O n July 16th Maharishi celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Guru Dev—50 years since he received the inspiration to teach the Transcendental Meditation technique from his teacher Swami Brahmnand Saraswat, the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math in the Himalayas.

During the Golden Jubilee Celebration, which was broadcast worldwide via satellite, Maharishi emphasized the important role of Vedic education in bringing life to fulfillment. He said that from the first day he began teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique, his desire has been for everyone to live the experience of Totality in all aspects of daily life—in thought, speech and action.

Maharishi said it is the responsibility of education to deliver the experience of Totality of life to every student. Today however, the very word "university" is a misnomer, because universities offer only compartmentalized knowledge. The word "university" is comprised of two values: unity and diversity. Education is incomplete without the holistic and unifying realization of Total Knowledge, discovered within each individual through the experience of Transcendental Consciousness.

Maharishi is therefore challenging the governments, who are responsible for education, to go by their constitutions and offer their citizens the means to enjoy complete fulfillment in life. This is the wise and proper use of governmental power, rather than spending precious resources on building or buying armaments and supporting NATO or other organizations engaged in destructive activities around the world.

The solution, as Maharishi outlined, is to introduce real education—Vedic education—which gives all students the experience of the self-referral dynamism of their own Self, and which awakens the Cosmic potential of everyone so that life is lived in fulfillment, in Enlightenment.

Jai Guru Dev.

During the Guru Purnima global satellite broadcast on July 16, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave an historic message to the peoples of every nation: "It is your natural birthright to cry out when you are put under constant suffering by the foolish and irresponsible action of your own governments. This crying out of the people is the natural centuries-old response to governmental mismanagement of the nation’s life.

"Today when the government only favors those who give them money, the only recourse of the people is to take shelter in the justice system and sue the government for their fraudulent and corrupt practices under consumer protection laws."

Maharishi invited at least three or four patriotic leaders in every nation to take immediate legal action against all levels of governments, and alert the government that the days when they could just do anything they liked without consequences are now over.

Governments whose educational policies prevent the development of the precious potential of the brain should be sued for violating the right of every individual to enjoy the Cosmic creativity of their own brains. Those whose health policies cause the illness and death of their own people should be sued for their fraudulent health care system. Those whose defense policies spread fear and terrorism, and murder the civilians of other nations, will be put on notice that they are now being held liable, and will go to jail for the mischief they do to human life in the name of political self-preservation.

 Government policy today is based upon the flow of money to the government and political parties by special interests. As a result the government ignores scientifically proven solutions which Maharishi has brought to light from the ancient traditions of Vedic Science^SM , and verified by overwhelming scientific evidence.

Maharishi concluded: "So I’m asking the wise of each nation to test in the court of justice whether the constitution is to destroy life of the people or to give them protection from problems. And on every full moon we will review what country is for life and what country is for destruction of life."

Jai Guru Dev.
