"What is Yogic Flying?," Asks Larry King to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

[mrceebees14]

he or people like him started opening centers and essentially taking money away from Uncle Sam, and you KNOW what will happen when you start doing that. Is America a true democracy? I don't know, because it has never been truly tested. America has always had so much of everything because of the rich land we live on, but take that away and lets see how much the government really respects your rights as humans. I would love to test the theory, because in the end, it's about survival.

[szivalj]

i really like the end where the dude preaching peace and transcendental meditation says 'the sinners will go to hell' ! 

[DancingET]

Let's all learn flying Yogi technics and let airports go bankrupt.

-ET

[Mattmohawk]

He states basicly that you can live in peace however you wish, find our own paths to harmony. Buy the book if you want to or do it yourself

[PhysiologicAli]

Where is the proof? We want proof because if what you are saying is true this would be the greatest discovery made by man. If people can levitate you can imagine what are the implications regarding the very nature of reality. Otherwise don't take advantage of people by selling this so called spirituality with outrageous prices and turning it into a business. Meditation doesn't have a price tag.

[srikanthemw]

i have learnt yogic flying...........presently i am doing tm.....how can i start back tm-sidhi i think i am concentrating while doing sidhi sutras ...............please anyone guide

[dacooldude2222]

Why doesn't he record his own video flying first?

[guitarszzz]

@dacooldude2222 Lol, he doesn't mean flying with your physical body, he is talking about an experience in concisouness that is a feeling of moving through space at great velocity. AKA flying. Take acid or start meditating. Better yet, both. Because at the end of the day you're where you are.

[ZeroTheHero17]

Just reading these comments it is clear that most of the viewers are not even close to hearing what is said in this video. But I am very glad to see that many of you ARE ready for this.

[pappukumar420]

if these guru's and philosophers were so great....why din't they enter politics and change the world like they want it....its all just a sham...to teach the bonehead people about spiritual crap and false enlightenement....the real good people don't need spiritual crap....e.g gandhi, mother teresa, nelson mandela, bill gates, ab lincoln, issac newton, einstein, edison....etc.i.e. people who made real difference to lives of people and the world ...and not just to the lives of some

[STARCHILDTHAPRODUCA]

Thanyou for saying this on TV Youtube and I love you. I was flying as a child and then I had therapy later aroubd the age of 20 that convinced me I didnt and this did a lot of damage. I now only use nautural herbs/medicine or as natural as I can find it. And Im becoming a vegitarian, coming of fish/chicken as soon as I can. I do think that people become evil with the teachings medicines and food and I want to do as much as I can. I have just started a degree, but I dont believe it all. Sc/Tech.

[iamzbacku]

Goblygook.

Heck I was yogi flying when I was 5 years old and didn't know it.

[paulalancaster1]

MMY goes completely off the rails at 3:45 till the end of the clip. "Drama of democracy?" How about drama of regicide and wars of succession and coups? The world is in awe of the stable and peaceful transitions of power in the USA. Democracies DON'T go to war with each other. Kings do. I watched this show live in 2002 and almost fell out of my chair at the astonishing ignorance and naivete he demonstrates in these 3 minutes. He's a master of consciousness, but a child outside that domain.

[absorbedlotus]

dude i relaly respect what this guy has to say. haha he is an intelligent man.

[NotSoLiLMonstar]

Hmmm

[royrand]

Larry is a piece of moron..instead of saying yogic he says yodic. How ignorant can one be?

[luccaskunk]

I normally have respect for the yogis. They have an immense amount of wisdom. But this is one time I have to be contrary. The galaxies don't float because of creative intelligence, they float because they have nowhere to fall. Down is an arbitrary direction in space :P

[NoFx167]

@luccaskunk what are galaxies? Aren't they just our creative intelligence?

[HeshimaJameni]

@luccaskunk Yes, the galaxis float because of natural law as Maharishi has mention here. And natural law is what he refers to here as creative intelligence.

[seedform]

plus I don't think people yogic fly to look cool while doing it :)

[seedform]

well that's a jammed packed interview. yogic flying may look a little wacky but who doesn't want to harness creative intelligence?

[gobeyondthought]

One of the best interviews of Maharishi in recent times i think

Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying are the most profound techniques for improving one's life - IMHO

[imsleepyanddead]

mmy ftw!!!!

[ecsyntric]

hilarious! too wacky for larry king.

[13314u]

I think Larry King actually really like the interview with Maharishi - it was probably the most profound interview he ever did or will do.

[shivrajvishnu]

Just funny. LOL.

[horatio46]

Very funny! A man creating law which is not man made. Not exactly a new concept/

[splasher4444]

I don't think that's the point... It is that man can align with the "nitya and apaurusheya veda" which is the eternal, uncreated law of nature.

The same natural laws that are responsible for the "huge galactic universe float in the empty space."

