Maharishi's Call to the Indian Government - 30 March 2005
Stop Spending the Money of India's Poor People to Buy Weapons that
Will Bring Destruction to the Nation
Use Indian Money to Engage Vedic Pandits
to Create Invincibility for the Nation
through Vedic Performances
Scientific research shows Vedic recitation promotes coherent brain
functioning - the basis of coherent national consciousness
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi issued a stern wake-up call to the
Indian government to stop spending the hard-earned money of India's poor
people to purchase weapons from wealthy arms-producing nations in a vain
hope that such weapons will bring safety to the nation. "It is
illogical-weapons will only bring flames and death to India. They will not
save the nation," Maharishi warned.
Instead, Maharishi urged India's leaders to use Indian money to engage
large numbers of peace-creating experts-Vedic Pandits-throughout the
country to promote coherent national consciousness, which is the basis of
invincibility for the country.
World press urged to watch for signs of success of
Maharishi's program to raise India to invincibility
The news conference was held one week after Maharishi launched his
historic program to create an invincible, problem-free India as a
stepping-stone to creating an invincible, problem-free world. Large
numbers of Vedic Pandits in India are performing Vedic Yagyas and
Grahashanti to enliven in national consciousness Total Natural Law-the
Constitution of the Universe-which administers the universe with perfect
order. Maharishi urged the world press to watch each week for signs of
success of his program, which will include less conflict and more harmony
in Indian national consciousness.
Brain wave coherence promotes enlightenment for the individual
and invincibility for the nation
A highlight of Maharishi's March 30 news conference was a presentation by
leading scientists from Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield,
Iowa, on the effects of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation
program-along with the effects of the recitation of Vedic sounds-in
promoting high levels of brain wave coherence. According to research,
brain wave coherence promotes increased intelligence, clear thinking,
improved decision-making, and higher states of consciousness. Research
also shows that group practice of Maharishi's Vedic technologies creates
coherence in the collective consciousness of the whole population.
Maharishi said these findings represent the first achievement of the first
week of his program to raise India to invincibility. "The research has
brought out the scientific principles and practice of how invincibility is
going to rise in India," Maharishi said. "Increased coherence in brain
functioning in the individual will create increased coherence in the life
of the country-the basis of invincibility for the nation."
Vedic recitation is a science-not a religion
Maharishi emphasised that Vedic recitation is a scientific procedure that
produces coherent brain functioning-it is not a religion. "Indian
government leaders should engage as many Vedic Pandits as possible for
large Vedic performances. As the number of Vedic Pandits increases,
coherence-sattwa-in national consciousness will increase-just as more
candles bring more light to a big room," Maharishi said.
In response to a press question, Maharishi explained that India was
selected to demonstrate the effectiveness of his program because it is one
of the biggest countries in the world and is home to the Vedic knowledge
of invincibility. "I am concerned with the whole of world consciousness,"
Maharishi said. "That is why I am using one of the largest countries-not a
small one. And it is a country where Vedic knowledge and the daily routine
of the Vedic Pandits will support an upsurge of coherence and
invincibility in the nation."
Maharishi said his program will be successful when enough Vedic Pandits
have been engaged to create coherent national consciousness and thereby
change the trends of government. "National consciousness drives the
government," Maharishi said. "We will know we are successful when the
Indian government displays sensible thinking-Vedic thinking-and uses money
from its treasury for Yagyas and Grahashanti."
"A miracle is going to happen"
Maharishi concluded by reassuring the world press that a miracle is going
to happen. "With the grace of Guru Dev and the tradition of Vedic masters,
the Vedic Pandits are going to transform salt into sugar through their
Vedic performances. They are going to transform Kali Yuga, which is the
age of negativity, into Sat Yuga, which is the age of positivity. But this
miracle is not an empty hope or a dream. It is a practical reality that is
going to occur in a natural way by enlivening in world consciousness Total
Natural Law-the perfect system of the administration of the universe,"
Maharishi said. "So it doesn't matter what the past has been, because the
collective consciousness of every nation will soon be coherent,
invincible, and fulfilled-free from all problems, disturbances, and
suffering."
