Maharishi Mahesh Yogi proclaimed this week that the “time of darkness in the world” is over and that the whole world family will soon enjoy the “brightness of the midday sun”—a time of permanent world peace, free from problems and conflict, when everyone will live in bliss and enlightenment.

Maharishi’s proclamation came during his global address for the inauguration of the new Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Washington, D.C. on November 12—the “Day of Awakening of Permanent World Peace” in the annual Vedic calendar. Maharishi spoke via satellite and internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Maharishi said the new Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Washington will be the center of Total Knowledge of Natural Law—the Constitution of the Universe—which governs the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order. From the new Capital of the Global Country of World Peace, Maharishi said, the Peace Government will promote perfect government—automation in administration—in America and every other nation in the world.

“Today, we are celebrating the awakening of the infinite potential of human life on earth—perfect harmony and infinite bliss within everyone,” Maharishi said. “Soon every individual will rise to enlightenment and every nation will rise to invincibility—and enjoy life free from problems, suffering, and fear,” Maharishi said.

Only the Constitution of the Universe
can bring satisfaction to all the people

Maharishi acknowledged the sincere efforts of governments throughout the world to promote problem-free administration. However, Maharishi said, their widespread failures are due to a misplaced dependence on manmade constitutions. “Manmade constitutions will never be able to satisfy all the needs of human life. Only the divinely inspired Constitution of the Universe—which promotes the evolution of everyone and everything, from point to infinity, in the ever-expanding galactic universe—will put all of life in the evolutionary direction so that everyone always enjoys bliss and fulfillment,” Maharishi said.

Public statements and attempting to
destroy the enemy will not help the nation

Maharishi dismissed government leaders who issue “grand public statements” about the safety and security of the nation—and rely on the military to safeguard the people—without producing any actual positive effect of peace in the country. “The only way to help the nation is to enliven the invincible field of Total Natural Law within the Self of everyone through Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying—and to establish groups of Yogic Flyers to create the light of coherence in national consciousness. This is the only way to help the nation—this is the only way to prevent the darkness of negativity from arising anywhere in the nation or the world,” Maharishi said.

His Highness Raja Dr. Dean Dodrill
presided over the inaugural ceremonies

His Highness Raja Dr. Dean Dodrill, Raja of Washington, presided over the inaugural ceremonies in Washington, D.C. Raja Dean was joined by His Highness Raja Bob LoPinto, Raja of Vedic Potomac, and the Rajas of five other domains of the Global Country of World Peace in the United States.

Dr. John Hagelin, President of the US Peace Government and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace, addressed the inaugural ceremonies via satellite from Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa. Dr. Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, spoke via satellite from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

“Soon, we will announce that the supreme programs of Total Natural Law will be delivered to the nation and the world from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Washington, D.C.,” Raja Dean said. “Students will be taught how to awaken the Constitution of the Universe within themselves. They will be like the sun with its enlightening rays spreading everywhere, touching everyone. They will show that human life is not meant to be lived in darkness.”

Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Washington, D.C.
is a fulfillment of 50 years of Maharishi’s worldwide movement

The inauguration of the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Washington comes as a fulfillment of Maharishi’s 50 years of bringing enlightenment to millions of people around the world through his Transcendental Meditation movement. “A half a century is not much time to transform millions of years of darkness—a time in world history that has been known as Kali Yuga. And now, with the blessings of our master Guru Dev and the eternal tradition of Vedic masters, this time of darkness is over and life will soon be lived in the brightness of the midday sun,” Maharishi said.
