Dive inside with Maharishi Purusha in the heavenly Himalayas
For the busy people of the world to go some time there and refresh their soul, refresh their intellect, refresh their mind so that their speech and behavior will be the guiding light for human existence. It’s very beautiful. ‘Himalayas’ means ‘heaven’. —Maharishi
Join Purusha for this rare opportunity to dive deep into the Self at the exquisite Maharishi Vedic Institute campus in Kathmandu, Nepal. Experience the depths of Himalayan purity, Silence, and the Self. This is an adventure not to be missed!
A taste of how it was last year.
Transcend in the Himalayas
Located near Kathmandu, our course facility is nestled in the Himalayan foothills and surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Stunning Himalayan views surround the campus (on a clear day 😊)
The Maharishi Vastu* campus features thirty-five guest rooms, eighteen mandaps (Maharishi Vastu buildings for Yagyas), and residential accommodations for up to 400 Maharishi Vedic Pandits. Additionally, most of the food on campus comes from our own Vedic organic fields, and it is delicious!
The impressive natural surroundings provide ample hiking opportunities including the one-hour hike to Champadevi peak, which is directly behind the campus.
Enrich your experience with live recitations
In addition to experiencing the profound benefits of the Maharishi Purusha Program, you’ll enjoy the rare privilege of live recitations, offered exclusively for our Purusha group by our cherished Maharishi Vedic Pandits. Plus, you’ll benefit from the amplified silence and coherence created by 140 Pandits practicing their TM* and TM-Sidhi program and Rudrabhishek Yagyas for world peace – each and every day.
Peace, purpose, and powerful transformation

A Taste of Purusha course really enhanced my mediation program with deep rest in a scenic, secluded location. The pandit recitations, inspiring knowledge tapes, informed discussions, tasty food and homely atmosphere made this an experience that I didn’t want to end. —Alfie Wellcoat

Purusha is a place where the bliss of Pure Consciousness has been anchored. A place where the experience inside and outside the program is characterized by an unforgettable silence that is so profound that no type of thought or action could possibly dilute it. —Armando Pascacio
