Maharishi
urges every individual to
wake up to the light of God within!
“Transcendental Meditation
is the only hope
for this barbaric world”
Calls on governments, religious
leaders,
and the wealthy to establish in every continent
groups of 1,000 to 2,000 peace-creating
experts world
Live Internet webcast at
www.globalcountry.org
(April 6, 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi denounced today’s conflict-ridden world as “cruel and barbaric” and
said that God’s precious gift of human life is being “abused and wasted
in ignorance.” Maharishi said the only hope is for everyone to “wake up
to the light of God within themselves through the universal practice of
Transcendental Meditation.”
Maharishi then
invited governments, religious leaders of all religions, and the wealthy
to establish in every continent groups of 1,000 to 2,000 people
practicing Transcendental Meditation together and probing deep into the
holy scriptures of their own religion to spread the light of God and
create peace on earth—everything that is there in the text of every
religion.
Maharishi’s
pronouncements came on Wednesday during his weekly global news
conference, which was held at the Capital of the Global Country of World
Peace in Meru, Holland. Maharishi’s next news conferences will be held
on April 9 and 10 and will be broadcast live via satellite, Internet
webcast, and teleconference call.
The only hope for a better world
Maharishi
described the infinite potential of human life and contrasted it with
the current pitiable state of religion, politics, economics, education,
medicine, and defense. “It’s not worth living in today’s world,”
Maharishi said. “The only hope for a better world is on the individual
level. We are offering every individual the knowledge of the almighty,
omnipresent reality of life—the light of God—which is beyond the
boundaries of space and time. And we are offering Transcendental
Meditation so that everyone can experience the light of God within
themselves on the basis of the holy scriptures of their own religion—and
spontaneously radiate this light around them.”

Leaders have failed to deliver on their promises
Maharishi rebuked
government, health, and economic leaders for failing to deliver on their
promises to bring the world out of problems, sickness, and poverty.
Maharishi said that religious leaders have also failed to deliver on
their promise to bring the light of God to the people.
“Where is the
light of God? It is hidden within everyone. It has to be brought to
human awareness,” Maharishi said. “It is like a house that is wired for
electricity, but if you don’t press the button you remain in darkness.
Inside everyone is the light of God, which is the goal of seekers of all
religions. Fortunately, it is easy for everyone to realize this
omnipresent light of God through Transcendental Meditation and Yogic
Flying.”
Groups of 1,000 to 2,000 on each continent to radiate the
light of God
Maharishi then
addressed the threat of global conflict and said that conventional
approaches, such as negotiations and treaties, have failed to prevent
war.
“Peace is not
based on words. The only way to create lasting peace is to enliven the
light of God in world consciousness,” Maharishi said. “Here is a clarion
call to governments, religious leaders, and the wealthy: Practice my
peace programs and gather groups of 1,000 to 2,000 people in every
continent. My teachers will train the people, in their own language, how
to be effective by accessing the transcendental field of life. Then
these groups will spontaneously enliven the light of God in their own
consciousness and in the collective consciousness of the world.”
“Wake up or remain as you are”
Maharishi concluded the news conference by
challenging everyone to make the right choice—and not waste their life.
“Wake up or remain as you are—the choice is yours, and life is yours,”
Maharishi said. “It does not take much time for you to dive deep within
yourself to that transcendental field through Transcendental Meditation.
Then you will enjoy the light of God—and radiate harmony and happiness
to the whole world. Then you will be a guiding light of peace on earth.” |

Maharishi
pledges to raise the
world to permanent peace
Inaugurates Parliament of
World Peace in New York
to bring light of peace to all governments
“We have the knowledge to create
peace—
it must soon be applied on a large enough scale
to produce tangible effects”
Live Internet webcast at
www.globalcountry.org
(April 14, 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed anew his
firm resolution to raise the world to permanent peace through the
complete knowledge of Natural Law—the light of God—which administers the
infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order. And Maharishi
inaugurated the Parliament of World Peace in Livingston Manor, New York,
to bring this light of peace to all individuals, organizations, and
governments throughout the world.
“There are no
obstacles on our path,” Maharishi declared. “We have the scientifically
validated knowledge and programs to create peace. It is now just a
matter of applying it on a large enough scale so that peace and harmony
are enjoyed by everyone in our dear world.”
The Parliament of
World Peace will soon start training peace-creating experts in different
countries in local languages.
Maharishi’s
pronouncements came during his weekly global news conference on
Wednesday, April 9, and during his global inauguration of the Parliament
of World Peace on Thursday, April 10. Both events were broadcast live
via satellite and Internet webcast.

