In April 1955, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi embarks on a journey from the Himalayas to share the ancient Vedic knowledge of meditation, traditionally reserved for a select few. He introduces a technique that allows individuals to effortlessly explore their consciousness, uncovering their true Self and the essence of creation. This revival transforms the perception of meditation from a challenging practice to an accessible means of inner exploration for people around the world.
In this landmark book, the world-renowned teacher Maharishi Mahesh Yogi unfolds his vision for bringing life to fulfillment through a simple, effortless technique that can be practiced by anyone. Transcendental Meditation is practiced by 1.5 million people in North America.
Maharishi calls the Bhagavad -- Gita the essence of Vedic literature and a complete guide to practical life. Its purpose he says "is to explain in theory and practice all that is needed to raise the consciousness of man to the highest possible level".
