Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed this week that mankind has now entered the gate of a golden time of affluence and peace for everyone born on earth. And Maharishi called on the world press to provide him with the daily news of rising positivity around the globe now that his program is under way to create coherence in the collective consciousness of India and the whole world—the basis of permanent world peace.

“For 50 years I have been explaining how our programs will create enlightenment for the individual and invincibility for the nation through the science and technology of Total Natural Law,” Maharishi declared. “But the time for talk is over—now is the time for us to produce the effect.”

Maharishi’s historic pronouncement came during his April 13 global news conference, which was broadcast live to the press on all continents via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Each new candle increases light and decreases darkness

Maharishi’s program to create coherent collective consciousness includes training a large number of experts throughout India in the peace-promoting Vedic technologies of Transcendental Meditation, Yogic Flying, and Yagyas. Maharishi likened this process to adding candles in a darkened room. “With each new candle, the intensity of light increases and darkness decreases. Now we have to see how soon we can gather enough candles to eliminate all darkness,” Maharishi said.

Administration is worthwhile only if it promotes peace and harmony

Maharishi explained that “darkness” in the country is negativity in collective consciousness—which is at the basis of all problems, sickness, and suffering. “Negativity arises due to improper education, improper medicine, improper food, and improper administration. And the worst system of administration is democracy,” Maharishi said. “Administration is worthwhile only if it promotes peace and harmony. But the wretched system of democracy damages harmony—it is designed to create disorder through divisive party politics. It is government of the ignorant based on the votes of hooligans in the streets.”

Peace Governments will produce
ideal administration through Total Natural Law

In contrast to the widespread chaos and confusion of existing governments, Maharishi said that new Peace Governments are now being established in every country to promote prevention-oriented, problem-free administration. Maharishi said the Peace Governments are based on the transcendental level of Total Natural Law, which silently administers the universe with perfect order—and which cannot be disturbed by anything. The Peace Governments are being established by John Hagelin, Ph.D., world-renowned quantum physicist, President of the US Peace Government, and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace.

“Dr. Hagelin is inviting the world’s top scientists who have the knowledge of Total Natural Law to use their expertise to create ideal administration in their countries,” Maharishi said. “These scientists will utilize Vedic technologies to awaken cosmic intelligence within individual intelligence—to enliven Total Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe, in the self-referral consciousness of every individual and every nation. Then every government of every country—large or small—will enjoy the flawless administration of the Constitution of the Universe.”

India is the land of the Veda

Maharishi said he chose India as the first country to demonstrate the effectiveness of his program because India is one of the largest countries in the world and because India is the land of the Veda—the home of the Vedic knowledge of enlightenment and invincibility. “As Indian national consciousness rises in coherence—which is the basis of invincibility for the nation—then world consciousness will rise in coherence—which is the basis of permanent world peace,” Maharishi said

Maharishi emphasized that the global transformation should not take long. “One sun rises, but its innumerable rays spread light everywhere,” Maharishi said. “So it’s natural for the influence of coherence to spread from India to the whole world.”

Maharishi also explained that his program will be a success when the government of India rises to become an ideal Vedic government—impartial and equally nourishing to all. “Until then, we will move, little by little, in the direction of an ideal government. And as we do, all those childish principles of administration that have plagued governments and divided nations in the past will disappear as the light of coherence—sattwa—grows brighter and brighter in collective consciousness,” Maharishi said.

“Truth triumphs”

Maharishi concluded by citing the eternal Vedic principle: Satyam eva jayate—“Truth triumphs.” “For truth to triumph in today’s world, we just have to align ourselves with Total Natural Law—the light of God—the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent system of administration which governs the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order,” Maharishi said. “So now we will wait to hear from the world press—day after day and week after week—the good news of positivity rising in different parts of the world. Soon our dear world family is going to enjoy life in health, happiness, prosperity, and peace—everything good in life in the light of God.”
