 Devic and Asuric Forms of Mysticism
 

interesting post...

the two general modes of consciousness, 
material vs spiritual, is an ancient topic. 

there is a story in Upanishads of the first time the
devas and asuras approached Prajapati for knowledge
of the Self.  The asuras failed the test, and mistook 
self for Self, whereas the devas inquired further 
and came to know the true Self.

 The Luck of the World

sometimes we feel angry at this co-out of the clueless guru.
yes, it is our rotten luck that he still doesnt get it...
if he could present his knowledge in a fashion that is
understandable to the average joe, all would listen
adopt it and transform the world. But as bad luck would
have it, he still doesnt get it that his manner of
interaction is too weird, too much of a turnoff. g.

Subject: Maharishi requesting our help quickly! please read

Dear Governors, Sidhas and Meditators,

In keeping with his goals of reducing poverty on earth and getting
all of humankind living 
and working in buildings aligned with Nature's functioning,
Maharishi has developed a 
plan to use vast hectares of land in poor nations to grow Vedic
organic food and use the 
profits to re-build for the poor in the nation as well as to
underwrite the building of 
universities and hospitals, etc. Maharishi has asked us to
immediately contact stock and 
bond underwriting firms and investors in the global financial markets
about our plan for 
Global Reconstruction for World Peace through Maharishi Vedic Organic
Agriculture.  
 
This is a very practical and viable plan due to the enormous growth
of organic agriculture 
worldwide and the relationships we have developed over the years with
governments of 
poor countries that have large tracts of unused agricultural land for
development.  

We are contacting these investment firms over these coming few days
to assist with our 
$600 billion offering and get their response.  Therefore, if you have
any contacts at any 
such firms please let me know immediately.  If they are close
personal contacts and you 
would like to remain involved when they are contacted, please let me
know so we can work 
that out.  While the fundraising is large, investors with vision will
understand what we are 
doing and want to get involved -- from the investment viewpoint as
well as for the goal of 
poverty removal and world peace.  PLEASE ACT ON THIS NOW and let me
know if you can 
help right away. Please email to one of the following email addresses.

Dear Alumni and Friends,

As you know from the final days of the Guru Purnima conference,
Maharishi
has asked us to contact immediately stock and bond underwriting firms
and
investors in the global financial markets about our Global
Reconstruction
Program for World Peace through Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture.
This is
a very practical and viable plan due to the enormous growth of organic
agriculture worldwide and the relationships we have developed over
the years
with governments of poor countries that have large tracts of unused
agricultural land for development.

A team in Meru is currently contacting these investment firms in all

with our $600 billion
offering and give their response. Therefore, if you have any contacts
at any
such firms please send the information immediately to Sam Katz:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The response to date has been very encouraging.

If they are close personal contacts and you would like to remain
involved
when they are contacted, please mention this. While the fundraising is
large, investors with vision will understand what we are doing and
want to
get involved -- from the investment viewpoint as well as for the
goals of
poverty removal and world peace.

In addition to contacts in the financial markets, we are building our
senior
management team and looking for people with the following expertise
to help
lead this business:

* senior management of food processing,

* wholesaling and retailing companies,

* farm operating management,

* senior financial managers,

* senior insurance/risk officers, and

* senior management in general of larger and very successful
businesses with a global orientation.

If you have suggestions please send them also to Sam Katz:

PLEASE ACT ON THIS NOW and send a message right away if you have
contacts.

Please forward this message to Governors, Sidhas, or Meditators who
you feel
may also be able to suggest helpful contacts in either of these areas.

Thank you.

Jai Guru Dev

[FairfieldLife] Re: news from Global country (Money vs. Enlightenment)

2005-08-19 Thread george
  ...what is *most* offensive is the basic theory behind
  what Maharishi is proposing, which is that the relative
  world has the ability to prevent inner peace and enlight-
  enment, and that the only real way to realize these goals
  is to reshape the relative world.  It's as far from the
  eternal message of enlightenment as it is possible to get.

i think in the early years maharishi wanted to first establish
what, for us, was new knowledge re the eternal message of
enlightenment and Absolute Being.  For the sake of us
inexperienced westerners, he made the story black-and-white
to make it easier to take in. 

But now he is thinking that since we have been
meditating all these years, getting quite established in That.
so to speed things along he can introduce more complex
additional vedic approaches *in the relative* that support and
hasten the growth of Absolute,  so, iow i think you are getting
yourself offended by a polarity that is not really there in truth, but
was good for introductory lessons.

[FairfieldLife] More Indian press on the south-facing factor

2005-08-22 Thread george
Hindustan Times
author: S. Rajagopalan
Washington, August 21, 2005

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1468563,00050001.htm


South is bad vaastu for both Bush, Blair


Just close the White House's south entrance and see the difference. That is the 
advice for 
US President George W. Bush from John Hagelin, quantum physicist from Harvard 
and a 
Vedic architecture buff.

For making wiser and more intelligent decisions, Bush should start using the 
north 
entrance, says Hagelin. He has a similar prescription for Bush's 
comrade-in-arms, Tony 
Blair: Shut down the south entrance to 10 Downing Street.

This could mean the end of their troubles in Iraq. Nothing seems to be working 
yet. Vaastu 
may well bring the two leaders some respite.

Vedic architecture, incorporating Vaastu principles, is just about catching on 
in the US — a 
$ 72-million tower, touted as the world's largest Vedic green office building, 
is now 
coming up on Washington's outskirts.

Much of the Vaastu propagation is being carried out by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's 
band of 
followers like Hagelin, who heads an organisation called the US Peace 
Government.

Nothing good will ever come from the government as long as the leaders are 
living and 
working in the disorderly influence of improperly designed and oriented 
buildings. The 
leaders should flee these old buildings as they were hit by an earthquake, 
says Hagelin.

His counsel is not confined to Bush and Blair. At a press conference here, 
Hagelin also 
wanted the Indian government to abandon the Parliament buildings because of 
their 
skewed entrances. Has this come up before?

Closing the south-facing entrances is only a stop-gap measure until properly 
designed 
and oriented offices and residences can be built for Mr Bush, Mr Blair and all 
government 
leaders.

The positive effects of a proper eastern orientation on the brain and 
behaviour are now 
being documented by modern science, says Hagelin. He speaks of recent EEG 
research 
that points to greater efficiency of neuronal functioning when the head is 
oriented towards 
the east, compared to the south.

Says Jonathan Lipman, the chief Vedic architect from the Maharishi stable: 
Beyond beauty 
and engineering, architecture should be able to create influences.

[FairfieldLife] assertion: Coherence rising in world consciousness

2005-08-27 Thread george
Coherence rising in world consciousness: 
Summary of last week's positive trends

by US Peace Government Media Team

Global Country of World Peace
26 August 2005

Just over four months ago, Maharishi launched the first stage of his global 
peace 
programme to purify world consciousness and prepare the way for Heaven on 
Earth—Sat 
Yuga. Maharishi announced that he had established growing numbers of Vedic 
Pandits in 
India, whose daily performance of Yogic Flying and Yagya would create coherence 
in the 
collective consciousness of India. With the rise of coherence, Maharishi said, 
there would 
be a corresponding rise of positivity and harmony within India, and, 
increasingly, 
throughout the region and the world. 

It is clear that Maharishi's programme has produced its intended peaceful 
effect, as there 
is an unmistakable trend towards reduced conflict and increasing friendliness 
and 
harmony throughout the world—in particular, in the former major hotspots—or 
nuclear 
flashpoints—around the globe. 

This week, in Asia, we continue to see the strongest influence of coherence 
created by the 
Vedic Pandits in India. India and Pakistan are continuing in their steady march 
towards 
peace, as are China and Taiwan. And what would have been unimaginable even a 
few 
months ago—the crisis over North Korea's repeated threats to test and use 
nuclear 
weapons is abating as coherence rises in the Korean peninsula, and friendliness 
replaces 
50 years of bitter rivalry. 

Reuters: Koreas; Warming ties between old foes 

Newsweek: Extraordinary relationship between the two Koreas 'This is an 
extraordinary 
moment in the relationship between the two Koreas. This week, for the first 
time since 
1945, North and South Koreans jointly commemorated their liberation from 
Japanese 
colonizers at the end of World War II in Seoul. The North Korean delegation 
visited the 
South Korean Parliament, another first. The two countries also staged a joint 
cultural event 
where 50,000 spectators chanted, ''Unified Korea, Unified Korea''. The lovefest 
doesn't 
stop there. Trade is reaching new heights. And cooperation across the 
demilitarized zone 
is proceeding at dizzying speed.' 

Reuters: South, North Korea reach agreement in farm talks 

A publication from South Korea called Joongang Ilbo published an article with 
the 
headline: South Korea's opinion of North improves dramatically. 

The New York Times: N. Korea opening door to tourists 

The biggest stumbling block to a peaceful resolution to the North Korean 
nuclear standoff 
has been the North's stubborn determination to pursue the development of 
nuclear 
weapons against the wishes and pleas of the entire world community. Now, 
suddenly and 
unexpectedly, the North appears to be sending a message of accomodation: 

The Washington Post: N. Korea may be willing to drop nuke plan— 'North Korea 
apparently 
is willing to abandon its nuclear weapons programs, with a breakthrough 
possible in the 
current round of international talks, South Korea's foreign minister said this 
week.' 

And finally, this headline in The Washington Post, utterly inconceivable just a 
few months 
ago, reads: Nations make good progress in N. Korea talks— 'The drive for a 
six-nation 
agreement to end North Korea's nuclear weapons program is quite unexpectedly 
picking 
up speed.' 

The rise of coherence in the collective consciousness of the Asian region has 
brought an 
end to more than 30 years of bloody fighting between the Indonesian government 
and 
Aceh rebels. This week, for the first time, Aceh celebrated Indonesia's 
Independence Day. 
Islam Online covered the story with an article entitled: Aceh Celebrates 
Indonesia's 
Independence Day— 'Two days after signing the peace agreement with the

  Einer flipped out, Rick? I could see that. there
  was always this schizotypal quality about him.
  
  He flipped out big time at the Manor. Straight
  jacket stuff.
  
  Too bad. How is he today? Many people that have the
  genetic propensity for psychosis never fully recover.
  They're always a little off in some way.
 
 I would say he's a little off (pot calling the kettle black?) but he's a
 sincere, ardent seeker. He just got married to someone he just met on the
 recert course and is headed to San Antonio to do the Peace Palace in the
 mall thing. Sounds like a nice big bundle of karma to me. I wish him the
 best.

i happened to be staying at the Rukmapura, the day Einer got married...
found it ironic that his wedding procession into the Bramasthan was done
in the Ram Raj/Tony Nader style, led by a kilt-wearing bag-pipper.
what is so funny is, the bag piper was Irish musical ace Tim Britton,
who is *not allowed* to perform on campus because of seeing Amma...
yet he is the featured attraction at a wedding in Vedic City!
sort of highlights the difference between how things are in
Bevan's turf, as compared to Raja Bob Wynn's turf. (FWIW)

 Wow. Global Finals with not a single placed winner from any other

 serious National psychosis.

Destination ImagiNation Global Finals took place May 25-28 at the 
University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  During the three days of 
competition 900 teams (8,000 kids) compete in 5 different 
challenges.  Each challenge has three divisions, elementary, middle 
and secondary/university.

There are approximately 12,600 (80,000 kids) teams that compete in DI 
worldwide.  Only 10 % go on to Global Finals. There are 12 countries 
that participate: Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Guatemala, Korea, 
Mexico, Singapore, South Africa, United Kingdom, Venezuela and the 
United States. Most of the teams are from the US.



Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment Tops the World in 
Creativity Competition Winning More First-Place and Second-Place 
Awards Than Any Other School in the World! 



Not only did Maharishi School students win more first- and second-
place awards than any other school in the world Destination 
ImagiNation competition held last weekend in Knoxville, they also won 
more first- and second-place awards than the entire state of 
California — and every other state, with the exception of Texas. 

Their total of five first- and second-place awards compares to a 
total of four won by the 27 schools entered from California. Schools 
from Texas won a total of seven, and Wisconsin had three. All other 
states and countries had fewer first- and second-place awards.

There were 860 teams competing from nearly as many schools — all
of 
them at the global competition by virtue of having been state or 
country champs. There were 40–60 teams in each category of 
competition.

Unprecedented Success

This level of success is just unprecedented, said coach
Mark 
Headlee. No other school that I know of has ever done anything
like 
this.

Speculating on the reasons for their success, Mr. Headlee noted that 
being a private school or being highly intelligent students
doesn't 
explain it, because the same is true of many of the other 
participating schools. In fact, schools often reserve this program 
for their top students in the talented-and-gifted program, in 
contrast to Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment®, where
any 
student can participate.

He believes their success is the direct result of Consciousness-
BasedSM education. Students are able to integrate this knowledge 
with their creative expression. The Transcendental Meditation 
technique is the only variable by which you can explain this 
phenomenon.

Destination ImagiNation

Destination ImagiNation is an international creative-problem-solving 
program that develops cooperative teamwork and critical thinking, as 
well as building technical and performance skills. The participants 
come up with ingenious and often wildly entertaining solutions to 
complex challenges. There are five separate problem challenges for 
each of three levels of education: elementary, middle, and secondary.

Our Maharishi School winning teams were: 

Middle level Live! It's RaDIo DI – 1st place 
Sec. level Sudden SerenDIpity – 1st place 
Middle level DIsigning Bridges – 2nd place 
Sec. level DIsigning Bridges – 2nd place 
Sec. level Live! It's RaDIo DI – 2nd  place 

In addition the elementary Live! It's RaDIo DI team got 5th
place. 

