It was in 2007 that Maharishi asked me to make some token of his appreciation for all the people who have been working for many years in service to help fulfill his aspiration to bring the knowledge of enlightenment to the world. At the time, I was just beginning to learn the technology for creating this medallion. It took a long time, but over the years, the technical aspect, the creative aspect, and the repeating impulse from Nature to fulfill Maharishi's desire all aligned again to bring about the creation of this award.
I've created several things that Maharishi asked for, including the Enlightened Leadership medal and the Raja chains of office, but this award has been the most rewarding. It has sent a great wave of recognition and appreciation to those who have upheld their roles as representatives of the Tradition of Masters, and it has returned waves of remembrance, fulfillment, joy, and bliss. It's all been very satisfying, and your tribute here to the greatness of this knowledge and tradition we hold sacred and dear puts a big exclamation point on it. Thank you for writing it.
Thank you for sharing the backstory and your role in creating the medal and fulfilling Maharishi's desire(s). Admittedly, I am blessed to learn the offered tribute resonates.
Thank you for your thoughts, so eloquently expressed with devotion to our Teachers, Maharishi and Guru Dev.

"I call my method meditation, but it is in fact, a technique of self-exploration. It enables one to dive into the innermost reaches of their being, in which dwells the essence of life and the source of all wisdom, all creativity, all peace and all happiness." - Maharishi
