Maharishi's Message to the World - 9October 02

Maharishi proclaims a new era of permanent peace dawning in the world

Announces plans to establish large groups of Yogic Flyers in India,
the U.S., South America, Western Europe, and Russia

"The time of struggle and strife will soon be over"

(October 9, 2002) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi offered the problem-ridden world a bright new future, and presented his global plan to establish around the world large groups of coherence-creating Yogic Flyers who will usher in a new era of peace, prosperity, and happiness for the whole family of nations.

"We know how to light the lamp, so we don’t mind the darkness," Maharishi said. "It doesn’t matter what the world has been in the past because we know how to create peace. The time of struggle and strife will soon be over."

Maharishi’s bold pronouncement came during his weekly global news conference, which was broadcast live to media on all continents via satellite, Internet webcast, and teleconference call on Wednesday, October 9. Maharishi will hold his next global news conferences this Wednesday, October 16, and Thursday, October 17.

Maharishi emphasized throughout the news conference that his proclamation of a dawning "Age of Enlightenment" is not based upon mere conjecture or sincere intentions. Rather it is based on the application of the most complete scientific knowledge of Natural Law.

The key to transforming the world
Maharishi opened the news conference with an in-depth discussion of Natural Law and its application for transforming the world. He defined Total Natural Law as the deepest level of Nature’s functioning—the Unified Field of Natural Law—which administers the universe with perfect order. He said that all problems are due to the inability of the individual to access this Transcendental field of life—and that all problems can be solved by fully enlivening it.

Maharishi explained how the field can be enlivened: "Total Natural Law is fully awake—eternally humming—in the self-referral consciousness within everyone. Through Vedic technologies of consciousness, including Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying, the supreme administrative intelligence of Nature can be enlivened in human awareness."

A few thousand people can create peace
Maharishi cited extensive scientific research showing that only a few thousand people, out of the more than 6 billion people on earth, are needed to practice these Vedic technologies together in groups to enliven Natural Law in world consciousness and create a universal effect of harmony and positivity. "A small bulb can light a big hall," Maharishi explained.

Global Country of World Peace
The Global Country of World Peace, which was founded by Maharishi two years ago to bring prevention-oriented administration to the world, has launched a global undertaking to establish several large coherence-creating groups. Plans call for groups of 8,000 Vedic experts in the United States, South America, Europe, and Russia—with a larger group of up to 40,000 experts in India. In addition, Maharishi said, 3,000 Peace Palaces are to be built in the world’s largest 3,000 cities—each Peace Palace with a smaller group of 100 to 200 Vedic experts.

The First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, His Majesty Raja Nader Raam, is overseeing the global undertaking. Maharishi introduced His Majesty Raja Raam as "the greatest scientist of the world who has established the supremacy of consciousness over physiology. He has discovered that every physiological expression in the universe is the expression of the underlying field of consciousness."

Maharishi said that by establishing these groups, His Majesty Raja Raam will ensure that coherence and harmony are permanently maintained in world consciousness. Total Natural Law for every field of administration Maharishi also said that His Majesty Raja Raam’s administration will soon promote ideal administration in the world by offering the complete knowledge of Natural Law to prevent and solve problems in every field, including health care, agriculture, defense, and—in particular—education.

"We say, 'ideal administration through ideal education'—education that trains everyone to use their full brain potential and rise to higher states of consciousness," Maharishi said. "Then everyone will behave spontaneously in accord with Natural Law so they will not create problems for themselves or others."

Man-made constitutions the cause of problems
Maharishi cautioned, however, that without the knowledge of Natural Law the world would remain in the grip of problems, because "human intelligence alone is incompetent to successfully administer society."

Maharishi targeted man-made constitutions as a root cause of problems and suffering in the world. "There is no hope for a better world as long as man-made constitutions are administering nations. Over 200 countries are administered by man-made constitutions, and no one in any country is satisfied. This is because man-made constitutions are full of human failings and human weaknesses," Maharishi said.

A new destiny of mankind
The solution, Maharishi said, is groups of Yogic Flyers. The impact of the groups will be immediate and clear. "A new destiny of mankind will dawn when Total Natural Law—the Constitution of the Universe, the Divine Will of God—which is present in every grain of creation—rules the world of human beings as it rules the ever-expanding universe. Then the administration of every nation will rise to the level of supreme efficiency and effectiveness as the administration of the universe. Problems will simply disappear as darkness disappears with the onset of light."
