The First Arabic TM-Sidhi Course

It is with great joy to name the 32nd TM-Sidhi course conducted in Lebanon in July 2000, the First Arabic TM-Sidhi Course. 

TM-Sidhi courses in Lebanon started to be organized since the year 1979, and now this year we conducted the 32nd course, the total number of the Sidhas who completed the courses over these year is now around 700. In this 32nd course the total number of course participants is 37 people, constituted of two groups in two locations where the course was given simultaneously. 

Moreover, it is the first time that it happened that the course participants who attended this course came from Eight Arabic Countries; Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, that is why this course deserve the name of the First Arabic TM-Sidhi Course.

In the year 1989, Maharishi said: "Lebanon will soon be the lighthouse of the Middle East, and from that time we start working in this direction. Our work was to spread the knowledge of Maharishi, the knowledge of the Veda to the Arab sister countries. 

Since the year 1990, many Lebanese governors are traveling regularly to Egypt and support the Egyptian TM movement to grow and expand. Under the guidance of Mrs. Aziza Hussein, the National Leader, a great devote lady, the TM movement in Egypt has developed rapidly, especially in the last few years with the support of Miss Nada Haider a Governor from Lebanon, who played an important role to create the integrity in the TM movement in Egypt.

In the year 1991 and 1992, a Lebanese governor traveled to Damascus the capital in Syria, and teach the TM technique to 24 people, and another governor traveled to Aleppo north of Syria, and teach the TM technique to 12 people. Those meditators has been encouraged to establish a TM movement in Syria. 

Since the year 1995, a Lebanese Governor, Mr. Wadie Haider, is also traveling frequently to Kuwait, and many groups have been learn the TM technique. 

Moreover, the TM centers in Lebanon has in their records many meditators from different nationalities from other Arab countries like Jordan, Iraq, Gulf area, Saudi Arabia, etc. And with the availability of the Internet, our sister company CCExpert, a company specialize in computer and internet services, established to support the TM movement in Lebanon, has made several publicity campaigns for the TM techniques and other movement's activities and as a result a large number of internet users (more than 25000) have visited the Maharishi Health Education Center's Web Site, and thereby these visitors have been introduced to our movement and our activities, and as a general result we start receiving many inquiries from many countries, and many people have learned the TM Techniques, and many old Meditators and Sidhas who have been away for a long period of time, return to participate in the centers' activities.

As Maharishi said, Lebanon is really now the lighthouse of the Middle East who is taking the role of spreading the light of pure knowledge to the Arab World.
