World Peace Assemblies
The curriculum at Maharishi University of Management includes regular world peace assemblies that the entire student body and the community participate in. This has been the tradition at the University since it was founded 30 years ago. Several hundred people gather to meditate twice a day for an extended time. This creates what is known as the "Maharishi Effect", causing waves of peace to ripple throughout society. It's the most important thing we can do for peace.
