I never met you but you came into my life...it must have been destiny. I am so glad and happy now... where before I was lost. You saved my life Maharishi. I trusted you, read your books, attended the First World Peace Conference in Massachusetts, and it all paid off as you said it would. I want to thank you so much for deciding to spread TM throughout the world. As you would have liked to have heard it...Jai Guru Dev!

In my hometown Stockholm, Sweden, I was 14, I was with the crowd waiting for you in the school's auditorium. Then you came down the aisle. I was surprised how short you were. That whole experience of seeing you walking down the aisle and hearing you talk... so easy for me then to know "this is it." I learned TM two months later. In Oslo, Norway, during vacation from MIU, Fairfield, some time in my 20's, I held up a rose, as you received it, you so gently touched my left hand - it was just like a gentle breeze. - My hand is blessed. And then there was the time at MIU. You came to us there. - Thank you..... ... What have I received from all these years of having a connection with you? - Many things. In this moment what strikes my mind is: I've met a person who so completely thinks for himself, i.e., someone whose Self is so alive in his actions and words. That's just one quality. But that one quality I've come to value so deeply in life; to live who we are deep within, in words and actions. It is to actualize,... to become,... to be enlightened. It is to transparently show who we are. This also makes for intimacy, connection with others. The two go hand in hand. Dear Maharishi, I am committed to actualizing, to enlighten. - Thank you for this gift. I do deeply miss you. Your passing away brought me tears and warmth. But foremost, it made me stop and it brought silence! I am 50 now. I'm at such peace with your passing away, and I think this is because you awakened this important value in me to actualize me. And as I do discover and live me, I find you there. Thank you for your eternal company. I hope I can be of good service to our world. You inspire me. - Henry Ahlstrom

Those were very special moments of my life,turnig point of my spiritual journey............... i witness the last journey of maharshiji on 11 feb 2008,at Arel ashram-Alahabad-india. paying my last tribute to him.

40 years later the and gifts received through intitiation & teacher training, that simplist of practices keeps on giving.

Gentle demeanor, soft spoken, humble and wise...that is our Maharishi

Something Special is About to Happen

It was Maharishi's stories about his personal relationship with his Master that spawned a deep longing in my heart to one day serve and be close to a living Master. It was not possible with Maharishi...I mean to get so close...yet I never dreamed that one day I would actually fulfill that desire in my heart. Then one day at Maharishi International University in Iowa...a teacher of TM came to rent a room in our mobile home on campus. He had just returned from India and from meeting Mata Amritananda Mayi Devi or "Amma". Well, in three months I was living at Her ashram in Kerala, India and experiencing what it meant to be "serving at the lotus feet of a living Master". Maharishi used to tell us that in his earlier days with Guru Dev...he would simply "bask in Guru Dev's divine presence". I came to quickly appreciate those words...and am forever grateful that the long held egoism of selfishness is gradually being shed by Her grace. Jai Guru Dev, Maharishi...and Jai Guru Devi...Amma

I never met u but u have great influence on my life.u just changed my way of looking at life.you were The Greatest living person of my era.Jai gurudev.

I loved your wonderful one-liners. "When a pickpocket looks at a saint, he sees only his pockets--and I have no pockets!" On the sexes: "One is the mother, the other is the child." On sex--"Frankly, this has not been my field" On celibacy: "If a man keeps saving the money and saving the money, he gets wealthy. If he keeps spending and keeps spending, he gets spent." On childlren: "It is very good for a child to be mischievous. He will grow up very mature." On child rearing: "It may be necessary to discipline a child, but it is not necessary to be angry on him." Most important: The moment I first beheld him, any ideas I had about human limitations dissolved. They have never returned.

On staff at the Manor-you were there -and said "The satvva is rising", I will never forget running doen the stairs to see you in the lecture hall, and running right into you on the stair landing-your eyes wide open-looked at me and smiled-and I saw The Divine. Your are with me forever and a day-the true Love of of my life-Jai Guru Dev-never leave us...

Your smile, laughter, and wisdom will live on in my heart. Your gifts of meditation and your revival of the vedic tradition are blessings to the world for all time. Thank you

Thank you so very much for all that you have done for me and the world. You are truly one of the very best persons that I have encountered in my life. I cannot fathom what my life would have been if not for your enlightened soul and my starting the TM technique and the TM Sidhi program. I am one of a few of your teachers and I will do everything that I can to perpetuate your memory in the highest form. Enjoy infinity and please be assured that my love for you extends throughout time.

Grateful memories By Linda Wittine TM suddenly became available to me at a point in my life when I most needed it in 1972. It proved to be a real blessing and added so much to my growth towards enlightenment. All honor and thanks to Maharishi.

Thank you Maharishi for teaching me to meditate and discover the happiness within. I am forever grateful to you for your love and wisdom always.

Thank You Master for the wonderful gift of Wisdom and Love that transformed lives of millions!

Thank You Maharishi--Your wisdom came to me at a point in my life where I was at a crossroads--it gave me new found purpose, direction, and a deeper understanding for interconnectedness...i am eternally greatful...as well as, a much richer person for knowing you. My heart feels both tremendous joy and sadness...

always remember your beautiful smile.

