Scientific Research on the
Maharishi Effect

Research Findings Indicating Increased
Coherence and Harmony Within the Nation:

  • Decreased Crime (20-25)*
  • Decreased Violence (26-28)
  • Improved Economic Trends (23, 24, 29-32)
  • Improved Quality of Life (21, 23, 27, 28, 33)

Studies on the Maharishi Effect repeatedly demonstrate that the rate of crime and violence within society drops significantly immediately after a group of experts in Maharishi's TM-Sidhi Programme exceeding the square root of one per cent of the population is assembled for twice-daily practice. This effect has been demonstrated repeatedly in countries around the world.

Research also shows that during periods in which the number of experts practising Maharishi’s TM-Sidhi Programme is sufficient to create the Maharishi Effect, economic indicators improve, as measured by such variables as reduced inflation and unemployment; and quality of life improves, as measured by overall indices that include many social variables.

For example, a permanent group of Yogic Flyers has been established at Maharishi University of Management in the United States since 1979. During the periods in which the size of this group exceeded the square root of one per cent of the US population, there was a significant improvement in the quality of life of the whole United States as measured by a monthly comprehensive index composed of data on homicides, suicides, motor vehicle fatalities, fatalities due to other accidents, incidence of disease, alcohol consumption, and cigarette consumption (33). (A decrease in these variables has been considered as an improvement in the quality of life). During periods when the size of this group of Yogic Flyers exceeded the square root of one per cent of the combined US and Canadian populations, the same result was found for Canada (27, 28).

All these scientific studies taken together clearly demonstrate that group practice of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, including Yogic Flying, is fully capable of creating coherence in the collective consciousness of the nation through the principle of the Field Effect (See the webpage Scientific Formulas to Create Coherence and Harmony”.).

Furthermore, scientific research verifies that this same technology for creating coherence in collective consciousness can also be successfully applied for peaceful conflict resolution between nations, and to create World Peace.
