to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation programme.

war and creating immediate-and permanent-peace in the world. Maharishi
is calling for the establishment of a group in India of 40,000 experts
trained in ancient Vedic technologies of defence to neutralise the acute
tensions and fears gripping the world today. Maharishi is also calling
on successful visionary leaders to create an endowment fund to fund
this urgently-needed group on a permanent basis.
