Maharishi Mahesh Yogi inaugurated the New Year by launching a global program to establish Maharishi Vedic Universities, Colleges, and Schools in 3,000 cities throughout the world. Maharishi said the new Vedic educational institutions will offer the knowledge and practical programs to actualize the Constitution of the Universe—the Unified Field—in the daily life of every individual and every nation to create permanent world peace.

“The Constitution of the Universe administers the universe with perfect order,” Maharishi said. “Total knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe will create and maintain world order so that every individual enjoys enlightenment and every nation enjoys invincibility. This new knowledge will create a new human race.”

Maharishi’s proclamation highlighted the grand, global January 12 celebrations to inaugurate 2005 as the “Year of the Golden Jubilee of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Worldwide Movement.”

Maharishi presided over the ceremonies at the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland, with His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, along with His Majesty Raja Raam’s Administrators—Rajas—and Cabinet Ministers. The celebration featured the recitation of peace-promoting Vedic sounds—the fundamental frequencies of the Unified Field—by Vedic pandits in India.

Maharishi will speak about his global program to establish Vedic universities, colleges, and schools throughout the world during his next global news conferences on January 19 and 20, which will be broadcast live on all continents via satellite and Internet webcast.

Maharishi Vedic University to provide total knowledge
of the Constitution of the Universe through 18 faculties

Maharishi said the new Vedic universities, colleges, and schools will provide the total knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe through 18 faculties to make the knowledge of every area of life complete. “Great, secret details of the Constitution of the Universe—the Unified Field—to bring life into full accord with Natural Law are available only in the Vedic literature, not in the modern physical sciences,” Maharishi said.

These 18 faculties are (1) education, (2) health, (3) agriculture, (4) management—business and industry, (5) architecture, (6) law and order, (7) invincibility, (8) music and arts, (9) science and technology, (10) public administration, (11) astrology and astronomy, (12) language, (13) world peace/world politics, (14) economics, (15) computer science, (16) communication, (17) engineering, and (18) religion.

Maharishi emphasized that total knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe cannot be gained through lectures and discussions alone. “The Constitution of the Universe is beyond human intellect,” Maharishi said. “It is on the transcendental level of Being. It is unmanifest, eternal, beyond relativity, and not subject to change. Vedic literature provides the practical programs, including Transcendental Meditation, its advanced techniques, and Yogic Flying, for everyone to actualize the Constitution of the Universe in daily life.”

Maharishi said the 18 faculties taken together will actualize for every student the 18 fundamental areas of the Constitution of the Universe. “These 18 fundamental areas are contained in the Vedic literature and inscribed in human physiology—and have been discovered through scientific research by His Majesty Raja Raam,” Maharishi said. “Every week, every student will go through all these areas of knowledge for their theoretical and practical values. This is how the Constitution of the Universe will become a living reality in the daily life of everyone so that the whole human race will always remain in the evolutionary direction of Total Natural Law—the Will of God.”

Study of the Constitution of the Universe will be blissful

In response to a press question, Maharishi said that the study of the Constitution of the Universe will be blissful—unlike the stressful task students face in modern education. “The study and experience of the Constitution of the Universe will be in terms of waves of bliss—not in terms of hard work,” Maharishi said. “There will be no stress and no strain. Enlivening all possibilities in the Constitution of the Universe will be a joy from beginning to end.”

Maharishi also said that particular emphasis will be placed on establishing Vedic universities, colleges, and schools in India. “The world needs a strong Vedic India for a strong Vedic world,” Maharishi said. “A strong Vedic world will be a world of Total Knowledge—a world free from mistakes and failures.”

Maharishi concluded by proclaiming a bright future for the world: “We have the knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe, and we are establishing Vedic universities, colleges, and schools everywhere to bring this knowledge to the whole population and fulfill the Vedic aspiration: enlightenment to every individual, invincibility to every nation—and all good to everyone in the light of almighty God,” Maharishi said. “For this we say, ‘All glory to our master, Guru Dev, and the tradition of Vedic masters, and glory to the administrator of this beautiful new world, His Majesty Raja Raam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace.’”
