His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has proclaimed that "with a pinch" it is now possible to go ahead and establish a permanent group of 16,000 peace-creating experts in India. Their collective practice of the Vedic technologies of consciousness will create coherent world consciousness and lay the foundation for harmony in the family of nations.

Maharishi answers questions on Yogic Flying, the parliament of peace, the sars epidemic, and other topics

News brings you some of the key questions and answers from Maharishi’s most recent global press conferences

Charles Cunningham gives TM News an exclusive report on a new business networking group in Kingston.

Each meeting begins with the members sitting silently for 20 minutes TM. Only then does the business of the evening proceed, and in a rather warmer yet livelier way than one would expect at the end of a working day.

One participant, Martin Creese, has offered TM to the staff of his design and marketing company for 20 years. "They do a better job and are happier," he says emphatically. "TM has given me an experience and understanding of the power we all have deep inside."

As the community is Skelmersdale completes its 23rd year, a steady stream of people are moving there and having their expectations more than fulfilled. Sidhaland director, John Collins, catches up with half a dozen new members.

A tennis pro and a neuroscientist deliver a proven formula for effortless athletic success Don’t try to sell top tennis coach Lawrence Eyre on the wisdom of "no pain, no gain". That principle is obsolete, he says. It ignores well-established scientific findings about the human brain and physiology.

In this latest issue of TM News we keep you up to date with the most recent artist’s impressions of the four smaller options for the Peace Palaces, which could be suitable in different local situations, and plans to finance the Peace Palaces.

Yearly Yogic Flying competitions have been held around the world since 1987 to demonstrate the progress of the Sidhas in gaining mastery over Natural Law through Maharishi’s TM-Sidhi programme. The media and leaders of society have often been invited to these events to help bring out the power of Maharishi’s unique technology of consciousness to create world peace.

TM News keeps you up to date with news of Maharishi’s organisation from around the world:

Christchurch – New Zealand The former Christchurch home of Sir Geoffrey Palmer and the Labour Party headquarters has now become the first Peace Palace in New Zealand. A group of local residents have bought the facility to provide educational and health programmes and space for group meditation

"Interest is already high. We've been overwhelmed with the response," said Guy Hatchard, for the group. [Guy is a former director of the Maharishi European Sidhaland, Skelmersdale – Ed.]

Lexington, USA The new 20,000 sq. ft. Peace Palace in Lexington, Kentucky, set on 11 acres at the University of Kentucky's Coldstream Research Campus, is built according to the peace-promoting design principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda – Vedic architecture in harmony with Natural Law. This is the second of the 192 Peace Palaces planned for the USA to be completed

During a five-hour global satellite broadcast, Maharishi inaugurated the "Parliament of World Peace", which has its headquarters at Livingston Manor, New York State, USA. The Parliament represents a key component of Maharishi’s global plan to end all conflict and wars and create a permanent state of world peace.

Dr John Hagelin, presidential candidate for the Natural Law Party of the USA in 2000, has announced that his party will be fielding at least 500 "peace candidates" in the forthcoming US federal, state and local elections in 2004.
