MEDIA ADVISORY
HOW 3,000 GROUPS OF YOGIC FLYERS
WILL STOP GLOBAL TERRORISM AND WAR
If violence begets violence, can peace beget peace?
An international news conference with
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Wednesday, 7 August 2002, 4:00 p.m. UK time (BST)
(Details how to connect - see below)

If violence begets violence, can peace beget peace - and end global
terrorism and war?
"Yes, absolutely," says His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the
worldwide Transcendental Meditation organisation. "And we have 50 years of
experience, extensive scientific research, and the most recent discoveries
of science to prove that it can."
Perhaps more importantly, considering the violence escalating in the world
today, Maharishi has launched a bold plan to put the research and theory
into practice on a global scale - and create world peace. Maharishi is
establishing 3,000 Peace Palaces, one in each of the world's largest 3,000
cities, including 51 in the UK, to serve as "lighthouses of coherence". In
each Peace Palace a group of 100-200 people will practise Transcendental
Meditation and Yogic Flying to eliminate acute social stress - which fuels
violence, crime and war - and promote harmony and peace for the world.
Maharishi says the logic for the plan is simple: "World peace rests on
individual peace - there is no other way. It is very dangerous for government
leaders to think that weapons of destruction will ever create peace. These
weapons produce exactly what their name says they produce - destruction."
On Wednesday, 7 August, Maharishi will hold a global news conference to
answer questions about his plan to create world peace and explain the
mechanics of how Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying can reduce
stress and produce peace in the individual and in the whole world.
