On the auspicious occasion of the Hindu New Year (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada) on 31st March 2014, the Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay (also known as the Maharshi University of Spirituality) was founded by Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale, in Goa, India.

F. Studying and researching the 14 Vidyas and 64 Kalas

Yes, you can. However, it should be done only after taking written permission from MAV. It should not violate any intellectual property rights. Also, when using the content from MAV, one should give credits to MAV.

Spiritual research is the most fundamental aspect of MAV and is undertaken under the guidance of Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale. It is predominantly conducted via 2 methods :

• Through the medium of an advanced level of sixth sense of a person

• Through aura and energy scanners

A complete understanding of subtle vibrations requires a highly developed sixth sense; however, modern aura and subtle energy scanners can measure limited aspects of this dimension. This has immense importance to society as it gives tangible proof of the subtle world. These instruments provide clear, objective insights into the spiritual positivity or negativity of various stimuli in our daily lives.

We recommend that you read the fundamental articles on our website and also (ssrf.org) which publishes research by MAV. You could choose to attend our 5-Day workshop held at the Spiritual Research center, Goa. This will give you an insight about our work and based on that, further possibilities can be discussed.

Eligibility and admission criteria for students

• 1. Preference for admission will be given to those who want to make spiritual progress and who want to make efforts to increase sattvikta in their art form or in their discipline/field.

• 2. Students who have this inclination will mostly be between the spiritual levels of 40-50%. Accordingly, in all likelihood, this will be the general spiritual level of students who will seek admission into the Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay.
