Message to Governors and Sidhas March 23, 2005 In the past three days the news has gone out from all the Rajas about Maharishi's plans to start the Movement anew with all full- time Governors and Citizens Sidhas who will establish the Movement in 2,400 locations in the U.S. and 3,000 locations worldwide and build Peace Palaces in each location. Once half of the funding is raised for a Peace Palace, the Raja Designate for that location will attend the Raja training course while the Peace Palace is being built. Raja Designates may be Governors, or if there is no Governor available, they may be Citizen Sidhas.
Training Course for Recertification of Full-Time Governors to Begin Immediately. Maharishi made a grand announcement today of a one-week course to begin in about a week to train and recertify Governors who make a commitment to be full-time. This course will be held in as many as six locations in each Raja's domain. Each course location will be for 50 Governors who will be in-residence during the course. Maharishi will connect to the course every day. His lectures from this course will become a permanent part of the training of all Governors in the future. This course will be for men and for ladies who are experienced Governors and committed to be full-time. Teacher Training for Citizen Sidhas. Maharishi also announced plans today for a large Teacher Training course for Citizen Sidhas to become teachers. The course will be held in a number of locations in each Raja Domain. The course has a minimum age requirement: those who enroll must be 30 years of age or older. Below are answers to questions that have come in from Governors and Citizen Sidhas regarding Maharishi's message to them. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. How will the Movement be different than in the past? A. The old system of teaching will stop. And in the future there will be a fresh, revitalized and more effective system of teaching. This old system of teaching, part-time and all that, will stop from the end of this month. A more enlightened, more integrated organization, and more effective teaching with some new elements in teaching will come up. Teaching will be with renewed knowledge, renewed policy. Q. All the Governors are thinking how to do it. A. They will ensure their life in enlightenment. Q. Many ladies who want to teach are hoping they will not be left out. A. Ladies will also teach full-time. We will have Peace Palaces for ladies. In the same way for men and for ladies. Q. The ladies wanted to know if they would also be able to undergo some form of training like Raja Training. A. They will have equal kind of training. We will design a good name for them. Not Rajas but something like that. Q. What is the special angle of the Governor Recertification Course? A. Because these are old Governors, they have to have a new angle. Maharishi will give them a new angle. It is a renewed field of knowledge for a renewed purpose. The renewed purpose will be invincibility of the nation�to build up the connection between the individual advantage from Transcendental Meditation and collective consciousness. Q. Will there be subsequent courses? A. Many will like to come but may have forgotten. For them we will hold another course. But the first course we give to those who have been working. From now on the whole system of teaching will be different. Initiations will be in the center. We will give them a certificate. Q. Because of this desire of Maharishi for all the Governors to be full-time and not part-time and to take responsibility for Peace Palaces around the country, the question has come up from some of those living in Fairfield if they should stay in Fairfield to maintain Super Radiance or take these new positions in another city? A. Each must decide for himself. We cannot decide for them. They decide among themselves, where and what they want to do. From our side, we decide our policy that this is the new phase of teaching after 50 years. Q. Will a certificate be awarded to the Governors upon graduation for the Recertification course? A: Each initiator, for his renewed ability to teach from now on, will have a certificate. Q. Will there be any opportunity for part-time teaching? A. Those who want to teach they have to be full-time teachers. It is their choice. They have be full-time working in the Movement. If part-time, then no choice. Q. Does everyone have to decide this week. Can somebody decide later? A. Those who want to be full-time and could not come to this course, we will see how many there are after one or two months. We will give them a chance of renewed training. Maybe we call them for a month training. One week is for those who have been teaching and doing things. Those who have gone to other employment, maybe 2, 3 weeks. See how much they have forgotten. On that basis we will decide. Q. Will the Recertification Course be for ladies as well as men? A: What we are considering is a revival of knowledge and system of teaching Transcendental Meditation. We are concentrating on teaching. In this consideration, this course could be attended by the ladies also. For revival of teaching we have to take them onto this level of satwa that has arisen in the world consciousness. From that level we are starting a fresh Movement. The purpose of the Movement will be invincibility to the nation. The purpose of the Movement so far has been enlightenment of the individual. And now to that enlightenment will be added a new phase of invincibility to the nation. And as teachers whosoever we engage in teaching, they will be full-timers, completely rigidly maintaining their own longer meditations and the system of teaching and lectures. So have the ladies come also in this. Ladies who want to be full-time all the time. Other ladies who have been teaching once a week, two hours a month at their amusement, all that will stop. This is the profession of the teacher of Transcendental Meditation. Q. What will Governors learn on the Recertification Course? A. We are concerned with the purity of the teaching on a higher level. So far the teaching was aiming at the individual. The teaching will not abandon this goal but to it will be added the collective goal of the nation. So in this way we'll have more added enrichment to the teaching which will add enrichment to the effect, which will go to the collective level. So far the effect has been on the individual level. That is why Maharishi wants to conduct this course. Tapes will be made and this will be the guide for future teacher training. In the future when we train teachers of Transcendental Meditation, after 5 years we give them this added value, a second diploma of higher category. More advanced. So far there was no such thing, but now we will have two levels of teaching. That will be an advanced duty � remaining full-time in the service of the Movement. Q. What will be the life of a Governor who has graduated from this course? A. Full-time. We'll only