Administrative center of world peace
Maharishi
announced that the Parliament of World Peace will serve as an
administrative center of world peace and a place of pilgrimage for
peace-loving people around the world. It is being established on a
beautiful 400-acre site with a 300-room facility on Lake Shandelee in
the Catskill Mountains. The knowledge and programs of the Parliament of
World Peace will reach the world through a permanent global satellite
and Internet network of television and radio broadcasts.
The five-hour
grand inauguration featured in-depth presentations on Maharishi’s Vedic
science of consciousness and its applications to prevent problems in all
areas of society, and can be watched at www.GlobalCountry.org.
Presentations included a special address by His Majesty Raja Raam, First
Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, as well as speeches by His
Majesty’s Cabinet of Ministers and other leading scientists and
educators.
Unity in diversity
During the news
conference and the inauguration, Maharishi explained that his confidence
in creating a bright new future for the world is based on (1) the
scientific discovery of the Unified Field of Natural Law—the field of
unity that underlies all diversity in the physical universe; (2) the
scientifically proven effectiveness of his Vedic technologies of
consciousness to enliven this field of unity in the self-referral
Transcendental Consciousness of every individual; and (3) the extensive
scientific research showing that when individuals practice these
technologies together in groups, a powerful influence of coherence and
harmony spreads throughout the whole population, neutralizing negative
trends and promoting peace and harmony in society.
“It is possible
for us to create a permanent state of world peace in which the diversity
of every nation will breathe life in the unified wholeness of the
Unified Field of Natural Law,” Maharishi said.
Groups of peace-creating experts
To create
permanent world peace, Maharishi is establishing on all continents
groups of 8,000 peace-creating experts in his Vedic technologies of
consciousness, including a larger group of 40,000 experts in India. In
addition, Maharishi is establishing 3,000 Peace Palaces in the world’s
largest 3,000 cities, each of which will be home to 100 to 200 experts.
“It won’t take much time, because just a few people are needed to become
peace-creators and carry the load for the whole population of the
world,” Maharishi said.

Global Country of World Peace
Maharishi
explained that for nearly 50 years he focused on bringing enlightenment
to millions of individuals around the world through his Transcendental
Meditation technique—and now many people are rising to Unity
Consciousness, the supreme level of human development. Then, two years
ago, Maharishi established his Global Country of World Peace to set up
an example of administration for people in higher states of
consciousness and to bring the effect of positivity, harmony, and peace
to every government.
“The current
administration of every country—in education, health care, economy,
defense, agriculture—is ineffective and childish because it is based on
man-made constitutions with their inherent human weaknesses and
failings,” Maharishi said. “We established the Global Country of World
Peace as an ideal system of administration that is based on the
Constitution of the Universe, which promotes the evolution of everyone
and everything, from point to infinity, in the ever-expanding universe.
The Global Country of World Peace will engage this supreme organizing
intelligence of the universe to bring success to every government and
create prevention-oriented, problem-free administration in every
country.”
Ideal administration for all generations to come
Maharishi emphasized that only the Global
Country of World Peace will be suitable to administer a world in which
the whole population is destined to enjoy Unity Consciousness. “Such
enlightened individuals will spontaneously engage total Natural Law—the
light of God—in their every thought, speech and action, so they won’t
make mistakes and create problems for themselves or for others,”
Maharishi said. “This is the world we are going to create now through
the Parliament of World Peace. This is the ideal administration that the
world is going to enjoy for all generations to come.” |

Good
news for all peace-loving people
Funds
being raised to establish a group of
16,000 peace-creating experts in India
Global influence of coherence
will create basis for lasting world peace
Donations should come in
time
to save “a beastly world”
Live Internet webcast at
www.globalcountry.org
(April 21, 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed that with
a pinch it is possible to establish a permanent group of 16,000
peace-creating experts in India. Their collective practice of Vedic
technologies of consciousness will create coherent world consciousness
and lay the foundation for harmony in the family of nations.
“Now is the time
to ring the bell of ‘Eureka’ for a bright new future for mankind,”
Maharishi said.
Maharishi’s
dramatic proclamation came on Wednesday, April 16, during his weekly
global news conference, broadcast live via satellite, Internet webcast,
and teleconference call.
“It is not a democracy—it is a dictatorship”
At the same time,
Maharishi had strong words of condemnation for U.S. government leaders
and their military offensive in Iraq. “You ignore the United Nations and
world opinion. You kill whom you want to kill because you have weapons.
This is not a democracy—this is a bloody dictatorship. I say plainly:
‘Damn the democracy.’ Remember what happened to Hitler and all the other
invaders. This is going to happen to you and your country.
America today is a wild, beastly
civilization.”
However,
Maharishi assured the press, “Whatever it is, it is our world, and we
are going to improve it. We just need a few peace-creating groups here
and there and we will have a better world. We light a few lamps and
light will be everywhere.”

