Maharishi Pledges to Move Faster
to Create Permanent World Peace
Appointment of 108 Rajas
Will be Announced during
Global News Conference on Sept. 1
“The time of problems for both rulers
and the ruled will soon be over”
(August
30, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi pledged to move
faster to transform today’s problem-ridden world into a world of
permanent affluence and peace, and said that his first step will be to
appoint 108 Rajas as administrators of his Peace Governments around the
globe. Maharishi will announce the new Rajas during his next global news
conference on September 1.
“We have the key to open the door of a bright
new destiny for all mankind,” Maharishi proclaimed during his August 25
global news conference. “Now, I want to reduce the time it takes to turn
the key. In the next global news conference, I will announce the 108
Rajas who will impart to the whole population the knowledge of total
Natural Law so people do not have to face problems, sickness, or
suffering now or in the future.”
Maharishi said his announcement came in
response to the “silent, humble, positive desire” by Dr. John Hagelin,
President of the US Peace Government, for Maharishi and His Majesty Raja
Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, to move faster
in creating a world of affluence and permanent peace.
The Raja has a parental role for all the
people of the nation
Maharishi said the Rajas will
have a parental role—loving, caring, and supporting—for all the people
in every nation. “The Raja is the custodian of total knowledge, and he
will make total knowledge the guiding light of the nation so that
everyone is always healthy, wealthy, and wise,” Maharishi said.
Democracy is a wretched system
of administration
Maharishi said Rajas are needed
to quietly administer society because democracy has proven to be a
wretched system of administration. “Democracy is a failure,” Maharishi
said. “The national integrity of every country is shattered by
opposition within every government. It is a barbaric system that should
be thrown out. And the way to throw it out is to quietly bring in the
light—quietly create coherent national consciousness—to establish peace,
prosperity, order, and affluence in the nation.”

Maharishi also denounced the
negative impact that the constant turnover in government leadership has
on the lives of the people. “Consider what would happen if a child
changed his parents every four years. The same thing happens to the
people of a country when their president is changed every four years
through this bad system of democracy,” Maharishi said.
Maharishi to train the Rajas
in the skill of ideal administration
Maharishi announced that he will
train the Rajas in the skill of ideal administration. “Administration
should promote evolution,” Maharishi said. “The Unified Field promotes
the sequential evolution of everyone and everything, from point to
infinity, in the ever-expanding universe. This sequential flow of
evolution is the skill of administration of the Government of the
Universe. The Rajas will enliven the Unified Field in individual and
collective consciousness to raise every national government to this
supreme level of administration of total Natural Law. Then fulfillment
and harmony will prevail in individual life and coherence and peace will
prevail in national consciousness.”
Rajas must have total
knowledge and live in a proper home
Maharishi emphasized that the
economic status of the Rajas—whether they are rich or poor—is not a
consideration in his program to create permanent world peace. What is
important, Maharishi said, is that the Rajas are rich in the knowledge
of total Natural Law and live in a proper home. “The Rajas must have
total knowledge lively in their awareness and radiate that totality in
their thought, speech, and behavior,” Maharishi said. “The Rajas must
also live in proper homes—Peace Palaces—that have been constructed
according to Vedic architecture in harmony with Natural Law. Then
their cosmic desires will be supported by the almighty power of Natural
Law, and the whole world family will rise to a bright new fortune of
prosperity and peace.”
“This is a practical, proven
program to create
a world of happiness and fulfillment”
Maharishi concluded by announcing
that the Rajas will establish in every country Vedic universities,
colleges, and schools to apply total knowledge in every area of
society—education, health, agriculture, economics, defense, politics,
administration, and architecture and city planning. Maharishi said these
educational institutions will provide the principles and practice of
total knowledge to every student. “The result will be enlightened
citizens of every nation and permanent world peace,” said Maharishi, who
then added strongly, “This is not a fanciful idea—this is a practical,
proven program to create a world of happiness and fulfillment for all
times to come.” |

His Highness Raja Dean
Appointed as Raja of Washington, D.C.
