Stanley Lewis, a Visionary from Watts
In June 1968..
Whenever Lewis found something valuable, he wanted to share it. He knew right
away that the TM technique was something he wanted to give back to his
community..
Maharishi invited Lewis to begin training to be a TM teacher that August, at a
two-week advanced TM Retreat he was giving in Squaw Valley, California. In a
matter of minutes, Lewis’ life took a new direction. Before long a new TM
organization would be born.
In February, 1968, on the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, India—shortly
before the famous arrival of The Beatles—Maharishi took time from his TM
teacher-training lectures for an in-depth interview with Ebony

editor Era Bell Thompson.
In 1969 a few African American meditators and teachers of the Transcendental
Meditation® (TM®) program wished to bring the technique directly to their
communities. TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi supported this vision to form an
organization dedicated to teaching the TM technique to communities of color.
