Global Country of World Peace
is the model of ideal administration
 

Provides knowledge of total Natural Law to promote
prevention-oriented, problem-free administration

“Our knowledge is for everyone who wants
to stop suffering—and enjoy life in affluence”

(February 3, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi presented his Global Country of World Peace as the practical model of ideal administration and announced that Vedic knowledge—the supreme science and technology of total Natural Law—is now available to create coherent world consciousness and a healthy, wealthy, and wise family of nations.

“Our approach to successful administration is as simple as lighting a lamp to eliminate darkness,” Maharishi said. “Our approach is based on prevention—on educating people to rise to higher states of consciousness so their every thought and action will be supported by the evolutionary power of total Natural Law. Then every individual will enjoy mistake-free life and every nation will enjoy prevention-oriented, problem-free administration.”

Maharishi’s proclamation came during his global news conference on Wednesday, January 28, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

The Global Country of World Peace

The Global Country of World Peace was founded on October 7, 2000, to create permanent world peace through the knowledge and application of total Natural Law, which administers the universe with perfect order. Under the parental leadership of His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, the Global Country of World Peace is bringing enlightenment to every individual, invincibility to every nation, and peace to the world through:

• Establishing Peace Governments with large peace-creating groups in 108 countries to enliven total Natural Law and promote coherent national consciousness—the basis of national invincibility

• Building 3,000 Peace Palaces—Capitals of the Global Country of World Peace—in the world’s largest 3,000 cities to offer the knowledge of total Natural Law to raise the whole population to higher states of consciousness

• Training top leaders in every nation as Administrators of the Global Country of World Peace to quietly create harmony and coherence in the collective consciousness of society through the knowledge of total Natural Law.

“No government should have the right to punish its people”

Maharishi said the need for administration through total Natural Law is urgent in today’s problem-ridden world, and he had strong words for governments that use punishment against their own citizens who commit a crime. “No government should have the right to punish its people,” Maharishi said. “Education is the responsibility of government and if the people have not been educated to behave properly, then that is the failure of government.”

Administration through education

Maharishi said that the solution is “administration through education”—education that develops the full potential of all people of all cultures, religions, and nationalities. “Educators today do not know the potential of the human mind, intellect, and ego,” Maharishi said. “That is why the Global Country of World Peace is establishing in every country Vedic Universities to give to the people the knowledge and experience of their own infinitely expanded Self—Atma—the field of total Natural Law within. Then people will know how to handle themselves so that they won’t create problems for themselves or for others.”

Maharishi added that if a government continues to punish its people, it should either change its ways or else be replaced. “Bring in the Peace Government, which is in the hands of noble, enlightened people—scientists, doctors, lawyers who are expert in the administration of total Natural Law—who know how to rule without punishment,” Maharishi said.

“Everyone has to make a choice”

Maharishi concluded by declaring that every individual and every government now has to make a choice. “The knowledge of total Natural Law—the light of God—is available to create a peaceful world. So everyone has a choice: Either take the knowledge and begin to enjoy life in peace and abundance—or leave it and continue in destruction and suffering. There is no other choice,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi offers heads of state formula
to fulfill parental role of government

Groups of Vedic pandits and Vedic education in the schools
will prevent problems in the nation

“When it is simple to live in the light,
why suffer in darkness?”

(February 9, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi offered to all heads of state a simple, scientifically proven formula to fulfill their parental role in the nation by preventing problems and bringing affluence and peace to the people through the knowledge of total Natural Law.

Maharishi called for governments to establish in their countries large groups of peace-creating Vedic pandits to enliven total Natural Law—which administers the universe with perfect order—to prevent negativity from arising in the nation. Maharishi also called for Vedic education to be offered in every school, college, and university. Such education, Maharishi said, will enliven the infinite creative potential of total Natural Law—the Unified Field—within the Self of every student for a life free from mistakes and problems. 

Maharishi’s offer came during his global news conference on Wednesday, February 4, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

“What more can I do for my people?”

“Government always has a parental role in the nation—to give people what they need to enjoy life,” Maharishi said. “In his quiet moments, every head of state thinks, ‘What more can I do for my people?’ No head of state wants his people to suffer or face punishment. He is like the parent who provides warm clothes for his children before winter arrives or turns on the light before darkness sets in. Every head of state can now fulfill his parental role for the nation by creating prevention-oriented, problem-free administration through the knowledge of total Natural Law.”