Thank you Maharishi for a lifetime of explorinig the depth and beauty of consciousness and offering a vision of divine possibilities beyond suffering. Love and peace always

Maine coarse, up stairs with Sachanon, Maharishi came out of the bathroom and saw me starring. He said " what, you didn't think I go to the bathroom ? " Lifting off in Spain and when that one guy had an epileptic fit and set hundreds more people off into fits When my dog Govender died, his genteelness The picket fence in front of the Cambridge center My apology to anyone that I hurt in any way, you know who you are, please forgive me.

Maharishi is a great inspiration to me. His kindness, his wisdom and his perserance are unparalleled. His sharing of useful techniques that have greatly helped humanity is wonderful and I am proud to continue wave of positivity. David Stevens

For your Transcendental Meditation, for your TM-Sidhi Program, for your Yogic Flying, for your Vedic Astrology, for your Vedic Architecture, for your Gandharva Music. For all your practical knowledge. Thanks for to bring the world at thee door of peace.

Gracias por las mas grande herramienta de cura del alma, y tranquilidad de la conciencia, la MT y el Vuelo Yoga sin tu contribucion no serian tan grande como lo son ahora, gracias por contribuir con tus conocimeintos a la paz personal y mundial

I am a TM-meditator since November 1985 and although I acquainted with other paths like Zen and Vipassana, I always returned to TM. I never went through to the TM-sidhi because of the huge cost and because I don't need to fly :-), but the sole basic technique saved my life from dogmatism. I am so grateful and wondering that MMY could do this for me without meeting me live. One correction: it is not true that TM uses chanting! This technique is much more subtle. One fear: I fear that TM instruction will no longer exist after about 6 years, because of the always rising huge cost of the courses and the huge cost of this gigantic structure of buildings all over the world compared to the scary world situation we're in.

I am a Transcendental Meditator since 2005 March.After that I joined in Siddhi Programme and I am doing it twice a day.These programmes are really good and changed my life in many ways.

I've been a dedicated TM Sidhi since 1993, flying solo for many years, but always flying twice a day. Our life paths never physically crossed, but Maharishi has and will always be a part of reason for the peace and compassion I share with others. So much has happened to many of those who were in my life when I completed the TM-Sidhi and I pray that we use this time to mend relationships so that all of us can continue spreading the good news about the need for us to ensure world peace through meditation. Peace and Blessings! Ernest H. johnson, Ph.D

It was just a few weeks ago that I was, after meditaion, feeling such deep deep love and thankfulness for the precious knowledge Maharishi and Guru Dev brought us. Now I find that we have lost our dear teacher. God speed to you Great Master. I know it doesn't matter you are not, in body, with us. But it hurts deeply to know you are gone. I love you my Saint, my Guru. Jai Guru Dev forever. Dan Schafer

When, in 1975 He told me, "YOU have enough, now share Our great knowledge with the world" I realized how selfless a master we had.

Thank you for opening the big door in my life and for closing the small ones

Thanks Maharishi for getting me to Fairfield and meeting some of the greatest peple in the world! Peace, Bill Forrest

You started my journey into spirituality 31 yeras ago. Forever remembered. Jai Guru dev

"Since 1975 my life has been filled with the Bliss you offered all and taight me that Silence is the sound of His Presence. God's Blessings envelop YOU!!!

You have guided me in my youth and remained with me as an adult.To be brought up with the guidance to life from so far away.I am always with you. Doing meditation and having fun on courses making friends and singing songs will remain in my memory.Thanks Maharishi for making a major part of my life.

"When the Heart is Full, Words Are Few." - Maharishi Jai Guru Dev

Dear Master....I haven't meditated in years but the mantra comes to me when I need it. I will start meditating again. I also gave you a flower a long time ago in Manhattan and remember sighing for a long time afterwards. I feel you around me now and dare to say I love you.

i will forever remember your wonderful presence, ur eyes, as u looked at me and took a flower. It was Kennedy airport and I was teenager. You touched my life.. as u did for so many others .. and u will always be with us.. ur spirit lives on within all of us .. jai guru dev...

Many thanks for the most subtle yet most powerful gift this world may ever know. Your simple guidance to the inner path is too brilliant to comprehend fully and unfolds greater radiance and joy with each subsequent experience. My journey is filled with the deepest gratitude for the profound beacon that illuminates the path each day. Jai Guru Dev.... DT

I learned TM 31 years ago. I wasn't sure I wanted to meditate but it was a requirement for another course I was taking and I wanted to continue so I learned. I closed my eyes and after 20 minutes (which seemed like a second) I was told to open my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw that the light had changed in the room and my thought was that my life would never be the same again. With great love and respect and thanks for changing the course of human events I can only say JAI GURU DEV

I was lucky enough to see and hear Maharishi lecture at Town Hall in New York City in the early 70's. I went with my sister and at the end of the lecture I got in line with many others to offer a flower. I cannot discribe the experience but I can see and feel the light, now, thinking back on the moment my turn came to give my flower to Him. Jai Guru Dev

many see this as the end of the road...when in truth it is the very beginning of the great era of light that is coming to the world,,,,thank you for your tireless giving...

My Dearest Master of my heart~ You are my every breath. You are my every thought. You are all that I hope to become. Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for all the pure knowledge that continues to guide myself and others. For all that you have give to me, I humbly bow at your lotus feet and say... Jai Guru Dev Jai Guru Dev Jai Guru Dev Jai Guru Dev Jai Guru Dev
