Course Description

Maharishi

Global Country Flag

In February and March 2006, Maharishi offered an extraordinary and unique conference, called the Parliament of World Peace, in which he gave talks laying out the fundamentals of world peace from within twelve main areas of life.

We are fortunate that Dr. Peter Warburton will guide us through these very special talks, in which Maharishi presented his ultimate and supreme insights into each area from the level of Total Knowledge. The course will include Dr. Warburton’s usual delightful and engaging mix of Maharishi’s talks, comments, and questions from course participants; charts; and exercises.

Here is a sample of Maharishi’s insights into the six areas which will be covered in this course:

  • Trade, Commerce, and Communication: “All the glory of communication through computer science is completely acceptable. But admiring that does not mean ignoring a more valuable level of knowledge in the field of action, which is Vedic Communication, Vedic Trade.”
  • Law and Order: “Body is life and mind is life. Intellect is life. Ego is life. Atma is life. All these are different aspects of life. All these together have to be lived in perfect order, so that Law and Order is never out of one’s basic reality.”
  • Art and Music: “We are inaugurating today the essential quality of the unmanifest field of life in its process of manifestation. The bliss is in the waves – waves of Being becoming. This is the seat of supreme Art and Music.”
  • Culture and Religion: “Religion is a safe guide in order to maintain the forward march of the individual to its ultimate level of cosmic structure. Culture – the source of all nourishment – is the source of the path to supreme level of achievement, path to God.”
  • Administration: “I am opening today that mechanics of administration which handles the infinite diversity of the galactic universe to move on and on in perfect order, in perfect unity, for the entire universe to continue evolving.”
  • Economy: “Birth as a human being is good enough to be the master of one’s situations and circumstances. Man is not born to be a slave of anyone. Man is born to be the master of creation.”

A special certificate will be issued for those who complete both parts of the course, and will include 3 official Continuing Education credits.
