About this Book

The inspiration and guidance Maharishi Mahesh Yogi directed to students and educators in establishing Maharishi Vedic University (MVU) in Cambodia was motivated by his dedicated attention to improving the lives of every individual and every nation, by providing knowledge, skills and learning which develop every aspect of life. Maharishi¿s goodwill towards Cambodia extended to needy students, teachers and educators, government officials, researchers, benefactors and other well-wishers in Australia, Thailand, Japan and France, as well as towards every individual and every cultural, social and governmental institution in Cambodia.The purpose of this book is to introduce and consider the motivations, goals, theories, programs, and social and research outcomes of MVU in Cambodia. The book does not attempt to document the history of MVU in Cambodia, but rather surveys the various theoretical foundations and applied elements of MVU, drawing extensively on published studies and research papers which were written during and subsequently to the University¿s early stages and which appear in some of the world's leading international journals of education. In this sense, the book is a celebration of MVU and its achievements, and hopefully will serve as a future guide to students, teachers and educators of the significance and scope of Vedic Science-based Education in Cambodia and Maharishi¿s example of dedication and love for the people of this country.
