Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born on January 12, 1918, in the village of Panduka near the city of Raipur in Chhattisgarh.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi received teachings on meditation and yoga from his guru in the Himalayas, Brahmananda Saraswati. It is said that after the demise of his guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi became despondent and purposeless, eventually jumping into the Ganges in despair. Though his life was saved, he embarked on a quest to find the purpose of life.
