Salutatorian Chirl Dawn Saylor addresses the Class of 2026 at Maharishi International University, opening with the Sanskrit phrase she carried through her entire journey: Yogastha Kuru Karmani, established in being, perform action.
She shares how she arrived at MIU almost by accident after decades of study in consciousness, psychology, and the healing arts, and how the university gave her not new knowledge but embodiment: the difference between knowing something and being it. She reflects on the Bhagavad Gita course that resolved a decade-old question about the householder path, her health transforming from the inside out, and Maharishi's vision of living 200% of life, complete inner silence alongside full engagement with the world. She closes with a tribute to her daughter Dakota, her companion through every step.
