Well, two comments. One, I think it can be demonstrated and has--but it was not called the "Maharishi effect" and Two, I don't believe anyone did any scientific research when it did. There may have been some sociological research. One example was one of the former Soviet republics which slowly converted to Buddhism and there was a huge upsurge in people practicing meditation and taming their own minds. It became a peaceable country. They also integrated western medicine with Tibeto-Ayurvedic medicine. The downside of course was, their neighbors didn't. In the case I'm thinking of, and I'll have to try and relocate the article I had read on this as it might interest some here, no "research" was necessary. It was obvious that this positively affected their entire population. High level of Gross National Happiness.
