Duo continues quest to promote Transcendental Meditation
Janine and Richard Robertson
In their continued quest to promote the Transcendental Meditation Technique of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Richard and Janine Robertson, who have been teaching in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe over the last 30 years, are back in Guyana and are geared to offer free public lectures this week.
The husband and wife team has over the last year been re-establishing the programme in Guyana and according to Richard Robertson, lectures commencing at 17:00 hours on Wednesday will be held at the National Library conference room.
He said that Transcendental Meditation develops mental potential and gets rid of accumulated stress improving health, interpersonal relationships and has a very positive effect on the environment.
During their stay in Guyana, the teachers have been speaking to educators on the value of their university system of education called Consciousness-based education.
Richard said that “the fact that psychology says that we only use five to 10 percent of our mental potential does not mean that this cannot be altered.
The Transcendental Meditation Technique has been scientifically proven by more than 600 research studies to develop more of the brain potential and at the same time improves health, well being, and interpersonal relationships and extends its benefits also to the improvement of the environment.”
The couple indicated that the Maharishi University of Management, which could help introduce Consciousness-based education to schools in Guyana, would ensure the full development of the brain potential of students.
Maharishi University of Management (MUM), they said, was founded by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1971 to create enlightenment for every individual and peace for the world.
Its method for accomplishing this is through a system of education, which was introduced to the world by Maharishi and which develops the total potential of every student’s brain, the cosmic creativity latent within every student. This approach to education maximises every aspect of students’ success in personal and professional life.
At the foundation of Consciousness-based education is the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programmes.
More than 600 scientific research studies conducted at more than 200 universities and research institutions in more than 30 countries have shown that these programmes produce unparalleled results in all areas of life, based on developing the latent potentials of the brain.
These results include rapid growth of intelligence and creativity, improved academic performance, and improved health and well-being.
Scientific studies have also shown that when large groups have gathered to practice these programmes, there was a marked increase in global harmony, which immediately declined when the groups dispersed.
