Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
“Rig Veda calls it Soma. It’s a chemical produced in the system which enriches all these senses, eyes and ears and all these senses, all these paths of perception to the highest ability. This wonderful product is the production of the normally functioning digestive system. And then what one lives is God Consciousness.” –Maharishi

Reviews of Previous Courses with Dr. Bevan Morris
“Bevan has done a brilliant job with this course. I hope he will do more.”
“Dr Bevan Morris has, as always, proven himself an accurate and pure conduit for Maharishi’s Pure Knowledge.”
“Every lesson is filled to overflowing with the reality of Vedanta – one can enjoy again Maharishi lectures from past years which now, seen in the light of this course, provide deeper insights into Vedanta.”
“Taking this course has enriched my experience more than I can say, it has shone a new light on an aspect of my personal experience which was there but not yet recognised – now it has a fresher, deeper meaning. ”
“Very inspiring!”
“Uniquely and very well presented. I learned new things and saw many things in a new light.”
“Dr. Morris, like Maharishi, has a way of making the complex simple. I’ve heard Maya being explained many times by experts including those in the TM organization, but never really got a feel as to what it really is. When Dr. Morris explained Maya in this course that’s the first time I completely understand what it means.”
“Wonderful course!”
“Dr. Morris took great care and thoughtfulness selecting each Vedic Expression and enlivening bliss. The course was delightful.”
