ABOUT THE COURSE

Course for Successful Management is a Maharishi Knowledge Course consisting of 17 recorded lectures by Maharishi.

Across these lectures, Maharishi explores fundamental principles related to successful management and the development of the individual, addressing subjects such as competition, pressure, motivation, communication, decision-making, leadership, responsibility, work, recreation, clear thinking, and the relationship between the individual and the environment.

A central theme throughout the course is the relationship between the development of consciousness and greater effectiveness and fulfillment in activity.

The lectures were originally recorded between 1973 and 1975 and bring together Maharishi’s knowledge from several different talks into one complete course of study.

This offering presents the material in its authorized form as an advanced course for meditators.

Participants enroll with the intention of experiencing the complete 17-lecture course.

HOW THE COURSE IS EXPERIENCED

Maharishi teaches the course through the recorded lectures. Courtney “Ketu” Thomas facilitates the live course experience.

The course contains 17 short recorded lectures by Maharishi totaling approximately 4 hours and 33 minutes, presented across six live Saturday sessions.

I will host each session, orient us within the course, maintain continuity as we move through Maharishi’s lectures, facilitate reflection and discussion, and provide space for Q&A within my role as a certified Transcendental Meditation teacher.

My role is not to replace or reinterpret Maharishi’s teaching. It is to create a structured setting in which we can hear the knowledge as it was presented, reflect on what we are studying, and examine its relevance to work, responsibility, leadership, communication, and daily life.