The secondary Live! It's RaDIo DI team, received a Renaissance
award. 
Maharishi School sent 12 teams to the State Destination ImagiNation 
Competition held in Grinnell College at the end of March.  Our teams 
competed with 122 other teams from around the state.  Seven of our 
teams came in first place qualifying them to represent the state of 
Iowa at Global Finals.

kirk, you must have missed the original article (below)
which supports exactly what you are saying, that
south-facing entrance = bad, AND north-facing bed = bad


A second study looked at whether the orientation of one's bed 
can affect health and well-being. University researchers 
collaborated with a physician in private practice in Ottumwa 
to give a questionnaire to 167 patients in order to assess 
each person's relative health and quality of life to see how that
correlated with direction of sleep and with the direction of the 
home's entrance.

The results showed that individuals sleeping with their heads 
pointing north had significantly *lower scores* on the 
Mental Health Inventory compared to patients who slept in other 
directions.

In addition, patients whose homes had south entrances had 
significantly poorer overall scores on the standardized Mental 
Health Inventory than patients with north, northeast, or east 
entrances. And they also reported more financial problems.

[FairfieldLife] Impending Crisis - a Vedic Astrology perspective

2006-07-20 Thread George DeForest
Maharishi is not alone in forseeing trouble in the coming summer months. Sam
Geppi is a Vedic Astrologer in San Francisco (not in the TM movement) whose
daily forcast ring very true for me quite often... Therefore, i post his
prognosis for this recent transit of Mars into Leo:

--

MARS ATTACKS!!

Have you noticed a certain irritability lately, 
since around the end of last week??. 
Well this is because Mars has awakened. 

Mars *had been* very powerful in his own sign 
for seven months. That ended in March, and 
since then he has been in signs where he's 
not quite as assertive as he would like to be. 

First in Taurus, where he becomes quite earthy and sensual;
next in Gemini where his energy becomes unfocused and 
leads to mental aggravation and difficult communication;
and most recently in the sign of Cancer where he is 
considered debilitated. 

Mars is a planet that gives strength. 

The strength of Mars is not in his ability to fight but 
in his ability to make peace -- that's true strength, 
having the courage to consider other options -- 
which includes reflection (the Moon) 
and peacemaking (Venus). 

Wherever Mars goes he tries to strengthen 
that area of life through disciplined action. 
Action is related to the fire element 
and thus Mars does well in fire signs. 

Fire is the element of our instinctive animal nature 
which senses the best course of action to take at any time. 

Mars has a act first, think later mentality. 
Thus Mars is very powerful when we have a problem to fix 
and no time to waste fixing it. 

When he is powerful, he will get to work, 
logically determine what the best course of action is 
and then do it. 

However when Mars is involved 
in our relationships for example, 
he'll try to fix it by logically figuring out what's wrong 
and then doing something about it. 

When Mars is involved in a conversation, 
he will logically figure out what's wrong 
and then do something about it. 

This is his nature yet we can see very clearly 
Mars involved in relationships, or in communication, 
can create problems. 

This is why he creates arguments. 
He's a planet of strength and he's trying to strengthen 
what he sees as a weakness. 
Yet there can be a destructive quality here. 

Relationships for example are not meant 
to be strengthened through logic and action. 

The best way to strengthen a relationship 
is through compromise, love and acceptance, 
things related to the Moon and Venus. 
Not trying to change or fix but accept. 

Mars's job is not to accept but to change and fix 
that which needs to be changed and fixed. 

In and of itself it's beautiful, but 
most of the time Mars should not be very present 
in our interactions. 

Just like in a conversation -- who wants to talk to 
someone who is trying to fix them 
and fix the conversation toward 
what is right in their mind ... not me!! 

Mercury is the best one to do the talking. 
He listens to everyone, he is curious, 
he is funny, he's playful, he's not 
married to a way of how things should or shouldn't be -- 
what is logically correct or what is incorrect. 

That's Mars is job, Mercury's job is to help decide 
what's right or wrong, but Mercury himself sees 
value in all ideas as being equal to someone.



*Mars in Leo* will try to strengthen our sense of identity, 
our truthful identity to action in discipline. 

Mars is in a powerful position for the next two months or so. 

This is a good time to get back into your Yoga routine, 
Martial arts or any sort of powerful discipline 
aligned with  action. 

We have all been feeling a little weak and powerless 
to free ourselves from a certain level of 
luxury or laziness for the last several months 
as Mars went through Gemini and then Cancer. 

Especially Cancer because he was also joined Saturn, 
we may have fallen into some very lazy routines, 
perhaps went back into some situations 
out of weakness, revisiting them rather than 
courageously moving forward, etc. 

This tendency may have been compounded 
more recently by Mercury retrograde in Cancer also. 

The sign of Cancer has been holding 
at least two malefic planets for months now. 

Cancer is the sign of vulnerability, compromise 
and nourishment. Cancer is not a sign where we 
act powerfully and with courage, 
that's why Mars is debilitated there. 

As we've all been lacking in some courage recently 
and this powerful Mars is ready to strengthen us. 

Yet we must be very careful because 
we may have accumulated a lot of frustration 
and have some frustrating circumstances in our life. 



Be careful with Mars declaring war on an external enemy. 

The true source of strength is 
having the courage to face our self 
and our own weaknesses. 

We are the source of everything, 
the good and bad. 

As soon as we take responsibility for this, 
liberation is not far behind. 

As long as we blame others 
for perceived weaknesses 
we're in a deep crisis.

Vedic Astrology MARRIAGE TEST / COMPATIBILITY REPORT

John Lennon + Yoko  Auspicious!



When John Lennon met Yoko Ono in 1966, he was already a superstar with the Beatles and she had achieved moderate success as an avant-garde conceptual artist.

The media reported that they fell madly in love. Truer to the point is that he was completely bowled over by her - as revealed in the Marriage Compatibility Test below. The "Working-Class Hero" dumped his wife Cynthia and surrendered to a woman seven years older than him, and twice-divorced! 

The age gap reversal is the first point of incompatibility. The Vedic texts condemn marriage between an older woman and a younger man because it brings on destructive consequences. Anybody tempted to make light of this prohibition should examine John's life, before and after, the way it ended, and how the relationship contributed to the break-up of the Beatles as a group. 

John was the idol of millions of hopeful fans all over the world. But he was no longer the man he used to be after he married Yoko in 1969. It was a lopsided match. She was the much stronger person and completely overwhelmed him. 

The Vedic texts state that for marital felicity, the male must be equal to or superior to the female. In this relationship, it is the other way round - as revealed by the Test. Witness the lopsided configuration in subtests 2 and 11 below - Manusha (human) versus Rakshasa (demoniac), and Shudra (working class) versus Brahmana (intellectual). (The behaviourial patterns corresponding to these terms are explained in detail in our Lunar Profile sample report)

The full range of John's talents and abilities was submerged in this relationship where he adored and looked up to her for direction, even in intellectual areas. He relinquished the running of his music business empire to her. The prolific songwriter even devoted time to grooming her to be a partner in his act. His devotion bore fruit in the Plastic Ono Band - which is widely acclaimed as John's best post-Beatle album. Incidentally, in one of the tracks he wrote for this album, John aspires to be the "Working Class Hero" - hailing to his working class background and emphasising the output of subtest 11 on Varna (occupational inclination).


About the only area where this couple were on equal footing was in the bed (recall the infamous bed-in stunts they staged). Witness the pass in subtest 5 below on Yoni kuta or sexual compatibility, although even here Yoko happens to be the male of the corresponding animal species! 

Yoko's control and influence over John was near-absolute, and she probably realised the depressing effects of it as well. An infamous chapter of their relationship has her putting him out on a leash to have an affair with their assistant May Pang. This 18-month tryst was reportedly engineered by Yoko as a trial separation, and after she felt that he had had enough, she just told him it was time to come back to her. John, as usual, obliged.

May Pang wrote about it in her book "The Lost Weekend", where she described a noticeable change in John's demeanour during this period. He was reported to be relaxed, loveable and personable; collaborating and socialising with friends more than he'd done previously. It was during this period that he saw more of Julian, his son from his first marriage with Cynthia, than he'd done for a long time. Quite different, in other words, to the person he was while with Yoko.



If the first-hand accounts are true, then the subjugation of John is probably worse than what's printed in this Marriage Report. The picture on the right, where he snuggles up in a foetal position against Yoko, is an apt statement on the relationship. Yoko wielded incredible influence, nay, authority, over John.

What's incredulous is that he chose to endure a subservient role in the relationship even though there's practically no long-term friendship between them. Witness the back-to-back failures in Rasi and Graha Maitram (subtests 6 and 7 below) - which indicate only misery, sorrow and enmity.
In short, the marriage was hell - at least for John, although he did not do anything drastic to change the status quo, preferring instead to wax philosophical. This is the man who would rather imagine there's no hell or heaven, as he sang in another of his more famous songs.



Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky


This unhappy relationship wouldn't have lasted as long as it did, but for John's capacity to endure the suffering and relinquish ground inch-by-inch until his tragic death on December 8, 1980 at the hands of an assasin.

like to continue 

in that experience forever -- then we know ours is 
the path of bliss. 

We know the path is not a task -- it is an automatic draw 
into the ocean of bliss. 
These are the experiences of bliss from the very fortunate 
people who are 
creating Heaven on Earth. Well done. Continue.

today, applications to the Invincible America Course topped 
1950, surpassing the Super Radiance requirement of 1730 for 
the nation. And more and more of these course participants 
are arriving: yesterday afternoon, there were over 1100 Sidhas 
flying together in Fairfield and in Washington . 
   

  Everyone 
who has registered for the course should come quickly to join

  DAY 
2 PRESS REPORT 

Stock Market Continues to Climb During Second Day of Invincible 
America Course 
  
Watch 
What Happens Tomorrow 
  Wall 
Street continued its unexpected climb yesterday, gaining 53 
points following Monday's dramatic spike, while the price 
of gold and crude oil dropped markedly during the second day 
of the Invincible America Course now being held 
in Washington , D.C. , and Iowa . Nearly 1200 coherence-creating 
experts have gathered to practice Yogic Flying together in 
large groups to create coherent collective consciousness--the 
basis of prosperity, harmony, and invincibility for the nation. 


  Rising 
stock markets and declining gold and oil prices are all strong 
indicators of rising optimism and confidence in the country's 
economic future. Experts predicted the upheaval in the Middle 
East would depress Wall Street and send gold and oil skyrocketing. 
To the surprise of most economists, the opposite occurred. 
This unshakeable national psychology is due to the stabilizing 
influence of the Yogic Flyers on the collective consciousness 
of the nation, said Dr. John Hagelin, Director of the 
Institute of Science , Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi 
University of Management, who is leading the Invincible America 
Course. 

   

  Dr. 
Hagelin urged to press to monitor the good news daily: Watch 
what happens tomorrow. 
   


  REMEMBER: 
MONEY IS NOT AN OBSTACLE! 
  Due 
to the great generosity of several peace-loving donors, any 
Yogic Flyer who wishes to attend the Invincible America Course 
in Washington , D.C. , may do so for as long as he or she

“America will never get better until we make it better”
AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL SIDHAS 

It’s been our lifelong dream to live in a peaceful nation and a peaceful world. For too long, we have looked to our government to provide the leadership to create that bright new world—often growing frustrated when the government did not deliver on our expectations. But, as Maharishi has repeatedly reminded us, the government is not free. The government can only do exactly what it is doing, because it is governed by the collective consciousness of the nation. 

Creating peace is our
expertise. With the exquisite guidance of Maharishi and the blessings of the Vedic tradition, we have been given the supreme technique to create harmonious collective consciousness. America will never change, the Middle East will never change, nothing will ever change—nothing will ever get better—until we make it better, until we create integrated national consciousness. 

There has never been a better opportunity—or a more crucial moment—to do just that. There are more than 2100 people who have applied for the course. They invite you to join them in their flying halls—to make it happen now. If your finances are tight, you can come to Washington and stay at a fine hotel with all your expenses for food and housing paid for by a generous, peace-loving donor. And scholarships are available for Fairfield, as well.
We need you.
Yes, the numbers are good enough now to create a wave of good feeling, and to influence the stock markets -- but not yet enough to put a stop to the violence and slaughter in the Middle East, which is a powder keg that threatens to spiral out of control. 


I know many of you have business and family commitments this summer. But many who are now at the course had similar commitments. They resolved to come despite everything—and Nature supported their resolve.

America needs you in Washington and in Fairfield/Maharishi Vedic City. Please do everything you can to come as soon as possible—and stay for as long as you can.
Jai Guru Dev

MAHARISHI: SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW 

“It is very fortunate that you are in the midst of 1,000 Yogic Flyers—and that more and more are coming. But even 1,000 people are good enough to show indications of betterment in the national economy. Better national economy means more harmony, more confidence, less difficulties, more evenness. It is a very good thing. Let us see what comes tomorrow.”—Maharishi, speaking to the course


COURSE PARTICIPANT: I AM A NEW SIDHA
“I was initiated into the TM-Sidhi program last Winter. I am having so much fun on this course—I really enjoy the new hour-long flying time. I am experiencing crystal clear transcending and have the feeling of ‘floating’ on the finest level when I practice the Sutras. Yogic Flying is becoming more and more effortless—especially with the big group numbers. I feel more established in the Self—more established in pure consciousness. I would love to see this hour-long program remain an option for all students even when school resumes next month.”—Course participant who is also a student at Maharishi University of Management
I FELT LIKE I WAS FLYING IN THE LIGHT OF GOD
“I felt like I was flying in the light of God. And then after about 40 minutes I had a big explosion of unbelievable happiness and joy—it just kept exploding as I kept flying and laughing with everyone around me. I flew for over an hour and it was fantastic and fun and blissful. After I left the Dome, even the air felt alive and pulsating. I didn't have anything to say to anyone. It was just perfect in the moment—incredibly peaceful, clear and bright! I am sure that without a doubt I would not be having such great experiences without all the blissful flyers around me!”—Course participant in Maharishi Vedic City

Positive News Coverage Goes Around the World
Glowing news coverage of the initial success of the Invincible America Course has gone around the world, including a wonderful story that appeared yesterday in newspapers throughout New Zealand (see below). And even though our Course started just five days ago, there are growing signs of appreciation by the world press for Maharishi’s initiatives to create peace and invincibility for every nation—including Switzerland, where a campaign is now under way to establish a group of 300 Yogic Flyers (see below).
New York Banking Commission Approves
Establishment of the Global Financial Capital 
More outstanding news: The State of New York Banking Commission approved yesterday the establishment of the "Global Financial Capital of New York." Maharishi conceived and inaugurated the Global Financial Center two months ago to "eliminate poverty and promote peace and prosperity throughout the world." It will succeed where existing financial institutions have failed, by harnessing the science of Vastu Vidya-- Vedic Architecture in harmony with Natural Law to bring full support of Natural Law and good economic fortune for the nation and the world.
"The Global Financial Capital of New York will crown America with invincibility," said Dr. Paul Potter, the Raja of New York. "The doors will open within a few weeks at our beautiful, east-facing, landmark 70 Broad Street building in New York City."
We congratulate Raja Paul on this marvelous achievement -- and all those who are flying together in Washington and Maharishi Vedic City who have created this wave of coherence for America.
We look forward to escalating good news from America as our Course numbers continue to rise. Watch what happens tomorrow!

(July 27, 2006) More than 1200 peace-creating yogic flying experts from throughout North America have assembled in Washington, D.C., and in Fairfield, Iowa, to create a positive upsurge in national consciousness and radiate harmony throughout the world. 
Organisers claim that after just two days the first signs of the success of the assemblies helped the stock market record one of its largest one-day gains of the year, resulting in headlines such as Wall Street Euphoria and Blissful Shock -- with the only blue chip stock in negative territory being Phillip Morris cigarette company.
Maharishi University’s Science, Technology and Public Policy director Dr John Hagelin said such positive news was predicted in advance, and although the required number of peace-creating experts for the United States was 1730, the flyers were assembling 3500 as a safety factor. "As the number of Yogic Flyers increases towards 3500, the world press will have more and more good news to report from America," Dr. Hagelin said. "The government will enjoy greater success. Peace and prosperity will reign, and violence and conflict will subside as America rises to become a lighthouse of coherence and invincibility for the world."
BOTE (Switzerland)
"Yogic Flyers as Knights in Shining Armour"
The Swiss Peace Government wants to make Switzerland invincible
and celebrate the dawn of a new fortune for the whole world. 
(This article appeared in several newspapers throughout Switzerland, including on the front page of the newspaper Bote. Here are excerpts.) 
(July 28, 2008) The program for an invincible nation is the first phase of the global peace program of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi -- the Indian who is the founder of Transcendental Meditation. In October 2000 he created the Global Country of World Peace as a "country without borders for all peace loving citizens of the world." Its goal: It wants to raise each country to invincibility and create lasting world peace.
According to Felix Kagi, the Raja of Switzerland, the Swiss initiative wants to mobilize in the country 300 experts who have already been trained as Yogic Flyers. They are to create an integrated collective consciousness -- the basis for an invincible nation. In addition, all over Switzerland Invincibility Schools will be created, in which the students will practise Yogic Flying together. "The Peace Government of Switzerland takes full responsibility to make Switzerland invincible," Felix Kagi says. The existing government is not able to free the country from problems. The Swiss Federal Council can only do exactly what it has been doing, because it is governed by the collective consciousness of the nation. "If the collective consciousness is incoherent, the government will be

(July

The good news is now in from the first week of the Invincible 
America Course. 
  The 
stock market soared this week, posting its highest weekly 
gain in 14 months, and the price of oil dropped sharply as 
the U.S. mobilized international support for a Mideast cease 
fire.
  Credit 
for this sudden and unexpected upsurge of positive news goes 
to the 1200 peace-creating experts assembled in Washington, 
D.C., and Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, who have been practicing 
Yogic Flying together in groups for the past week to create 
coherent national consciousness -- the basis for a more positive, 
invincible America, according to world-renowned quantum physicist 
Dr. John Hagelin, who is leading the Invincible America Course. 

  Rising 
stock markets and declining oil prices are strong indicators 
of growing optimism and confidence in the country's economic 
future. Experts predicted that the upheaval in the Middle 
East would depress Wall Street and send oil prices skyrocketing. 
To the surprise of most economists, the opposite occurred. 
"This unshakeable national psychology is due to the stabilizing 
influence of the Yogic Flyers on the collective consciousness 
of the nation," Dr. Hagelin said. 

  Dr. 
Hagelin said the good news was predicted publicly in advance 
based on 30 years of published scientific research on the 
collective effects of the Transcendental Meditation program 
and its more advanced Yogic Flying technique. 
  "The 
research proves that as little as the square root of one percent 
of the population of a country practicing Yogic Flying together 
in a group is sufficient to reduce negative trends and strengthen 
positive social and economic tendencies throughout the entire 
population," said Dr. Hagelin, who serves as the Director 
of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy 
at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. 

  Dr. 
Hagelin explained that the number of Yogic Flyers required 
to produce this coherent effect for the United States is 1730. 
However, he said, the initial group of 1200 experts is more 
than enough to create a calming, stabilizing effect in national 
consciousness. 
  "As 
the number of Yogic Flyers rises to 2000 in the coming days, 
the world press will be reporting better and better economic 
and social news. We are transforming the nation before the 
eyes of the world. I urge the press to watch what happens 
tomorrow," Dr. Hagelin said.

July 30: INVINCIBILITY UPDATE





"OPEN THE EYES AND COMMAND THE TREASURY"
"Close the eyes to stir the Constitution of the Universe -- engage the almighty power of Total Natural Law, the Treasury of God -- then open the eyes and . . . cash in! This is your next phase of training: to begin to command the Cosmic Treasury -- to cash in."
 --Maharishi, speaking on what will happen as people stay on the Invincible America Course, and when Marble Colonies are built in Maharishi Vedic City, creating a center of business and untold wealth for Governors and Sidhas 

STOCK MARKET SOARS!
Posts Record Gains During First Week of Invincibility Course
The good news is now in from the first week of our course. The stock market soared this week, posting its highest weekly gain in 14 months! And the price of oil dropped sharply as the U.S. -- in an about face—began working towards a Mideast ceasefire. Here are a few headlines:
CNBC: "Wall Street Euphoria" 
CNBC: "Blissful Shock" 
MSNBC: "Market Sizzles:

The Washington Post: "Oil prices fall as US takes step to end Mideast war" 
I congratulate everyone who has come to the course to create this extraordinary upsurge of positive news. Our numbers have been enough to create a wave of good feeling, national confidence, and euphoria in the markets -- but not yet enough to stop the violence in the Middle East and create national invincibility. 
I know many of you have business and family commitments this summer. But many who are now at the course had similar commitments.

NEW MARBLE COLONY TO ACCOMMODATE THOUSANDS OF FLYERS 
The beautiful experiences of bliss from course participants and the astonishing good news coming from the U.S. stock market (see below) inspired Maharishi to announce yesterday a plan to sustain the coherent influence on a permanent basis. Maharishi asked us to quickly build Marble Colonies -- Vastu homes -- in Maharishi University of Management and Maharishi Vedic City, so that one or two thousand more people can come from all over the country and fly as soon as possible. Sidhas can come and live in the new homes, or they can visit for a week or more -- and participate in this "Cosmic Yagya" to maintain a high level of harmony and integration in national consciousness. 

"Let's provide comfortable accommodations with all the advantages of high-speed Internet and video conferencing, so that anyone can come and do long program -- and run their business afterwards." --Maharishi 

URGENT NEED FOR HOUSING -- PLEASE HELP! 
Students are returning to Maharishi University of Management in less than three weeks, and we have to make room for them on campus! (The good news: the number of new students is still growing!) As a result, many course participants will have to move out of dorms rooms. But we don't want them to leave the course! So we are asking EVERYONE who has a home in Fairfield, on or off campus -- whether Vastu or not -- to take in one or more Flyers. (The University does not charge course participants for campus housing; homeowners may do as they wish.) If you have a room or rooms to offer, please email immediately Deanna Freeburg at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and give her your details and contact information. (Or use the form in the domes.) This is especially crucial right now as we expect hundreds more people to arrive in the coming days! So please help! 
NEW BUSINESS CENTER OPENS ON CAMPUS
For course participants who need a computer or high-speed Internet connection, or a quiet place to make some calls, we now have a fully equipped business center with everything you need for your business activities. Come to room 119 in the Dreier Building.
WE NEED PHONERS
We are already having such a beautiful effect on the country. But we need more Flyers! We are 2/3 of the way to an invincible, peaceful America -- to our super-radiance requirement of 1730 in the domes. We need volunteers to help call all the active Sidhas who have not yet heard and/or responded to Maharishi's call. We have a phone bank in our beautiful Dreier building, so please come and join us to make calls anytime!

"Stock Market Calmed By Yogis"
(July 29, 2006) The stock market was up over 3 percent for the week. You didn't hear this on CNBC, but the surprising rally was the work of the 1,200 yogic flyers assembled in Iowa and Washington, D.C., over the past four days.
The yogic flyers, it seems, have been creating a "calm and coherence" that's quieting market "fears and anxieties." John Hagelin, the director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of Management, believes this was just the beginning. "As the number of

  Dear 
Governors and Sidhas, 


As you probably know, the Invincible America Course continues 
to blossom for all Course Participants in its beautiful progression 
of experiences of Higher States of Consciousness and life-changing 
commentaries on those experiences by Maharishi. After a brief 
pause in the daily meetings with Maharishi during the Raja 
and Raj Rajeshwari coronation in Vlodrop, the experience sessions 
have resumed without missing a beat in their richness, warmth, 
depth and divinity. 

Maharishi has described that the experiences of all of the 
CPs are on a slippery slope as they progress to the 
experience of ever finer levels of Self Referral Consciousness, 
the junction point, the Constitution of the Universe, from 
where the administration of the universe is carried out effortlessly. 
And today he reiterated that we want to repeat these experiences 
over and over again in the long programs on the Course so 
that the fibers of the brain become habituated to function 
on this level all the time and thereby that bliss, that balanced 
state, is all the time on the level of the mind, intellect 
and ego. This is such a unique and rare opportunity for everyone. 
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone who comes on the 
Course simply does not want to leave! 

With this, we want to accomplish 2 goals: 


 
  
 
  To 
enable as many of you as possible to join the Course for 
a day, a weekend, a week, or longer; and  
 
  To 
support our permanent group of Course Participants that 
are on scholarship to help create an Invincible Washington 
DC area and Invincible America. There is a wonderfully 
complementary relationship between the larger group size 
and deeper experiences, so we want to keep our group big 
and growing! And Maharishi has asked that we do everything 
possible to keep a large group here in the DC area. 




  
  
To do this, we have created 3 new, flexible Come 
Anytime  plans to participate in the Course , 
including the beautiful experience sessions with Maharishi. 
So here is how you can easily and flexibly join the Course 
and support the group: 


 
  
 
  Normal 
Course Fee: $25/day (housing and meals separate);  
  
 
  Come 
Anytime Weekends  Course Plan: $108  (54% 
savings) come any or all weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) 
of a month (housing and meals separate)  

 
  Come 
Anytime Monthly  Course Plan: $200  (73% 
savings)  come anytime during a month ( housing and 
meals separate)  
 
  Come 
Anytime Six Month  Course Plan: $1,080  (76% 
savings)  come anytime during a six month period 
(housing and meals separate)  



  
  
Also, vegetarian lunches and dinners are available for $15/meal 
if you reserve by noon the day before. 

Our desire is that every Governor and Sidha joins one of these 
plans. By doing this, you will enjoy rapid growth to Enlightenment

Outer Peace   
By LILY KOPPEL
  
In the 1960’s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi -- called the giggling guru by the press
-- gained a measure of celebrity for promoting his mantra-repetition technique
of Transcendental Meditation around the world and for serving a brief stint as
spiritual adviser to the Beatles. His message was that with the proper
techniques, each individual could find peace, as one of his disciples, George
Harrison, sang, within. Today, his organization claims to hold U.S. assets
of $300 million and to have taught six million adherents (training now costs
$2,500) in T.M. centers around the world. It also operates a university in
Fairfield, Iowa .
   
  
Maharishi, who is believed to be 89, now confines himself to two rooms in his
golden-hued log house in the small Dutch village of Vlodrop . Although he has
emerged only a few times in the past year -- for fresh air on a chauffeured
drive -- he contends that his most important work lies ahead of him. His first
50 years, he says, were merely a warm-up for his goal of creating world
peace by, among other things, rebuilding national capitals according to his
harmony-producing precepts. Inner peace, it turns out, is not enough. 
  
When I visited Vlodrop this spring, Maharishi agreed to a rare interview. I
was permitted in his house but was not allowed into his upstairs quarters. His
followers told me that seclusion preserves his energy and that he talks in
person to only a small circle of attendants. I spoke to Maharishi by
videoconference from a downstairs room where his red velvet gilded throne sat
empty. 
  
Framed in a flat-screen monitor, he appeared more than ever a mystical
creature, his thin face sketched with a white beard. He was dressed in his
customary white silk dhoti, a fresh necklace of yellow petals around his neck.
His aim, he explained in English, is to create coherence in a world undone by
our stressed brains, artificial national borders, terrorism and irrational
violence. My coherence-creating groups are going to put out all this
mischief-mongership in the world, he said in a high-pitched voice, holding
President Bush up as the greatest mischief-monger of all. The world is going
to come out to be a neat and clean world. All these countries will fade
away.
   
Maharishi regards his own 65-acre enclave as the capital of a Global Country
of World Peace; it even has its own currency, the raam. He lives here with 50
of his adherents -- including his minister of science and technology, John
Hagelin, a Harvard-educated physicist, but sees little of the bearded
Westerners who come for long meditation retreats or research projects. The
compound is in a parallel universe to Vlodrop, with its 2,000 locals. One of
the few who has crossed over is the town florist, who practices T.M. and each
day removes all the thorns from the yogi’s daily order of bushels of organic
roses. 
  
Maharishi is not content to promote peace just inside his compound. Hagelin
has run for president of the United States three times, and recently,
Maharishi chose 40 countries in which to support corps of yogic fliers. The
human fliers supposedly use surges of energy to physically lift themselves off
the ground. Like a number of aspiring religious thinkers these days, the
Maharishi and Hagelin say they believe that the physics of quantum mechanics,
with its leaping particles and abundant paradoxes, can be combined with
ancient traditions into a new philosophy that stresses the world-changing
potential of a transcendental consciousness. Maharishi argues, for instance,
that when the square root of 1 percent of the earth’s population -- that is,
8,000 people -- meditate all at once, the result will be the diffusion of a
higher state of consciousness into the atmosphere. 
   
Another element of his vision is to rebuild the world according to Vedic
principles. He has called for the demolition of improperly oriented
buildings, believing them to be toxic, and includes among them the United
Nations and the White House. There are proposals for New York and Paris to be
cleared to make way for 3,000 marble peace palaces. (His organization operates
such palaces in Bethesda Md, Lexington Ky, Houston and Fairfield). Maharishi
is also convinced that every country’s capital is wrongly located. In India
and America , his organization has bought land near what it calls each
country’s brahmastan -- or the geographical and energy center. The future
capital of the United States would be Smith Center Kan, population 1,931. 
   
Despite the support of celebrities from David Lynch to Donovan, Maharishi has
been disappointed in his efforts to recreate the world. Hagelin's poor showing
in the 2000 presidential race did not lift his spirits. Locked in legal
battles, his organization has not gained permission to raze a Franciscan
monastery on its property in Vlodrop. It was also unable to establish
sovereignty on 100 acres of Rota, an island in the Pacific. But even

RESULTS FROM THE FIRST 75 DAYS OF THE
INVINCIBLE AMERICA COURSE AT MAHARISHI UNIVERSITY
OF MANAGEMENT IN FAIRFIELD, IOWA
Stock Market Booms, Oil and Gas Prices Plummet,
and No Hurricanes Hit U.S. Shores 
Largest Scientific Demonstration Project
Saves the Nation $200 Billion So Far

“America is being transformed by the rise of coherence in national consciousness created by the group of 1200 Yogic Flyers in Washington, D.C., and Iowa. 
As the number rises to 2000, any lingering problems will be quickly resolved.”
—World-renowned quantum physicist Dr. John Hagelin 

A surprisingly robust U.S. economy and a booming stock market, a successful U.S.-brokered cease-fire in Lebanon, and an unexpectedly benign hurricane season are among the clear signs of success of the first 75 days of the largest scientific demonstration project ever to monitor the effect of group Yogic Flying practice on the economic, social, and even climatic trends of the nation. 
This is the assessment of world-renowned quantum physicist Dr. John Hagelin, director of the ongoing national demonstration project, which is being funded through a generous gift of $12 million a year by the “Howard and Alice Settle Foundation for an Invincible America.”
Signs of Success 
Dr. Hagelin said that since the “Invincible America Course” began on July 23 with 1200 advanced Transcendental Meditation–Yogic Flying experts in Washington, D.C., and Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, national trends have improved dramatically, as publicly predicted by researchers before the course began:

A faltering U.S. economy has suddenly turned robust—led by a booming stock market, which pulled out from its downward spiral in mid-July and has since climbed nearly 1000 points, breaking all-time records
The price of oil, which peaked at $78 a barrel in mid-July, has plummeted more than 25% to below $58 a barrel—with gas prices dropping 25% as well
A surprisingly effective U.S.-brokered cease-fire in Lebanon has prevented a dangerous escalation of violence in the region
Dire predictions of a destructive Atlantic hurricane season have proven unfounded, as no hurricanes have struck U.S. shores this year

“This dramatic transformation in national trends, which began with the start of the demonstration project, is no mere coincidence or anomaly,” Dr. Hagelin said. “This transformation is the direct result of the increased coherence in national consciousness created by the 1200 Yogic Flyers.”
According to Dr. Hagelin, the nation has saved at least $200 billion in hurricane costs (Katrina alone caused an estimated $150 billion in damages), with untold billions more added to the economy by the bullish stock market.
Extensive published research confirms the benefits of the “Maharishi Effect”
Dr. Hagelin cited prior research, published in leading, peer-reviewed scientific journals, which has documented reduced negative trends, including reduced crime and violence, and improved economic and social trends when as few as the square root of one percent of a population practice Yogic Flying together in a group. 
Scientists named this phenomenon the “Maharishi Effect” after His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogic, the renowned Vedic scholar who founded the Transcendental Meditation program, and who predicted the beneficial impact of group meditation on social trends as early as 1975.
Creating the “Meissner Effect” for the nation
Dr. Hagelin, who serves as President of the US Peace Government and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace, said that group Yogic Flying practice creates the equivalent in society of the “Meissner Effect” of physics.
“The Meissner Effect refers to the ability of a superconductor to spontaneously repel any disruptive influences, due to the coherent functioning of its atomic constituents,” Dr. Hagelin said. “The Meissner Effect explains how coherent national consciousness created by the Yogic Flyers can similarly repel any disruptive influence—terrorism, conflict, or even a hurricane—and prevent it from inflicting damage on the nation.”
Group of 2000 Yogic Flyers needed to make the nation invincible
Dr. Hagelin acknowledged that serious problems persist in the world, but said that as the number of Yogic Flyers in the U.S. reaches the square root of one percent of the U.S. population (about 2000), there will be an even more dramatic improvement in national trends, and any lingering problems will be quickly resolved.
“This is not wishful thinking,” Dr. Hagelin said. “This is hard science that has been field-tested for over 50 years and documented through more than 600 studies conducted at over 250 independent universities and research institutes throughout the world.”

Subject: [TMFriends] GOOD NEWS: 360 Pundits will arrive this Friday, Oct 27
with some arriving as early as Tuesday, Oct 24!

(From: Einar Olsen)
   
Dear Friends,

I don’t use a large email list, am sending this to a few friends and
acquaintances,

Raja Wynne made the formal announcement today about the Pandits, during the
end of the daily talk with Maharishi. Each of these daily calls seems like a
major event in development of one’s consciousness and group consciousness.
Maharishi is taking this IA group to and toward enlightenment, and the longer
one stays, the further one goes along. To adjust a few things I said before:
Raja W said 360 Pandits will be here by this Friday, with some coming as early
as Tuesday. 40 will stay in the Capital, and 80 in each of four frats: 109,
110, 111 and 114. We will wait til they get here, then give them their choice
of their all flying in their respective living units, or the Dome, or the
Grand Assembly Hall and all the other men will adjust as needed. The MVC men
may move into Headley Hall in back of MVC City Hall and in front of the
Capital. (Dr. Robert Schneider who raised the funds for Headley Hall and whose
Institute has the second floor there, has been with Maharishi in Vlodrop since
Guru Purnima helping develop Maharishi’s new Vedic Medicine curriculum to
train Vedic medical professionals.) The central lobby of each frat is large
enough for a program hall for those living in that frat. The frats are built
with a kitchen and dining hall downstairs, and the plan now is to get those
back up and running for each frat. The Capital has a full functioning kitchen
already. Really the frats are so well-designed for use by the Pandits like
this, they should be very happy.

It’s a bit of a beehive around here among CPs and staff as you can imagine.
It’s interesting to go to Annapurna and see all sorts of students and even
some staff for whom all the activity is more distant in their horizons, after
hearing Drs. Bevan and John speak enthusiastically (and truthfully) of how
this is the greatest event in the history of the country (after Maharishi’s
trips here). The excitement is definitely balanced or grounded by all the
solid experiences of Unity that hundreds of people are having. Even the
largest events and experiences are small compared with the definite experience
of infinity and unboundedness.

One CP here (Alan Marks) Maharishi gave a PhD to today, and also a gold medal
for top experience. These calls with Maharishi are like those candy bars
wrapper mottos: indescribably delicious. There seems to be an unending line-up
of people with experiences of truly unified and complete  consciousness, and
the variety of experiences and descriptions is Real Impressive. Each
experience is so sumptuous and nourishing and non-attaching to even hear, and
one thinks boy that can’t be topped then the next person or the next day
there are more just as good or better.  

Hearing them is not just intellectually and emotionally enlivening, it is
powerfully and transcendentally transformational. One gets in this mood, well
what next, and perfection and enlightenment start to feel more and more
natural and normal. Maharishi liked this one in particular because it was
simple, not intellectualized, and at the end as part and parcel of the
experience in an authentic way Alan offered everything to Maharishi. 

Maharishi always really picks up on that especially when it’s not just said
because it’s supposed to be, and offers it to Guru Dev. Also, when anyone
speaks, Maharishi not only listens to and reacts not just to what is said but
who is saying it because he can see everything about the person.

Raja Wynne also said visas are continuing to be given above these 360, and the
cooks coming now are in addition, which will bring the numbers here from the
current 1200 to about 1550 as a stable basis. The 200 coming for free
TM-Sidhis in November will hopefully establish official superadiance (1733),
unless Maharishi sends more Pandits before then or more others come when the
first Pandits come. 2,000 is the number Maharishi really wants and has been
speaking of since the beginning of the Invincible America project. The first
Pandit buildings arrive this coming Friday, as the Pandits start to move in,
more rooms will open on campus for fortunate people who come to the Course.

Jai Guru Dev,
Einar

[FairfieldLife] vedic city election speculation

2005-11-09 Thread George DeForest
Blank.

i read in todays FF Ledger, a whopping 30 ppl
cast their votes in Maharishi Vedic City.
in an official climate of damn democracy,
i guess that makes them the rebel activists?

all incumbents were re-elected un-opposed,
including Mayor Wynne and the city council.

surprisingly, only Chris Johnson (owner/developer
of Rukmapura Park Hotel  Chalets) gained
the full 30 votes. Raja/Mayor Wynne got the 
least share of 30 at 26, which on that small 
scale is almost 15% not for him. 

Running unopposed, this has no impact on 
his winning or not winning, therefore i am 
most curious why 4 voters ommitted Wynne? 
I dont think he has any actual opposition in the town.

So i speculate that maybe the 4 missing votes
were a symbolic statement, perhaps given to
Susan Dillbeck (a powerful local who spearheads
the women's Spiritual University, which is 
sexually segregated...women only). THis is
my guess, it makes sense if you consider 
there are no women on the city government level.

if any one knows differently, would love to hear
corrections

peace,
george d.

[FairfieldLife] Day of Awakening Celebration - today in Washington DC

2005-11-12 Thread George DeForest

Today 11/12/05:

** Maharishi to Address Global Celebrations of
 the Day of Awakening of Permanent World Peace 

** New Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
to Be Established in Washington, DC To Create 
Coherent National Consciousness - the Basis of 
Ideal, Prevention-Oriented Administration



His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the 
Global Country of World Peace, will address the 
grand, global celebrations of the Day of Awakening 
of Permanent World Peace, to be held on Saturday, 
November 12-the Day of Awakening of Total Natural Law 
in the annual Vedic calendar.

Maharishi will speak live via satellite and Internet webcast 
from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
in Meru, Holland. The celebration will begin at 1:00 p.m. (ET).

During the festivities, His Highness Raja Dr. Dean Dodrill, 
the Raja of Washington, will announce the establishment 
of the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
in Washington, D.C. Raja Dean said the new Capital 
will provide government leaders with the knowledge and 
scientifically validated programs of Total Natural Law - 
the Constitution of the Universe - to create coherent 
collective consciousness, which is the basis of 
prevention-oriented, problem free administration 
and invincibility for the nation.

Washington, D.C. is the capital of the world, Raja Dean said. 
Now, with the establishment here of the Capital of the 
Global Country of World Peace, Washington will become 
a lighthouse of coherence and harmony for the whole world - 
a capital of peace - creating permanent peace in the family of nations.

The celebrations in the United States will be held 
at The Fairmont Hotel, 2401 M Street, NW, beginning at 
12 noon (ET) and will also include a gala luncheon banquet; 
the traditional Vedic recitation of the Anthem of the 
Global Country of World Peace by Vedic Pandits; 
and addresses by Dr. John Hagelin, President of 
the U.S. Peace Government and Minister of Science and 
Technology of the Global Country of World Peace; 
Dr. Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country 
of World Peace; and the Rajas of the seven domains 
of the Global Country of World Peace in the United States.

Maharishi's celebration of the Day of Awakening 
of Permanent World Peace follows by nearly four months 
Maharishi's proclamation of the dawn of Heaven on Earth - 
Sat Yuga - on July 21, 2005, Guru Purnima Day. 

Maharishi announced that his Global Peace Program, 
which includes establishing large numbers of 
peace-creating Vedic Pandits in India performing 
Vedic Yagyas and Grahashanti, as well as groups 
of peace-creating Yogic Flyers in every country, 
is creating coherent world consciousness - the 
basis of permanent world peace. 

World press reports since Maharishi launched his 
Global Peace Program in April 2005 clearly show 
a dramatic a turnaround in world events, including 
rapidly increasing harmony between former 
enemy nations and a growing rejection by people 
throughout the world of destructive government policies.

The time of destruction is over, Maharishi proclaimed. 
The light of Total Natural Law - the light of peace - is 
dawning for the whole world family.

[FairfieldLife] From George Clooney -- Responding as ONE to Hurricane Katrina

Katrina: Responding as ONE



  
  

  

  


  
Dear Friend:
In the wake of the destruction brought on 
by Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of thousands of Americans are facing 
an uncertain and challenging future.
We've all watched together as increasingly dire reports have come 
out of the hardest hit areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, 
and right now our nation is trying to find its footing as it 
responds to one of the worst disasters that we've ever faced. 
We all see the pictures on TV. Right now, they need water, 
food, clothing, shelter and medical attention, and soon they'll 
begin the long process of putting their lives back together... 
hospitals, sewers, schools...all the things that we take for granted 
every day. 
As members of ONE, we must believe that Americans can't help 
people around the world unless we also take care of urgent needs at 
home. 
You can visit theONE.ORG blog to find a list of 
ONE partners and other groups working right now to help those in 
most need. 
In the same way that our fight against poverty is both urgent and 
diligent, we now have a new challenge with the same rules, to help 
stop people from dying today and help rebuild their infrastructure 
for tomorrow. 
In July, you answered the call of the poorest countries in the 
world, and now perhaps we can help you find a way to participate at 
this important time. Please visit theONE.ORG blog and take action 
today.
Thank you,
George Clooney
P.S. You can also help by taking part in the "ReAct Now: 
Music  Relief" benefit concert that will air on MTV, VH1 and 
CMT, planned for Sept. 10th at 8pm ET/7pm CT. Please visit www.think.mtv.comfor

[FairfieldLife] Fight Big Pharma for Drug Savings

2005-09-02 Thread GEORGE DEFOREST
Title: Fight Big Pharma for Drug Savings








Check out this animation about how drug companies keep prices high and sign up to save 50-70% on your oprescription drugs.





  


	
		
		
		
		
		
	
			Watch this short animation about how drug companies have use their wealth and power to keep drug prices high, and what you can do to fight back!  Then, sign on for 50-70% prescription drug discounts and to support a bulk purchasing program open to all Americans.
	
			Watch the Animation and Sign Up To Save 50-70% on Your Prescription Drugs!
			Drug companies have been allowed to charge U.S. residents 50-70% more than what patients in Canada and England pay for the exact same medications!

With 35 million people, a California prescription drug bulk purchasing pool could get even better discounts than all of Canada.  Right now, the City of Los Angeles is developing such a program.

You do not have to live in Los Angeles to receive discounts of 50-70%. Sign up now and we will notify you when the program begins. 

			
	
			
			Watch the Animation and Sign On For Prescription Drug Bulk Purchasing!

Drug companies claim that high prices are necessary to pay for the cost of developing new medications, but they spend 2-3 times more on advertsing than they do on research.  

And, they spend millions of our dollars each year in contributions to politicians to kill reform efforts.

That's why we're signing people up for the bulk purchasing program - we'll let you know when the program is up and running, and send your petition to policymakers urging them to expand the program to all Americans. The Bigger the Buyer, the Better the Price!

[FairfieldLife] In Defense of the Maharishi (a True Believer perspective)

2005-09-07 Thread George DeForest
Maharishi's Definition of Heaven on EarthMaharishi's faultless vision,
timeless wisdom and infinite compassion for all mankind are obvious in the
following Definitions of Heaven on Earth. Having a vision of what Heaven on
Earth can be like is not enough to live in heaven. Maharishi has brought out
the easily learned procedures necessary for bringing heavenly life to earth.
No other teacher of any time or place, besides Maharishi, has been blessed
with the knowledge capable of bringing heavenly life to earth and the means
to fulfill that ideal of life. With today's fast pace of life and
communication everyone can learn what is necessary to bring heaven to their
life and their society. Maharishi has made creation of Heaven on Earth
simple, reliable and easily achieved. He has enlivened the ancient
procedures, developed the necessary programs, tested their validity,
published the results and invited every government and every family to adopt
this knowledge. Never before has such true compassion been displayed on
Earth.

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Founders Day September 12, 2005

Title: Founders Day September 12, 2005





.


  
  
Dear Alumni and 
  Friends,This Monday marks the 34th anniversary of the founding of Maharishi 
  University of Management 
  and as many of us remember, Maharishi International University. How can we 
  ever begin to thank Maharishi for all the love, precious wisdom, and great 
  patience he has bestowed upon us throughout the years?Let's 
  celebrate together this coming Monday evening, September 12. Plans are still in the works. We are hopeful to 
  connect with Holland or at least have some inspirational words. Locally, I 
  would like to invite all those who wish to share in the "yagya" of 
  thanksgiving to our Founder, to help bake sweets and treats and bring them 
  to the Dome Monday evening, bring flowers or plants to help decorate the 
  stage, and any other ideas you may have. Maharishi had organized 
  such a magnificent celebration of thanks honoring Guru Dev this recent 
  Guru Purnima Celebration that it would be so wonderful to return that 
  thanks to Maharishi. Please call me or email me with your thoughts and 
  let's all plan a beautiful evening together, beginning with large group 
  program.Jai Guru DevJennine

[FairfieldLife] Founders Day Postponed 'til Fri 9/16 - Alumni Lunch

2005-09-11 Thread George DeForest




Saturday, September 10, 2005

Dear Alumni and Friends,

We wanted to let you know (just as soon as we knew) that H.E. Dr. Bevan Morris has asked us to 
postpone the Founder's Day Celebration from its traditional day, September 12, and combine it 
with this month's Full Moon Celebration.

So there will be a glorious combined celebration in the Men's Dome this coming Friday, 
September 16, at 8:00 p.m. Details will follow, but we anticipate a very special evening, 
including some of the latest news from Holland. 

Also. . .Founders Day Al um ni Re un io n! Event
Friday afternoon 12:00 - 1:15 a fun time will be had by all who attend lunch at Annapurna 
(Student Union). Share stories with classmates while we share photos of the golden olden days. 
Lunch is $7.00. Party will be in the room straight ahead as you enter the dining hall. RSVP so we 
can estimate how much space we need.

See you there and remember, support nature and It will support you. Over 1000 people recently 
visited Maharishi Vedic City, mostly from around the state. Guess what was the most popular 
feature? Yep, Yogic Flying demonstrations. People were glued to their chairs and with beaming 
smiles asked me how long it would take them to learn. So let's all celebrate Founders Day 
together starting with group program. We don't have that far to go. And the foam is already set 
up!

Jai Guru Dev

[FairfieldLife] What Katrina revealed

2005-09-13 Thread George DeForest
Hurricane Katrina has been, first and foremost, a human disaster -- a
seemingly 
endless tale of suffering marked by lives lost, communities dispersed and 
families torn asunder. Our hearts go out to the hundreds of thousands of 
displaced people who are now struggling to piece some semblance of their lives

back together.

NRDC is doing all that we can -- as I'm sure you are -- to aid the ongoing 
relief effort in the Gulf states. We're also contributing our special
expertise 
on oil spills, toxic pollution and drinking water in order to help meet the 
immediate challenges.

As the flood waters begin receding, Americans are also beginning to gain some

much-needed perspective on our fragile place in the natural world. Few events

in our lifetime have revealed so dramatically the deep interconnectedness 
between people and nature.

As an environmental organization, NRDC has a profound obligation to ensure
that 
the environmental lessons of this disaster are not only learned, but that they

are heard loud and clear in our nation's capital. Hurricane Katrina destroyed

more than human lives and homes. She also blew away a decade's worth of denial

about major environmental problems that confront America.

Katrina destroyed the fantasy that we can blithely go on increasing our 
dangerous dependence on oil -- whether imported or domestic. Our oil-addicted

economy is just too vulnerable to supply disruptions, as anyone who filled up

their gas tank last week discovered. The solution is NOT to drill and destroy

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- or our beautiful coastlines -- as many

in Congress are now suggesting. Drilling in the Arctic would not have any 
impact on gas prices until 2025, and even then it would only reduce prices at

the pump by a trivial 1.5 cents per gallon. Our nation simply does not have 
enough oil reserves to affect world oil prices. The only way out of this mess

is to reduce our appetite for oil by improving the fuel economy of our
vehicles 
(which consume 40 percent of our oil) and by relying on smarter, cleaner and 
renewable ways to power our economy.

Katrina also exposed the fiction that we can dredge, bulldoze and fill
millions 
of acres of coastal wetlands without paying a price. Wetland ecosystems are 
Mother Nature's perfect buffer against catastrophic storm surges. Destroy that

buffer and you destroy the last line of defense, not only for New Orleans but

for a host of other American cities. In this case, as in so many others,
what's 
good for the wildlife of coastal America is also indispensable to its people.

We are part of nature.

Katrina demolished the pretense that we needn't reckon with global warming. 
While no single hurricane can be directly linked to global warming, climate 
scientists agree that we are entering an epoch of warming oceans, rising sea 
levels and much more intense storms. We know full well what kind of pollution

controls are required to reverse this trend. If we don't act, Katrina will be

our future. You can't say she didn't warn us.

Finally, Katrina tore the lid off one of our nation's most shameful truths: 
that petrochemical plants, toxic waste sites, oil refineries and other 
industrial threats to human health are most often sited next to low-income 
minority communities. The rest of America regularly averts its eyes from this

injustice. But with the poorest neighborhoods of New Orleans drowning in a 
hazardous sea of fuel, sewage and chemicals, it's hard not to notice just
which 
of our citizens are paying the ultimate price.

Oil addiction. Wetland destruction. Global warming. Environmental injustice. 
You're well aware that NRDC has been working for years to awaken America to 
these terrible problems and to champion urgently needed solutions. But Katrina

has changed everything. The public is finally paying attention. And officials

in Washington are looking to respond.

Our challenge is making sure our leaders take away the right lessons from this

disaster and respond with real solutions, not with the old ways of thinking or

business-as-usual giveaways to well-connected industries.

It won't be easy. The Bush administration and congressional leaders have spent

the last four years digging us ever deeper into a hole of oil dependence, 
wetland destruction, global warming pollution and environmental injustice.
It's 
unspeakably tragic that it took a deadly hurricane to expose this gaping
crater.

There's an old proverb that says, If you find yourself in a hole, stop 
digging. Getting our leaders to stop digging will be a tall order. But with 
more hurricanes sure to follow in Katrina's wake, we have no choice but to 
dedicate ourselves to the task at hand. As always, NRDC will be counting on 
your commitment, your support and your activism at every step of the way.

Sincerely,

John H. Adams, President
NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: Avon Park Closing

2005-09-17 Thread George DeForest


-- Original Message --
Received: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 06:14:55 AM PDT
From: Maharishi Vedic School [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Subject: Avon Park Closing

Dear Governors, Sidhas, and Meditators:

After many years of service to the Florida community and those coming 
from many other areas of the country, the Maharishi Vedic School at Avon 
Park is ceasing operations. The facility has been sold and no further 
courses will be offered, as we are starting to make preparations to move 
out. We are also at the early stages of planning a new facility at a 
different location, built in proper Vastu, acccording to the principles 
of Sthapatya Veda.

We want to send a heartfelt Thank You to those of you who throughout 
the years have been attending the many courses and activities offered at 
the School, and those of you who have supported this Maharishi facility 
through hard work, dedication, and financial contributions. We remind 
those fortunate ones of the old saying As you sow, so shall you reap.

As you may imagine, the coming weeks will be very busy for us at Avon 
Park. There are two areas of activity uppermost in our minds: moving 
trucks and storage facilities. If any of you can offer any assitance in 
those areas, we will be very grateful.

We would like to ask those who have sponsored rooms, to make 
arrangements to retrieve the furniture in your rooms. Ideally this would 
have to be accomplished by September 30. Please let us know if you are 
coming, or if you would like us to dispose of the furniture. We 
anticipate that some items will be placed in refrigerated storage, some 
may be transferred to other movement facilities, and some will be 
donated to needy individuals or charitable institutions.

Again, thank you very much for your attendance and dedication to create 
coherence for yourselves and the State of Florida. Although we don't 
have objective measures, we are sure that this facility has made an 
important difference in the life of all the residents of the State. We 
will keep in touch, and expect to see many of you at our new facility, 
whenever that manifests.

Jai Guru Dev

[FairfieldLife] David Lynch a hit in Michigan

  Packed crowd hears Filmmaker David Lynch 
  shares zeal for transcendental meditation 
  
  
  Monday, September 26, 2005
  BY JENN MCKEENews Arts Writer 
  
  If you arrived on time to see filmmaker David Lynch talk about 
  transcendental meditation last night at the Power Center, you were already 
  too late. The venue was packed to capacity. 
  Harried Power Center employees with walkie-talkies loudly stated, again 
  and again, that there were no available seats anywhere in the building, 
  but dozens of people nonetheless lingered at both ground floor entrances, 
  hoping a spot would miraculously open up. (Despite early reports that 
  equipment had not been set up to provide video feed of the talk, those who 
  stayed did eventually get to hear and see most of Lynch's presentation by 
  way of television monitors in the lobby.) 
  The evening's program began with opening remarks from Ed Sarath, a 
  University of Michigan jazz professor and the director and founder of 
  U-M's Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies (which sponsored 
  Lynch's appearance, along with U-M Integrative Medicine, the Center for 
  Urban Innovation, and the Program in Film and Video Studies). 
  Next, Teresa Adams, administrative assistant for PCCS, provided an 
  introduction for Lynch, listing his achievements in film as well as his 
  broad range of artistic interests (sculpting, painting, photography, 
  etc.). Adams then announced that Lynch would take questions immediately, 
  so audience members moved to line up behind two microphones. 
  As they made their way, Lynch - dressed in a suit, with his thick, gray 
  hair neatly swept back - stepped to the podium and explained that he had 
  started out his career as a painter; the idea of a moving painting was 
  what started him in the direction of animation and, ultimately, film. 
  The first person at the microphone wanted to give Lynch his resume. 
  Lynch said, "Are you a transcendental meditator?'' to which the questioner 
  quipped, "I will be, if you take a look at this.'' 
  Throughout the evening, Lynch nearly always steered his answers back to 
  the topic of TM - a form of meditation that aims to bring the body into a 
  deep state of rest while the mind becomes calm yet alert - but he also 
  offered occasional nuggets of humorous advice, such as: "Always write your 
  ideas down, because if you don't and you forget them, you'll feel like 
  committing suicide.'' 
  One audience member asked about the role of music in Lynch's films. 
  "Every element in a film is important,'' said Lynch. "The trick is to get 
  each element to blend with the whole.'' 
  Another attendee wanted to know when the second season of "Twin Peaks'' 
  would be released, but Lynch couldn't provide an answer. 
  In response to a question about whether or not he would take on science 
  fiction again (Lynch directed "Dune''), Lynch said, "A lot of films deal 
  with consciousness and different dimensions and all kinds of stuff. But I 
  like real things - not to fiddle around with fiction, but to find the 
  truth of a thing.'' 
  Soon, Lynch introduced Dr. John Hagelin, a physicist (featured in the 
  documentary, "What the Bleep Do We Know?'') who discussed how he believed 
  TM had the capacity to cause positive worldwide political, social, and 
  intellectual shifts. "We could see a more fundamental unity of man - 
  though it's not happening very fast with this current administration,'' 
  Hagelin said, drawing applause. 
  Hagelin spoke about the many advantages of TM for young people, 
  particularly in regard to learning. To follow up, Fred Travis, of the 
  Maharishi University of Management, made a presentation that included 
  watching the brain activity of an audience volunteer. (The demonstration 
  showed how the brain activity of an active mind differed from that of a 
  mind at rest.) 
  Lynch then returned to the podium to take a few final questions. One 
  attendee expressed a religion-based skepticism of TM. "I was raised 
  Christian,'' replied Lynch. "I love Jesus, and people from all religions 
  practice transcendental meditation. ... I believe all the great religions 
  are rivers running to one ocean. ... There's no conflict.'' 
  Lynch later expressed his own initial resistance to the idea of 
  meditation. "I thought meditation was a waste of time,'' said Lynch. "I 
  didn't know what in the heck they were doing. But then I saw the faces of 
  yogis sitting in a forest, meditating, and they didn't look homeless. They 
  knew something I didn't know. They had a

[FairfieldLife] Important Message from Raja LoPinto of Potomac Vedic America

2005-09-29 Thread George DeForest





Dear 
Governors and Sidhas,As many of you may already know, Maharishi has 
asked Raja Dean and his family to move into the Peace Palace and utilize the 
entire second floor so that their family may be comfortable. This is a 
great blessing for our community and for the world as Maharishi continues to 
direct his attention to our area and specifically to the critical need for 
greater coherence in Washington , DC, where, Maharishi recently told me, “The 
national stress is making the President so wild." Maharishi has great 
concern about the destructive policies of our nation’s leaders, and is now 
directing Raja Dean’s activities daily to expand our Movement in Washington and 
thereby purify and bring coherence to that city. Accordingly, 
Maharishi feels that it is critical for Raja Dean and his family to 
be in proper vastu so that they may experience maximum support of Nature for the 
important role he is engaged in. In the coming weeks and months, you will 
hear more about these new activities of our Movement’s expansion in 
Washington.Our community has always been at the forefront in our 
Movement of completely embracing Maharishi’s wishes and Divine guidance — our 
having built the first Peace Palace is but one symbol of that. And it is 
clear that Maharishi knows and appreciates this, which is another reason why his 
attention has increasingly been on our Peace Palace and region as evidenced by 
him making this a Time Zone Capital, having Vedic Experts living here, having 
daily live Vedic Recitations at the Peace Palace (Maharishi had us place a 
network camera in the Hall of Knowledge so he can watch this each day via the 
internet), and his having sent Raja Dean and his family here from Richmond to 
purify and expand our Movement in Washington. This is a beautiful and rare 
thing in our Movement, and all of you are to be congratulated and blessed for 
your persistent vision and support. I should note that Maharishi had 
requested this move over 6 months ago and continues to ask Raja Dean if he has 
done it. However, Raja Dean delayed moving in for many months because of 
his concern for displacing group program and the people working in the building. 
But Maharishi’s focus is on the whole world and the influential role that 
Washington plays in it, and so he persisted in asking Raja Dean to make the move 
immediately. Raja Dean had recently moved into all but the flying halls, 
but has now completed their move and so the program has temporarily been 
relocated to a neighboring building that we have rented for this purpose (see 
information below).Our community’s great vision and steadfast commitment 
to Maharishi has also brought us the good fortune of being the first community 
to have a second Peace Palace where land has been purchased. Through the 
efforts of Jeffrey Abramson, this new building is in the governmental approval 
process, which we expect will be completed within the coming months. While 
this is happening, we are also working on obtaining financing for the building 
so that we can begin construction upon obtaining the approvals. After 
completion of this new Peace Palace, our group program will once again return to 
the Peace Palace(s), and from this bastion of bliss that we are creating from 
our “campus” in North Bethesda, our region will begin to burst forth in the 
Light of God and assume its rightful role of leading the world in peace and 
harmony.I know that I speak for all of us when I say that our commitment 
is based on our dear love for Maharishi, for the great Vedic Knowledge that he 
has revived in its purity and has brought to all of us and the world, and for 
all that Maharishi is doing to rid the world of suffering and discomfort and 
bring peace and harmony to the minds and hearts of all mankind. We are 
Maharishi’s Movement, all of us, and you are all the greatest examples of this 
Movement. The history books and all future generations will offer great 
thanks to your leadership in this cause of all causes!I know you will 
all join me in continuing to warmly embrace our dear Raja Dean and his family, 
and to offer all of our support to make them as comfortable as possible in their 
new home.Finally, I would like to have a meeting with our entire 
community in the coming weeks and will send an email announcement about that in 
the next few days. In that meeting, it will be wonderful to welcome our 2 
new Directors, Donna Schechtman and Peter DeRuiter (whom, you may recall, used 
to work at the front desk before he attended the recent TTC). I would also 
like to discuss some new initiatives for the Potomac Vedic America domain (MD, 
VA, WV) and get your thoughts and support. And, I have missed seeing 
everyone and would like to spend some “quality time” together!With 
warmest regards,Jai Guru DevRaja Bob http://www.globalgoodnews.com/world-peace-a.html?art=112516138945972938Raja

2005-10-19 Thread George DeForest

Subject: Yet another hurricane

Moon will pass through Ardra on Saturday and just like 
the last 3 times, we are looking at another Massive hurricane when it does. 
here is a dalogue i had w/ someone on another list about this:he 
asked:

  
  
Quote:
  
"Are you saying that it is the combination of NNode in 
  Pisces, along with Saturn in Cancer being squared by Mars (Sidereal) that 
  is so virulent?" I 
replied:Yes I am. * Two of the three water signs have a slow moving 
malefic * Saturn is weak in cancer and aspected by a VERY powerful Mars 
in Aries. IN Vedic they are also in sambandha, mutual aspect, as Mars casts a 
4th house aspect forward and Saturn a 4th house backward (by Sign) SO Saturn 
(and therefore Cancer) gets the worst of it * North Node is a windy 
planet, (vata nature) and creates - so each time the Moon has entered Ardra 
(ruled by the NOrth node don't forget) the last 3 months we have had an event. 
pretty incredible. A hurricane is Hot Water and wind growing into a monstrous 
form. Mars, North node and Saturn maniplutaing / harming through water. (the 
signs) *Katrina happened when Jupiter and Venus (two water PLANETS) were 
also harmed in Virgo (Jupiter in enemy's sign - Venus Debilitated) * 
Rita happened after Venus left debility and was in Libra, (her own signs) thus 
not as bad as expected. * Wilma is now happening and Venus is in 
Scorpio, (ruled by a powerful Mars - the other water sign) so look out. The Sun 
is also Debilitated and Jupiter is combust and in Libra. (not a strong sign) 
In Jyotish, it is quite clear - at least to me it is. I 
predicted water troubles early this year, but i suspected terrorist, poisoning 
the water supply or something. (as the north node also rules poisons and 
radiation) Instead we have had these hurricanes. Which BTW, have led to major 
water concerns and poisoning. I knew there would be some major water problems, i 
was just not seeing the obvious, hurricanes - Weather patterns. This is 
a new type of Astorlogy for me to be learning about. he 
asked:

  
  
Quote:
  
"Is Mars actually in close square to Saturn right now, in 
  Sidereal astrology? Tropically, they are no where near a close square. " 
I replied:Well 
technically by exact degree perhaps not yet, but given that Mars is retrograding 
TOWARD Saturn (the point of square by orb) the intensity is increased. I would 
not say "nowhere near" a close square though, considering every 90 degrees a 
square is formed, they are close to 10 degrees of orb and one planet is retro 
toward the square, Tropically or sidereally, the math is the same. But don't 
worry, that exact square is coming soon, a few times as Mars will retro then go 
direct over it. We have several looming threats of terrorism (notice the alerts 
increasing?) - avian flu, all kinds of other stuff possible when the EXACT orb 
hits. Sorry is this seems ominous and gloomy - welcome to life! -- It is 
all Mother nature doing her thing -- yet it is hard to see these tragedies - we 
all must keep prayers in our heart because these are dangerous times and there 
are more to come for a while,, IMO. BTW - I am not just saying these 
things now, but i cited the same things a month and a half ago when john posted 
about why this happened and that in Western Astrology there was no real good 
reason for it, (I am paraphrasing of course) the posting is in here somewhere. - 
if anyone cares to look,, I cited Node in PIsces, Saturn in cancer, Mars 
in Aries Soon to be retro. Jup and Venus harmed, Ardra Nakshatra. Since 
then 2 more times, astoundingly! - right now the Moon is 3 days from Ardra, so 
in 3 days (saturday) we will be dealing w/ massiva amounts of water and flooding 
- probably starting the day before as happened w/ Rita.. Mars's Nakshatra 
Mrgashira is he day before Ardra.

Main stories in the issue:

MAHARISHI PROCLAIMS THAT THE WORLD IS ON THE THRESHOLD OF CHANGE

In his global press conferences, televised live from his international
headquarters in Meru, Holland, Maharishi has proclaimed a new time dawning
for the world, announcing that the light of Sat Yuga is rising quickly.
Our lead article quotes excerpts from Maharishi's discussions in recent
weeks.

I am alerting the world press, said Maharishi. Watch and see the
downfall and disappearance of the destroyers of the world - and the rise
of harmony, happiness, real purposeful administration in the world: the
dawn of a new age.

NUCLEAR ALERT!

Leading scientists in every country are being urged to step forward and
take on a leadership role in the new Global Union of Scientists for Peace,
an organisation founded by Dr John Hagelin, President of the US Peace
Government, to stop the threat of nuclear proliferation and war through
the establishment of large peace-creating groups of Yogic Flyers in every
nation.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE BY FOLLOWING THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE

Special message from His Highness Dr Peter Warburton, Raja of England,
with a review of the current status and opportunities offered by
Maharishi's Movement in Great Britain, including the new opening to
construct fortune-creating Vastu homes around the country for all
Mediators, Sidhas, and Governors

MAHARISHI'S GLOBAL RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME FOR
PERMANENT WORLD PEACE

A two-page special on Sthapatya Veda is included in this issue. The first
page looks at Maharishi's latest and most complete plans for global
reconstruction according to Natural Law, including not only the building
of homes and workplaces to create just nourishing effects, but also the
reconstruction of education, health, and agriculture, and the
establishment in every city of an ideal venue for Maharishi's programmes,
the city Peace Palace.

THE VALUE OF PROPER ORIENTATION

Completing his review of Maharishi's reconstruction programme, Charles
Cunningham looks at recent research on Sthapatya Veda. Is sleeping with
head to the east really more healthy? Is there evidence that an
east-facing building is more fortune-promoting? Do burglaries happen more
often in south-facing homes? Find out here.

VISION OF THE PRACTICAL PROGRAMMES TO BE OFFERED BY
EVERY PEACE PALACE WORLDWIDE

During Maharishi's Guru Purnima celebrations in July, His Excellency Dr
Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, gave a
summary of the many programmes for peace and enlightenment that will be
offered in each of the 5,000 Peace Palaces to be built around the world.

