The resulting WikiProject was created at WikiProject Transcendental Meditation movement

Description
This project aims to improve existing articles, and create new high quality articles, about Transcendental Meditation and related programs and technologies, and their organizations, founders, leaders, former leaders, publications, and other closely related topics. This project aims to provide a structured forum where Wikipedians can discuss proposed edits and additions.

This project also aims to tag articles that mention the above topics, such as articles about persons who practice TM. Kevin Carmody (talk) 09:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Other links

 * Existing template: Template:Transcendental Meditation movement (already used in many articles)
 * An existing category, Transcendental Meditation movement, is automatically generated from tags in articles, including the above template, and can be accessed through those tags. (It seems that a category cannot be accessed through a link without adding the page to the category, which does not appear appropriate for a project proposal.)

Articles to include in the project

 * Techniques and programs

 * Organizations

 * Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Vedic University
 * Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment
 * Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation
 * Maharishi Vidya Mandir Schools

The following entries are in the Transcendental Meditation practitioners subcategory. Since they are leaders of the TM movement, their articles should be included in the project and not just tagged as practicing TM.

 * Bevan Morris
 * Tony Nader
