The TM organisation is hierarchically structured.
The world government of the 'kingdom of peace' for the era of enlightenment with its headquarters, which was at first located in Maharishi Nagar near New Delhi, is at the top.
Below this level function individual TM organizations or their national associations, which have changed organizationally over time, and are currently available in the form of various organizations, foundations and political parties.

Educational institutions that rely on Maharishi's doctrine are, The Maharishi University of Management (MUM) (formerly Maharishi International University, MIU) and the Maharishi European Research University (MERU, Switzerland and the Netherlands) as well as the Meru-MVU.
The original MUM-campus was located in Goleta, California, and in 1974 moved to the current 370-acre campus in Fairfield, Iowa. During the 1990s many older buildings were demolished and replaced using green technology and the principles of ancient Vedic architecture.
In the 1980s the TM movement's US national offices and the Maharishi International University College of Natural Law were located in Washington D.C. five blocks from the White House (at first in the old Annapolis.Hotel). However, attempts to contact the US government failed miserably ("Worldgovernment of the age of enlightenment, Invincibility etc.....).
From 1981 to 1987 this was also the location for the organization's "administrative headquarters" for North America as well as for a national organization of 6,000 American medical doctors who practiced TM, a private school, a clinic, and a TM meditation center.
In 1979, the MERU Foundation acquired (after several unsuccessful tries to get a german area at the other side of the border) the former College of St. Ludwig (that they tored down) near the Dutch town of Vlodrop near the german border and expanded the headquarters of the TM movement there and created buildings based on the Maharishi Vastu architecture.

In Germany, the movement is via the Samhita GmbH in Bissendorf, which represents the financial interests of the organization and the 'Gesellschaft für Transzendentale Meditation, Deutscher Verband e. V. ', with seat in Bremen, which distributes TM technology and represents TM teachers. In addition, the center in Erfurt gained influence.
6. In India, the organization maintains a network of private elementary schools (Maharishi Vidya Mandir). The Maharishi College of Natural Law was established in Orissa India in 1982 and was supported by donations from Maharishi Institute of Creative Intelligence (MICI).
7. In Cambodia, it maintains three campuses of a Maharishi Vedic University (MVU): agricultural-oriented facilities with the faculties of medicine, agriculture and management.
8. In South Africa, too, the organization now operates since 2007 several centers under the leadership of the Maharishi Invincibility Institute in Johannesburg, South Africa.
9. The USA school center is located in Fairfield (Iowa).
The organization operates the satellite TV and webcast station Maharishi Channel - Maharishi Open University (2016: stopped - now with abo), which was broadcasting five multilingual programs. [53] [54]

Meru-mvu, founded there, is located near Roermond on the German border. After 2000 Vlodrop was his mean seat. But besides he dwelled often in Fairfield (Iowa).
