Maharishi Mahesh Yogi declared the world to be at a critical crossroad, with

every government forced to make a choice: Continue down the path of

destruction, which threatens to engulf the world, or apply the knowledge that

will create permanent world peace."We have repeatedly offered every government

leader the knowledge to create prevention-oriented, problem-free

administration. Now they have to decide whether to take the offer today - or

ignore it and continue to let their people suffer," Maharishi said. "But every

government should know that there is no reason to postpone the onset of a

bright new destiny for their country."Maharishi's declaration came during his

weekly global news conference last Wednesday, which was held at the Capital of

the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. Maharishi's next news

conferences will be held on 26 and 27 March and will be broadcast live via

satellite, Internet webcast, and teleconference call (see below for

details).Maharishi calls for a second governmentMaharishi emphasised the

immediacy of his offer. He said that in today's crisis-ridden world, no one is

satisfied with government - neither the leaders nor the people - and the

problems are only getting worse. "We are raising the voice for governments to

make use of the higher intelligence of Natural Law that governs the infinite

diversity of the universe with perfect order.We invite every country to

establish a 'second government' of peace-creating experts to bring the support

of Natural Law to their administration to prevent all problems."Creating peace

in the nation from the field of peace Maharishi said that the second government

will function independently from the national government - but will bring

success to all the administration's undertakings. He said that the experts will

not go "door-to-door to the prime minister or president talking about peace".

Instead, they will create peace in the nation by enlivening from deep within

their own Self the unified field of consciousness - the field of perfect order

and infinite peace. "Through their collective practice of Vedic technologies of

consciousness, including Transcendental Meditation, Yogic Flying, Yagyas, and

Graha Shantis, these experts will radiate coherence and peace, and eliminate

negativity and stress in national consciousness," Maharishi explained. "This

collective practice is the only way a government can prevent problems and

conflict - and promote health, wealth, and happiness in society." Maharishi

said his offer of a second government comes after nearly 50 years of bringing

enlightenment to millions of individuals worldwide through his Vedic

technologies of consciousness - and on the basis of hundreds of published

scientific studies documenting the beneficial effects of his programmes for the

individual and society.Dr Hagelin to establish US Peace GovernmentMaharishi then

praised Dr John Hagelin, quantum physicist and presidential nominee of the

Natural Law Party in 2000, for leading a nationwide initiative to establish a

second government in America - the US Peace Government - which will be

affiliated with the Global Country of World Peace. Dr Hagelin is calling on the

nation's foremost scientists, doctors, and educators to apply their profound

scientific knowledge of Natural Law to create prevention-oriented, problem-free

administration. Dr Hagelin is the Minister of Science and Technology of the

Global Country of World Peace.Nations who sell arms are inhuman and

beastlyMaharishi also admonished "warmongering nations" who promote conflict in

the world in order to sell their weapons. "These nations instigate wars to

create fear in the world family. Then arms dealers can sell weapons to one

country and then go to its neighbour with the warning, 'The country next to you

has these weapons, so to save yourself, you have to have them, too.' This kind

of manipulation - sacrificing life in order to make money - is shameful,

inhuman, and beastly. It is a black spot in society," Maharishi said. "The

world will be in peace only when it utilises the evolutionary power of Natural

Law - it will never be in peace because of the sales agents of warmongering

nations."The secret of perfection in life through Natural Law has been

foundMaharishi concluded the news conference by declaring, "Fortunately, the

secret of perfection in life through Natural Law has been found. Now it is just

a matter of how soon we can apply it in every nation. I have a long-term

programme - my organisation will be available to government leaders in every

generation who decide to create prevention-oriented, problem-free

administration. But even if just a few countries accept our offer now and

establish a second government - that will be enough for the whole world

consciousness to be harmonious, happy, and free from negativity. It all depends

upon the destiny of mankind. Sooner or later there will be permanent peace on

our dear planet Earth."
