Research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program is found to provide experimental evidence for the Vedic description of human psychology and the growth of higher states of consciousness, as contained in the Bhagavad-Gita. In particular, the known effects of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program are shown to verify three concepts that are central to the Vedic Psychology of the Bhagavad-Gita: the existence of the experience of transcending; the growth of the qualities of enlightenment as a result of this experience; and the nature of the transcendent as a universal `field' of consciousness.
