Mozambique: Mozambique
Accepts Maharishi's Offer of Invincibility
Every nation on earth has been invited to become a member of Maharishi's
Global Administration through Natural Law and thereby become invincible.
The cost of membership is to create and maintain group of Yogic Flyers.
In a letter sent to political leaders of
all countries, Dr. Bevan Morris wrote, "This approach is very simple.
Your government simply establishes a group of experts in Yogic Flying.
Such a group has the ability to enliven the support of the invincible
power of Natural Law for the nation, and avert the birth of an
enemy."
His Excellency Joachim Alberto Chissano
Rama, President of the Republic of Mozambique, is the first leader to
accept Maharishi’s Offer.
India: State
Housing Board Embraces Vastu Construction
The Times of India recently reported that the Karnataka
Housing Board (KHB) will construct all future housing projects in accord
with the ancient Indian tradition of Vastu. The knowledge of Vastu,
available in Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design, includes proper evaluation
of the building site, orientation of the building, and arrangement of
rooms. The KHB has proposed 53 new housing projects, of which 40 have
already received administrative approval.
India: Maharishi to Create
Five Groups of 7,000 Yogic Flyers
Maharishi has announced a plan to establish five groups of
7,000 experts in Yogic Flying in India, the Land of the Veda. "To
achieve a harmonious world consciousness, and to maintain it for all
generations to come," Maharishi commented, "we need a greater
softness in world consciousness." He added that the world requires
the enormous harmonizing effect which can be easily provided by large
groups of Yogic Flyers, since from time to time difficulties in world
consciousness continue to bubble up.
A campaign has been started to collect
the 200 million US dollars necessary to support these five
coherence-creating groups perpetually. Wealthy supporters have committed
to contribute a substantial proportion of this amount by summer. Maharishi
said that once these groups are set, the world will be absolutely
different.
The Ukraine: Maharishi
University of Management Students Score High in Growth of Intelligence
In Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, a professor of psychology at
the State University has completed a one-year study on Maharishi
University of Management students who practice the TM technique. The
professor found that after one year, the meditating students scored
significantly higher than students from his own university on a full range
of psychological tests, including intelligence, creativity and
personality.
Peru: Permanent
Coherence-Creating Group Established in Puno
As noted in our September
1998 issue Javier Ortiz Cabrejos established a creating-coherence
group in Puno, Peru which ended a severe drought. However, as the number
of students meditating together began to decrease, the drought returned.
Mr. Ortiz recognized the need to create a permanent group of Meditators so
that the city could enjoy continuous support of Natural Law.
As soon as Mr. Ortiz returned to Puno,
the people began to say, "Now it will rain." With the support of
local educational leaders, he began a project to teach the TM program in
the National Secondary School in Puno. Shortly after several hundred
students were instructed in the TM technique, the rains began again. In
addition, students practicing the TM technique have won many of their
school's awards in mathematics, poetry, music and art.
