About MUM Press

MUM Press is an independent editorial resource dedicated to thoughtful, well-researched coverage of Transcendental Meditation, Vedic traditions, Indian classical music, and Ayurveda. Our roots trace back to the Maharishi University of Management Press, which for decades served as a publisher of books, research papers, and recordings related to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's contributions to education, science, and culture.

Today, we carry that legacy forward in a different form. Rather than selling books, we publish long-form articles, biographical profiles, and research summaries that aim to make these subjects accessible to a wider audience. Every piece goes through careful editorial review to ensure accuracy, fairness, and readability.

Our editorial standards

We believe that topics like meditation and Vedic philosophy deserve the same rigor that any serious subject receives. That means citing published research with full references, presenting multiple viewpoints where controversy exists, and never making health claims that the evidence does not support.

Who we are

Our editorial team includes writers with backgrounds in journalism, South Asian studies, musicology, and integrative health. Several of us have personal experience with Transcendental Meditation, which informs our coverage without dictating it. We write for the genuinely curious—whether they have been practicing meditation for thirty years or are encountering these ideas for the first time.
