His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi announced this week that his Vedic universities throughout the world will offer a training program for governments to raise their nations to invincibility through the science and technology of Total Natural Law, which administers the vast diversity of the ever-expanding galactic universe with perfect order.

"Now, every government can gain the knowledge and techniques to bring to the nation the support of the invincible power of Total Natural Law—the Constitution of the Universe, the Will of God," Maharishi said. (Visit our website at www.MaharishiUniversity.org.)

Maharishi announced the new training program during his February 23 global news conference. The announcement was then published in the International Herald Tribune on February 24 and in other major newspapers around the world. Maharishi will discuss the training program and answer questions from the press during his next global news conferences on March 2 and 3, which will be broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Maharishi emphasised that every government is invited to participate in the training—whether the government is based on democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, communism, or any other system of administration. "The Invincibility Course is open to those already in government and those who want to be in government. Patriotic social, religious, and economic leaders are also invited for the training. They will rise to enlightenment themselves while creating invincibility for their nations," Maharishi said.

Maharishi identified manmade constitutions as the basic cause of all failures of governments today—and throughout history. "Governments are ruled by manmade constitutions," Maharishi said. "But no manmade constitution can ever be free from human weaknesses and human failings. And that is why administration is unsatisfactory in every country."

"The only salvation," Maharishi said, "is for every government to have the science and technology of the most ideal, cosmic administration of the universe—the knowledge and practical techniques to gain the support of Natural Law in the national consciousness of the country."

Maharishi emphasised that no military can safeguard the nation. "The fact is that no military can truthfully say today that it can save the country. Times have changed—governments are invited to face the facts. Neither their military power, nor their allies who are out to destroy the world, can save the nation through weapons and destructive means of defence," Maharishi said. "Readiness to die and to kill the enemy is no guarantee of safety and security for any nation."

Instead of depending on the military, Maharishi said, every government is invited to take recourse to "this new royal, divine knowledge to raise the nation to invincibility—to quietly and effectively ban the birth of an enemy inside or outside the nation."

The Invincibility Course will be held at Maharishi Vedic Universities in Europe, North America, India, and throughout the rest of the world. However, at the request of a government, the course can be held in any country—and can be held under the auspices of the government.

Maharishi also invited every government to contract with his Vedic university to establish a group of a few hundred to a few thousand Yogic Flyers in the country to create coherent collective consciousness, the basis of invincibility for the nation. The number of Yogic Flyers required depends upon the size of population of the country. "Just as the government gives contracts to experts for building bridges, roads, electric power lines, etc., it can also contract with our University to build invincibility for the nation," Maharishi said.

Maharishi concluded by announcing that the second Raja Training Conference for Administrators of the Global Country of World Peace is now under way at Maharishi Vedic University in Holland. "The Rajas are being trained to function on the self-referral level of Transcendental Consciousness—the Constitution of the Universe," Maharishi said. "Functioning from that unmanifest level, the Rajas will ensure that the whole country will be governed by Total Natural Law. Then individual and national life will always be in the evolutionary direction."

As a result, Maharishi said, the Rajas will create a Royal Union of Invincible Nations. "With this, the world is going to be Heaven on Earth," Maharishi said.
