Last week, in a bold and unprecedented announcement, Maharishi declared that he would create world peace on his own - and no longer seek government help. Today, Wednesday, 17 July, Maharishi will reveal details of his plan which involves the use of Vedic technologies of consciousness to create coherence and harmony in the collective consciousness of each nation and the world as a whole. He will also dismiss President Bush’s $40 billion security plan and Prime Minister Blair’s $53 billion increase in defence spending announced on Tuesday as a costly, ineffective and dangerous approach to dealing with conflict and terrorism.
