Urgent Response to Ukraine Crisis “The self-referral level of Transcendental Consciousness is being enlivened by groups practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi® Program. The effect of these groups is going to be coherence, positivity—a lack of negativity in every phase of life on earth.” — Maharishi March 4, 2014 Dear Sidhas and Meditators of Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City, I am writing to you on a matter of great seriousness. If you have been watching the news, you will know that the situation in Ukraine has gotten perilously out of hand. Passions are inflamed, and powerful nations have taken menacing and provocative actions. Both NATO and the UN Security Council are in emergency sessions regarding what is being called “the gravest crisis of the 21st century.” In the past, whenever a threat would arise, Maharishi would quickly and forcefully rally us to exert a contravening influence of extreme positivity. Indeed, Maharishi started our Invincible America Assembly in response to a similar, serious threat that was spiraling out of control in Lebanon. The danger quickly dissipated. I am making an urgent call for all of us to come together for group program—immediately and for as long as it takes. We know we have a proven technology to dispel incoherence, aggression, and confusion. Fifty-two scientific studies—many published in leading, peer-reviewed journals—have made the Maharishi Effect one of the best-demonstrated phenomena in the history of the social sciences. If ever there was a time... now is the time for us to leverage our community’s special power. Here’s what we can all do now: Governors and Sidhas: Come to group program in our domes and flying halls. (Please bring your dome badge, as always.) Meditators: Come to group meditation. I’m very pleased to tell you that we have a new room for group meditation upstairs in the movie theater (Orpheum) building. You can enter via the north (rear) door. Our on-campus Peace Palace group meditation room will also be open, morning and evening. It will be ideal to coordinate your meditation time with group Yogic Flying®, which starts at 8:15 am and 5:45 pm daily. Here’s what we are doing nationwide: Thanks to the generosity of American and European donors, we have organized a major $100,000 Maharishi Yagya® for peace in Ukraine. (These funds and sankalpa were submitted yesterday, and already this morning we are seeing some signs of de-escalation.) We are putting out a call to Sidhas all over the U.S. to come and join the Invincible America Assembly in Fairfield. We are urging those who cannot come to participate in group program in their cities—even in small groups of 2-3 or more, as Maharishi recommended. We are urging those who cannot attend a group program to coordinate their individual programs with our Fairfield Yogic Flying times—and to do a good, long program. Please, for your own maximum happiness and as a matter of national and global urgency, enjoy some wonderful group programs in our domes and Yogic Flying halls, or in our group meditation rooms.