Grand Inauguration of
Raja Dean’s Royal Residence
Celebrated in the U.S. Capital City
“His Highness Raja Dean will bring the influence of the
Constitution of the Universe in the manmade constitutions of
governments”—Maharishi
(August 23, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi proclaimed “a dawning new sunshine for the destiny of
mankind in the light of total Natural Law, the light of God,” with the
historic appointment of His Highness Raja Dean as the Raja of
Washington, D.C., and the grand inauguration of Raja Dean’s Royal
Residence in the U.S. capital at the Jefferson.
“His Highness Raja Dean will create an ideal
atmosphere of harmony and permanent world peace. This will supply the
missing feature of administration in the political arena of our dear
world,” Maharishi declared during his August 18 global news conference.
“He will bring the silence of the Unified Field, which administers the
universe with perfect order, into the dynamism of administration that
dominates governments today. The result will be a perfect model of
administration that eliminates the age-old weaknesses and problems of
every government,” Maharishi said.
His Excellency Dr. John Hagelin, a
world-renowned quantum physicist and President of the US Peace
Government, praised His Highness Raja Dean as deeply established in the
silence of the Unified Field and said that his presence in Washington
will peacefully anchor America’s chaotic national administration to the
ideal administration of the universe—the supersymmetric union of
dynamism and silence—to promote peace and harmony for the nation and the
world.
Inauguration of the Capital of
the Global Country of World Peace
heralds the next step forward in the fulfillment of democracy
Maharishi heralded the
inauguration in Washington as the next step forward in the fulfillment
of the democratic system. “Democracy means that everyone should be
satisfied with the government. That means people who want to fight are
allowed to fight, and people who want to be in peace are allowed to be
in peace,” Maharishi said. “The Peace Government is a complementary
government that will bring satisfaction to everyone who is dissatisfied
with the destructive tendencies of the existing administration.”

Distributing Vedic knowledge
to every government and every area of human concern
Maharishi said that Vedic
knowledge—total knowledge of the Unified Field—will be distributed to
every government and every area of human concern through the Vedic
University to be established soon by His Highness Raja Dean. “His
Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace,
scientifically demonstrated that the entire physical universe is just
the expression of the Unified Field—the field of consciousness—within
the Self of everyone,” Maharishi said. “This precious gift of Vedic
knowledge to mankind will prevent all problems, raise the whole
population to perfection, and create permanent world peace now—and for
all generations to come.”
Peace Government to create a
steady wave of peace to calm conflicts
In answer to a press question
about how a nation, such as the United States, which is deeply divided
by political differences, can become truly united, Maharishi said that
his Peace Governments will provide the solution. “The Peace Government
will create a steady wave of peace so that conflicts do not arise and
competing tendencies naturally calm down,” Maharishi said. “Just as
darkness naturally disappears with the onset of light, so, too,
opposition and negativity will naturally disappear with the rise of the
influence of peace and harmony in collective consciousness.”
Maharishi explained the mechanics
of this transformation. “Members of the Peace Government will quietly
contact the transcendental field—the field of absolute peace—within
their own self-referral consciousness every morning and evening in their
own homes,” Maharishi said. “Through the power of attention, these
members will stir the transcendental field and enliven the influence of
peace in the thought, speech, and action of the whole population. As
they rise to higher states of consciousness, the destructive,
problematic trends of lower states of consciousness will simply not
appear.”
“Very soon the world press
will have only good news to report”
Maharishi concluded by announcing
that his Rajas will soon open 12 Time Zone Capitals of the Global
Country of World Peace around the world. Maharishi also said that Vedic
universities, colleges, and schools are now being established throughout
the world to offer total knowledge to the whole population. In this way,
Maharishi said, the Global Country of World Peace will create Raam
Raj—life in Unity Consciousness in a permanent state of world peace.
“Total Natural Law—the light of God—is rising in the world, and a new
sunshine of perfection is dawning for all mankind,” Maharishi said.
