Using Maharishi Vedic Science to Understand the Share Market

Abstract

Share markets are an extraordinary construction of human endeavour. Yet, whether a person has invested using one or not, most have, at best, an ambivalent attitude towards them. Commonly they are considered chaotic and risky while, at the same time, being essential for financial security. This often results in anxiety for investors, clouding their ability to properly analyse investment strategies. As a consequence, their results are frequently unsatisfactory and fall short of their goals. More seriously, they may fall short of their retirement needs. This adds to their anxiety, completing a vicious circle.

The purpose of this paper is to show that underneath this chaos are deep unifying principles derived from Maharishi Vedic Science. The benefits of these principles can be utilised by all investors so that their investing becomes personally enjoyable and financially effective. In this way the paper brings together the timeless wisdom of Vedic Knowledge brought to us by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with the study of the share market, a defining marker of modern capitalist societies.
