TM-Sidhis
The first ladies’ group has been taught Yogic Flying and fly together in a group now! Additionally, people continuing to learn TM-Sidhis, and interest in becoming Yogic Flyers is increasing. The Yogic Flyers invite other Sidhas to their homes for group flying. We are also continuing regular online group meditation every night!
Initiations are expanding nation-wide
From villages to other rural areas, day by day, people are taking an interest in TM, and even illiterate men and women are coming to learn. And medical doctors are now recommending TM to their patients.
TM for professionals
We recently taught TM to an IT company – all their software engineers and experts. We have also taught various entrepreneurs, corporate sector trainers, and reiki experts.
Winds for change
Now that TM is being promoted more, we have regular courses even in remote areas. We will see a great positive change, which will increase peace and harmony and make this an area of permanent peace, Insha’Allah (God willing).
Below we see images of some courses and knowledge meetings held by Dr Ashok Kumar and Dr Bori Bai

CONSOLIDATING MAHARISHI’S KNOWLEDGE
Dr Ashok Kumar, National Director of Pakistan and Bhori Bai, (both TM Sidhi Administrators and Ambassadors) plus the two active teachers in Pakistan are continuing to create coherence in the region in between lockdowns and various levels of SOPs.
“The year began with a relaxation of restrictions which saw us travel to the city to Lahore, resulting in one of Pakistan’s top female model, as well as Pakistan’s top fashion designer and actor (currently on a major network drama) learning Transcendental Meditation, along with many other members of their family and staff.”
“Around 30 have been instructed in TM since then, including many young students of universities and colleges, from medical, engineering, business, and computer sciences.”
“One of our main priorities is creating Sidhas, and nearly 100 Meditators are waiting to complete their TM-Sidhi instructions as soon as the situation allows for a flying block. We are also regularly conducting follow-up meetings over Zoom so as to keep experiences steady and inspire more Sidhas.”
“This includes weekly group meditations connecting the Meditators in the capital city of Islamabad and Sindh who enjoy never-before played tapes of Maharishi, with everyone enjoying waves of deep bliss from the connection on the level of consciousness to each other and Maharishi.”
“This year also sees us preparing two new TM teachers for TTC; the daughter of the National Director who is a young college student that displays great reverence to Maharishi, and a Sidha from Islamabad, both of whom have been volunteering with us for a long time. They are deeply devoted to the Knowledge and are currently taking the SCI course as well as enjoying other Maharishi’s programs, books, and tapes.”
“We want that under Maharishi’s grace and Raja Raam’s guidance they may reach even more Meditators and Sidhas, give out Knowledge courses, and inspire people to become teachers and implement plans for all of Pakistan to radiate in bliss. We are seeing so much of the effects of the Knowledge already with increased harmony with our neighbouring countries and peace talks, cease-fire and truces accelerating in the field of Indo-Pak relations.”

National Directors Drs Ashok & Bori Bai KumarR
- We have had a course in Islamabad with students and startup managers from the top-ranked university of Pakistan. These include a WHO representative based in Geneva but working on a project here, and many others from fields such as finance, real estate, and so on.
- Regular online group meditation and knowledge meetings with very keen participants.
- A course in Lahore to teach one of Pakistan and India’s leading superstars – a singer, musician, actor, writer, producer, whose wife and children also learnt, as well as a whole group of industry and family friends whom he hosted at his house for the TM course. Another family was taught as well in the same city.
- Prior to this we had been traveling to Tharparkar, a desert area in Pakistan which is ranked lowest on the Human Development Index, running courses with up to 45 participants, all socially distant with proper Standard operating procedures – without that the number would have been much higher!
Our work in both these urban cities and the remote village areas has been restarted as of August and we aim to continue it, with teaching now resuming in Karachi. In addition to this, 40 Sidhas are flying regularly!
