Maharishi promises
"Bright future for the world"
Says he will create world peace himself,
and no longer try to convince governments to adopt his programmes
Praises President Bush for his recent message of peace
(4 JULY) - His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi delivered a
compelling message of hope yesterday, promising that a "bright
future for the world lies ahead". And he announced that after
trying for 20 years to persuade governments to help, he is going
to create world peace himself.
Maharishi's comments came during a global news conference on
3 July, broadcast live via satellite, Internet webcast, and
teleconference from the World Capital of the Global Country of
World Peace in Meru, Holland.
Maharishi emphasised from the outset that his message of hope is
not based upon what the world is now, saying that from his point
of view "the world is in a mess", but rather what the world
will soon become through his programme to create peace.
Maharishi announced that he is now establishing throughout the
world several large groups of Vedic Pandits - "lighthouses of
coherence" - experts from India in the Vedic Science of reducing
social stress and creating harmony and coherence in world
consciousness.
"These groups will create peace by enlivening the deepest level
of Nature's functioning, the Unified Field of Natural Law, the
Will of God," Maharishi said. The largest group will be
established in India, which Maharishi described as the "home of
Total Natural Law in the world".
Maharishi said it will take only a small number of Vedic Pandits
to eliminate the negativity that is gripping the world, because
"in a big hall it only takes one bright bulb to eliminate the
darkness."
Man-made constitutions at the basis of global problems
Maharishi said the reason why the world is shrouded in problems
is because governments are administered by man-made constitutions
with their inherent human weaknesses and failings.
"Humanly conceived systems of administration will never be
ideal - there will always be problems, inadequacies, and
complications," Maharishi said. "This is the situation of all
governments today, whether dictatorship, monarchy, communism, or
democracy. They all have man-made constitutions and they all have
failed to create an ideal society."
And while Maharishi said that governments certainly have good
will to try and solve problems for their people, they lack
something far more important, something far more fundamental:
"They lack God's Will, which manages the evolution of everything
in the ever-expanding universe with perfection and without a
problem."
Natural Law is the Will of God
Maharishi said that Natural Law is the Will of God. "Throughout
time, God has been sung as the merciful God, almighty God. Where
is God's almighty constitution to guide human life? It is not on
earth. It is in the Transcendent, in the field of Total Natural
Law, which is the Pure Consciousness, or Atma, of everyone."
Maharishi said that his Vedic technologies of consciousness,
including Transcendental Meditation, its advanced techniques, and
Yogic Flying, enliven the field of Total Natural Law in the
awareness and the brain physiology of the individual. And,
through his Vedic Science of Administration, Maharishi said, it
is now possible for the field of Total Natural Law to be brought
to the level of the administration of the nation.
"Groups of Vedic Pandits will practise their Vedic performances
and radiate an invincible, unifying influence of peace and
harmony to neutralise negativity and disorder throughout the
world," Maharishi said.
Positive effects will be tangible
Maharishi also emphasised that when such a group is in a country
it will not interfere with the administration of the government.
"You can have your man-made constitutions to govern your
country," Maharishi said, addressing his remarks to government
leaders. "I will simply establish groups of people who will
radiate coherence, the Will of God, the light of coherence in
your country. They will not travel about; they will not preach;
they will just produce the effect."
The results will be immediate and tangible. "There will be less
crime, less killing, less war, less hatred, less fear," Maharishi
said. "This will be the hallmark of a new time dawning on earth."
Global Country of World Peace
To produce this peaceful effect throughout the world, Maharishi
founded his Global Country of World Peace in October 2000 as "a
country without borders for peace-loving people everywhere".
Maharishi's Independence Day message to America
Maharishi also delivered a message of support to President Bush
and the American people for their Fourth July Independence Day
celebrations.
"This is the day of freedom. The man-made constitution of the
United States will rise to the level of God-made constitution,
the Constitution of Natural Law, to administer the life of the
nation with perfect order," Maharishi said. "The United States is
a mighty country, and now it is rising in fatherly care to ensure
the coherence, peace, happiness, and affluence of the whole
world."
Maharishi also commented on President George W. Bush's recent
acknowledgement that he has been speaking too much of war lately,
when in fact, the President said, he is a lover of peace.
"I am comforted to hear that President Bush is realising that now
is the time to bring the message of peace, the message of light.
I congratulate President Bush on his very genuine feeling,"
Maharishi said.
