Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who developed the
Transcendental Meditation technique, has founded schools, colleges, universities, health-care facilities, Peace Palaces, and Invincibility centers.

Swami Brahmananda Saraswati [2], who, from 1941 to 1953, was the Shankaracharya (spiritual leader) of Jyotir Math, located in the Indian Himalayas. Maharishi credits the Shankaracharya with inspiring his teachings. Since his first global tour in 1958, Maharishi's techniques for human development have been taught to millions of people around the world.

Vedic Literature. Since 1990, Maharishi has coordinated his global activities from his residence in the town of
