Most people probably think of
transcendental meditation as
something that is practiced by
people who wear flowers in their
hair and chant unintelligible
words.
However, TM is practiced by
businessmen, housewives and
college students. More than 2
million

have practiced TM since its introduction
by Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi in 1959.
An introductory lecture, sponsored
by the USC International
Meditation Society, will be offered
to USC students by four executive
governors of the TM program
Wednesday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m.
in room 302 of Russell House.
"THE TM PROGRAM is a very
simple, natural technique. You
practice it 15 to 20 minutes twice a
day," said Mary Maude Darbes, a
teacher of TM.
"TM causes the mind to reach a
more subtle, vague but more
powerful level, according to
Darbes. "Mental activity is
refined. The mind goes inward
until it transcends all mental activity,"
she said.
The mind reaches a state of

sleeping and it relieves deeprooted
stresses and strains, she
said.
THE TM TECHNIQUE is taught
in seven steps. The first three steps
are an introductory lecture, a
preparatory lecture and a fiveminute
talk with a TM instructor.
The following four steps include
the instruction of the technique and
follow-up meetings to answer any
questions, said teacher Colleen
Chatterton.
The course is taught over a
weekend. The course fee is $110
and includes any visits to a TM
center alter completing the
program.
A new advanced course, TMSidhi,
will be offered to persons
who have been practicing TM for
at least six months. Maharishi
introduced the Sidhi program on
the basis of studies released in
1975.
THE STUDIES found when one
percent of a city's population was
using TM, there were significant
decreases in accidents, sickness
and crime. With this, the
Maharishi announced "the

Hie Sidhi program will speed up
the growth of enlightenment, said
Chatterton. It will enable a person
to fulfill any desire he may have
and will increase mind-body
coordination, she said.
jueviiation is a result of mindbody
coordination, she said.
During TM, the brain waves
become more coherent. This
enables the mind to experience
subtler laws of nature than the law
of gravity, according to Chatterton.
"When you develop mind-body
coordination, the mind can have
any intention and the body will
obey," said Chatterton.
This knowledge has always
there, in part, but until the TM
technique was introduced, there
was no method of developing this
knowledge, said Catherine Cole, a
teacher of TM.
THE OBJECT of TM-Sidhi is to
develop universal fulfillment, said

During Maharishi's last visit to
the United States, he visited with a
tnird oi the military leaders of the
U.S. to talk about this, according to
Chatterton.
TM differs from other forms of
self-development because it is "a
totally effortless way for the mind
to transcend," Darbes said.
TM DEVELOPS the entire body
as opposed to yoga which develops
only certain parts of the body, she
said.