All the best

[hidearCellofGod]

you may find in Yogi Bhajan´s teachings a kriya that makes one fly, after one of his pupils was teaching it uncarefully and someone got hurted, he was never teaching it again openly but it may be found in one of his books, I do not remember which one but it uses a l ot of fire breathing with the yogi exercises, I did it sometimes but not for flying and enjoyed it. Kundalini yogis are not into it, there are such teachings and they do not do a a big deal out of it. I think that is good, Blessings

[HeshimaJameni]

Well, jumping like frogs may look soo stupid. But I wouldn't trade the experience of inner bliss and joy that accompanies it for anything else.

Sometimes watching someone laugh uncontrolably might look stupid to you the observer. But you may not be able to fathom the experience of joy and happiness the person is feeling inside that makes him laugh in such an "ungentlemanly" manner!

[TheDutchDudette]

aha ya yogic flying is the bomb dude

[Aephqan]

This guy is such fly :D

[JudithStone]

OMG, is he still alive, Maharishi?

[gobeyondthought]

Maharishi took Mahasamadhi on the 5th of February, 2008.

He is still alive in my heart and I can always feel his influence of silence across the globe.

It is his knowledge and techniques that will last forever and he always said this is the most important thing.

"It will create a better world, a harmonious world."

[shaolindrunk]

hi bangkok 602 :) i think you cant assume everyone is wrong who believes this. maybe your right because i cant fly nor do i even have an account( im on a friends ) to demonstrate what i am capable of with energy or chi so instead you should look up john chang chi power he if nothing else has not been disproven

but he doesn't look tired at all he seems very vibrant ,though old lol. i do agree that butt jumping is silly to look at but that probably has more to do with us not being around it.

[13314u]

Maharishi is so right on its not funny

I love yogic flying and often feel I am floating through galaxies when I practice - it is sooo cosmic

[labasedelunivers]

j'expérimentais ce matin l'espace temps non linéaire

et la pulsation de la vie s'adaptant à chaque vécu individuel et collectif

ceci est en fait la véritable expérience de la relation entre le corps et l'akasha

jai guru dev

[urs429]

amazing talk by maharshi very good explanatin

ya, Yogic Flying is good

danke

[NataLucky]

My admiration for Maharishi! He is unique, genuine, always out of the common. Such a deep thinking. And with time you'll find he is true, he is right.

[ILuv2troll]

hehehe

[splasher4444]

Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about...

All the Yogic Flyer's that I've met are bright, happy and the most successful people I know.

I can see how you think it looks "stupid" but so do many things in life. The main thing is the inner experience and then the results one sees during outer activity in the world.

All the best to you.

:-))

[2HundredPercent]

@bangkok602

I'm not sure how many TM-Siddhas you've seen, but I find people who practice Transcendental Meditation and the Siddhis generally look healthy and energetic - and I know lots of them.

[itsonelouder1]

These Yogic Flyers, why don't they go and claim the $1million dollars James Randi is offering.

[itsonelouder1]

There's no scientific evidence for this. If there was then it would be all over the news and periodicals.

[gobeyondthought]

Actually, there is loads of Scientific evidence. There have been 50 demonstration projects and 23 published scientific studies on the group effect of Yogic Flying.

This large body of evidence has been accepted and published by mainstream scientific journals. Each study showed that groups of peace-creating experts can dramatically reduce violent crime, terrorism, and war.

The effects of Yogic Flying are very real but most of the sheeples are blind to recognize it...

~Peace.

[gobeyondthought]

This is a really nice explanation by Maharishi about what Yogic Flying really is.

My experience is that it is beyond words to describe the most subtle, blissful experiences that Yogic Flying brings.

I wouldn't miss my practice for anything!

[2HundredPercent]

(following on from my post below...) Regarding Maharishi's TM-Sidhis: Nowadays, I think every one that learns Yogic Flying goes in with the expectation that they'll be 'hopping', not levitating, but that they'll still get a lot of benefits from it: more energy, happiness, creativity, better health, etc.

Most people that learn find their expectations to be true - they do get those benefits. Those benefits are have also been validated by the scientific research that's been done on Yogic Flying.

[2HundredPercent]

Throughout history (even recently), there have been claims of levitation from many cultures, eg. Buddha, St. Joseph of Cupertino, the 'clever men' of Aboriginal Australia, etc. Some people will trust these accounts, while others won't believe unless they see it with their own eyes. (Others might not even believe once they do see it with their own eyes!) Takes all types to make a world...

[marKism69]

The problem here is that people can't fly or levitate. Noone has ever been able to demonstrate this ability including Maharishi. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that people ever have been able to levitate or ever will be able to, and suggesting anything to the contrary is just plain dishonest.

[DaBassie1]

Liars... Vlodrop isn't in holland!

[ShivamShantam]

What do you mean?

Vlodrop is in the Limburg district in the south east of Holland.

Yogic Flying is soooo much fun - thankyou Maharishi!

[b34EverAndEver]

This is quite interesting... I don't understand it that well but I want to know more. How can I find out more about Yogic Flying?

[shivrajvishnu]

This is height of foolishness. They should rename it as yogic hopping. It has been over two decades now, not even one from their organization can confidently claim they can hover for over 5 seconds. But surely, that organization has made millions in fees.

