Course Description
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 first six areas covered, which will be covered in this course:
- Education: “Our desire is to bring the lost value of knowledge back to practical experience. The state of Being is not available on the level of thinking…. Individual brain physiology has the competence of functioning consciously on that level…”
- Health: “When we think of health, we go to where it is completely expressed, and then we can pinpoint it, we can hold it, we can see it, we can hear it, we can touch it.”
- Agriculture: “Agriculture is a devout study of the Transcendental Reality: Brahm. It is beyond space and time. The field and the crop—they do not seem to be beyond space and time, but they are in reality the subjectivity beyond space and time…”
- Architecture: “We master Vedic Architecture from the field of Veda itself. And total Veda is available at the source of the stream of all knowledge of the Veda – ‘A.’”
- Science and Technology: “Fulfillment of a desire is a very tiny thing from that level where the enormous diversity of creation is emerging. In any field where a man will work, he will fulfill his desire. And more than that, he can take the desire of someone else to be his desire, and he can fulfill that. This is Vedic Science and Technology.”
- Invincible Defense: “The abstract will of Almighty God has been made concrete by that power which we call “almighty power,” and Invincible Defense belongs to this level of almighty power.”
This is the first part of a two-part course. In the second part, the areas discussed will be: trade, commerce, and communication; law and order; art and music; culture and religion; administration; and economy. A special certificate will be issued for those who complete both parts of the course, and will include 3 official Continuing Education credits.

“I could not say whether it is the content of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge course(s) presented by Raja Peter or the contentless silence of the group meditations at their conclusion that are most precious. Certainly it is the samhita of the two from which the magic of knowledge flows. I cherish the opportunity to join in the collective consciousness of this very blessed group of people – my much beloved family.” —Leon
“This course allows one to understand the origin and meaning of Life.” —CC
“Exploration and explanation of the mechanics of life and creation.” —LDL
“If you’ve ever wondered how everything comes into being, how creation unfolds, where God is, where you are in the process, this is the course for you! Why so many seemingly diverse areas of the Veda? Where did it come from? How can I be sure it’s true? Tune in to this course for the answers! I love the group energy and the style of teaching. Thoroughly enjoyable!” —TL
“In this course Maharishi expounds with great clarity and detail the process of the manifestation of the material world from the absolute ocean of Pure Consciousness which is the Veda and which resides within each of us. Raja Peter further enhances Maharishi’s knowledge by playing Vedic recitation in each session, with clarifying explanations of the knowledge, delightful stories, and by answering course participants’ questions. As the knowledge unfolds, so does the expansion of one’s own consciousness, with perceptible changes lesson by lesson. This course is a remarkable and wondrous experience! Don’t miss it!” —Penelope

“This course is like the spinal column of Maharishi’s teaching. I think no one should miss it! Maharishi must have cultured Raja Peter for those 36 years for our benefit! The result is that we are guided through the investigation of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge from so many different angles in different courses, but all with the same steady hand and twinkling bliss.” —VM
“I finally understand that Time is Life. Our role is to just fully experience our Being, by realizing that we are It. This is It. Rishi, Devata, Chandas in my own person, and every where else. It just varies by degrees of one’s consciousness.” —LM
