Vedic Science. He received his Doctorate of Philosophy from Oxford University. Dr. Katz spent many years with Maharishi and assisted him with the translation and commentary of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Brahma Sutras.
