History

Historical Context

Since the Maharishi began mass-marketing Transcendental Meditation in 1959—gaining fame through the Beatles in 1966 and charging sizable course fees—the movement built a multibillion-dollar enterprise (U.S. assets ? $300 million in 2007). The 1999 launch of MIU’s high-price “Maharishi Effect” program and ensuing lawsuits echo today’s 2024 Tim Tebow withdrawal from Life Surge, showing persistent regulatory focus on celebrity-linked wellness schemes.
