About TM
What is Transcendental Meditation (TM)?
TM is a simple, natural, effortless mental technique practiced 20 minutes twice daily, sitting comfortably with eyes closed.
Is TM the same as mindfulness or concentration?
No. TM does not involve focusing, controlling thoughts, visualisation, or breathing techniques. It allows the mind to settle naturally.
Do I need prior meditation experience?
No. TM is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced meditators who want an effortless practice that fits into daily life.
Is TM religious?
TM is a technique—not a religion. People of all backgrounds practise it.
Learning TM with Rohit
How is TM taught?
TM is taught one-to-one, in a personal setting, with a structured course that includes:
an introductory talk
personal instruction (individual)
follow-up sessions to ensure effortless practice
Can I learn TM online?
Yes. You can learn TM through online one-to-one personal instruction from anywhere in the world.
Can I learn in person?
Yes. In-person instruction may be available depending on location and schedule (Leh, Mumbai, Tiruvannamalai).
How long does the course take?
The course is taught across multiple sessions, over 4 days and ~1 hour each session. After a brief initial conversation, you’ll receive a clear schedule that fits your time zone and routine.
What is your teaching style?
My role is not to motivate or push—it is to transmit a precise technique. Students often describe the teaching as calm, clear, unforced, and grounded.
Practice & Results
How much time do I need each day?
TM is practised 20 minutes twice daily. Most people find it easy to integrate into a normal schedule.
What will I experience during TM?
Experiences vary. Some people feel deep rest, others feel subtle settling of the mind. The most important point is effortlessness—there is nothing to force.
How soon will I notice benefits?
Some people notice changes quickly; for others it’s gradual. The effects are cumulative and practical, supporting clarity, balance, rest, and resilience over time.
What if my mind is busy and I can’t “stop thinking”?
That’s normal. TM does not require stopping thoughts. The technique works even when the mind is active.
What if I miss a session or struggle with practice later?
You will have access to guidance and follow-ups so your practice stays correct and effortless over time.