Our report summarises the programmes in the fields of health and
education, as well as plans for establishing coherence-creating groups of
Yogic Flyers and the development of Peace Colonies of fortune-creating
homes.

SEVEN CATEGORIES OF MAHARISHI AYURVEDA PRODUCTS

The Peace Palaces will also offer seven categories of Maharishi Ayurveda
Products, according to a presentation at Maharishi's Guru Purnima
celebrations by Anand Shrivastava, Chief Executive of MAP. An initial
range of 150 products is immediately available, and this will soon be
expanded to 400-500 products, he reported.

CONSCIOUSNESS-BASED EDUCATION A NECESSITY NOT A
LUXURY, DAVID LYNCH TELLS MEDIA

We continue our coverage of the extensive media reports of film-maker
David Lynch, who is taking time out from his latest movie - Inland Empire
- to promote Maharishi's Consciousness Based Education. There is tons of
resistance to putting TM in schools because where there's misunderstanding
there's fear, he told The Times in September. The first step is to
explain to parents what TM isn't and what it is. You tell them what
results to expect and they say, I want this for my child.

QA

We continue our regular feature on Maharishi's answers to questions from
the media in his weekly press conferences. This month: How to work less in
today's high-pressure world; Overcoming boredom at work; The goals of
Maharishi's Movement today; and What the Peace Government offers that the
United Nations has failed to deliver.

[FairfieldLife] TM once big in Nepal, what happened?

2006-04-23 Thread George DeForest
Title: BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Why the world is watching Nepal






 
Why the world is watching Nepal 

  
  
By Paul Reynolds World Affairs 
  correspondent, BBC News website 


While it would be an exaggeration to say that Nepal occupies a 
strategic position in the world - isolated as it is in the Himalayas - its 
future is being watched closely. 
Partly this is for sentimental reasons. The kingdom used to be the 
destination of choice for thousands of Western hippies who thought of it as a 
mountain Shangri-la. 
The one-time guru of the Beatles, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, had connections in 
Nepal and once broadcast his vision of saving the world by "Transcendental 
Meditation" on Nepali television. 
So there is a great interest in the West to see how that quiet and peaceful 
place (perhaps not so quiet underneath) has developed into the scene of civil 
war, repression, riot and uprising. 



  
  

It is the government of India that is the 
  most concerned. India itself has considerable problems with Maoist rebels 
  

The Yogi's message does not seem to have worked. But then the 1960s and their 
message of flower power are a long time ago. The world has moved on in more 
violent ways, and Nepal is a part of that movement. 
Then there is the Everest trek that keeps Nepal in a wider public eye. 
Currently teams of climbers are preparing for their attempts on the summit 
during the calm period between now and the end of May. They have largely escaped 
the recent troubles, although two climbers were injured last November when 
Maoist rebels attacked their vehicle on its way to base camp. 
And there is the added factor in Britain because Nepal is home to the Gurkha 
fighters who serve in the British army. 
Indian fears 
But beyond these attachments to Nepal are more serious considerations. 


The main one is whether the end of monarchical power as exercised by King 
Gyanendra develops into democratic politics of some kind, or whether the Maoist 
rebellion spreads from the countryside to the cities and takes control. 
It is the government of India that is the most concerned. 
India itself has considerable problems with Maoist rebels. Rebels are active 
in several states - Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand. Maharashtra 
and Bihar. 
Some of the these places are a long way from the modern image of India as the 
growing regional and world power, whose development is spurred by high 
technology. 
The rebellions are fuelled by issues of land and poverty and India does not 
want the example of a Maoist Nepal to encourage further protest. 
India sent an envoy to talk to King Gyanendra, but its intervention has been 
criticised by the Indian opposition BJP party as "too little and too late". 
The BJP president Dr Rajnath Singh said that India should exert pressure to 
ensure that Maoists are not given positions of influence in Nepal. He wants a 
renewed effort to crush the Maoist rebellion. 
India fears that there are links between Maoists in Nepal and their fellow 
fighters in India. 
Stark divide 
Perhaps for too long, the world averted its eyes from the reality of Nepal, 
distracted by its Shangri-La image. 
It should have been seen as somewhere that could show how modern ideas of 
democracy and development - as opposed to the communal policies urged by the 
Maoists - could work. 
But Nepal did not manage to address the problems presented by its 28 million 
people, many of them clinging to a precarious existence on the crowded slopes of 
the mountains. 
I visited both Nepal and another Himalayan kingdom, Bhutan, in 1997 and the 
difference was stark. A lot had to do with the number of people. Bhutan was 
almost empty. 
It had little traffic (and all cars were tracked by officials at road 
junctions) and no traffic lights, the only pair having been removed as 
unnecessary. 
The king controlled everything and, at that time, there was not even 
television. The Indians had built roads south to North to be able to reinforce 
in case of trouble from China but the place was placid. 
Nepal was already beginning to seethe. From the air, one could see that every 
inch of useable mountainside had been terraced and cultivated. But there just 
was not enough room for the people to make a decent living and the government 
was unable to lift them out of their plight. The rest followed.

Global celebrations usher in a time of peace and 
happiness for the world
by GGN staff writer
Global Good News Translate This Article

25 July 2005
   






   
On 25 July 2005 Global Good News reported: 
On 21 July, the full moon day that is traditionally dedicated to the Guru in the Vedic Calendar, 
many thousands of citizens of the Global Country of World Peace, peace-loving citizens and 
practitioners of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation technique in every nation, gathered in 
Meru, Holland, or connected via satellite and Internet broadcast to participate in an historic 
global celebration to usher in a new time of peace and happiness for the world. The celebration 
took place at the heart of a ten-day international conference dedicated to bringing the full 
realization of this new time as quickly as possible. 


It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the 
life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring 
fulfilment to the field of world-peace. 



Meru, the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in the Netherlands, is set amidst 
exquisite formal gardens, fountains and acres of woodland. Its elegant, spacious central 
building, constructed of all-natural materials, was designed entirely according to the principles 
of Vedic Architecture. In this place of serene beauty and lively silence, it seems that the goals of 
the conference have already blossomed fully.   Each day the conference begins with 
the arrival of the long line of royal white limousines, followed by the royal processional of His 
Majesty Maharaja Nader Raam, first ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, who is richly 
attired in white and gold silk robes and a gold crown. The sound of bagpipe music fills the air 
heralding the arrival  of  Maharaja Nader Raam, and 22 more Rajas, also wearing robes and 
golden crowns. Each of these 22 Rajas is responsible for bringing the life-supporting 
programmes of the Global Country of World Peace to the 10-12 countries in their care. 
 Inside, the conference halls are lavishly decorated with golden thrones for the Rajas, 
large arrangements of fresh flowers and stately greenery, graceful silk draperies, and luxurious 
red carpeting. They are filled to capacity with thousands of dedicated leaders and supporters of 
the Global Country of World Peace.  The conference is blessed by the presence of His 
Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the world's foremost scientist and Vedic scholar who 
introduced Transcendental Meditation and the knowledge of Total Natural Law to the world to 
raise individual and national life to perfection.   A great highlight of the conference 
on 22 July was a beautiful address by Maharishi. Following are a few points from the talk. 
Maharishi described the profound value of the Veda. He said that the Veda structures the 
human physiology. Yet the Veda itself is uncreated. It is eternal because the level of the Veda, 
the level of the structure of the Laws of Nature is Parame Vyoman, transcendental. 
Being transcendental, it is not exposed to change or decay.   The Veda says that one 
should know that by knowing which everything is known. Maharishi explained that this means 
we need to know Atma, (Transcendental Consciousness, the Self of everyone). How can we 
know Atma? Maharishi said we can know it through sound, the first sound of Rk VedaA. 
Everything is contained in Aall values of silence and dynamism.   Veda is the 
Constitution of the Universe. Maharishi elaborated, saying that we can add one adjective to the 
Constitution of the Universe. We can say that the Veda is the lively Constitution of the Universe. 
When we say the lively Constitution of the Universe, then we step onto one more 
phraseLight of God. And when we say Light of God, then we say almighty, 
omnipresent, omniscient Light of God.   Maharishi went on to commend Dr Reiner 
Picha for his model and presentation of Veda in the human physiology. (The 40 major areas of 
human physiology have a one-to-one correlation in structure and function to the structure and 
function of the 40 aspects of the Veda and Vedic Literature. Dr Picha's life-sized, transparent 
model of the human body, with the framework of the skeleton and organs visible within it, 
demonstrates this correlation. When a specific aspect of the Veda is recited, the corresponding 
areas of the body light up on the model.) This is the first display of its kind.  It gives a vision of 
the secrets of how the body functions based on the movements of consciousness.  
Veda is understood now for all its valuesthat means total abstraction, one unbounded 
ocean of consciousness, the transcendental reality. Maharishi emphasized the importance of 
this transcendental reality in the GAPS between the sounds of the Veda.  The secret 
of the relationship between the tenth Mandala of Rk Veda and

Filmmaker Wants Students to Chill Out With Transcendental Meditation
By ERIC HOOVER

In the late 1960s, college students closed their eyes, expanded their minds,
and made meditation a fad on campuses. Now David Lynch wants them to do it
again.

In July Mr. Lynch, director of the films Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, and
Mulholland Drive, announced the establishment of the David Lynch Foundation
for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace, an organization that will
promote the mental and physical benefits of Transcendental Meditation.

Mr. Lynch, who says he has shut his eyes and entered the field of oneness
twice each day for 32 years, plans to begin a speaking tour of 50 colleges
this fall to tout meditation as a tool for overcoming anxiety and stress.
It's an ingredient that's missing from education, he says.

The Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced Transcendental Meditation,
known as diving within, a half-century ago (and later taught the Beatles
his method for chilling out). The mental technique is practiced silently for
15 to 20 minutes twice a day. Researchers have found that it can reduce high
blood pressure and improve brain function, among other health benefits.

Proponents say meditating also can raise students' academic performance and
foster creativity. Students who meditate achieve a state of relaxed
alertness that helps them complete assignments more easily, says William R.
Stixrud, a clinical neuropsychologist based in Silver Spring, Md., and a
member of the foundation's Board of Advisers.

Mr. Lynch's own descriptions of Transcendental Meditation are no less
imaginative than his films, in which time does strange things and symbols
leap out of the unconscious. Meditating, he says, is a dive into pure
creativity that has helped him realize his artistic potential, a portal to
the source of love, consciousness, creativity, and power that in a mere
two weeks transformed him from an angry man to a happy fellow.

It is this light you turn on that gets rid of negativity, he says.

'Bright, Shiny Pennies'

Mr. Lynch believes that frazzled high-school and college students are in
need of such a light because of academic pressures, fatigue, and stress. He
imagines a world in which each student has one class period a day to
experience silence and bliss.

Recently some elementary and secondary schools have started after-school
meditation programs. Some colleges, too, offer meditation instruction.
Gregory Kuhlman, director of the counseling program at Brooklyn College of
the City University of New York, says his staff suggests meditation and
other relaxation training to some students to help them manage anxiety.

Mr. Lynch became convinced that the practice could benefit young adults
after attending a series of skits performed by high-school students who had
learned meditation at Maharishi University of Management, in Fairfield,
Iowa. They seemed like bright, shiny pennies, he says of the actors.
There was a consciousness that came off them that I never had seen.

The foundation, which he established with his own money, intends to finance
meditation classes for students as well as institutional research on the
physiological effects of the technique.

Bob Roth, the foundation's program director and a meditation instructor,
says the group will seek to raise

The Town That Lost Its Guru

Story from REDNOVA NEWS:
http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=210725

Published: 2005/08/17 06:00:00 CDT



With eyes tight shut, legs crossed and mind meandering, I briefly flirt with
inner peace. Beneath 
a golden dome that is the British centre for the teachings of a mystical guru
from the East, the 
time has come to dabble with the power of meditation. For a moment it seems
like paradise. 
Then my eyes flicker, the faith fades and I remember that I am in
Skelmersdale, Lancashire.

Strange though it may seem, this new town of a thousand roundabouts is the
European home to 
the followers of the man whose cosmic notions so entranced The Beatles in the
1960s: the 
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Here they came to deploy the force of transcendental
meditation (TM), 
to find personal happiness and to make the world a better place.

Now, though, a dark cloud casts its shadow over the Maharishi's British flock.
The UK, the 95-
year-old sage claims, has become a 'Scorpion nation', and meditative teachings
merely serve to 
'feed the destroyer of the world'. The Maharishi, it seems, is rather ticked
off about the Iraq War 
and the arms trade.

Teaching TM must cease in the UK immediately, he has ordered. 'We are
rejecting one nation  
Britain  which has proven to be a poisonous, divisive influence in the world
family,' the leader 
blasts in a memo issued to his Global Country of World Peace recently.

It all seems slightly hard on his followers in Skelmersdale, who set up base
here 25 years ago 
and have built up a 400-strong community. Some of the people here wonder why
their home 
country has been singled out and the US left alone, and a few have even mooted
the previously 
unthinkable: disobeying the legendary figure and carrying on teaching.

'He is deeply upset about the arms trade,' says David Hughes, one of the
founder members of 
the community, explaining that Britain, per head of population, actually has a
worse record than 
anywhere else in the world. 'This is an issue we are all very concerned
about.' Teaching 
meditation in the UK, it seems, could foster energies that make the situation
worse. If the 
community has to cease such activities, then it will be for the greater good.
But the rest of 
Skelmersdale is slightly nervous too, for they've grown rather fond of the
Yogic fliers over the 
years.

