Subject: Maharishi to Inaugurate 'Practical Programs for Developing Higher States of Consciousness'

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Global Country of World Peace, will inaugurate his "Practical Programs for Developing Higher States of Consciousness" during a global news conference to be held on Wednesday, November 30. The news conference will be held on the fourth day of an eight-day series of conferences in Geneva, the city at the hub of international development and home to numerous international organisations.

The news conference will be broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Domaine de Penthes in Geneva. Maharishi will address the conference from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. The special new starting time for Maharishi’s press conference will be 7:00 p.m. (CET), 1:00 p.m. (USA ET), and 11:30 p.m. (India time.). See page 3 for details.

The 8-day series of conferences is launching several new organisations designed specifically to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness—good fortune and invincibility—to the people of every nation on earth. The theme of the conferences is "Celebrating the Dawn of a New Fortune for All Mankind"—bringing the support of the eternal light of the Cosmic Constitution for all nations to enjoy real sovereignty and invincibility.

The conferences began on Sunday, 27 November, with the inauguration of Maharishi University of World Peace—a new global University with its headquarters in Geneva and colleges in every country to bring the complete knowledge of Natural Law to every nation through Internet and satellite broadcasting.

The inauguration commenced with the invocation of Divine Intelligence through Vedic recitation, performed by expert Vedic scholars in India who will be connected to the conferences via satellite video link. The tradition of Vedic recitation has been proclaimed by UNESCO to be a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". By enlivening Total Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe, Vedic recitation radiates a purifying influence to the national anthems of our dear world.

The study of the physical sciences in the light of the ancient Vedic Science of Consciousness will be offered through Maharishi University of World Peace and its Colleges of World Peace in every country. Scientists at the Geneva conference, and other scientists addressing the conference from the USA and Europe via video link, are discussing how Maharishi University of World Peace will apply "Total Knowledge" to the fields of education, health, architecture, agriculture, politics, economics, communication, engineering, etc., to create a perfect man who will not make mistakes in his private or professional life.

Present at the conference, and also speaking via video link from other countries, are several Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country of World Peace. The Rajas and Ministers are now creating a new light of life for all mankind under the guidance of His Majesty Maharaja Nader Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, the most eminent scientist of this age who is renowned for his discovery of consciousness at the basis of the human physiology—proving that man is really Cosmic, administered by the evolutionary power of the Constitution of the Universe, the Veda, the common "heritage of all humanity".

The eight conferences in Geneva during the eight days of celebration together herald the dawn of a new fortune for all mankind. The Raja of Switzerland, Dr Felix Kägi, host of the conferences, is cordially inviting the leaders of the international community in Geneva to attend, and bring this new light of life to their countries.

On Monday, 28 November, the conference featured the inauguration of Maharishi Vedic University to establish Consciousness-Based Education in every country, separately for men and ladies. And on Tuesday, 29 November, the conference featured the inauguration of Maharishi Vedic Medical University to establish Vedic Medical Colleges in every country. The schedule for the remaining conferences include:
