The Asian Television Network
(ATN),
the largest multi-lingual cable and satellite network broadcasting
outside of India, now offers one hour per day of Maharishi Veda Vision.

Maharishi speak on Vedic wisdom with selections in both Hindi and English.

other prominent speakers.
Bermuda Creating Coherence Project
All Governors and Citizen
Sidhas of the Age of Enlightenment are warmly invited to come to Bermuda
for a Creating Coherence Project, March 5-19 or March 12-19, 2000. A 1984
course in Bermuda created a 50 percent drop in common crimes compared to
the previous four weeks. Local leaders have expressed support for a
repeat demonstration. Participants should apply through their TM
Program Center or National Office
immediately.
Ideal Girls Tour the Nation
In November, eight seniors from the
Heavenly Mountain Ideal Girls’ School in North Carolina toured eight
U.S. cities to make presentations on Consciousness-Based education.
In
Washington, DC, the girls visited the Thurgood Marshall Middle School
where the TM program has been incorporated into the curriculum. "The
neighboring schools were tense, but the students and teachers of Thurgood
Marshall were so happy," recalls Laura Stevens. "You could
really see the difference the TM program can make in school life."
In Detroit, a funded project has been
established at a counseling center as a direct result of the lectures
given by the girls. Says Torrey Witherspoon, "Every place we went, it
was as if we were waking people up to something that had always been in
their minds: ‘This is what I’ve been looking for! This is the way life
is supposed to be!’"
