Help Nane and Nicholas to become teachers of TM

Hi, we are a newly married couple, Nane (from Armenia) and Nicholas (from Georgia). We met at our Sidhi course, in 2022 and since then we were both very devoted to Maharishi's knowledge. We both had a very deep connection with the knowledge and deep feeling that it's the answer to all of the questions we had in our lives. We are very grateful to have found the fastest track to our personal evolution at such a young age.

For Nane, coming from a country where wars, risks of attacks, tragedy and fear of losing your loved ones or your homeland are constantly present, TM seems to be the only answer for bringing peace and harmony to my country. I grew up seeing how hard life was for everyone around me, how much fear there was in my family and all of my friends every time there was some news about tensions in the borders. I saw my friends losing their brothers, fathers and it's very hard to cope with a pain like that when you have no support for gaining peace and coming back to your blissful essence.

Transcendental Meditation was the only thing that had such amazing effects on my health and peace. With practice, I became more happy, peaceful, loving and compassionate. And when I learned how effective it can be not only for the individual, but for the whole society, I started to share about it with everyone I knew. I started volunteering and trying to help my teacher to spread the word. I opened social media accounts and started translating different interviews and pieces of knowledge from Maharishi into Armenian. I tried to reach the schools in my local area, Vanadzor, with my teacher. Also I worked with our National Director to help her with the translation of Maharishi's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita into Armenian. I was and still am thirsty of Maharishi's purest knowledge. And when finally I went to the New Mother Divine program, there I had the strong calling to become a teacher. I felt that it's my Dharma and only sharing this wonderful knowledge could be the only way for me to be the most helpful.

For Nicholas, TM was actually life changing from the very beginning. I have been very involved in spreading TM in my community and I loved the knowledge. I worked for Georgian TM organization as a Social Media Marketer. I have over 10 years of experience of working in videography, social media marketing, motion graphics, photography, video editing, live stream supervising and advertising. I wanted to attend TTC 2 years ago, but I didn't have the funds. Now, we see that Nature organized it in that way, so we will do it together with Nane.

Having all these skills I wish to spread TM in Georgia and Armenia on a completely new level. I wish that all these skills we have, will be used for something that we love and care about the most, sharing this gift from Maharishi to the world and creating a happy, healthy and enlightened environment for all the people. We have great plans of making TM known by everyone in our countries, moving with the trends of the time and using internet as a tool of reaching the most amount of people.

We also plan to reach the schools, ministry of education, orphanages, different organizations and inspire them to practice TM in big groups, every day, in order to experience the improvement in education and overall quality of life for everyone.

We are very inspired and devoted to do our part for all these ideas to come into reality.

Your support is very crucial and we appreciate any help you can give.
