MVOAI: Maharishi's Program to Eliminate Poverty

Maharishi’s Program to Eliminate Poverty

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute has as one of its primary goals to eliminate poverty in the world. There are 6 billion people in the world today, 3 billion of which are living in poverty with at least 1.5 billion living in extreme poverty. This misery in the lives of so many people affects every one of us. This is especially true when the natural resources inherent in the land of each county are enough to generate sufficient wealth to totally eradicate poverty.

The central thrust of Maharishi's Program to Eliminate Poverty is to grow Vedic Organic food in the developing countries and market it in the consumer nations. In this way we can "turn the dry sand to gold" and create economic self-sufficiency in the poor countries, while enlivening perfect health in the wealthy ones.

Maharishi's Program to Eliminate Poverty calls for the government to issue coupons, an alternative currency solely dedicated to the development of the unused resources of the country. With these coupons, the farmer's current inadequate wages can be immediately doubled, and comfortable Vedic housing in accord with Natural Law can be provided to the farmer and his family. The farmer will immediately gain the benefit of wealth to experience the elimination of poverty.

There is no reason for poverty to continue in the world. The vast potential in the world's unused lands can work hand in hand with the growing awareness of the harmful effect of chemical farming and genetically engineered products. Poverty can be removed from every land through rising demand for organic food.

No government will feel comfortable calling itself a government while its ability to eradicate poverty is not being actualized. Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Institute has the knowledge, the creativity and the support of Natural Law. Nothing is out of our reach with the support of Natural Law.

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture Cooperatives will be the concrete expression and the lively foundation of this global program to eliminate poverty. Maharishi Vedic Organic Cooperatives are the 'Lands of World Peace in the world,' because Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture is a program based on life energy, life-force, and the intelligence of life, which naturally, silently, in the most peaceful way, administers the evolutionary process of life in the plant kingdom. All these 'Lands of World Peace' patches of land with maximum fertility and lively nourishing power will together form the nucleus of Maharishi's Global Country of World Peace.

Maharishi has founded the Global Country of World Peace to create peace, perpetual peace on earth. This country is a country with no boundaries, and every peace-loving person on earth is its citizen. Its administration will awaken the Cosmic potential of every human being as the unbounded ocean of peace, harmony and unity, and will organize groups of peace-creating professionals Yogic Flyers to create an integrated, harmonious collective consciousness in every country and in the world as a whole.

In the Global Country of World Peace, the totality of Natural Law embodied in Ram will be the ruler of life on earth. Every harvest season will bring an abundance of healthy food, along with the smile of angels in Heaven. Heaven on Earth will be the harvest of Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture.
