Army General Offers
President Bush Alternative to Missle Deffence Shield
Top-Ranking Military Leader from India Proposes
"Vedic Defence Shield"
for Prevention of War and Terrorism
"Military and diplomatic solutions will never produce lasting peace
while enmity seethes in the hearts of the people. The persistent
crisis in the Middle East alone proves the inadequacy of paper treaties,
and underscores the need for a fundamentally new approach."
-Major General Kulwant Singh
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) A top-ranking army general, who helped lead
the fight against terrorism in India for nearly three decades, is
coming to Washington, D.C. next week to offer President Bush an
effective alternative to his National Missile Defense Shield.
Major General Kulwant Singh, a 35-year career army veteran, backed
by a growing number of top military leaders worldwide, will encourage
President Bush and other world leaders to immediately deploy "Vedic
technologies of defence"-a scientifically proven approach that diffuses
regional tensions and prevents conflict.
"President Bush should be commended for his efforts to defend the
American people from nuclear attack," General Singh said. "There
are critics who argue that the missile shield is untested, costly,
and provides no defence against warheads smuggled in by land or
sea. But the President is deploying the most advanced technology
he knows. To his critics, I say, 'Show the President a better way.'
"Fortunately, now there is a better way. This is why we have come
to Washington."
Vedic Technologies of Defence Diffuse Acute Social Stress
"America and India are great allies. We are bringing to President
Bush the best of what India has to offer-the very latest technology
in the field of defence," said General Singh.
"Research confirms that the outbreak of war begins with rising
tensions among rival factions. Conventional means of defence do
nothing to address this underlying cause of war: mounting tensions
in critical hotspots throughout the world.
"We are offering a proven, prevention-oriented approach, based
on Vedic technologies of consciousness, to diffuse acute social
stress-and thereby prevent enmity from arising.
"Ours is the only new approach with a proven track record-an approach
that is backed by extensive published research," General Singh said.

"NATO has effectively
legitimized the principle of foreign policy through military
attack. The result is that now bombardment can happen to any
country in the world at any time. This is the reality
your city could be next. Therefore, can we wait even a single
moment to establish world peace?
Can you imagine if bombs began
to fall on Washington, D.C., and to destroy the high-rises
of the money markets of New York? Will NATO be able to prevent
this?
When this happens it will be
beyond the power even of the wealthy to save the situation.
When our house is in uncontrollable flames, it is too late
to dig a well to get the water. Better to prevent the house
from catching fire in the first place. A new approach to creating
peace is urgently neededone that prevents war. And if
such an approach exists it must be tried.
Treaties and international
organizations do not create lasting peace. And violence and
warfare do not create lasting peace. In fact the whole human
history has proven that neither of these approaches works.
So our choices are to accept
war throughout the world as inevitable, or to do something
new that really has been demonstrated to create a powerful
influence of peace in the world."

How Vedic Defence Works
Recent discoveries in the domain of quantum physics and human consciousness,
according to General Singh, reveal that the field of consciousness
is far more basic and powerful than the nuclear field. "This field
of consciousness-termed the unified field in the language of quantum
physics-is millions of times more fundamental and powerful than
the nuclear force.
"We have learned to harness this field through technologies of
consciousness that are simultaneously ancient and modern. They are
described in the ancient Vedic literature, but they have now become
the focus of extensive scientific research. Their application was
introduced 25 years ago by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who advocated
group practice of Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques,
including Yogic Flying. To this, Maharishi has added other highly
advanced peace-promoting procedures from the Vedic tradition," General
Singh said.
More than 50 studies, published in leading peer-reviewed scientific
journals, have documented the ability of group practice of Transcendental
Meditation and its advanced techniques to reduce societal stress
and violence, and to calm open warfare in war-torn areas. In the
mid-1980s this approach was used to quell violence in the Middle
East, and resulted in an 80% drop in war fatalities and war-related
injuries, according to articles published in the Journal of Conflict
Resolution and other scientific publications. (list)
Deploying a Vedic Defence Shield in India
More than 25,000 meditating experts are now being assembled in
India who, General Singh said, will produce an "indomitable influence
of peace and coherence in the country. No nation will ever be moved
to attack India, as it becomes a lighthouse of peace and coherence
to its neighbours and the world.
"What better, more humane and cost-effective defence than to prevent
the birth of an enemy? Isn't this more likely to prevent an attack
than a new arms race that is generating such global fear and heightened
hostility towards the US that it might actually provoke a terrorist
attack?"
US Department of Peace
General Singh applauded the efforts of members of the US Congress,
led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), to counter this new military
escalation with a US Department of Peace, funded at 1% of the military
budget.
"Such a department could easily support, even within the ranks
of the military, a 'prevention wing' of 10,000 - 20,000 troops trained
in Vedic technologies of defence that can prevent the outbreak of
war. This should be the true purpose of the military: To keep the
peace. Unfortunately, nothing in the current military handbooks
trains our soldiers to prevent war.
"That is why it is critical now to implement a prevention wing
in the military utilising these proven Vedic technologies of defence,"
said General Singh, who retired from the military in 1995, and is
now Defence Minister of the Global Country of World Peace-a nation
without borders founded to "provide a global home for peace-loving
people everywhere," and to offer governments "proven, prevention-oriented
solutions to critical social problems".
General Singh's Itinerary in Washington
General Singh said he is coming to Washington, D.C. to "present
to President Bush, and representatives of other peace-loving countries,
how to promote invincibility for every nation and permanent world
peace by taking recourse to the higher intelligence of Natural Law,
which governs the universe with perfect order."
