Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s work unfolded through a constellation of organizations that sought to bring inner experience and outer life into harmony. Early on, this took shape in the **Spiritual Regeneration Movement**, which served as a first vehicle for offering Transcendental Meditation more widely, and in the **International Meditation Society** and **Students International Meditation Society**, which carried the practice into general society and university settings. These were complemented by the **World Plan Executive Council**, an umbrella body designed to coordinate the practical implementation of his vision of global enlightenment. Over time, these initiatives were joined by the **Maharishi Foundation** and related administrative structures, all oriented toward making meditation and Vedic knowledge accessible in an organized, systematic way.

A central strand of his legacy lies in education. The establishment of **Maharishi International University** (later known as **Maharishi University of Management**) in Fairfield, Iowa, and **Maharishi European Research University** in Europe, created formal settings where “Consciousness-Based Education” could be explored in depth. Alongside these, institutions such as the **Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment** and a broader network of **Maharishi Schools** extended the same principles to primary and secondary education. Additional initiatives like **Maharishi Vedic University**, **Maharishi University of World Peace**, and the **Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation** further expressed the intent to integrate Vedic wisdom with modern educational structures.

Maharishi’s vision also embraced the transformation of collective life, not only through education but through social and political forms. The **Global Country of World Peace** was conceived as a non-political, global organization—described by some as a kind of sovereign nation—dedicated to fostering peace through large groups practicing Transcendental Meditation and related techniques. In the political arena, the **Natural Law Party** sought to bring principles derived from his teachings into public policy and governance. Financial and development arms such as the **Maharishi Global Development Fund** and related foundations were oriented toward supporting projects intended to create coherence and uplift in society.

Attention to health, environment, and culture rounded out this comprehensive vision. Through **Maharishi Ayur-Veda** and associated **Maharishi Health Education Centers** and clinics, traditional Ayurvedic knowledge was organized into a modern framework of preventive and holistic health. Architectural and community-planning initiatives, including **Maharishi Vedic City** and organizations promoting Vedic architecture, aimed to align living and working spaces with natural law. Media and publishing efforts, such as the **Maharishi Channel**, **Maharishi Open University**, and various publishing houses, served as vehicles for disseminating teachings on Transcendental Meditation and Vedic science worldwide, allowing the same core principles to permeate many dimensions of contemporary life.