“Now, with the inauguration of the Capital of the Global Country of
World Peace in Washington, very soon the world press will have only good
news to report.” |

“No
military
can save your nation—
prevention is the only way”
Maharishi
offers Vedic defense to raise every
nation to invincibility and create permanent world peace
“Two thousand years of
suffering is enough”
(August 16, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi this week dismissed
as “senseless and ineffective” destructive weapons and other offensive
military strategies used to defend a nation from attack—and declared
prevention to be the only way a government can safeguard its people. For
effective prevention, Maharishi offered government leaders the Vedic
approach to defense, which creates coherent national consciousness to
prevent the birth of an enemy either inside or outside a country’s
borders.
“Ask any president, prime minister, or military
commander, ‘Can you save your country?’” Maharishi said. “If he is
truthful, he will say ‘No.’ Then why is he enlisting the youth of his
country—giving them food and drink today—to die for the nation tomorrow?
It makes no sense.”
Maharishi made his pronouncements during his
August 11 global news conference, which was broadcast live via satellite
and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World
Peace in Meru, Holland.
Any nation can rise to invincibility by
enlivening the Unified Field
Maharishi said that any nation can rise to
invincibility by enlivening the invincible basis of life in the Unified
Field of Natural Law, which administers the universe with perfect order.
For this, Maharishi said, the Global Country of World Peace is
establishing groups of peace-creating experts in every nation—Yogic
Flyers—to enliven the Unified Field from within their own self-referral
consciousness to create an atmosphere of coherence in national
consciousness. “Then, no enemy will be born inside or outside the
nation,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi condemns countries that sell arms
Maharishi also condemned destructive powers
that sell arms to poor nations under the guise of promoting national
defense. “Countries that earn money selling arms are very cruel,”
Maharishi said. “Everyone knows selling arms is wrong, because killing
is always a sin. We want everyone to be saved from committing sin. That
is why we are establishing groups of Yogic Flyers in every nation to
promote a high level of coherence in world consciousness. Then no one
will be an enemy to anyone.”
Extensive published scientific research has
found that groups of Yogic Flyers create harmony and coherence in
collective consciousness, reducing negative trends such as crime,
violence, and war, and promoting positive social and economic trends
throughout society.
Yogic Flying demonstrates the power of the
mind over gravity
Maharishi explained the power of Yogic Flying
to create a peaceful world. “With a gentle thought from the Unified
Field—the field of gravity—the body immediately lifts up during Yogic
Flying. To whatever extent the body lifts up—six inches, one foot, five
feet—this is a clear demonstration of the power of the mind over the
force of gravity, which governs the huge galactic universe,” Maharishi
said. “With groups of Yogic Flyers everywhere enlivening total Natural
Law in world consciousness, it is no exaggeration to say that our world
is going to be a heaven for angels to enjoy.”
India should not run to America or Britain
for safety and security
In response to a press question, Maharishi
repeated his pointed challenge of last week to the President of India
not to align his nation with the “thorny bush” of America. “The
President of India should not run to America or Britain in the hope that
these destructive forces will save the country. He should promote
safety, security, and invincibility from within his own nation through
the ancient Vedic science that has been proven unfailingly effective by
modern science,” Maharishi said. “But science doesn’t mean anything to
America and Britain. For these countries, the Unified Field is just a
theoretical calculation of mathematical equations. They don’t see how
Vedic technologies can enliven the Unified Field to create peace. That
is why these countries keep on killing. Fortunately, world consciousness
is rising fast, so their treachery and cruelty will not have a
hold over the world.”
“Two thousand years of suffering is enough
for the world”
Maharishi concluded by announcing that Vedic
universities, colleges, and schools are now being established in every
major city to offer total knowledge to all areas of society and raise
the whole population to enlightenment. “Forget about what the world has
been in the past,” Maharishi said. “Very soon we will raise mankind
above problems. Two thousand years of suffering has been enough for the
world; but now should be the time to be awake.
“With the blessings of the tradition of Vedic masters, no one born on
our dear earth will ever have to suffer again.” |

Maharishi challenges the President of India:
“Can you save your nation
from an enemy attack?”
