In celebration of Mother’s Day, this episode features a video of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi talking about the essential nature of love and its all-pervading influence on the evolution of life. Rhoda Orme-Johnson, Ph.D., writer, retired literature professor, and TM teacher, joins host Mario Orsatti to discuss this beautiful talk in which Maharishi answers questions about the nature of love.

TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced the Transcendental Meditation program worldwide beginning in 1959. Since then, more than 10 million people of all ages, cultures, and religions have learned the TM technique. In 1963, Maharishi published his seminal book, Science of Being and Art of Living, which was translated into 15 languages. His second book, published in 1967, was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on the Bhagavad-Gita: A New Translation and Commentary. He wrote many more books and inspired a revolution in the scientific study of higher states of consciousness. Over 700 published studies over the past 50 years have demonstrated the far-reaching benefits of the TM technique and its advanced programs in all areas of life.

Dr. Rhoda Orme-Johnson chaired the Department of Literature and Languages at Maharishi International University for more than 20 years. She is the co-author of The Flow of Consciousness: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on Literature and Language. Her most recent book is Anna: An Immigrant Story, a tale of mothers, daughters, and granddaughters. Dr. Orme-Johnson earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of Maryland and her B.A. in mathematics and philosophy from Vassar College.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, this episode features a video of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi talking about the essential nature of love and its all-pervading influence on the evolution of life.
