Maharishi International University

For 2 years and 10 months, Ukraine has been engulfed in a war that cast a bleak veil of chaos, fear, and terror over the civilians of the region. From the very first day of the war, Ukraine's teachers of Transcendental Meditation (TM), have been committed to supporting their people and especially the women of Ukraine who are now the backbone of society. Women must maintain their vitality in mind and body—more than ever the need for resilience and inner calm is crucial while the strain of war continues.

The practice of TM offers a lifeline by managing stress, trauma, and fear which erodes one's health and the will to continue living each day. We can not wait until the war is over to heal the deep wounds of destruction especially now for the women who are left to manage their homes, family, and society.

Today, we call on all those who are willing to help support the health and stability of every Ukraine woman. Your support allows us to continue teaching TM across Ukraine. Your generosity is a beacon of hope, and will help restore faith, strength, and peace in the hearts of Ukraine Women.

Each donation is a seed for growth—health from the inside out. We can start building a new future for Ukraine now on the shoulders of 1000's more Women empowered with inner strength!

We are Rasha and Jana from Lebanon. We need your help to become teachers of the Transcendental Meditation technique to bring peace in the Middle East.

Hi. I'm Rasha Al Bitar. That’s me in front. I am 23 years old, about to graduate from Lebanese University Faculty of Technology with a degree in Communication and Computer Network Engineering. While the tech world excites me, discovering Transcendental Meditation (TM) has profoundly changed my life. TM has brought me immense inner calm and clarity, acting as a natural stress-buster, as well as its positive impact on myself from natural law support.

My goal is to introduce TM to hospitals, schools, universities, and our security forces. Imagine students feeling less overwhelmed and managing pressure better. Picture security forces on the frontlines of daily stress, finding moments of inner peace. Hospital patients and staff finding relief from anxiety and a stressful environment. That's the kind of change I dream of creating by introducing TM to our communities.

Becoming a certified TM teacher will not only deepen my own practice and knowledge but also enhance my ability to share this technique effectively. Your support will help me spread the gift of TM to create positive change in our community.

I’m Jana Raydan, a Lebanese University student studying psychology. Learning Transcendental Meditation was a defining moment in my life. It has altered every aspect of it tremendously and still does.

Becoming a certified teacher will help me spread this technique efficiently and change lives positively. All of us deserve a chance to experience true bliss and the support of all laws of nature, to be able to clean all the accumulated stress we carry all the time. I want to reach out to everyone—students, people in the medical field, military personnel, fire fighters, teachers, and workers in all domains—all those in desperate need to alleviate overwhelming and intense stress, who want lasting peace and fulfilment but don’t know how or where to find it. I want to play a part in Maharishi’s mission to achieve world peace.

Your help means the world to me, for with the knowledge I’ll acquire, through TM, I’ll be able to help others in return and create ripples of happiness and peace in my community, country and the world.

We are raising money to finance year one of the first intercollegiate sports program at Maharishi International University. We are featuring soccer, tennis, and esports teams in 2024-2025 and will be expanding to include other teams such as golf, volleyball, and pickleball in year two. We expect to be profitable from year two on but need support for our first year takeoff.
