Once the Maharishi learned TM he decided it could be of benefit to the entire world. By his reckoning, the method has enough inner peace so that if only one per cent of the world population were to follow his ways there would be world peace. Skeptical? Hold onto your hat. Here are some of the current figures being bandied about by TM promoters. -Today, there are over 300,000 meditators in the United States alone. Worldwide, SIMS authorities estimate over half a million practioners. -In the United States, where growth of TM is greatest because of the large amount of research being done, some 12,000 new followers begin meditating each month. -In 93 other countries around the world, people are meditating in same style and tradition. -Currently, some 350 centers exist world-wide for the purpose of teaching TM. -TM is being taught at some 450 colleges and universities in the United States alone. That's not all. In Eastchester, N.Y., school authorities found that instruction of TM in the public schools resulted in improved student grades, better in terpersonal relations with parents and teachers, and decreased use of drugs.

( In addition, penal institutions 2 around the nation are beginning to experiment with TM to see if it can be used to relieve tensions and cut back on drug abuse. The military has its eye on the method too, possibly with the idea that TM can serve -as an effective antidot a to drug abuse among Maharishi Mahesh Yogi soldiers. In the Columbia area, Vollmer and Kraeiger estimate some 125 meditators, 50-75 of which are university students. Enough research has been conducted on TM at major universities and research centers across the country to make believers out of would be skeptics of the Maharishi's claims. Results of studies conducted have appeared in such respected scientific journals as journal of the American Medical Association, Scientific American and Today's Health, to mention a few.
