HEALTH PRECAUTIONS

If you are feeling ill, we ask that you postpone coming on a course and, instead, arrange to attend one at a later date. All courses will start with a 3-day period of isolation (‘quarantine’) from Purusha. During these 3 days, your Purusha friends will not join you for meals in the WPA Dining Hall. Then on the fourth day, your Purusha friends can join you in your dining hall and on walk and talk..

Enjoy the Unique Environment of the Purusha Capital^SM

The Purusha Capital provides a unique environment conducive to the growth of higher states of consciousness. The deep silence, bliss, and coherence created by the Maharishi Purusha Program, living in Maharishi Vastu^® Architecture buildings, tasty organic food, and being in the fresh mountain air on our 500-acre campus, all contribute to an ideal environment for extended practice of the TM and TM-Sidhi programs. This, along with the sublime knowledge of Maharishi Vedic Science^SM from videos of Maharishi and presentations by leading Maharishi Vedic Science experts, makes for a delightful stay at the Purusha Capital.

Creating Coherence for Washington, D.C. and the World

The establishment of the Purusha Capital near Washington, D.C. constitutes the second element in Maharishi's formula for creating coherence and invincibility in America. A large group of Yogic Flyers in Fairfield, Iowa, and a complementary group practicing Yogic Flying^® near our nation's capital are both key in creating greater harmony and coherence for the government as well as the nation as a whole during this critical time of phase transition in global world consciousness.