“If
the answer is “no”—then the President of India should join with the
President of the US Peace Government to create national invincibility”
(August 8, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi this week issued a pointed challenge to the President of India—the
world’s largest democracy—questioning whether or not the Indian
government is competent save its people from enemy attack. And if not,
Maharishi asked, what is the President prepared to do about it?
“As a citizen of India, I have a
right to respectfully ask my President: ‘With all the power that is
vested in you by the Constitution of India, can you truthfully say you
can defend the nation? And if not, are you prepared to learn something
new in order to protect your people?’” Maharishi asked.
The President of India,
Dr. Abdul Kalam, is a top physicist and
developer of India’s missile systems.
Maharishi invited the President to join with
Dr. John Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist and President of
the U.S. Peace Government, to create world peace. “I hear the President
of India is shaking hands with the destructive power of America—with
that ‘thorny bush,’” Maharishi said.
“I want the President of India to shake hands with the constructive
power of America—with Dr. Hagelin. Together, they can create
invincibility for their nations and build a beautiful platform of
permanent world peace. I have hope in
the President of India because he is vital, a brahmacharyi, a Purusha, a
celibate with a background in science.”
Maharishi issued his challenge to the President
of India—which he also extended to all government leaders—on August 4
during his global news conference, which was broadcast live via
satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of
World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Invincibility is only
available on the level of the Unified Field
In response to a press question
about what Dr. Hagelin will tell the President of India, Maharishi said,
“The President of India is a scientist who must know about the Unified
Field, which has been glimpsed by modern science and known by ancient
Vedic science throughout the ages. So, Dr. Hagelin will tell the
President something he already knows but perhaps has forgotten due to
the chaos of today’s world. Dr. Hagelin will remind the President of a
simple formula—that invincibility is available only on the level
of the Unified Field because that is the only level that cannot
be disturbed by outside influences. And Dr. Hagelin will tell him about
simple Vedic technologies that enliven the Unified Field, the Veda,
in human awareness to promote coherent collective consciousness—the
basis of invincibility for the nation and permanent peace in the world,”
Maharishi said.
Extensive published scientific
research has proven that groups of experts practicing Maharishi’s Vedic
technologies, including Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying,
create coherence and harmony in collective consciousness, thereby
preventing negative trends, such as crime, conflict, and war; and
promoting positive tendencies throughout the whole population.
Maharishi said that by joining
with Dr. Hagelin, President Abdul Kalam
can become a true president of India—“the land of the Veda”—and a
lighted lamp to guide the destiny of all mankind. Maharishi said he is
now awaiting the President’s response to his invitation.
Avert the danger which has not
yet come
In response to another press
question, Maharishi declared the Vedic approach to prevention to be the
only way to safeguard a nation from attack. “Follow the Vedic wisdom:
‘Avert the danger which has not yet come,’” Maharishi said. “Create
coherent national consciousness to transform the enmity of the enemy
into friendship. Then you will defeat the enemy in his own home—even
before he can think of raiding you.”
Maharishi said any government can
create coherence through Vedic technologies of the Unified Field. “Wake
up the invincible power of the the Unified Field—the Constitution of the
Universe—within the self-referral consciousness of the people, and then
no danger will come to the nation. It is easy for a nation to rise to
invincibility, but it is difficult for people to endure problems and
suffering,” Maharishi said.
“Don’t waste a moment—because
who knows what will happen tomorrow?”
Maharishi
concluded by emphasizing that his challenge is directed to all
government leaders who are searching for a way to safeguard their
nations. “We want every government to have this knowledge to create
coherent national consciousness. Then everyone in every nation will rise
above the reach of problems and enjoy peace, positivity, and affluence
now—and for all times to come,” said Maharishi, who then strongly
advised the government leaders: “But you must take action now. You must
light the lamp so you will not be wrapped in darkness. Don’t waste even
a moment—because who knows what will happen tomorrow?”

Maharishi
offers total knowledge
to raise every nation to invincibility,
fulfill the trend towards globalization
Condemns
destructive forces in the world for
dismantling his peace-creating groups in India
“The world
would have been at peace
10 years ago without these disruptions”
(August 3, 2004) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi offered to leaders of today’s problem-ridden world the parental
support of his Global Country of World Peace and the total knowledge of
Natural Law to raise every citizen to enlightenment and every nation to
invincibility—and bring supreme fulfillment to the trend towards
globalization rising in the world.
