Maharishi in the World Today

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who has inspired the foundation of the Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute, is widely regarded as the foremost scientist in the field of consciousness, and is considered to be the greatest teacher in the world today.

His Vedic Science and Technology, which unfolds the full potential of Natural Law in human consciousness as the basis of improving all areas of life, is regarded as the most effective program of human resource development available. His technique of Transcendental Meditation is the most widely practiced and extensively researched program of self-development in the world.

More than 600 scientific research studies (See Appendix 6.) conducted during the past forty-two years at over 200 independent universities and research institutes in 30 countries have validated the profound benefits of the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation program for the individual and for every area of society, including health, education, business, industry, rehabilitation, defence, agriculture, and government.

Over 6 million people in all parts of the world and from all walks of life practice Transcendental Meditation. 40,000 teachers of the Transcendental Meditation program have been trained so far, and more are continuing to be trained. In addition, more than 100,000 people have learned the Maharishi TM-Sidhi program, an advanced aspect of the Transcendental Meditation practice, that dramatically enhances all the benefits brought about by Transcendental Meditation for the individual, and creates a highly purifying influence in world consciousness.

Maharishi has held hundreds of World Peace Assemblies on all continents during the past forty-two years, with many thousands of people coming together to create coherence in world consciousness through the group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, including Yogic Flying.

In 1986, on the basis of the rising coherence created in world consciousness by the Maharishi Effect, Maharishi inaugurated his program to create world peace by establishing a permanent group of 7,000 Vedic Scientists in Maharishi Veda Vigyan Vishwa Vidya Peeth, Maharishi Nagar, India. The goal was to create coherence in collective consciousness on a permanent basis through the group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs.

As a result of the rising Maharishi Effect in world consciousness produced by millions of people practicing Transcendental Meditation throughout the world, and through Maharishi’s World Peace Assemblies in all parts of the world, world peace is rising to be a permanent reality.

Over the past forty-four years Maharishi has established a worldwide organization with more than 1,200 centers in 108 countries. Hundreds of books have been published about Maharishi’s teachings. These have been translated into many languages and have been distributed globally. Maharishi is one of the most videotaped persons in history. There are more than 14,000 hours of video and audio tape recordings of lectures in Maharishi’s international film and tape library.

Maharishi has completely restored the thousands-of-years-old scattered Vedic Literature in both its theory and practice, and has organized it in the form of a complete science of consciousness. The Transcendental Meditation technique is the subjective technology of Maharishi’s Vedic Science of Consciousness. Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology is a complete science and technology of life, capable of raising all aspects of life to perfection.

The practicality of creating the supreme quality of life on earth–Heaven on Earth– through Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology has been amply verified during the past forty-four years by scientific research, which documents the benefits in every aspect of life–physiology, psychology, sociology, and ecology. It has also been substantially verified by personal experience, and by the authenticity of the ancient, traditional Vedic Literature.

The global achievements of these many years, on the ground of tested knowledge, prompted Maharishi to launch a global program to bring life in accord with Natural Law. This "Heaven on Earth Project" calls for the reconstruction of the whole world, inner and outer. The Maharishi Heaven on Earth Development Corporation has been established as a global organization to accomplish this goal.

Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology, and Maharishi’s simple approach for everyone to enjoy life according to Natural Law through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programs are the foundation of Maharishi’s global action to create Heaven on Earth and perpetuate it for all generations to come. A review of all the scientific research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs reveals that these programs have given rise to higher states of consciousness in the individual, and have purified world consciousness, indicating the effectiveness of these programs in achieving the goal.

The revival of Vedic Wisdom through Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology and the establishment of Maharishi's Universities in many countries around the world provide that perfect knowledge of Natural Law which will forever continue guiding mankind on the path to perfection–daily life in full accordance with Natural Law. These Schools and Universities include, among others: Maharishi Vedic Universities, Maharishi Ayur-Veda Universities, Maharishi Schools of the Age of Enlightenment, Maharishi Open University (a University broadcasting globally via eight satellites) and Maharishi Universities of Management.