[Wink108]

The ancient texts describe 3 stages of Yogic Flying:

1. Hopping

2. Floating

3. Flying

I think it's been over 3 decades actually - and apart from rumors here and there, no one has gone past stage 1. If people were doing this just for the sake of flying, they'd have given up by now!

People practice Yogic Flying because it's fun - and afterwards, you feel more happy, energetic and clear headed.

Can't blame you for being skeptical though... I guess the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

[TobiramaSenju]

And you know that the no psychic development is possible without being able to sit in the pose for at least 3 hours

[marKism69]

Thats fine Wink if you think its fun to hop around and imagine that you are flying. However M definitely said that people can and do fly. In fact many people, not unreasonably, started the TM Sidhis program with that goal in mind. And that brings up a little question of ethincal advertising since the TM movement and M profitted greatly from teaching people to "Fly".

[pebacinho]

marKism69, Maharishi never said in the course that the goal is to fly,rather it is a" byproduct." And the hop that comes from the USE of the tecnique is very different from just hopping around. It is a delightful and blissful hopping. I swear man I say that with all my heart.

[itsonelouder1]

Why don't you contact James Randi, take the test and claim $1million? Give it to charity if you don't want it.

[divinegod102]

Yes, you should rest your mind in order to put yourself into the mystical state :)

It gave me an amazing feeling...Don't know how to describe it but I felt like I was touched by God...

[timi0000]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. This conversation starts on spirituality and ends with maharishi saying he wants to overthrow democracy and put himself in charge.

I hope he does realize too that the reason he and Larry King are able to have this conversation is because of science. The reason India is not as much of a toilet is because of science.

[rluijk]

Hi Timmi,

I can imagine you have to laugh, it is so shocking for our western minds to grasp in one time.

I did the same thing, when I first heard about it.

But you have to experience it to fully comprehend what has been said in this video.

You're reasoning about the content of this video is not of very high quality. But is that most likely because you are shock of this beautiful words.

Just listen again

Jai Guru Dev

[divedeepinside]

whatever Maharishi says its pure 100 % truth , it takes for some tounderstand it some time , for some more for some even much more for some few life times!

[surfingthechaos]

Um no. He's just a regular guy with his own faults like anyone else, and he would tell you that himself if he were still alive.

[Brahmanfire]

Then you do not understand the nature of Unity Consciousness. Whosoever lives constantly enraptured by the divine knows Perfection in Action, Speech, and Thought. Perfection in the eyes of God may not quite attain to the standardized judgments of what perfection is in human eyes. In Union, Perfection Is.

[Bellyflops2]

The words about peace are lovely, too bad you need to spend $1500 to get your mantra and that peace.

[divedeepinside]

or work cleaning for 2 years , nothing is free in life:)

[SatwaMan]

TM lasts a lifetime and gets better and better.

1500 dollars is about, what, 50 dollars a year, or $1 a week for life.

Anyways, its less than 1500 now.

[Zeno1999]

Today, sheeples know price of everything and know nothing about the value of things that matter most.

Btw, that's because of success of "special interest" groups controlling gov't, corporations and school system- all within democracy, this word is now synonymous with mockery.

Even China has a better gov't with so many scientists and engineers making gov't decisions rather than those "spoiled alcoholic brats" with big mouth and no integrity.

[haamd101]

this guy has no base in what he is talking if he is so genies lets forget about he want to fix the world just fix INDIA

[maharishichannel]

Actually Maharishi IS fixing India. 100,000's of at risk kids are learning his Transcendental Meditation technique in their schools. He has built hundreds of college and school campuses across the continent and is gathering large groups of Peace-Professional Vedic Pandits to help bring harmony and affluence to the whole world...

[divedeepinside]

bravo If he has no base in what He says U dont exist at all!

[Kamal002233]

@haamd101 To understand Maharshai Ji, Intellectually, you must be having basic understanding of terms and the best way about maharashi ji is to understand him practicaly, through TM and other programes

[cosmic248]

I think he is talking BS

[NataLucky]

He is talking reasonable things.

[monapayne77]

F the government! I also agree that Science is fraud.

[ThrowMidgets]

yea science is totaly a fraud, did you forget that you are watching this on a computer A DIRECT RESULT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

[maharishichannel]

Obviously the good things that Science has brought the world are not a fraud.

But as Maharishi says "Hiroshima was created in the name of Science!" - This is a fraud!

Especially when Peace can be created through Science - yet no one takes up Maharishi's profound technologies for harnessing the Unified Field that have been scientifically verified and published to actually bring repeatable results...

[DoNotBeHighandMighty]

@ThrowMidgets

Whoa, calm down, get a glass of water, relax, come back and well talk, don't kill anybody now.

[jtunkelo]

The truth about modern medicine... it's blunt but well put there...

[cb108]

The truth about the two fundamental pillars of Western civilization: "modern science" and democracy. Modern science is partial knowledge--it doesn't include knowledge of the knower, the Self. Maharishi's Vedic Science is complete knowledge, where one experiences the Reality of life directly. Enlightened monarchs, living in the light of God, will replace divisive democracy. This is not wishful thinking. It is verifiable experience. The light of a better time for mankind is dawning!
