On January 12th, Maharishi inaugurated 1999 as the Third Year of Maharishi's Global Administration through Natural Law, the Year of Invincibility to Every Nation through Maharishi Open University. Maharishi concluded his inaugural address with the following words:

"Maharishi Open University will open a new destiny for mankind: unbounded creative intelligence. Cosmic creativity will be naturally lived in the life of everyone when the brain physiology of everyone is trained to function holistically. So much scientific research has been gained to indicate that, when one practices Transcendental Meditation, total brain potential becomes lively. That means the physiological instrumentation of the body used total knowledge, total Veda. That is what the pandits have just recited: Yo jagar tam richah kamayante.

"It is a great call of this scientific age to come to that essential nature of life which everyone is born with as his birthright, to use his full cosmic potential. Our program of Maharishi Open University will lay out this cosmic potential of everyone.

"'A new destiny of mankind': I feel very good to say these words. There is no exaggeration in any of these expressions: 'a new destiny of mankind,' 'new' because life has been known in terms of struggle.

"But now the call of Vedic knowledge whispers quietly, and speaks loudly, that the total creative potential, the cosmic potential of everyone, is available to everyone in one's own settled state of consciousness. Transcendental Meditation is the way, and Heaven in the destiny of mankind. Heaven on Earth will be the reality for all times now.

"Jai Guru Dev"

*(Rk Veda, 5.44.14) He who is awake, the Richa (expressions of the Veda) zoom forth in his awareness and uphold his thought, speech, and action.
