Overview

Mission

To promote inner development and enlightenment in the individual and to create a peaceful and harmonious influence in the collective consciousness of society through the implementation of the programs of maharishi vedic science and technology, as brought to light by maharishi mahesh yogi. Over 600 peer-reviewed scientific research studies have documented the effects of these programs in both individual and society. We therefore support both individual and group practice of the transcendental meditation and tm-sidhi programs, which enliven the most fundamental and unified level of natural law within everyone and everything to spontaneously uphold and nourish the entire diversity of life. These programs thus produce an influence of increased cooperation, progress, prosperity and fulfillment throughout the family of nations, leading to a more peaceful, harmonious, and happy world.

What it reported doing in 2024

In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, Article 3, Purposes and Objectives, of the organization, and specifically Article 3.A.4, "To establish, administer and support groups of World Peace Professionals practicing the Transcendental Meditation and Transcendental Meditation-Sidhi Programs ("Programs")--particularly the Mother Divine Programs for ladies engaging in those programs-in order to create coherence and harmony in society and peace throughout the world," MDP-MGCWP issued two domestic grants to one organization meeting the above criteria. These donations were given to support both the MGANL [a 501(c)(3) organization] General Fund, which supports the North American Mother Divine Program Coherence Creating Group in Livingston Manor, New York and in Fairfield, Iowa, as well as the MGANL Building Fund, which supports the building of a new vastu home for the North American Mother Divine Program in Livingston Manor, New York.
