Stanley Lewis, a Visionary from Watts In June 1968.. Whenever Lewis found something valuable, he wanted to share it. He knew right away that the TM technique was something he wanted to give back to his community.. Maharishi invited Lewis to begin training to be a TM teacher that August, at a two-week advanced TM Retreat he was giving in Squaw Valley, California. In a matter of minutes, Lewis’ life took a new direction. Before long a new TM organization would be born. In February, 1968, on the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, India—shortly before the famous arrival of The Beatles—Maharishi took time from his TM teacher-training lectures for an in-depth interview with Ebony https://books.google.com/books?id=KtoDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false editor Era Bell Thompson. In 1969 a few African American meditators and teachers of the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) program wished to bring the technique directly to their communities. TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi supported this vision to form an organization dedicated to teaching the TM technique to communities of color. .. Now, To celebrate the TMC’s history and legacy, join the 50th Anniversary Live Webcast on March 17, https://www.tmclegacyandbeyond.com/ online or at your local TM Center. It will feature inspiring talks and music by key figures, rare photos and footage, and a keynote address by Dr. John Hagelin, director of the TM organization in the United States. https://enjoytmnews.org/celebrating-50-years-of-teaching-tm-in-african-american-communities-1969-2019/#.XGlsNOJKhsM https://enjoytmnews.org/celebrating-50-years-of-teaching-tm-in-african-american-communities-1969-2019/#.XGlsNOJKhsM https://enjoytmnews.org/ https://enjoytmnews.org/
