About the Maharishi Purusha program 

 
The happiest times of my life were always during a TM retreat, and Purusha is the ultimate never-ending TM retreat. —Joseph Peacock

What does ‘Purusha’ mean?

Purusha is an ancient Sanskrit term that means ‘pure consciousness’ – the source of thought – that inner silence we experience when we transcend during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. 

What is the Maharishi Purusha program?

The Maharishi Purusha program was created 40 years ago by the founder of the TM technique, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to provide an in-residence course for men wishing to deepen their experience of the TM-Sidhi program and unleash their full potential.

Presently Maharishi Purusha is bringing the benefits of the Maharishi Purusha program to a new generation of men wishing to fast-track their personal growth and development.

 
The profession of Purusha is an all-time enjoyment of bliss, freedom, self-sufficiency. —Maharishi —Maharishi
