Maharishi Shiksha Sansthan

What Maharishi Shiksha Sansthan does

Maharishi Shiksha Sansthan is a nonprofit educational organisation headquartered in New Delhi, India, operating as the Indian arm of the global Maharishi organisation founded by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It administers a portfolio of consciousness-based educational and spiritual programmes, including the Maharishi Vidya Mandir Schools network (a CBSE-aligned K-12 system active across cities such as Bhopal, Hyderabad, Shoranur, Shahdol, Prayagraj, Guwahati, and Chhatarpur), postgraduate management and computer-applications programmes via the Maharishi Centre for Educational Excellence (MCEE) in Bhopal (affiliated with RGPV), and vocational training through the Maharishi Institute of Skill Development and Training (MISDT). Complementing these are the Maharishi World Peace Movement, RamRaj TV (a dedicated television channel for Vedic principles), Maharishi Ved Vigyan Prakashan (publications), Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University, the Maharishi Vedic Administrators Training Institute, and the Sahasrasheersha Devi Mandal — a female wing of the peace movement working alongside an estimated 5,000 Vedic pundits nationwide.

The organisation's underlying methodology is Maharishi Vedic Science and Technology, a structured knowledge framework that integrates Transcendental Meditation (TM), yoga, and Vedic rituals (yajna) with modern curricula. Its proprietary stack includes the Transcendental Meditation programme, Maharishi Vedic Science and Technology curricula, and the Science of Creative Intelligence — positioned as scientific programmes for holistic development. Day-to-day delivery runs through owned channels: direct-operated schools, on-campus higher education, the TM-Teacher login portal, and RamRaj TV as a media outlet, supported by cultural events, World Peace Assemblies, and seven-day teacher-training programmes.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are inferred to combine school tuition, higher-education fees, vocational course fees, media (RamRaj TV), donations, and event-based contributions, routed through the multiple subsidiary entities. The central headcount is approximately 40 staff at the New Delhi headquarters, with a National Camp Office at MCEE, Lambakheda, Berasia Road, Bhopal. The organisation reports no external institutional investors or PE/VC funding and is led by Chairman Brahmachari Girish Ji, who has received multiple recognitions including the India Pride Award 2025-26 from Dainik Bhaskar.
