He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

He is a follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and he was chosen by the United States Natural Law Party, which was inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as a Presidential candidate. In the 2000 Presidential election, Hagelin was also nominated by what saw itself as the core faction of the Reform Party, which disputed the nomination of Pat Buchanan. After a lengthy battle with the supporters of Buchanan, the Federal Election Commission ruled that Buchanan was the official candidate of the Reform Party and hence eligible for federal election funds.

In the 2004 primary elections, Hagelin endorsed Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich. When the national office of the Natural Law Party shut down in April 2004, Hagelin joined a movement called the US Peace Government.

Hagelin received a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth CollegeFor other places called Dartmouth, see Dartmouth . Dartmouth College is a four-year private liberal arts college in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA and a member of the Ivy League. Dartmouth was founded in 1769 by the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock and Samson Occum und in 1975 and a Masters of Arts (1976) and Ph.D. (1981) in physics from Harvard UniversityHarvard University is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and a member of the Ivy League. It was founded on September 8, 1636 by a vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making it the oldest post-secondary s, and was a researcher at CERNCERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest particle physics laboratory, situated on the border between France and Switzerland, just west of Geneva. The convention establishing it was signed on September 29, 1954. From the (the European Center for Particle Physics) and SLAC (the Stanford Linear AcceleratorThe Stanford Linear Accelerator Center SLAC is a U. national laboratory operated by Stanford University for the U. Department of Energy. Founded in 1962, it is located on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California. The main accelerator is a 3 kilometer long Center). He is currently Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of ManagementMaharishi University of Management (M. formerly Maharishi International University is situated in Fairfield, Iowa, occupying the campus of the now-defunct Parsons College. It provides consciousness based education, or education with the fundamental idea t, and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace.

Hagelin has published a number of peer-reviewed papers in particle physicsParticle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also called high energy physics because many elementary particles do not occur under normal circumstances in dealing with supersymmetryIn particle physics, supersymmetry is a symmetry that relates bosons and fermions. In supersymmetric theories, every fundamental fermion has a superpartner which is a boson and vice versa. Although supersymmetry has yet to be observed in the real world it and grand unification theory. The motivation behind his research is to demonstrate that there are deep connections between particle physics and the Transcendental Meditation program and the teachings of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, which are not generally accepted by the physics community.

Hagelin is responsible for a number of posters which illustrate his ideas on unifying physics and Transcendental Meditation.
