Maharishi Vidya Mandir, established in 1997, is the manifestation of His Holiness Maharishiji’s vision. He had envisaged consciousness based education to enlighten children, not only to impart education to them, but also to enlighten and guide them to the path of awareness and self awakening. Over the years, the institution has grown and unfolded its wings far and wide, thereby inspiring and encouraging many children to be an integral part of its novel and noble mission. Alongside the implementation of scientific methodology, regular practice of Transcendental Meditation is a significant part of Maharishi Vidya Mandir fraternity.
