Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Creating Peace

Main Links

• Permanent Peace Through Maharishi's Proven Technologies of Peace - Modern science and timeless wisdom have come together in a practical, powerful technology of peace. Groups of peace-creating experts can dramatically reduce violent crime, terrorism, and war. This site documents a large body of evidence from 50 demonstration projects and 23 published scientific studies—accepted and published by mainstream scientific journals—on proven peace creating technologies.
• Achieving World Peace and National Invincibility - According to recent research, traditional approaches to defense fail because they do not address the underlying cause of violence and conflict: they do not relieve the acute political, ethnic, and religious tensions that fuel terrorism and conflict. During the last 25 years, a powerful, innovative approach to peace has been extensively field tested—in the Middle East and throughout the world. The consistent result has been dramatic reductions in terrorism, war, and other social violence. These findings have been replicated, published in leading academic journals, and endorsed by hundreds of independent scientists and scholars. The efficacy of this approach is now beyond question. These studies verify that the scientific knowledge and technologies are now available to end terrorism and conflict, to achieve indomitable national strength and security, and to create permanent world peace.

• Nuclear Alert - A New Technology for National Security, Non-Violent Conflict Resolution and World Peace.

As a consequence, they have been forced to advocate nuclear restraint—a voice that has been overwhelmed by politicians’ perceived need for a strong nuclear deterrent. Now scientists can equip themselves with a powerful, proven approach to peace and national security—and play a decisive role in the leadership of their nations.
