the Himalayas about 14 years ago
by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the
bearded aid moustachioed prophet
who established the Students In
ternational Meditation Society
(SIMS). 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.
The state of Illinois thinks highly
of TM as well.

feasibility of courses in TM for the I
state's public school systems. (
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

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.
Institutions offering courses in
TM or conducting research on the
technique include Duke, Harvard
Medical School and the Stanford
Research Institute.