Support from a few generous donors funds the 16,000 group
Maharishi’s
announcement of funding for the 16,000 group comes after appealing to
the wealthy to create a $1 billion world peace endowment fund for a
permanent group of 40,000 experts in India. “Now, with a pinch, there is
enough money for about 16,000 experts. This is a modest start for
creating world peace,” Maharishi said. He added that a philanthropist
could step forward at any time with more money to employ more experts to
make the group bigger and intensify the coherent influence in world
consciousness.
Maharishi’s program to create permanent world peace
Maharishi’s
program to create permanent world peace calls for a group of 40,000
peace-creating experts practicing Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation
and Yogic Flying in India and additional groups of 8,000 experts in
every other continent. Maharishi’s plan also calls for the establishment
of 3,000 Peace Palaces in the world’s largest 3,000 cities, each of
which will be home to groups of 100 to 200 peace-creating experts.
“Through their daily performances, these groups will enliven total
Natural Law in collective consciousness—and support the administration
of every country with the administration of Natural Law, which governs
the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order.”
Extensive
research, published in the world’s leading scientific journals, has
shown that groups of these peace-creating experts can promote harmony
and peace in the world consciousness.
Proper education will create world peace
Maharishi said,
“Every government has schools, colleges, and universities to educate the
growing generation. By adding one period a day in the study of
consciousness and the practice of Transcendental Meditation to develop a
student’s full brain physiology, the whole country will rise to coherent
national consciousness.”
Maharishi said that coherent collective
consciousness is the key to creating prevention-oriented, problem-free
administration and lasting world peace. “With coherent national
consciousness, people won’t quarrel with each other and create problems
for themselves or for others. With coherent national consciousness, all
the good religious values, such as ‘help thy neighbor,’ will
spontaneously blossom in the behavior of everyone. This is
‘administration through education.’ This is the basis of a bright new
future for our dear world,” Maharishi said. |

Maharishi’s
message to government leaders
Consciousness-based education will create prevention-oriented,
problem-free administration
Schools should add one class a
day
in Transcendental Meditation—
Students will develop their full brain physiology,
promote coherent national consciousness
Live Internet webcast at
www.globalcountry.org
(April 29, 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi declared that every
government will create prevention-oriented, problem-free administration
when its educational system adds one class a day for students to rise to
higher states of consciousness pleasantly and naturally through
Transcendental Meditation, which develops the brain physiology. The
coherent influence generated by the students’ daily practice of
Transcendental Meditation will promote coherent national consciousness
and prevent the problems and conflicts that grip every nation.
Maharishi’s
declaration came on Wednesday, April 23, during his weekly global news
conference, broadcast live via satellite, Internet webcast, and
teleconference call.
Culturing the full brain physiology through
consciousness-based education
“Instead of
providing students with employment-oriented education, governments
should provide consciousness-based education, which cultures the full
brain physiology to function in every thought, speech, and action,”
Maharishi said. “Then every thought will be projected in an evolutionary
direction by total Natural Law, which administers the infinite diversity
of the universe without a problem. Then there will be no frustration, no
stress, and no problems for any government because every desire will be
fulfilled by higher intelligence of Natural Law, the Will of God.”

Transcendental Consciousness is a field without
boundaries
Maharishi
explained that the full brain physiology is enlivened only during the
experience of Transcendental Consciousness. “Transcendental
Consciousness is a self-referral field of unbounded intelligence that is
deep within everyone. It is a delightful experience of harmony and
freedom. Only this abstract experience, gained during Transcendental
Meditation, enlivens the full brain physiology. Otherwise, as
neuroscientists tell us, the brain is only partially used during
ordinary mental and physical activity.”
The effectiveness
of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation has been validated by nearly 50
years of experience teaching the technique to millions of people
worldwide, as well as by hundreds of scientific studies documenting its
benefits in all areas of life.
Everyone born on earth has the natural ability
to develop their total brain physiology
“Everyone born on
earth has this natural ability,” Maharishi said. “It is so simple to
develop the total brain physiology. It only needs one class per day—half
the class will be spent in the practice of Transcendental Meditation and
the other half in the study of the Science of Consciousness, which
includes the textbooks of modern science, the textbooks of all
religions, and the Vedic literature of total Natural Law.”
Maharishi said that when students utilize their
total brain physiology they will create coherent national consciousness,
which is the basis of successful administration. “It does not matter
what the system of administration is, it will be successful when
individuals are using the full creative potential of their brain
physiology and creating coherent national consciousness. Then every
nation will enjoy prevention-oriented, problem-free administration,”
Maharishi said. “That is why we hope parents and government leaders will
quickly incorporate consciousness-based education in every school,
college, and university so that soon we can have a happy, harmonious,
unified society in our dear world.” |
