New Library Website Offers Maharishi Videos for Public

Many Maharishi videos are now available to the public via the new MUM library 
website – one of several resources now being offered for the first time.

The Maharishi Video Library page is available at mum.edu/videolibrary 
.

It has a number of collections by various speakers, including a collection 
called One Period a Day because Maharishi felt that every classroom at every 
level of education should include a short knowledge video each day. It contains 
450 Maharishi videos recorded during the period 2002–2007 that were originally 
shown on the Maharishi Channel.

One Period a Day includes 120 videos available to the public for viewing online 
directly from the website. An additional 330 videos in this collection are 
available for viewing by anyone on request by going to the tape library booth 
in the library, asking to see the video, and then watching it in the public 
viewing room.

One Period a Day includes a listing of categories. Clicking on a category 
brings up a page with two lists of videos: a list at left that’s viewable to 
anyone, and a list in the center that requires a student or faculty password, 
or that can be viewed in the public viewing room.

Main points accompany each video in the collection.

In addition, the publicly available collection of 120 videos is searchable by 
keyword. These videos have been transcribed, and keyword search results include 
an excerpt to show how the word is being used in context in the video.

The right column on the Maharishi Video Library page includes an additional 
collection of videos that talk about each of the areas of knowledge introduced 
by Maharishi.

The main page of the new library website can be found at library.mum.edu 
.
 The purpose of the new website is to educate students and the community, said 
Library Director Rouzanna Vardanyan.

In addition to providing access to thousands of academic journals and to vast 
databases of news and information, as well as the MUM library catalog, the 
library website includes a Special Collections link that gives access to 
resources such as the International Journal of Mathematics and Consciousness 
and the Journal of Modern Science and Vedic Science.

Other resources include a Search Engines link, which is a curated page of 
useful search engines such as Google Scholar and Google books. These search 
engines enable users to find materials that are often not available through a 
regular Google search.

Additional resources are continuing to be added. The Special Collections link 
will eventually include access to a digital archive of historical materials 
such as photos, brochures, and posters.

Ms. Vardanyan said that the new website is especially convenient for faculty.

“Faculty will no longer need to phone the tape library to schedule a video to 
show their students in class. They can simply use their password and access the 
video via the new website.”

Also new is BookMyne, a mobile app available on Google Play that can be used to 
access the MUM catalog. Patrons can also use it to see which items they have 
checked out, can renew items they’ve checked out, and can place holds on items 
checked out to another user.

Yes Janet Sussman bought a house in Fairfield recently. Is part of the 
Fairfield, Iowa community.



This last weekend a number of healers came together in Fairfield for a two day 
workshop/ satsang with her. Long experienced as a spiritual healer she is 
excellent with capacities as a teacher of ‘how to’ transmit energetic healing.

As type of satsang here in Fairfield there are several groups on campus that 
recite/chant sanskrit. Also in town.  The Ammachi group, some other groups and 
also at the Devi Mandir Temple in town as also there is dedicated individual 
spiritual practice of chanting. Also there is a group that meets regularly for 
chanting of old Hebrew as spiritual practice in Fairfield.

FF Satsang:



“..All kinds of spiritual practice is going on here. The thread is that people 
understand it because of Maharishi, because of the holy tradition. They 
understand the state, that it is not just about having flashy experience but 
finding modalities which help with their clarity, the clarity of the inner 
state.”
. .

“..Whether it is the bhakti path, ritual, whatever the avenue is that people 
feel they the need to cultivate, it is here and it is happening .  It is very 
lively. ..Huge Trillium group, big Oneness group, the AOL They are there. 
Connie’s group, Janet has her following, or Byron Katie and the inquiry path, 
adviatian path. The meditator churches and temples, it is all here. “
. .

“..For instance there are people here in Fairfield in to the Trillium thing 
here. Trillium is a big deal here. It was called Waking Down, it is now called 
something else because Daniel Bonder could not keep it in his pants, so they 
had a division over that so now they are re-branded, re-orienting, but they 
have certainly carried on in transpersonal work, a Stanislav Grauf process that 
is very powerful and clearer.”



Satsang FF replies..:


“Now with the Pundits gone we do have these Western people on social security 
trained up with these skill sets of chanting sanskrit and the Vedic texts.

Maybe they become the communal pundits in recitation.   “if the MUM process 
fell apart”, then..

Hello! They are right here.  If you have what, 20 smart people doing it then 
here we have it.”


replies:


"Yes, and Fairfield, Iowa meditating is certainly 'a tale of two cities' or 
more everyday  ..In Fairfield, Ia. in context there are so many people who are 
rippingly along engaged in spiritual evolution. Look at all these groups that 
are meeting the individual needs of people because it suits them. It is not a 
'one size fits all' program, nature does not work that way. Nature is 
infinitely diverse in how she solves and works it. It is okay and alive."

Fell apart?

The Fairfield, Iowa Coffee House Satsanga in consideration replies:



"..No, in Fairfield the people who want to be here are meditating in the Domes. 
Many hundreds here still."


Someone commentating about Fairfield from afar, “The infrastructure he put in 
place in N. America has fallen apart, with few pandits and dropping numbers in 
the domes. Perhaps there is some destiny for a rougher transition.”


Quoting:  “..if the MUM process fell apart, then it is because each of us as 
individuals has gained more influence over the environment. It doesn't really 
make sense that we are gaining light on the planet, and the sustaining element 
if it is such, at MUM would fall apart.   ..I think it is simply obsolete.”.end 
quote


.. ..

Contentious,

– you told us about some such groups in town with whom you recently met who are 
planning group meditations (TM, or mostly TM) on the night before the election 
in the hope if creating some positive effect. Like, really?


I would suggest that you tell them that they would have a much stronger effect 
by coming to the Dome at least once daily every day from now on, and keep 
coming.

If they think their group meditations will have an effect, then (in the same 
breath) they cannot say that the Dome groups don’t!

Where is the documentary video 
 that was made of the meditating community building the Domes for group 
meditation in Fairfield back in the 1970’s ? It shows our people running 
excavating equipment, doing the concrete pours with that whole story of working 
the concrete in mid winter, erecting the wood beam superstructure, roofing, 
windows, woodwork. Interviews with those young bright eyed dedicated people 
then doing it then. 
  
 One morning a week or so ago this documentary was being shown on the Maharishi 
Channel TV monitor that sits near the exit doors of the men’s Dome.  Normally 
people stream by the TV there on their way out for their work of their day. 
That morning people would stop by and a small group of people would form 
watching moments of it and people would express a pride of ownership of it,  
‘they were there’, ‘they did that..’. 
  
 After the men’s Dome construction the women’s Dome got built in the same way.  
 A Lot of people still in the community here now were there then. It was a way 
Utopian sharing of resources and skills given to it. It still is in ways for 
those wanting to be there now for meditating and those who understand the moral 
implication of group meditation.
