Mark Cohen has been practicing and teaching Transcendental Meditation, the TM-Sidhi program, and related advanced practices for over 53 years, and has taught TM to thousands of people worldwide. He studied directly under His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whom he regards as the living embodiment of Vedic Science, and considers it the greatest blessing of his life to have worked closely with Maharishi. Dr. Cohen received his PhD in Maharishi Vedic Science from Maharishi Vedic University in Vlodrop, Holland (1992–1994).

His dissertation explored the one-to-one relationship between the 27 aspects of Vedic Science, the 27 nakṣatras, and the 27 components of the pulse as understood in Nāḍi Vijñāna (Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis). He has also pursued advanced Sanskrit studies through the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, in academic collaboration with the University of Oxford.Since 1990, he has had a special interest in Kashmir Śaivism as revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo, especially the teachings on the Mātṛkācakra in the Parātriṃśikā Vivaraṇa and Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka.In his personal life, he emphasizes the integration of pauruṣa jñāna—direct experience through practice—and bauddha jñāna—intellectual study of the śāstras—both of which the Vedic tradition upholds as essential for realizing one’s universal nature.
