Maharishi’s declaration to world leaders:

"We can prevent all problems of every government"

Invites governments to contract with
his Global Country of World Peace to create
prevention-oriented, problem-free administration

Pledges results within six months

(31 December 2002) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi declared the readiness of his Global Country of World Peace to handle all problems plaguing every government and create a problem-free, prevention-oriented administration in every nation – and he pledged results within six months.

"Prevention-oriented administration will mean your government will be so competent and successful that no negativity will sprout in the life of your nation," Maharishi announced in his New Year’s message to world leaders. Maharishi invited heads-of-state to contract immediately with his Global Country of World Peace so that they do not have to confront crime and conflict in the coming year.

Maharishi’s declaration came during his recent weekly global news conference. The next news conferences will be held on Wednesday, 1 January, and Thursday, 2 January 2002. The news conferences will be broadcast live via satellite, Internet webcast, and teleconference call. Questions will be fielded by Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace and by the Honourable Robert Wynne, Mayor of the Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, USA.

Engaging "Higher Intelligence" to prevent problems

Maharishi said that the Global Country of World Peace will provide the scientifically validated knowledge and technologies to engage "Higher Intelligence" to prevent all problems of administration.

"Higher Intelligence – Total Natural Law – administers the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order. Here is the model of an eternally stable, prevention-oriented, problem-free administration, which we are now offering to create in every country, so that no government has to face problems and no one born on earth has to suffer anymore," Maharishi said.

Government is an appalling failure

Maharishi urged the world press to bring his offer to government leaders. He said that the need is obvious and urgent: "Government in every country is an appalling failure. No matter what system, whether it is monarchy, democracy, or dictatorship – everywhere there is sickness and suffering, crime and conflict. And this is because no government has the knowledge of how to prevent problems." But then Maharishi added, "Maybe government leaders are not aware that the scientific knowledge exists to create a prevention-oriented administration. This knowledge is now the expertise of the administration of His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace."

Two components to Maharishi’s offer

Maharishi’s offer to create ideal administration includes two main components:

1. incorporating in the schools, colleges and universities in every country his "Consciousness-based approach to education" to develop the full brain potential and higher states of consciousness of every citizen "so that everyone lives spontaneously in accord with Natural Law – and no one makes mistakes or creates problems for themselves or for others"; and

2. as a "short-cut" to the goal of problem-free administration, establishing a Peace Palace in the nation’s largest cities with a population of over 100,000. Each Peace Palace will be home to a coherence-creating group of 100 to 200 experts in Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying. A total of 3,000 Peace Palaces will be built in the world’s largest 3,000 cities, including 51 in the UK. In addition, Maharishi’s World Peace Plan calls for establishing throughout the world several large groups of 8,000 experts, including a larger group of 40,000 experts in India.

Extensive research, published in leading, peer-reviewed scientific journals during the past 30 years, has demonstrated that these coherence-creating groups effectively neutralise the acute societal stress and tensions that fuel problems and conflict, promoting peace and harmony in the whole society.

"These small groups in a country will be enough to purify the collective consciousness, and create coherence and harmony, in the whole nation," Maharishi said. "This is our strength. Even a few small candles will light up a big hall. Even a few small coherence-creating groups will create coherence for the whole nation."

Fulfils the parental role of governments

Maharishi said that the Global Country of World Peace will bring fulfilment to a government’s parental role to prevent problems in the nation. And it will not conflict with, or usurp, the responsibilities of any existing government. Maharishi added that the Global Country of World Peace has enough experts to train the governments of 200 nations simultaneously. "The Global Country of World Peace is a highly respected, charitable organisation throughout the world. Soon there will be a long list of government contracts with the Global Country of World Peace."

"Don’t delay in contracting with the Global Country of World Peace"

Maharishi concluded by emphasising that the long legacy of problems in the world has no bearing on the present. "The fact that a room has been in darkness for a thousand years is no excuse if there is electricity available today. The fact that crime has existed for a thousand years is no excuse if there is a solution to crime today. Forget about the past – the times are different today. The knowledge is available to prevent crime, to prevent sickness, to prevent conflict – to prevent all problems," Maharishi said. "My advice to government leaders is this: ‘Don’t be afraid to adopt new scientific knowledge – and don’t delay in contracting with the Global Country of World Peace. Do it today, because who knows whether there will be a tomorrow for world peace?’"
