His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi


No list of present-day Avatars and Incarnations would be complete without Maharishi. His homeland is India, the "Land of the Ved", but his focus is global, and so he has been based in the West since 1959. His first base was California, and later Switzerland and then Holland. He has been based in The Netherlands, or Holland, since 1980.

Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation has resulted in breakthroughs for millions of spiritual practitioners around the world. Ever since then, TM has been the gateway into the unbounded, absolute, pure, unmanifest silence of samadhi, nirvana, atma, brahman, transcendental bliss consciousness - what Osho refers to as the "no mind"; what Christians call the Holy Spirit; and physicists call the Unified Field.

Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation technique is recommended for all people, as still to this day, even after reading Osho's criticisms of it, and even after comparing it to countless other approaches, it is still regarded as an aspect of supreme wisdom. It is still one of the finest, most exalted, most easy, most effortless, royal, immediate, universally effective, and potent forms of spiritual practice. Even Avatar Ammachi has recommended Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation, which is rare for other Masters.

Even though Maharishi's movement is not physically headquartered in India, he still has a spiritual base and a strong consciousness presence there. He has many hundreds of meditation centers in India, including a famous ashram near Rishikesh, and in the sacred Valley of the Saints - Uttar Kashi - in the Himalayas.

His worldwide movement is at once one of the most highly enlightened of any Master or Incarnation, while at the same time is also one of the wealthiest in financial resources. This being the case, there is no one web site that contains everything his movement is about. There are literally hundreds of web sites covering every imaginable application of Vedic Science and human life.

Thus the best place to start for information is Enlightenment Magazine, whose "Resource" page on the inside front cover lists about 40 or 50 of the main branches of the movement and their web sites and contact details.
