The definitive guide to transcendental meditation, from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, guru to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and more**RE-RELEASED IN 2016**In the newly updated printing of this unabridged classic, which has reached millions of readers, Maharishi unfolds his vision for "a new humanity developed in all life's values - physical, mental, material, and spiritual." Soon after Maharishi began his world tours in 1959, his students urged him to commit his great teaching to paper. By 1963 he had completed this fascinating book, which presents what Maharishi calls the Science of Being as the systematic investigation into the ultimate reality of the universe. Like other sciences it begins its investigation from the gross, obvious level of life, and delves more deeply into the subtle levels of the experience of nature. The Science of Being, however, eventually transcends these subtle regions, and reaches the transcendental field of eternal Being. Like other sciences, the Science of Being includes a practical technology — the Transcendental Meditation technique — which is the “technology of consciousness” for directly experiencing the field of Being, the transcendental field of existence, the inner Self of everyone. Through the Transcendental Meditation technique any individual can easily harness the unlimited treasures of this field of Being — infinite happiness, energy, creativity, intelligence, and organizing power — bringing maximum success and fulfillment to daily life. This development of full human potential is elaborated in the second half of the book on the Art of Living.Re-released in 2016, this printing of Science of Being and Art of Living features a comprehensive Afterword by Dr. Bevan Morris, International President of Maharishi Universities of Management, giving a full retrospective on Maharishi's contributions during his more than 50 years of teaching. This book gives an excellent introduction to the Transcendental Meditation technique and explains that the practice of this meditation is learned through personal instruction from a certified teacher.  (Worldwide contact information for certified teachers is provided.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Complete, practical guide to life and living
    Reviewed in India on 18 November 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This book is the classic text by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi laying out the whole knowledge of life and how to realize one's full potential, i.e. gain enlightenment. The knowledge in this book is complete and profound, but it is written in simple, universal language, easy for any layman from any culture to understood. Maharishi means "great teacher." The most important distinction between Maharishi's knowledge and the guidance offered by any other teacher is that Maharishi also provides a simple, natural, practical technique, the Transcendental Meditation technique, to put the knowledge into practice in daily life. This was the first book published by Maharishi and has been continuously in print since the early 60's. It is fortunate that this recently updated paperback version is available.

    Reviewed in the United States on 3 October 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I came away from this book with a much better understanding of Hinduism, TM, and life in general. At times it does read a little bit like an infomercial for TM. But you don't need to pay a small fortune for a, "secret" word to use as a mantra. You can learn the process on your own with the information out there. If you have money to burn I am sure an official course in TM would be quite beneficial though. Anyhow a very readable book which gave me a better understanding of Hinduism, TM, and life in general.

    Reviewed in Italy on 19 March 2016

    Senza offesa nè mancanza di rispetto per i fedeli, ma io considero questo libro un'opera necessaria ed imprescindibile da leggere e conoscere come lo è il Vangelo per i cristiani. Ci sono delle cose che sembrano ovvie ma il tutto è da leggere e capire. Ci sarebbe anche da praticare la meditazione trascendentale che il Maharishi è il fondatore o il divulgatore.
