Maharashi Effect: Phenomenon in which one percent of a total population practicing transcendental meditation produces measurable improvements in the quality of life for an entire population.
Research Studies[]
Research studies published in multiple scientific journals have shown empirical evidence of the existence of the Maharashi Effect.
Based on the empirical evidence it has been shown that the Maharashi Effect can be used to lower the number of violent crimes in a population as well as the number of war related deaths.
Potential Applications[]
Small groups of TM practitioners could prevent violent crime in their cities.
Larger groups could help prevent violent crime across a nation and potentially prevent war related deaths.
