HEALTH - Transcendental Meditation can heal
28-Aug-2008

RETIRED high school teacher Hassan Ali, 63, of Lautoka has mastered the age-old vedic technique of Transcendental Meditation which has proven to be a unique method of creating a better person and society at large.

‘TM’, as it is commonly described by its Western followers was introduced to the world by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of India and a total of 600 scientific researches have since been carried out in 200 universities and research institutions around 32 countries to prove its authenticity. Maharishi Mahesh opened the gateway of enlightenment to millions of people and his influence is now bringing the untapped knowledge of Natural Law to the field of health to create a disease-free society.

SHALENDRA PRASAD of Fiji Daily Post west office talks to Master Hassan about TM and its benefits.

FDP: What is Transcendental Meditation or TM as the western followers call it?

Master: Transcendental Meditation is a very simple, natural, scientific, systematic, effortless mental technique which is very easy to do and easy to learn which is practised twice daily sitting easily with eyes closed. So what happens during TM is that the activity of the mind settles down and when this happens the minds get into the character of unlimited or unbounded awareness like the wave of the ocean which settles down calmly. TM creates this consciousness which is the fourth state of human awareness.

FDP: Where has this technique of TM originated from?

Master: This technique comes from the age-old vedic tradition of the masters of India and the most recent custodian of TM was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who is the founder of the TM programme. I would like to emphasise that TM is not a religious practice, it is only a technique to better the lives of people by reducing stress, anxiety, nervousness and to create a better human being and as a result when human beings are better, then the society becomes better and this can have an effect on the good function of a nation and its government. The effects of people practising this meditation will have a wider implication like I said governments starts to do better very systematically,automatically and easily and society becomes better because there is more unity, harmony, coherence and as a result of that there will be less problems. Even crimes rates will drop when you have a big group of people performing TM. A hundred people (one square root of the entire population) doing more advanced method of TM will be able to create harmony throughout the society. It has a field effect and it affects other people and eventually lowers all the stress, tension and crime rates, violence and negativity of all sorts to make life easier and longer as well. Stress seems to increase the aging process while the TM technique reverses that process and you look younger by the day.

FDP: How were you introduced to TM?

Master: As a child I had a search, I thought life should be much better than what it is. There was something missing in life, I did not quite know what it was but there was a general feeling on emptiness and I was feeling under weight and I was looking for something to improve myself. As a result I kept on searching for knowledge and it was not until when I went to New Zealand that I came across some organisations that taught TM and I was lucky to have received the technique in Wellington in 1964 but I did not start consistent practice until 1966 and the teaching side began in 1987. I started teaching TM on a part time basis because I had a job and after retirement I started promoting TM of a full time basis.

FDP: So what are the recent activities for promoting TM?

Master: Well I have recently started visiting schools and meeting with teachers and students and explaining the benefits of TM and it will be really interesting to see which school takes up this first and we will be able to eventually create that big group of people practicing TM to create coherence for the whole nation to bring more harmony in the society.

FDP: How about enhancing sporting events?

Master: Yes definitely…our national rugby side had performed exceptionally well in the last Rugby World Cup and I strongly believe that TM will create wonders for Fiji in national outings. The boys are physically strong and only if we can prepare them mentally as well via TM, the results will speak for itself. There are so many national sporting teams around the world who have been practicing TM and creating wonders for their countries. I have already approached the Fiji Rugby Union via a letter recently and am kindly waiting for a response from their camp. TM could be our answer to becoming world champs in fifteens in the future.

FDP: Is there anything else you would like to say?

Master: It is very important to do the TM technique because it is something to do with yourself and people should learn very quickly and it will make their lives better. You’ll feel good throughout the day and feel more efficient as a result and your work will be more stable and you will definitely have more energy to do the work while taking more interest in what you do at the same time. Life soon becomes more enjoyable because at the moment we are not using the higher states of consciousness through meditation. Through TM you begin to rise to higher states of consciousness. Right now it’s just waking, sleeping and dreaming which are three states of consciousness so when you meditate you get the fourth one which is transcendental consciousness and you feel life getting better. This is one reason why we should get into TM because we have this big gift of nature we are born with inside us, deep within us. We are born with an infinite reservoir of creativity and total knowledge we can all get just by accessing meditation which is very easy to do.
TM is also an answer to curb poverty which is due to lack of creativity and if we can teach people to be more creative, it has the power to improve their lives and there is no reason why people cannot be affluent and stable. TM will also create good health therefore reducing your medical bills and there will be more saving for people.
