MMYVV has large Vastu-built, peaceful campuses at the following locations: the State capital Bhopal, the business city Indore, and Jabalpur, famous for its marble rocks, on the bank of the holy Narmada River.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya (MMYVV) is the university of the pure and applied knowledge of Veda which has been brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as Vedic Science and Technology.
Established in 1995 by a unanimous Act of the Legislative Assembly of Madhya Pradesh and recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC), MMYVV has been founded to introduce enlightenment on all levels of education and to create purity in collective consciousness. This Act of the Government of Madhya Pradesh is the fulfilment of the thousands-of-years-old world-wide search for a perfect system of education to develop a complete man—a man who has the ability to utilise all the laws of Nature and win the support of the infinite organising power of Natural Law—a fully educated man living Heaven on Earth.
MMYVV was inaugurated on 3 October '95, Vijayadashmi Day, by the Honourable Digvijay Singh, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and the Honourable Mukesh Nayak, Minister of Higher Education, Sports & Youth Welfare (Independent Charge), in the presence of dignitaries and special guests from Japan, USA, Holland, Germany and many parts of India.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya offers courses from Parichaya to Vidya Varadhi levels in Vedic disciplines, and diploma and degree courses in management and vocational education. Now entering its third academic session, MMYVV presently has over 1500 students enrolled at 77 campuses in 45 districts throughout Madhya Pradesh. The main campus is being constructed in the centre of India, the Brahma-Sthan of Ved Bhumi, near Jabalpur.
MMYVV integrates the objective approach of modern science with the subjective approach of Maharishi's Vedic Science to unfold the creative genius of every student, raise individual life and society out of problems, and bring perfection to personal and professional life.
At all educational levels of MMYVV, one period per day is dedicated to the study of Maharishi's Vedic Science and Technology. In addition, every discipline is taught in the light of Maharishi's Vedic Science—the Science of Consciousness, the source of all disciplines of modern education. By offering Maharishi's Vedic Science-Based System of Education—Consciousness-Based Education—MMYVV brings fulfilment to the unfulfilled objective approach of Science, Arts, and Commerce.
At Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic Vishwavidyalaya all students practice Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation to experience Samadhi, the state of self-referral consciousness, pure consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness. This experience has been shown, by over 600 scientific research studies in over 200 universities in 30 countries, to mobilise the hidden reserves of brain potential; to increase intelligence; to increase creativity; to improve academic performance; to increase moral reasoning; to increase field independence; and to develop the overall cognitive state of the student—self-actualization, or enlightenment.
Another important aspect of MMYVV is that the language of instruction is the Mother Tongue of the students. This allows for greater and deeper assimilation of knowledge.
MMYVV is dedicated to bringing Enlightenment—per-fection in daily life—to all people. For this, higher education will be made available to all through the establishment of colleges and schools of MMYVV in the villages and panchayats of every district.
In addition to its own campuses, MMYVV invites all educational institutions in the state to open study centres in collaboration with MMYVV to offer this beautiful knowledge in every community. 'My Vedic University will fulfil all the noble expectations and sublime hopes of the Government of Madhya Pradesh for an ideal system of education.
'My Vedic Science and Technology, the Science and Technology of Consciousness, will create enlightened Madhya Pradesh—healthy, happy, prosperous, progressive Madhya Pradesh. Peace and harmony will radiate from the centre of India, the Brahma-Sthan of the Land of the Veda; pure knowledge will purify the world from the centre of India—Deva Bhumi, Purna Bhumi Bharat.' —Maharishi.