Maharishi has offered a practical formula for every government to come in alliance with Nature’s Government, to gain the support of Nature’s Government, and thus to gain the ability to nourish and satisfy its citizens. This offer is so unique and unprecedented in the thousands of years of the struggling history of governments that probably the political leadership of the world, working under stress and strain, could not believe that the Support of Nature could be gained in a systematic, scientific manner by all.

Having realized that it is possible to free governments from problems and develop in them the ability to prevent problems, Maharishi decided to establish a Global Government of Natural Law with its seat in every country. The effect of the Government of Natural Law will be to raise the administration of existing governments, through national law, to the dignity of Global Administration through Natural Law.

In the context of Maharishi’s Absolute Theory of Government it is enough to mention that the ideal of government is available in Maharishi's Global Government of Natural Law. The relationship of the government of every country with Maharishi’s Global Government of Natural Law will be so elevating and nourishing that every Head of State will enjoy the full support of Natural Law. His government will enjoy the ability to prevent problems and will substantiate the new definition of government provided by Maharishi’s Absolute Theory of Government.

Maharishi’s practical program is to quietly establish life according to Natural Law without requiring change in any area of the existing administration, which is based on the national constitution of the country. This global initiative to irrevocably change the course of time in favor of peace and happiness for all mankind places Maharishi on a most supremely exalted level of rulership, which far surpasses the wisdom or administrative skill of any sovereign ruler that history has recorded.

The establishment of Maharishi’s Global Administration through Natural Law will lead the administrative quality of every government in the direction of perfection, so that every government functions on a par with the absolute administration of the universe, the Government of Nature, which is universally nourishing to all life. Rk Veda places this supreme skill of leadership in the hands of Brahm, the Ultimate Reality, by stating:

"Brahma, the total potential of pure knowledge and its infinite organizing power–the lively Constitution of the Universe, Natural Law–becomes the charioteer of all activity."

Rk Veda assigns supreme rulership to the expressed value of that self-referral quality of consciousness, the total potential of Natural Law–Brahm.

The total potential of Natural Law guides the activity of those who have identified their intelligence with the infinite organizing power of pure intelligence at the level of self-referral consciousness. Every custodian of Maharishi’s Absolute Theory of Government will have access to this enormous intelligence and power in his own self-referral consciousness–in his own Transcendental Consciousness–in his own physiology.

Rk Veda, the Constitution of the Universe, will be enlivened in the heart of everyone, and, through a group of Yogic Flyers, an influence of harmony and peace will be generated in national consciousness, which will influence the whole collective consciousness of the world. Indomitable Maharishi Effect–positivity and harmony–will be maintained in world consciousness, generation after generation.

Maharishi in the world today is a cosmic figure caring for the well-being of all mankind and establishing a system to perpetuate life according to Natural Law, the cherished ideal of every government.

One wonders whether there could be a greater ruling intelligence than the one that is available in the world today in the form of Maharishi, who is making life on earth heavenly, and who is making Heaven on Earth a daily reality.

Maharishi attributes his achievements to his teacher, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Swami Brahmananda Saraswati Maharaj, Jagatguru Bhagavan Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Badrikashram--the most illustrious embodiment of Vedic Wisdom in the eternal tradition of Vedic Masters whose Swarn Jayanti–Cosmic Golden Jubilee–Maharishi has been blissfully celebrating since July 16^th, 2000.

During the past forty-four years, the purity of world consciousness has been steadily rising; the light of pure knowledge has been steadily rising; life according to Natural Law has been steadily rising. It is satisfying that with the blossoming of Maharishi's Absolute Theory of Government, the world is witnessing the signs of a new awakening in every field in the direction of fulfilment.

Now is the time for the world to witness the full glory of life according to Natural Law–to experience the full dignity of life in peace, prosperity, and happiness, with enlightenment and fulfilment in daily life.

This is Maharishi in the world today, a quiet guardian of all nations. Through his brilliance in the field of knowledge and administration, every individual and every government now has the opportunity to actualize the supreme purpose of life.
