Dr Ashley Deans, Ambassador of Consciousness-Based Education for the Global Country of World Peace*, recently toured India and visited several Maharishi Vidya Mandirs*, and also made a fruitful stop at Allahabad University.

'Over 100,000 students are enrolled in the Maharishi Vidya Mandirs,' Dr Deans reports to Global Good News. 'These are private schools throughout India, where students practise Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation, and 30,000 of the students are Yogic Flyers. They are a tremendous source of coherence for India.'

Dr Deans visited the Mandirs in Jabalpur and Allahabad, each with 3,000 to 5,000 students, and commented on the 'neat, orderly, and well-behaved student body'. He also gave a lecture to the parents which was received with great warmth and enthusiasm as he presented the latest international news of Maharishi Vedic Science.

Dr Deans informed the parents of the exciting opportunity for the Yogic Flying boys who graduate from these schools to attend Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, USA; and the opportunity to receive a partial scholarship from M.U.M. and the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace.

While in Allahabad, Dr Deans and Dr John Hagelin* made presentations to the dean and vice chancellor of Allahabad University, who are very keen to implement Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's programmes in the curriculum. (read more)