“We have in our possession today the total
knowledge of Natural Law to transform our world from the narrowness of
nationalism to the wide-open field of globalism,” Maharishi declared
during his global news conference on July 28. “And we have created the
Global Country of World Peace to serve as an umbrella to protect all
nations from the onslaught of today’s ‘heated’ chaotic atmosphere—and
make our world free from conflict, suffering, negativity, and war.”
Maharishi’s pronouncement was broadcast live
via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global
Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.
During the news conference, Maharishi also
condemned the destructive political forces that on three occasions have
forcefully dismantled his efforts to establish groups of 8,000
peace-creating Yogic Flyers in India. Maharishi said these destructive
forces opposed his global peace program on the basis of party politics,
inciting fear and violence, which caused the groups to disperse
overnight.
Maharishi targeted the U.S. and British policy
of “divide and rule” as fueling these destructive political forces
within India. “‘Divide and rule’ is a shameful policy that creates
divisions within a nation in the name of democracy so that the whole
country is split against itself with fights everywhere,” Maharishi said.
|
 |
Maharishi’s global peace program will
prevail
Maharishi said that without the dismantling of
his peace-creating groups, the world would have been at peace ten years
ago. However, Maharishi emphasized, despite such disruptions, his global
peace program will prevail—and Maharishi made clear that his efforts are
now under way for every country. “If even one nation remains
without peace, that nation will create a nuisance for the world
family—just as one little thorn throws the whole body out of balance,”
Maharishi said.
Establishing Peace Governments in 108
countries
and Peace Palaces in 3,000 cities
Maharishi’s global peace plan calls for the
immediate establishment of Peace Governments in 108 countries along with
3,000 Peace Palaces in the world’s largest 3,000 cities. Each Peace
Palace will offer courses in total knowledge for all areas of society to
raise the whole population to enlightenment. Each Peace Palace will also
be home to a group of 100 to 200 peace-creating experts whose collective
practice of Yogic Flying will promote coherent collective
consciousness—the basis of national invincibility. “Three thousand Peace
Palaces will be enough to maintain total Natural Law—divine
wakefulness—in the awareness of the people and raise every nation to
invincibility. Then every nation will enjoy the supreme level of
globalization, where no nation will lose its identity and every nation
will enjoy the strength of every other nation,” Maharishi said.
Scientific research shows that a group of
8,000 Yogic Flyers will create world peace
In response to a press question about how
group practice of Yogic Flying will create world peace, Maharishi
explained that his Yogic Flying technique opens human awareness to the
Unified Field of Natural Law—the unmanifest field of ‘nothingness’ that
administers the manifest universe. “Through the power of a gentle
thought during Yogic Flying, the individual mind commands the tremendous
force of gravity and the body lifts up in the air. From that
self-referral field of consciousness, which administers the universe
with perfect order, the individual is virtually the ruler of the
universe,” said Maharishi, who then explained: “One candle eliminates
the darkness close at hand, but many candles together create a flood of
light and keep darkness at a far-off distance. In the same way,
scientific research shows that 8,000 Yogic Flyers in one place is enough
to create an indomitable influence of coherence and peace for the whole
world.”
“We are ringing the ‘bell of invincibility’
for every nation—
now and for all generations to come”
Maharishi concluded by saying that the same
Unified Field glimpsed by modern science and sung by enlightened people
throughout the ages is now open to direct experience by everyone in the
world today. “Throughout the ages, sages and saints have written
beautiful songs, poetry, and prose about their experiences of total
Natural Law—of basking in the sunshine of the divine light of God. Now,
with the blessings of the Vedic tradition of masters, we are singing the
same eternal song of life—the same song that maintains the infinite
diversity of the universe in one unified wholeness. That is why we are
ringing the ‘bell of invincibility’ for every nation—now and for all
generations to come,” Maharishi said. |
