Main stories in the September issue
INVINCIBILITY RISES IN AMERICA, FLOWS TO THE WORLD
On 23 July, at Maharishi’s request, Yogic Flyers began assembling in Washington DC and in Fairfield, Iowa, to promote invincibility in America and permanent world peace.
Dr John Hagelin, Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace, explained: "As the number of Yogic Flyers increases…the world press will have more and more good news to report from America. The Government will enjoy greater success. Peace and prosperity will reign, and violence and conflict will subside completely, as America rises to become a lighthouse of coherence and invincibility for the world."
Our report details the highlights of how the coherence-creating effect of the course – the global Maharishi Effect – became evident in national and world events during the summer, including the unexpectedly successful leadership role taken by the US in ending the conflict in Lebanon, and the booming confidence displayed in US stock markets – a reliable indicator of national mood – as the numbers of Yogic Flyers increased.
‘"WE ARE HITTING THE CORE OF THE UNIVERSE" – MAHARISHI
The September issue begins with Maharishi’s comments on the significance of the Invincibility Courses around the world. Speaking to the world press on 9 August, and delighted by the profound experiences reported by course participants, Maharishi said: "We are hitting the core of the universe – the very core of the universe - the tender intelligence on which the universe is held."
Maharishi reiterated that it will not take a long time for the complete transformation of the world. The press should watch out, he said, for all the changes that will be occurring day by day from now on, and record how quickly the history of negativity is changing to all positivity.
Our report on the Invincibility Courses also includes personal experiences from participants, and details of course locations and how to apply.
INDIA SETS THE PACE FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH
As a fitting conclusion to the global Guru Purnima celebration in July, His Excellency Dr Girish Varma, Director General of the World Capital of Peace at the Brahmasthan (centre) of India, presented the achievements of the Global Country of World Peace in India. These extraordinary achievements include the training of another 35,000 Yogic Flyers in July; the acquiring of an additional 500 acres of land at the Brahmasthan of India and the expansion of the groups of Vedic pandits there; Peace Colony designs concluded for each district capital of India, with land acquired in many; plans to cultivate over 100,000 acres of agricultural land to fund 24,000 Pandits at the Brahmasthan of India; a report on the thriving Maharishi Corporate Development Programme in India; and individual expressions of gratitude from 50,000 members of Maharishi educational institutions around India.
TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION REDUCES THE BRAIN’S REACTION TO PAIN
A study in the latest issue of the journal NeuroReport shows that regular practice of Transcendental Meditation enables the brain to cope better with pain. We detail the findings and implications of this study, conducted by Dr David Orme-Johnson at the University of California at Irvine and funded by the US National Institutes of Health. The findings have received a lot of attention, with over 1,000 media articles on the subject appearing in the US and around the world within 24 hours of the results being publicized.
MAINTAINING OUR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTEGRITY
Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, the science of architecture in accord with Natural Law, includes detailed guidelines on how to construct Fortune-Creating Buildings that promote health, happiness and success for the occupants. In this context, great care is taken to protect the occupants from any kind of harmful influence or damaging radiation – for example by avoiding proximity to power lines, mobile phone or TV masts, radon contamination, underground running water, or even faults in the earth’s crust. In this context of the effect of radiations on the human physiology, we are grateful to Ryan Warne for supplying this article on the damaging effects of mobile phones.
200% OF LIFE IN JERSEY
All those wanting to attend a residential TM course closer to home, will welcome our feature on the courses run for Meditators and Sidhas by Pat Stone in the beautiful setting of the Beausite Hotel in Jersey. Warmly recommended by participants, the next course is on 13-16 October and will also offer the opportunity to consult special guest Dr Donn Brennan, one of Europe’s most experienced experts in Maharishi Ayurveda. People from the UK wishing to learn Transcendental Meditation may also do so with Pat Stone on Jersey or the Isle of Man.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH MAHARISHI
Each month we feature questions and answers from Maharishi’s recent global press conferences. Questions featured this month are: What will it take for people to demonstrate mastery over Natural Law and actually fly through the air during Yogic Flying?; Why do people have deeper experiences of the Unified Field in a group?; and, What does Maharishi mean by the nature of time changing, and what has made it change?
MAHARISHI’S VEDIC APPROACH TO HEALTH: USING MOTHER NATURE’S GARDEN TO CREATE PERFECT HEALTH
In his regular monthly column, Dr Geoffrey Clements this month reflects on Maharishi’s Vedic Approach to Health, explaining the remarkable dynamics of interaction between the intelligence in the Vedic herbs and our own physiology. "When the herbs are ingested," says Dr Clements, "there is a natural resonance between their intelligence and the corresponding level of intelligence in the physiology. This creates the health-giving effect."
