Course Description

When Maharishi designed the Total Knowledge courses with Dr. Peter Warburton in 2006-2007, he defined all aspects of the courses. These courses encapsulate — in the most lively, illustrated manner — the profound structure and fabrics of the unmanifest and its relationship to all manifestations. The courses were formulated to take participants from the experience of normal everyday existence to deep and deeper levels of understanding of the ultimate relationship between absolute silence and infinite dynamism, Gyan Shakti and Kriya Shakti.

At the same time, while developing the courses, Maharishi also outlined what would come out after these basic courses in Total Knowledge. He asked Dr. Warburton to record those discussions. This new course will go beyond the basic Total Knowledge courses and explore these deeper realms of knowledge that Maharishi outlined.

This special new course will include these and other talks of Maharishi, along with charts, exercises, stories, and all that we have come to know and appreciate in Raja Peter’s Total Knowledge courses.

Maharishi described this further development of knowledge in the historic talk on Raja Pater’s birthday in 2007, after completing the development of the basic Total Knowledge courses.

Maharishi explained that the courses expound Brahmavidya — knowledge of totality. “This is developing in the expression of the exposition of Total Knowledge through these graphs, through these charts, by Dr. Warburton,” Maharishi said, and which Raja Peter “is yet to express. What is further going to come out of him is BrahmBrahm, Total Knowledge in action, that is centered in ‘A,’ the first syllable of the Veda, which is the flow of Atma, the flow of the Self. Everything is there in the Atma.”

Five stars  “We get an inside, more intimate view of Maharishi’s thinking and how he worked with Raja Peter to refine the presentation of this knowledge so that it could be given out to anyone in the world in an understandable way. If you haven’t already taken the first 4 Total Knowledge courses, then you might want to do that first. But even if you can’t do that first, be patient and focus well, and you will still get a lot out of this. Guaranteed!!!!” —VM

Five stars  “A truly enlightening journey, both subjectively and objectively, with an abundance of nature’s charm. (Thanks, Peter!) J.G.D.” —JM

Five stars  “Well put together course which kept focus, and unique personal recollections from the last years of Maharishi’s life and teaching.” —RB

Five stars  “I am so thankful I signed up for this course – it exceeded all expectations.” —CB

Five stars  “This Total Knowledge course is the ultimate knowledge that Maharishi wanted to give before he would leave. At first I thought that the knowledge looked a bit “intellectual,” since I did not have the experiences that correspond to these fine fabrics of the mechanics of creation of Veda and of the universe. But I realized, with the fine tuning of Raja Peter’s talent, that Total Knowledge is my own experience now. I literally own it to some great degree unexpected before. The course presents the finest discovery of the process of creation. And what is marvelous about it is that each lesson is linked quite naturally, without pushing on this aspect, to our experience. One comes to recognize that the Veda, the Atma, the experience of the Swaras, of the gaps of silence and creativity, are functional within ‘oneself.’ Each session is an experience of true awakening of one’s Self, and this happens ‘after’ Meditation. It is wonderful. —RB

Five stars  “This course is so well structured, and we literally fly from one lesson to the next without noticing explicitly that it is so well structured. Every fine expression of Maharishi is looked at with great attention, and one becomes so much appreciative of Maharishi and of the great Peter Warburton, who Maharishi trained to explain the knowledge in fine details.” —RB

Five stars  “It is important to have had a little direct experience with subject matter to absorb.” —LW

Five stars  “If you want to know the answer to all questions you have about life and the whole rest, take this course.” —HB

Five stars  “A worthwhile essential continuation of Total knowledge, in order to eventually gain a complete understanding of Maharishi’s concepts.” —PM

Five stars  “It is a very deep dive into Maharishi’s Vedic Science with an expert teacher whom Maharishi spent considerable time preparing to structure and teach this course. The course expands one’s understanding and appreciation of all Maharishi’s teachings and technologies.” —SM

Five stars  “Really, really interesting! It’s a whole new experience in learning, to live the steps of expansion of Total Knowledge as Maharishi unfolds it IN TIME. Raja Peter led us from the inevitable wholeness — most succinctly and simply stated — through almost to creation, the mystery ‘ma to ka’ — over hill and dale, somersaults to deep dives, into fathomless gaps, only to emerge on the other side smarter and more evolved. And we’re all in it together! Endlessly fascinating, and endlessly fulfilling.” —CB

Five stars  “It is a very easy way to understand how creation works, how creation begins and creates again and again without physical formulas.” —ED

Five stars  “Full and satisfying. Detailed and precise. Illuminating and enlightening. One has to focus. It is not an idle entertainment to be done while dividing the mind, but I found it to be deeply fulfilling to follow the logical development from step to step.” —RB

Five stars  “As a deep dive into MVS from the perspective of Yoga and Vedanta. Very abstract and charming. This knowledge has a purifying influence on intellect and mind. Knowing this makes daily program and whole life more meaningful.” —DF

Five stars  “Such a wonderful course! It has been so inspiring to see how Total Knowledge unfolded and so fun to get to see Maharishi work on its development. My understanding of Total Knowledge expanded greatly. Can’t wait for the next iteration in the sequence!” —BW

Five stars  “[Take this course] if you want to learn of the nature and structure of your own consciousness at the deepest level, of how it is unity and diversity at the same time, that a lively nothingness within contains infinite variety, and when we merge fully with the totality of Being… [that] we can do anything that is noble, honorable and necessary, and all laws of nature will aid us in doing so.” —DJ

Five stars  “An examination of the mechanics of consciousness through the study of Veda and how it arises from the Field of Total Knowledge, the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature.” —AT

Five stars  “Total Knowledge Courses are a must for everyone to understand yourself and reality. There is always interconnection between teacher and pupils, so everyone can stay on the track. All course sessions can be reviewed many times. Everything is also documented with Maharishi’s original charts, explanations. Raja Peter, whom Maharishi chose to spread this knowledge, is a very nice and humorous person. I think all the course participants love him.” —EP

Five stars  “Understanding the structuring of knowledge and reality.” —DL

Five stars  “The course lays an infinitely helpful, also practically helpful basis for a life outside/in freedom ‘from narrow boxes’ of human life… As one’s awareness grows, the course helps so much to have ‘orientation’ on what is happening. This makes the course also a very practical course.” —RK

Five stars  “In-depth understanding of the unmanifest.” —JL

Four stars  “From what I had learnt, it was broken down carefully and then discussed. There is plenty of open discussion between presenter and participants.” —ME

Four stars  “This course goes into Maharishi’s vision of the Vedas, how Creation comes about, and how Natural Law supports and creates everything in the Relative Fields. As always, Raja Peter’s personal experiences and stories of Maharishi were charming.” —MW

Four stars  “Very detailed.” —EM

Four stars  “TK 2.0 deepens my understanding of all of the prior TK courses I have taken which increases the liveliness of the Veda within me providing greater satisfaction to both my intellect and ego, while creating many more provocative questions.” —JL

Four stars  “Good to attend this class.” —NZ
