Maharishi Maharishi Mahesh Yogi this week revealed his formula to make every government successful: Improve administration by improving the quality of national consciousness. And for that, Maharishi said, the formula is simple: Establish in each country a group of peace-promoting Yogic Flyers to create coherence in the collective consciousness of the nation.

“A government is governed by the quality of national consciousness,” Maharishi said. “Whatever is the quality of national consciousness—coherent or incoherent, wise or foolish—that will be the level of the performance of the government. To improve the government, we must improve the quality of the collective consciousness of the nation—there is no other way.”

Maharishi delivered his message during his February 8 global news conference, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. Maharishi’s next news conferences will be held on February 15 and 16.

Maharishi said he reached his conclusion after considering why governments had not yet adopted his program to raise their nations to invincibility and create permanent world peace. “A government is not in a position to do anything different than what it is already doing because the actions of a government are motivated by the collective consciousness of the nation,” Maharishi said.

That is why, Maharishi said, he is no longer wasting his time with governments. Instead, he is focused entirely on implementing policies and programs to create positivity, coherence, and harmony in collective consciousness. “Then, automatically, whatever government rules the nation—whether it is the same government or a new government—it will rule with positivity, coherence, and harmony,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi emphasized that his target is not just one country but every country. “Our objective is to improve the collective consciousness of the whole world family—and we are accomplishing this by establishing in every country a group of a few hundred to a few thousand Yogic Flyers,” Maharishi said. (The number of Yogic Flyers depends upon the population size of the country.) Maharishi also said he is establishing large numbers of Vedic Pandits in India, who will recite the Vedic sounds—the reverberations of Total Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe—to create an intensified influence of coherence in the whole of world consciousness.

In response to a press question about how groups of Yogic Flyers create coherence in national consciousness, Maharishi said that Yogic Flying enlivens in individual and collective consciousness Total Natural Law—Transcendental Consciousness—which is at the basis of the infinite diversity of the universe. “These groups of Yogic Flyers will raise the collective consciousness of the nation to be on a par with cosmic intelligence—the Constitution of the Universe—which administers the infinite diversity of the universe with perfect order,” Maharishi said. “They will be true patriots in great service to the country. They will create coherent national consciousness, which will automatically inspire the government to fulfill its parental role for the country—to promote peace, happiness, and affluence for everyone.”

To perpetuate coherence in world consciousness, Maharishi announced that he is establishing schools, colleges, and universities in every country to bring the knowledge of Total Natural Law to every generation. “The younger generation will rise to enlightenment and radiate that enlightenment to improve the quality of collective consciousness of the whole world,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi’s approach has been validated by 50 years of experience of teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique to millions of people throughout the world, and by more than 600 scientific studies conducted in 250 independent universities and research institutes in 33 countries during the past 35 years.

“A bright destiny is within the grasp of human life today”

Maharishi concluded by emphasizing that his target of a bright destiny for mankind is not a mere hope for a better time in the far-off future. “It is within the grasp of human life today—right now—in this scientific age. Take it now and enjoy—or don’t take it and continue to suffer,” said Maharishi, who then added: “However, our strength is that no one wants to suffer. Everyone wants to enjoy—everyone wants more happiness, more affluence, and more peace. So we will fulfill that desire of the people by creating coherence in the collective consciousness of every nation and the whole world.”