Vedic performances to neutralize negative influences coming to a nation

Maharishi said a nation’s destiny is shaped by the past actions of the people. And that is why, Maharishi said, governments should engage groups of Vedic pandits. “Through Vedic performances, such as Grahashanti and Yagyas, the Vedic pandits will neutralize the negative influences coming back to a nation from the past wrong actions of the people. Then the government will not have to encounter problems anywhere in the nation,” Maharishi said.

Vedic pandits must be paid properly

Maharishi emphasized that the Vedic pandits must be paid properly so they are able to maintain their daily routine and perform Grahashanti and Yagyas without the concern of earning money. “Then they will be effective in creating a positive influence in society,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi also announced that a group of Vedic pandits is now being established in India. “It won’t be long before every government engages groups of Vedic pandits to prevent any wrong from coming to their nations,” Maharishi added.

Administration through education

In response to a reporter’s question, Maharishi said that his Global Country of World Peace—and its affiliated Peace Governments in 108 countries—have been established to serve as an example of prevention-oriented, problem-free administration for the world. (For more information, please visit www.globalcountry.org.) Maharishi said that administration will be through education—education that develops higher states of consciousness by awakening the infinite creativity of the Self in the life of every student. “Then their thinking and behavior will be supported by the evolutionary power of total Natural Law, and no one will create problems for himself or for others,” Maharishi said.

“No one in our dear world family should ever suffer”

Maharishi concluded by emphasizing that his message of “administration of total Natural Law” is the same message that has been proclaimed generation after generation. And the intention is the same as well—that no one in the world should suffer. “Now the knowledge and procedures are available for everyone of every age and every language and every religion in every country to enjoy life in affluence and peace,” Maharishi said. “So we are fondly offering this knowledge to all governments because we feel that the world is our family—and when it is simple to live in light, then why should anyone suffer in darkness?”

(February 16, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi revealed to heads of state a “great secret” of successful administration: Government buildings should be properly designed and oriented to the east according to Vedic architecture in harmony with Natural Law. Such buildings, Maharishi said, will promote in every government leader thinking and behavior in accord with Natural Law to prevent the chaos, conflict, and failure of administration in every country.

Maharishi’s announcement came during his global news conference on Wednesday, February 11, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Maharishi defined Vedic architecture—Sthapatya Veda—as a great science of life and one of 40 approaches of Vedic science to promote life in accord with total Natural Law—the Unified Field—which administers the universe with perfect order. “Sthapatya Veda provides the knowledge to connect the individual with his cosmic potential,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi cited the health problems associated with modern architectural design and construction— “sick building syndrome”—and explained that the orientation of a building has a profound influence on the thinking and behavior of the occupants. Maharishi said there are simple rules of Sthapatya Veda that must be followed to ensure a happy, healthy life, including the direction of the entrance of a building, the slope of the land, the location of water on the land, etc.

 “If these rules are not followed, the thinking of the people will not be in accord with the evolutionary direction of Natural Law—and they will create problems for themselves and others,” Maharishi said. Maharishi then added, “The architect who designed a capital building in a country may be renowned, but if the orientation—vastu—is crooked, it will produce problems for the government.”

Maharishi added that government leaders have been unable to understand—much less adopt—his simple message of how to create world peace because they are working in an improper vastu, which clouds the thinking process. “Government leaders may be well meaning, but nothing in government will succeed until the vastu is corrected,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi said that education is responsible for all such problems because it fails to provide the knowledge of proper orientation through Sthapatya Veda. The solution, Maharishi said, is for governments to offer Vedic education in their schools, colleges, and universities.

“Total Natural Law is engrained within the Self—the Atma—of everyone,” Maharishi said. “Vedic education—including the knowledge of Sthapatya Veda—cultures the intellect, mind, senses, and speech so that every impulse of the individual is supported by total Natural Law. We are offering to every government prevention-oriented, problem-free administration through Vedic education. This will give to every individual and every nation command over total Natural Law—the light of God—for a mistake-free life in invincibility, affluence, and peace.”

In response to a press question about the influence of proper—or improper—vastu on an individual, Maharishi said, “It is very real. It is as real as when the sun rises and darkness disappears—or when the sun sets and everything is dark.”

