(August 23, 2004) Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed “a dawning new sunshine for the destiny of mankind in the light of total Natural Law, the light of God,” with the historic appointment of His Highness Raja Dean as the Raja of Washington, D.C., and the grand inauguration of Raja Dean’s Royal Residence in the U.S. capital at the Jefferson.

“His Highness Raja Dean will create an ideal atmosphere of harmony and permanent world peace. This will supply the missing feature of administration in the political arena of our dear world,” Maharishi declared during his August 18 global news conference. “He will bring the silence of the Unified Field, which administers the universe with perfect order, into the dynamism of administration that dominates governments today. The result will be a perfect model of administration that eliminates the age-old weaknesses and problems of every government,” Maharishi said.

Dr. John Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist and President of the US Peace Government, praised His Highness Raja Dean as deeply established in the silence of the Unified Field and said that his presence in Washington will peacefully anchor America’s chaotic national administration to the ideal administration of the universe—the supersymmetric union of dynamism and silence—to promote peace and harmony for the nation and the world.

Maharishi will hold his next news conferences on August 25 and 26, which will be broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Inauguration of the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace
heralds the next step forward in the fulfillment of democracy

Maharishi heralded the inauguration in Washington as the next step forward in the fulfillment of the democratic system. “Democracy means that everyone should be satisfied with the government. That means people who want to fight are allowed to fight, and people who want to be in peace are allowed to be in peace,” Maharishi said. “The Peace Government is a complementary government that will bring satisfaction to everyone who is dissatisfied with the destructive tendencies of the existing administration.”

Distributing Vedic knowledge to every government and every area of human concern

Maharishi said that Vedic knowledge—total knowledge of the Unified Field—will be distributed to every government and every area of human concern through the Vedic University to be established soon by His Highness Raja Dean. “His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, scientifically demonstrated that the entire physical universe is just the expression of the Unified Field—the field of consciousness—within the Self of everyone,” Maharishi said. “This precious gift of Vedic knowledge to mankind will prevent all problems, raise the whole population to perfection, and create permanent world peace now—and for all generations to come.” 

Peace Government to create a steady wave of peace to calm conflicts

In answer to a press question about how a nation, such as the United States, which is deeply divided by political differences, can become truly united, Maharishi said that his Peace Governments will provide the solution. “The Peace Government will create a steady wave of peace so that conflicts do not arise and competing tendencies naturally calm down,” Maharishi said. “Just as darkness naturally disappears with the onset of light, so, too, opposition and negativity will naturally disappear with the rise of the influence of peace and harmony in collective consciousness.”

Maharishi explained the mechanics of this transformation. “Members of the Peace Government will quietly contact the transcendental field—the field of absolute peace—within their own self-referral consciousness every morning and evening in their own homes,” Maharishi said. “Through the power of attention, these members will stir the transcendental field and enliven the influence of peace in the thought, speech, and action of the whole population. As they rise to higher states of consciousness, the destructive, problematic trends of lower states of consciousness will simply not appear.”
