"The constitution of every country presents legal systems of performance. It sets standards and programs for everyone and every group, and also lays out standards for the performance of government.

• Celebrating Perfection in Administration: Creating Invincible India (1998)
  Celebrating Perfection in Administration celebrates the establishment of a new political party in India-the Ajeya Bharat Party-which has its sovereignty in the domain of consciousness, its authority in the invincible organizing power of Natural Law, and the ability to nourish all life everywhere.

• Celebrating Perfection in Education: Dawn of Total Knowledge (1997)
  The field of Total Knowledge at the basis of all disciplines is the foundation for celebrating the availability of Total Knowledge for every student in every university throughout the world. Celebrating Perfection in Education: Dawn of Total Knowledge offers the formula for providing ideal education to every student, for changing the old concept of university education from 'all knowledge in one campus' to 'all knowledge in one brain', and for delivering the fruit of all knowledge, the ability to live a mistake-free life in perfect accord with all the Laws of Nature.

These main points are from Maharishi's lectures to students around the world from 1970 to 1986.

• Maharishi Forum of Natural Law and National Law for Doctors: Perfect Health for Everyone -- Disease-Free Society (1995)
  Maharishi Forum of Natural Law and National Law for Doctors introduces a prevention-oriented, comprehensive Natural Law-based, all enriching system of perfect health.
  
  The centuries-old medicine-predominated approach to health has failed to eliminate sickness and suffering; this is because medicine alone is too superficial to influence all the innumerable values that constitute the structure of life and its evolution. Only a holistic approach that takes into consideration all aspects of mind and body together can be successful in handling health.

• Maharishi University of Management: Wholeness on the Move (1995)
  Maharishi introduces the concept of 'Automation in Administration' through the application of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law in every area of management. Those managers who master the principles in this book "will command authority in the field of progress." Topics include Maharishi Master Management(sm), Timely Management(sm), and Natural Law, Cosmic Manager of the Universe.

• Maharishi's Absolute Theory of Defense: Sovereignty in Invincibility (1995)
  Principles of invincibility from the perspective of modern science provide a scientific understanding of how the growth of coherence in individual and collective consciousness gives rise to national invincibility.
  
  Military is purposeful only if it has the indomitable power of invincibility, with the natural ability to prevent the birth of an enemy. Maharishi's Absolute Theory of Defense offers this indomitable strength of invincibility to the military of every nation. The formula is to bring military power in alliance with the invincible organizing power of Natural Law, that organizing power of Nature which spontaneously provides safety and security to the Government of the Universe and eternally defends the sovereign domain of every galaxy and solar system in the ever-expanding universe.
  
  Maharishi's program to create a prevention wing  in every military offers 'victory before war'; it promises life in freedom to every individual, an invincible armor of defense for every nation, and for the whole family of nations-a permanent state of world peace.

• Maharishi's Absolute Theory of Government: Automation in Administration (1995)
  Now that the technology to enliven absolute administration on the individual and collective levels of consciousness is completely available through Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation® and and TM-Sidhi Programme, it is possible to establish the perfect, ideal system of administration on every level-family, community, city, state, nation, and the whole world-and create administration on a par with the perfect administration of the universe.

• A Wave On the Ocean: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Transcendental Meditation, Mallory & Me (2006) by Jon Michael Miller
  Jon Michael Miller was a superstar in the TM Movement at the height of its popularity in the seventies. It attracted celebrities such as the Beatles, Clint Eastwood, Jim Hensen, and the Beach Boys. Miller's memoir traces his spiritual development as it evolved in a complicated love affair with a beautiful, enigmatic woman. It explores his childhood, his youth, and his intellectual progress. He was a devotee of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and of his teachings as he searched for answers to the difficult questions of love and betrayal in his life. The answers he found have sustained him. This is his story.

• The Maharishi Effect (2006) by Geoff Gilpin
  This penetrating literary-journalistic memoir depicts the clash between promise and reality within the movement that virtually defined alternative spirituality in America: Transcendental Meditation® and its iconic guru, the Maharishi.
  
  Like hundreds of thousands of young people, Geoff Gilpin entered the Transcendental Meditation® movement in the early seventies, when its guru, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was fresh in the public mind as the spiritual guide to the Beatles and the man who made "meditation" a household word. The movement's Iowa campus was a center of spiritual idealism and healthy living.
  
  Gilpin left after five years, settling into a successful career in the software business. Two decades later, wistful over the past and concerned by the increasingly harsh tone of the Maharishi's public pronouncements, Gilpin decided to return and find out what had become of the spiritual community of his youth.
  
  His move back to Fairfield, Iowa, proved both revealing and unsettling. He rediscovered what had drawn his generation to Eastern spirituality - and what he and his cohorts had lost in following the usual path to careerism. But he also experienced disturbing changes in a spiritual organization that - while attracting money, celebrity, and clout - had seemingly drifted from its early ideals. Its inner culture, Gilpin observed, had divided into haves and have-nots, in ways both subtle and obvious. The Maharishi - believed to be in his late eighties or early nineties and now living in Holland - was promoting projects that involved global government, third-world rulers, claims of levitation, and grandiose fund-raising campaigns.
  
  The Maharishi Effect is one man's bittersweet chronicle of innocence found and lost in the movement that, more than any other, defined spirituality for a generation.

• With the Beatles (2005) by Lewis H. Lapham
  It was the ultimate 1960s scene: the ashram in Rishikesh, India, where the Beatles, Donovan, Mia Farrow, a stray Beach Boy, and other 1960s icons gathered along the shores of the Ganges-amidst paisley and incense and flowers and guitars-to meditate at the feet of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The February 1968 gathering received such frenzied, worldwide attention that it is still considered a significant, early encounter between Western pop culture and the mystical East.
  
  But what went on inside the compound has long been the subject of wild speculation and rampant rumor. The Beatles, for example, have said they wrote some of their greatest songs there . . . and yet they also came away bitterly disillusioned.
  
  While dozens of reporters from around the world flew to the remote location to camp out at the entrance of the retreat, only one journalist was allowed inside: Lewis Lapham, now the esteemed editor of Harper's Magazine, then a reporter for The Saturday Evening Post, who was seen-along with Tom Wolfe-as one of the progenitors of the hip "New Journalism."
  
  Lapham's wry take on what he found inside the ashram won acclaim at the time, but here he includes some surprising material he's never written about before-from hysterically funny descriptions of the Maharishi's daily press conferences, to the high style demands of certain stars upon the hapless local tailor, to impromptu jam sessions and the true story behind the scandal that drove the Beatles out of Rishikesh and led to Lapham's eight-hour cab ride with Ringo Starr.
  
  In Lapham's deft and vivid prose, With the Beatles is an exhilarating and surprisingly intimate look at one of the pivotal moments of pop culture and some of its leading figures.

• Victory Before War: Preventing Terrorism Through the Vegic Peace Technologies of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (2005) by Jay B. Marcus and Robert Keith
  This book describes the world's most ancient homeland defense from the Vedic tradition of India (the source of Yoga). This secret knowledge of the Himalayas has been revived by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This is not merely a theoretical approach. Numerous small-scale studies show these technologies of consciousness can provide a shield of protection against violence and terrorist acts.
