"Maharishi has explained that the value of all religious holidays, rituals, and prayers is to help us align our intelligence with the Cosmic Intelligence that governs everything in the universe with perfect order," says Dr. Evan Finkelstein, professor of Maharishi Vedic Science at Maharishi University of Management (M.U.M.). Dr. Finkelstein has been reading the scriptures of different religions for 37 years. As Maharishi wrote in Science of Being and Art of Living, "All the rituals of the various religions are like the body, and the practice of Transcendental Meditation is like the spirit. Both are necessary, they should go hand in hand." (p. 251). In addition, Maharishi, the founder of the TM technique, has explained that for religious people, the experience of the source of thought or 'pure consciousness', will result in a stronger appreciation of their religion and a deeper understanding of their scriptures and the scriptures of all religions. They will begin to experience the Unity that harmonizes all the differences and this will result in peace and fulfillment. Rabbi Alan Green of Beth Israel Synagogue in Winnipeg, Manito says that "Transcendental Meditation has made me a better rabbi because it has given me an experience and insight into the profound depths of life." The Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) is an effortless mental procedure whereby an individual experiences increasingly quieter levels of thinking and then the source of thought, deep within the mind. To accomplish this TM utilizes a thought or mantra that has a sound quality but has no meaning attributed to it. To allow the mind to sink to deeper levels of thinking and experience; the silent source of thought within, the TM technique utilizes a harmonious sound or mantra which is selected by each TM teacher based on its suitability for each TM student. The TM technique comes from the Vedic Tradition. This ancient Vedic tradition has its origin in India and is the oldest continuous tradition of knowledge on earth. In 2003 it was recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of heritage to humanity. It is a universal body of complete and timeless knowledge encompassing the total field of natural law (underlying intelligence) that governs the entire universe. For this reason there are many names, traditions and principals of the ancient Vedic tradition found in various countries, cultures and religions around the world. The TM technique is derived from the Vedic tradition of ancient India. This technique, over thousands of years, had become distorted and lost its effectiveness. It was then revived in the 1950's, to its original and highly effective form, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who is the custodian and representative of the Vedic tradition in our generation. *Transcendental Meditation and TM registered or common law trademarks of Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation
