Traditionally, education has focused primarily on what the students study — the objective aspect of knowledge (called the
'known'). Education has been a process of filling up the mind with more and more segments of information without enlivening the subjective
basis of learning from within the student (called the 'knower'). Yet it is the quality of the students' awareness, or consciousness
— the basis of their intelligence, creativity, and alertness — that is most important for success and fulfilment in learning.
Education that does not unfold students' full potential and only gives segments of information is baseless,
and is crushing to the unbounded potential of consciousness within every student.
Consciousness-Based Education develops the full potential of the knower, enhances the
process of knowing, and offers Total Knowledge

Truly successful education must enable students to unfold their full creative potential and gain mastery
of Natural Law. The specialty of Consciousness-Based Education offered by Maharishi Open University is delivering the missing element in
education and giving every student Total Knowledge.
The Vedic Technologies of Consciousness used at Maharishi Open University systematically develop students' full potential. Extensive scientific research on Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying shows that the regular
practice of this easily learned programme can significantly improve learning ability and academic performance, improve health and relationships,
and bring a positive influence to the environment.
The curriculum of Maharishi Open University gives Total
Knowledge. By studying every discipline of modern science in the light of Maharishi's Vedic Science, the total intelligence at the basis of every
discipline is known. Simultaneously, students are experiencing this holistic basis of all knowledge, the field of pure intelligence, in their
own consciousness during their daily practice of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme. This process of gaining Total
Knowledge is enriching, satisfying, and rewarding.
Consciousness-Based Education gives students the fruit of all knowledge — the ability to
know anything, do anything, and accomplish anything they want. While education at other universities brings frustration and disappointment,
Consciousness-Based Education prepares students to succeed in any field of activity. When Total Knowledge is enlivened in consciousness, the
basis of success in any field of life is enlivened. This is the specialty of education at Maharishi Open University.
