Subject: New Administrator Training Conference to begin February 23

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi extended a warm and open invitation to all governments and well-wishers of humanity to participate in a new Raja Training Conference to train Administrators of his Global Country of World Peace. The Raja Training will begin on the full-moon day of February 23 at the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Maharishi said the Rajas will be trained to harness from within their own Self the Constitution of the Universe—which administers the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order—to quietly bring enlightenment to every individual and invincibility to every nation, and create permanent world peace in the family of nations.

Maharishi also announced that His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, is presiding over a grand coronation ceremony to crown the newly trained Administrators from the first Raja Training Conference. The coronation ceremony is being celebrated from February 7 to 13 at the highest point in Holland.

Maharishi issued his historic pronouncements during his global news conference on February 2, which was broadcast live on all continents via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace. Maharishi will hold his next news conferences on February 9 and 10.

Maharishi said the Raja Training comes after 50 years of success of his worldwide movement—and "rings the bell of eureka" for the good fortune of all mankind. "Now is the time to present to the world competent leaders who are trained in the total knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe, which promotes the evolution of everyone and everything—both holistically and individually—in the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding galactic universe," Maharishi said. "The Rajas will actualise from within their own Transcendental Consciousness the Constitution of the Universe so that every aspect of the daily life of the individual and nation will always be in full accord with Natural Law. They will transform the destiny of mankind from a history of human errors and weaknesses to a new era of divine excellence in the light of Total Natural Law—the light of God."

Maharishi invited large numbers of people to be trained—people from every background from every country who are financially self-sufficient and who aspire to be in the highest echelon of leadership in the world. In addition, Maharishi issued a special invitation to governments to send their representatives. "The government does not have to search for the wisest people to send for Raja Training because through this training everyone will return to his country as an expert administrator who will promote prevention-oriented, problem-free administration and bring invincibility, dignity, and honour to the nation," Maharishi said.

Maharishi said the Raja Training Conference will be offered in all languages and will utilise instant means of communication, such as the Internet, so that the training can be held worldwide. (For more information and to apply for the Conference, please visit www.globalcountry.org.)

In response to a press question, Maharishi explained that the Raja Training will be unlike any other training because Rajas will not be trained in particular fields, such as business or agriculture. Instead, the Rajas will be trained in the unbounded field of Being—the Constitution of the Universe. "In the same way as a gardener waters the root to nourish the whole tree, the Rajas will enliven the field of Being from within their own Self to promote the evolution of everyone—both collectively and individually," Maharishi said.

In this way, Maharishi said, the Rajas will fulfil their parental role for the nation and satisfy all the people. "The billions of desires of the millions of people in the country can only be fulfilled by a ruler who is established in the silent field of Being—the basis of all knowledge and dynamism in the universe. The Raja alone has the power to achieve everything from within himself," Maharishi said.

Maharishi said the benefits from the Raja Training will go first and foremost to the Raja himself. "The Rajas will rise to the peak of human potential—Unity Consciousness—and will enjoy all-time bliss within themselves," Maharishi said. "There will be no end to their joy on the individual level and no end to their authority on the collective level."

Maharishi concluded by saying that the Raja Training is the fulfilment of the dream of the wise throughout the ages. "Here is the supreme knowledge which is beyond all imagination," Maharishi said. "It is a miracle that bestows enlightenment on the individual and gives him the capability to radiate invincibility to the nation. In all humility, we say this is the gift of the light of God—the gift of our master, Guru Dev, and the tradition of Vedic masters. And we say to all the competent people in the world: ‘Come and enjoy—make hay while the sun shines. Take recourse to this training and be the lighthouse of Total Natural Law for your family, your community, your nation, and your world.’"