Training Administrators of the Global Country of World Peace

and establishing Peace Palaces and Vedic Universities

Maharishi also announced that he is training Administrators of his Global Country of World Peace to quietly bring coherence and harmony to the world through the knowledge of total Natural Law. In addition, Maharishi said, his Global Country of World Peace is establishing for these Administrators 3,000 Peace Palaces, built according to Sthapatya Veda in every major city around the world. Each Peace Palace will be home to 100 to 200 peace-creating Yogic Flyers and to a Vedic University, which will offer the knowledge of total Natural Law for the whole population to rise to higher states of consciousness.

“Take it and enjoy, or don’t take it and suffer—the choice is yours”

Maharishi concluded by emphasizing that life is not meant for suffering. “Those who want to suffer can do so—but those who don’t want to suffer can utilize our programs to enjoy a better life,” Maharishi said. Then Maharishi added a final message to government leaders: “With the knowledge of total Natural Law, you can create a perfect government and a perfect human race. For that, Sthapatya Veda is very necessary for every government in every country. Take it and enjoy, or don’t take it and continue to suffer. The choice is yours.”

Peace Governments will create
a happy, prosperous, unified world

Groups of Yogic Flyers and Peace Palaces in
every country will raise national administration to
the perfection of the administration of the universe

“It doesn’t matter how long darkness has existed
because we know how to light the lamp.”

(February 23, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed that his Peace Governments are on the right path to quickly achieving their goal of a happy, prosperous, unified world. For this, Maharishi said, Peace Governments are establishing groups of peace-creating Yogic Flyers in every country and building Peace Palaces in every major city to raise the whole population to enlightenment through the knowledge of total Natural Law.

“It doesn’t matter how long darkness has existed because we know how to light the lamp. That is why we are confident that no one will ever have to live in darkness again,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi’s proclamation came during his most recent global news conference on Wednesday, February 18, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Administering society through total Natural Law

Maharishi said that his Peace Governments will administer society with the support of the silent, eternal administration of total Natural Law, which governs the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding universe, from point to infinity, in an evolutionary direction. “By engaging total Natural Law—the Constitution of the Universe—it is possible for every nation in our dear world to enjoy the same perfection in administration as the administration of the universe.”

Groups of Yogic Flyers to improve national administration

Maharishi said that groups of Yogic Flyers will improve national administration. “Governments are deeply influenced by the quality of collective consciousness. To improve national administration we just have to increase coherence in national consciousness. That is why we are establishing in every country groups of a few hundred to a few thousand Yogic Flyers who will enliven total Natural Law and create coherent collective consciousness. This will make every system of government— monarchy, dictatorship, democracy—successful,” Maharishi said.

The number of Yogic Flyers in a nation required to create coherent collective consciousness will depend upon the size of the country’s population.

Vedic education to enliven total Natural Law in every student

Maharishi also announced that his Peace Governments are establishing 3,000 Peace Palaces in the world’s largest cities. The Peace Palaces will be centers for Vedic universities, colleges, and schools, which will provide Vedic education to enliven the infinite creative potential of total Natural Law in the thought, speech, and behavior of every student for a mistake-free, problem-free life.

In contrast, Maharishi dismissed today’s education as “appalling” because it provides only a tiny fragment of the knowledge of total Natural Law through the study of physics, chemistry, physiology, etc.—and thus wastes the cosmic potential of the student.

“It is easy and delightful for any student to enliven total Natural Law within his own self-referral consciousness. However, it is a rather strenuous and difficult process—and not satisfying to anyone—to gain only partial knowledge of Natural Law. It is like a billionaire who is only given a small amount of money to spend in the market—he will never be satisfied,” Maharishi said.

“Be kind to your children and educate them fully”

Maharishi called on educators to provide Vedic education in their schools. “It is a great joy to offer this knowledge to everyone irrespective of any differences that may exist between us—language, culture, religion, or system of administration—because such differences do not matter. We can present this knowledge in the language of any science, any religion, or any culture. So be kind to your children and educate them fully,” Maharishi said.

A few people are enough to create a world of good citizenship

Maharishi concluded by acknowledging that his offer may be difficult to understand for those who have endured a lifetime of inadequacies in education, health care, agriculture, defense, etc. “We are talking about perfection when everything in the world is inadequate. So we accept that we may be either misunderstood or understood by just a few fortunate people in the world. But fortunately, those few people are enough for us to create a world of good citizenship,” Maharishi said. “So we invite as many people to come with us as quickly as possible, and we will create a bright sunshine of enlightenment for every individual and a brilliant good fortune for the world—now and for all generations to come.”