With meditation has come an award-winning school, a gym, a business centre and
new houses. 
The Maharishi's men and women have injected cash into the local economy and
some even 
claim their presence has revitalised it. Now the Yogics are being urged to
flee for larger, better-
funded settlements abroad. 'When we first came in 1980 things were really
bleak,' explains 
Hughes, a Lancashire man by birth. Hughes and a handful of other devotees
opted for 
Skelmersdale over other new towns because the rents were cheap and it was near
the heart of 
Britain, offering easy access from Scotland and the Southeast. At the time,
very few other 
operations viewed it as a viable centre. 'Now you can hardly find any spare
business space. If 
you want to set up here you have to build from scratch.'

It has even been suggested that their communal meditation reversed the crime
rate in the 
nearby Merseyside area from being one of the worst in the UK to being among
the best  
although Hughes concedes that he still doesn't leave his car unattended in
Liverpool at night.

He admits that the general upturn is not entirely down to the power of
meditation, but believes 
that it has been a significant force. And the economy certainly needed a
boost. In the 1960s, 
Skem  as it is affectionately known locally  survived the decline of the
mining industry only to 
be turned into a concrete jungle. Its reward was to be used as an overspill
town to resettle 
crowded Merseyside. Industrial employers proceeded to leave the town en masse,
and the only 
growth figures related to crime, drug abuse and poverty.

But, as Hughes points out, things have been looking a little better of late.
We depart the dome 
for a tour of the town. 'It was originally proposed that it should have a
population of 80,000,' he 
says. 'But it's only really got up to 40,000.'

Similarly, the meditation community needs to have 800 members to affect the
way the country 
lives, claims Hughes. With it languishing at just 400 it could not possibly
oust the Blair 
government and move the UK towards the goal the Maharishi sets for all his
communities  
bringing peace to the world. So now they face the prospect that their teachers
will heed the 
guru's order to depart to the likes of South Africa and the United States.

But Hughes says that does not mean the end of the road for Skelmersdale. 'Just
because we 
cannot teach TM for the moment, does not mean that we will go away. It is like
riding a bike: 
once you've had your four lessons you can keep doing it. Maharishi hasn't told
us to stop 
meditating, only to stop teaching it.'

[FairfieldLife] Indian press: Bush gets some unorthodox advice

2005-08-20 Thread George DeForest

Deccan Herald » News Update » Detailed Story
From L K Sharma DH News Service, WASHINGTON: 
http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/aug202005/update76492005820.asp

Bush gets some unorthodox advice

The anti-war activists, Islamic believers, communists, and liberals should
know that if the world 
is in a mess it is not the fault of Bush and Blair. It is because their
offices face an inauspicious 
direction. 
 
A US-based quantum physicist has discovered the secret of world peace. All
will be well if the 
south-facing entrances to the White House and 10 Downing Street are closed. 

He claims no credit for this discovery but attributes it to India’s
unpatented traditional 
knowledge -- Vedic architecture. 

Dr John Hagelin, President of what he calls the US Peace Government, has told
both Mr George 
Bush and Mr Tony Blair that they should close the south-facing entrances. 
 

This will be a stop-gap arrangement and later they must move to properly
designed buildings. 
Improper design of government buildings promotes disorderly thinking and
infighting, he says. 

Sceptics may say that the US has done quite well over the decades despite the
White House 
entrance facing an inauspicious direction. But Dr Hagelin has perhaps the
world’s welfare in 
mind. 

In fact, he wants all the leaders of wold to check their buildings. They
should flee such 
buildings as if these have been hit by an earthquake, he says. 

Dr Hagelin says the south-facing entrances are having deleterious effects on
their brain 
functioning and orderliness of thinking. If they shut these entrances, they
will make wiser, more 
intelligent decisions for their people and the world. 

Dr Hagelin wants the Indian government to abandon the Parliament buildings in
New Delhi 
because of their skewed entrances. 

Perhaps Dr Hagelin knows that the Indian Prime Ministers have been working in
an office that 
does not face south, though it is called South Block. 

Dr Hagelin says “divisive and destructive government policies will become
more coherent and 
harmonious overnight if government leaders live and work in buildings that are
properly 
designed according to the principles of ancient Vedic architect are in harmony
with natural law.” 

Bush and Blair may ignore this advice at their own peril at a time when they
are not sailing 
smoothly. 

Dr Hagelin has urged government leaders to replace the old buildings with
properly oriented, 
“fortune-creating” offices and residences that face the rising sun in the
east. Such buildings will 
promote harmony and success for the government, and peace and prosperity for
the nation. 

Dr Hagelin claims recent medical research shows a marked improvement in the
efficiency of 
neuronal functioning when the head is oriented towards the east compared to
the south. The 
positive effects of a proper eastern orientation on the brain and behaviour
are being 
documented by science. 

He says Vedic architecture has been revived by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. About
one billion 
dollars have been invested in the design and construction of Vedic homes and
office buildings 
worldwide in the past decade. 

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi recently launched his Global Reconstruction Programme
for Permanent 
World Peace, and is inviting builders in every country to immediately begin
constructing in every 
city, Peace Colonies of homes and office buildings, as well as Peace Palaces
to teach 
Transcendental Meditation. 

The advice to Mr Bush and Mr Blair is based on some research and not on
mumbo-jumbo. Vedic 
architecture has already made a beginning and some users of the buildings have
claimed a 
remarkable improvement in their well-being. 

The architects and builders, all followers of Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, present
their work at 
professional organisations and are heard with great interest. They have been
joined by some 
neuroscientists. 

According to architect Jonathan Lipman, Vedic architecture promotes
well-being, health and 
success and makes the inhabitants feel more energetic and positive. 

Mr Lipman, chief architect of Maharshi Global Construction, told a gathering
at the National 
Building museum recently that homes built on the principles of Vedic
architecture become 
conduits of cosmic energy. Those who dwell in such houses are happy, healthy
and at peace, he 
said while showing slides. 

A builder, Jeffrey Abramson, said his life changed when he moved to his new
house designed as 
per the Vedic specifications. He and his wife practice Transcendental
Meditation daily. “I felt my 
handcuffs had been taken off”. 

Mr Abramson is putting his money where his mouth is and building a 72-million
dollar building 
project in Maryland, based on the Vedic principles. 

While this traditional wisdom has come from india, some in India tend to
pooh-pooh things like 
Vedic mathematics. 

However, in America as the believers challenge the theory of evolution, there
is a measure of 
acceptance of even Christian physics

Subject: Reconstructing the World

Dear Alumni and Friends,

1400 fortunate people attended Maharishi's Guru Purnima Celebration this year
in Meru, 
Holland. The event far exceeded anyone's expectations. It was as if Maharishi
was offering the 
lives of everyone there to the lotus feet of Guru Dev. It felt and looked like
Heaven on Earth. 
There were beautiful white tents everywhere, the kind used for Presidential
inaugurations, 
decorated with red carpets, chandeliers, comfortable red velvet chairs, and
banquet halls filled 
with a variety of dishes and desserts served by professional caterers. 

Outside raised walkways were constructed between the tents, covered in green
carpet and 
decorated with small flowering trees. In the central area a pond was created
with flowers 
floating on the water. Children collected precious stones around the grounds
and greeted you 
at the dining entrance with their colorful displays.

At around 3:30 or 4:00 each afternoon a variety of delicious Indian treats and
snacks were 
distributed in all the tents. All the Rajas sat with His Majesty MahaRaj Nadar
Raam, and the 
Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, our dear President Dr.
Bevan Morris, and 
other Ministers each day discussing the implementation of Maharishi's programs
around the 
world. Maharishi frequently remarked how wonderful it was to sit and think
globally with our 
world family. 

During the Guru Purnima Day Maharishi instructed Bevan to tell people where we
stand in time. 
The year is 1,955,855,107. Another perspective is Yudisthir of the Pandavas
which is the year 
5,143. In Shankar Samvatsar, time since Ati Shankaracharya established the
four Mats, the 
Northern Mat - Jyotir Mat, the time counted from him is year 2,513. And then
Maharishi 
Samvatsar is year 50.

It was during this day that Maharishi launched his Global Reconstruction
Program and invited 
builders in every country to begin building Peace Colonies in every city
composed of fortune-
creating homes, and Peace Palaces, where Maharishi's Transcendental
Meditation and other 
Vedic-science-based programs will be taught to promote enlightenment for the
individual and 
permanent peace for the world. Many of Europe's top builders came to the Rajas
Tent to meet 
with the Rajas and His Excellency Dr. Eike Hartmann to commit their time and
resources toward 
this project. 

During this week's Global Press Conference, Bevan gave a beautiful summary of
Maharishi's 
desires for the world that were laid out during the Guru Purnima celebration.
He said that 
globally we want a grand unified world. This hope has come in the midst of
Maharishi's analysis 
of the history of the world.

Government is based upon man-made laws instead of the laws that run the
universe - the 
Constitution of the Universe. The result is a never-ending search for a better
administration. 
The present system of government, democracy, has proven to be a divider of
nations and a 
failure to provide solutions to the problems and suffering of society.

Yet when we speak to governments and show them using scientific evidence how
that system is 
failing, they have deaf ears. Maharishi explains that these leaders have
subjected themselves to 
drugs, alcohol, poisonous foods and medications. In addition, the buildings
where they reside 
and work are damaging to their fortune, clarity of thought, and ability to
understand. 

Maharishi says it is like they are running into a fire and he is telling them
don't do it, don't run 
into the gates of hell. But this is related to the destiny of the world -as
you sow, so shall you 
reap. Maharishi has always done what ever he can to help change that. 50 years
ago he started 
teaching the Transcendental Meditation program to the entire human race so
that every adult 
and student can experience all possibilities in their own awareness. This
experience alone 
awakens the total functioning of the brain.

From our own experience as alumni, we know habituating our self to that
unbounded ocean of 
consciousness, the field in which the whole universe is floating, creates the
most powerful 
thinking. With more and more people learning Transcendental Meditation and the
TM-Sidhi 
program the coherence in national consciousness will raise to a level where
government leaders 
will begin to make better decisions.

But the other thing Maharishi is focusing on and he invites us to help is to
reconstruct the world 
according to the principals of Vedic Architecture in harmony with Natural Law

(www.GlobalReconstruction.org). Build everyone a lucky house, a house that
promotes good 
fortune and will transform the lives of the people in these houses.

When a house is not built according to the proper cardinal directions aligned
to true north, 
south, east, west, then wrong layout of a home offends the harmony of nature.
When every day 
you offend the harmony of nature,

Meditation calms the mind, lengthens life: study


Reuters
May. 2, 2005 - By Charnicia E. Huggins 
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Increasing evidence suggests that transcendental 
meditation may not only reduce stress, but also may help adults with high blood 
pressure to live longer, according to a new study.
"There are many non-drug techniques for reducing blood pressure, but 
none...extend life," study author Dr. Robert H. Schneider, of the Maharishi 
University of Management in Iowa, told Reuters Health.
He added that the current study shows that "you can live longer with a 
mind-body intervention."
Transcendental meditation is a technique for calming the body and mind, to 
allow individuals to enter a state of "restful alertness," in which the body is 
awake but the mind is not engaged in conscious thought. It is a method of 
"waking up the body's own self-repair mechanisms," Schneider said.
The new report, published in this month's American Journal of Cardiology, is 
based on a review of data from two studies that showed that transcendental 
meditation helped decrease blood pressure among white and African-American 
adults, respectively. Schneider and his team evaluated the association between 
the meditation technique and risk of death among the study participants.
The two studies included 202 men and women, about 72 years old on average, 
who had pre-hypertension or mild hypertension. They were assigned to a 
transcendental meditation group, or to various comparison groups of other 
relaxation techniques.
Participants in the two studies were followed for about eight years on 
average -- a maximum of nearly 19 years -- during which 101 individuals 
died.
Overall, men and women who practiced transcendental meditation not only had 
lower blood pressures than those in the other groups, but were also 23 percent 
less likely to die from any cause, Schneider and his team report. In particular, 
they were 30 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular disease and 49 
percent less likely to die from cancer.
The "integrated holistic" transcendental meditation technique does not have 
any harmful side effects, Schneider said.
Schneider is the director of the Institute for Natural Medicine 
and Prevention, funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Center 
for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Power of Silence
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
In my opinion, a priceless collection of short quotes gathered 
from Maharishi's talks over many years and on many continents. If 
you have never seen this, or don't own it, you are in for a 
tremendous treat. This is a kind of "A to Z" or Soup to Nuts 
compendium of wisdom about every important topic that could ever 
come to mind. There are 175 pages chock full of wisdom that you will 
want to read over and over again. Makes a fantastic gift for anyone, 
TM practitioner or not, who loves wisdom and truth.

[FairfieldLife] Samadhi in CC, GC or UC [was: This stuff never gets old...Maharishi vs. the movement]

2005-05-05 Thread George DeForest
.


 Vaj wrote:
 
 one of the reasons siddhis ruin samadhi...

hmm...i think you have it backwards...

samadhi is flat kaivalya (point) until 
you learn how to function from within it, 
by doing Samyama. this practise develops 
Siddhis (powers)...but not at the expense 
of samadhi. The whole process is
nourished by samadhi...

in the sequence of development of c'ness,
from CC to GC, kaivalya is no longer seen as
flat, as in Yoga literature...it now is lively 
(enlivened by sanyama) in the Karma Mimamsa 
branch of literature.

but, after that comes Vedant (beyond Vedas)
where the subtle Silence (CC) and the
subtle Dynamism (GC) are finally United (UC)
in the greater Wholeness that is
Brahman (Totality)

or, so we been told  LOL!
