Life is bliss as stated by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who has revived purity and integrity of ancient Vedic knowledge with a scientific outlook in order to create Heaven on Earth. He has offered many Vedic programs creating perfection in all areas of life. At the basis of all his programs lies the Transcendental Meditation technique through which we can know by personal experience that life is bliss.
Maharishi's programs bring perfection to individual and national life by reuniting all the areas of life to their source which transcends material existence-the unified field out of which all the laws of nature and sub-atomic particles emerge according to modern science. Enlivening the connection with the source of life the source of infinite peace, energy, intelligence, and creativity-brings out the infinite bliss within everyone and creates fulfillment in every area of life.
Maharishi's unique gift to the world is enlightenment for the individual and invincibility for the nation. "Life Is Heaven" describes, in practical everyday language, each of Maharishi's programs and shows us how to live our lives in bliss and create a peaceful world.

The desire to write a book that will clearly expound the uniqueness of Maharishi's teaching and programs came to my mind at the end of the first Residence Course for Ladies held in Turkey on the 23rd of May, 2009. Inspired by the beautiful, natural setting of Pastoral Vadi in Fethiye, Türkiye (Turkey), the idea of a book about Maharishi's programs seemed so charming because there is nothing more important than improving our lives towards perfection.
The modern lifestyle has provided people higher living standards along with many material comforts. On the other hand, problems have increased as well. There are so many problems and so many alternative ways to solve them now. Innumerable mental techniques, herbal remedies, and methods of alternative medicine have sprung up in the marketplace to save people from unhealthy habits, harmful thinking, self-damaging actions, poisonous negative feelings, and other health, family, business, and personal problems. Most of the people are confused-they do not know which one to choose, or what to believe in.
People try one technique after another without any satisfaction and continue to search for something new and different. Then, some people find Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to remove suffering from the lives of people and then they stop to run hither and thither. This simple technique from Maharishi takes the mind from the surface of life full of problems, and leads it to the unbounded, infinite field of happiness, peace intelligence, and creativity deep within everyone.
Through this process we become aware that the source of happiness is inside, not outside.
Transcendental Meditation is a natural, effortless, simple mental technique that connects consciousness with the field of infinite happiness which is always within us. Because it does not involve concentration, contemplation, or positive thinking, it is very simple-so simple that even a child can learn. Yet while it is very simple, TM has a powerful effect on every aspect of life-the mind, body, thinking, and behavior. Sometimes this effect is instant and takes place immediately after instruction. Sometimes the benefits are gradual and cumulative. But one thing is certain, it changes our lives for the better.