take those people who take this as a profession. In the beginning there was no security for their salaries and all. Now we will fix up salaries, we will fix up their meditation times and all, fix up their own life, and fix up the benefit they can give to society. Now the Movement is more civilized, more orderly, more set up. In the beginning we couldn't think of any such thing. But now it is setting up itself. It's very timely, and very timely, and very timely. Q. If a Governor cannot teach full-time, can they still teach their children or family? A. Follow the policy of teaching. Family or not family the teaching should be proper. Q. If a couple is both teaching, do they both receive $2000 a month? A. Of course. Then she will take care of the ladies' organization in their city and he takes care of the men. And at home both will talk together and enjoy together. Both together� the advantage is they will have undivided long morning and evening meditation. That is the advantage of both getting into this field. Setting up the life is the primary thing. Not based on monetary things. And we have in mind to increase their salaries as we see income coming on. Q. Salaries will be increased above $2000 a month as income increases? A. Right. Right. And income is going to come up. They will be better off through this profession of enlightenment and for themselves and for their city. The skill of advertising will be the skill of making more and more money, making more and more money. There will be streams of wealth coming Absolutely. Q. There are positions in each city for one Raja and 6 directors? A. We prefer one Governor takes one city. And if he is one, he is fortunate to be becoming a Raja in a few months or a year. He will employ the people and guide them and run the center. As soon as his city has collected half the cost of the Peace Palace, he comes for training and the construction of the Peace Palace begins. Q. Then if a Governor becomes full-time later, he won't have the opportunity to become a Raja? A. Absolutely. Later, he won't be coming for Raja Training. Not of that city. But there may be another city. Q. The response from one of the Governors in the field was that Sat Yuga is not a part-time job. B. Very good. Sat Yuga is not a part-time job. You have to see good dreams also. Keep awake in sleeping also. It is 24 hour employment� not a part-time job. Q. Is there a role for the existing faculty of our universities and schools? A. We are going to open these campuses of the university everywhere. These about which we are thinking, maybe 10, 20, 50 people. They will have a great choice Absolutely. The program in teaching, every hour they will be bathing in the waters of knowledge, total knowledge. After every hour of paper work or lecture they will be diving into themselves, 3, 4 times a day. The whole class will be a mass of radiation of enlightenment. Q. Enlightenment conference graduates have asked whether they should consider being part of this program. A. Absolutely. It will be fortunate for the organization to have the people who have been through the Enlightenment Conference. Absolutely, if they choose this daily routine of their career, that is the ideal of the Enlightenment Conference. If they have been on the Enlightenment Conference, we take them on this thing. Absolutely. Q. If someone is teaching a course now (initiating) should they finish the course? A. Yes. Q. If someone is scheduling now to teach a course in a week or two should they teach that course? A. No. Q. Governor staff at Maharishi University of Management who are not faculty have asked if they desire to go and set up a Peace Palace what should be the priority? A: It is their choice. They are teachers. They should enjoy. Q. Many Citizen Sidhas have responded to Maharishi's call to establish Peace Palaces. Is the Recertification Course just for Governors? A. This is for Governors. This is for teaching. Q. Is the policy still that Citizen Sidhas can be Raja Designates for Peace Palaces? A. Yes. We will take Sidhas when Governors are not there to run the Peace Palaces. Q. A question has come up from someone who is an initiator who does not have the TM-Sidhi program. A. They should take the flying course and then become a teacher; not become teachers if they are not flying themselves. Q. A few Governors who want to become full-time have other job commitments that will take a few weeks to finish. A. Some weeks don't matter. Two months doesn't matter. What matters is their decision to get into this life of teaching, this life of long meditation. A few weeks here and there for their whole life doesn't matter. Q. Some Governors really want to be full-time but cannot cover their expenses on $2000 a month. Should they wait until there can be higher compensation? A. That higher compensation they have to generate. They should join us and not worry for a few months on this minimum thing. And if they have difficulties we tell them money will never be enough for anyone. So they have to do something. Movement is going to be wealthier. It is not going to be a poor Movement after 50 years. Tell them we are celebrating the Golden Jubilee. So don't worry. They should come on now. Success will be there because we are getting onto invincibility for the nation. The time may not be far when the government national budgets in every country will have a flow for this peace creating group. The time may not be far away. Q. A couple who does not have children and husband works elsewhere would like the wife to work full-time. A. We tell the husband it is not that the wife is working full-time, 8 hours outside or inside. It is the long meditations of the wife. If he can stand the wife doing 3 hours of program in the morning and 3 hours of program in the afternoon, in addition to her teaching activities, then it is alright. In our principle, the success of activity belongs to the level of consciousness of the doer, of the actor, and the consciousness of the actor will be more integrated with three hours morning and evening. If that is not available, the success in action will be limited. That is why those whom we take, we take full-time, and full- time means they are everyday growing in the full awareness of their own consciousness. This is their life style. Q. What do we do if we do not have enough Governors? A. It seems there may not be many Governors who are there. Then if we don't have many Governors, we will find another way. We will refresh the Governors, give them certificates, publicize and give them assistance. If Governors are not there, we will either bring Governors from other countries or train them. Q. Are there any special things the ladies should consider in deciding to take the Recertification Course and be full-time? A. They should think about their life style, whether they are a couple and whether it would be welcome to their companion at home and children at home. Those who are single, absolutely take this course.
