(22 October 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi strongly rebuked today's

problem-ridden governments as a "shame and an abuse of power" because millions

of citizens in every country suffer in poverty while their leaders sell off the

nation's sovereignty and amass personal wealth through the bribes of foreign

powers and special interests.

 

The only solution, Maharishi said, is to enliven in world consciousness total

Natural Law - the Constitution of the Universe - which administers the universe

with perfect order. "Our world will be transformed. Leaders will rise to

enlightenment, administration will be prevention-oriented and problem-free, and

every nation will enjoy invincibility, affluence, and peace," Maharishi said.

 

Maharishi's pronouncements came on Wednesday, 15 October, during his global news

conference, which was broadcast live via satellite and Internet webcast from the

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

news conferences will be held on 22 and 23 October (please see below for

details).

 

Sovereignty has become a "begging bowl"

 

Maharishi said that while every head of state publicly proclaims pride in his

nation's sovereignty, the reality is that sovereignty has become nothing more

than a "begging bowl". For example, government leaders readily accept bribes

from foreign arms dealers and, in exchange, the government purchases costly

weapons - weapons paid for by the tax dollars of the nation's poor. "It pains me

to see what governments are doing to their people. Such bribery is a shame - it

deprives millions of people of their right to peace and happiness."

 

Maharishi also had strong words for the United Nations, which he dismissed as "a

fraud and a laughingstock - like a football kicked around here and there."

 

Maharishi then cautioned government leaders: "You can do what you want today,

but tomorrow you will reap the consequences of what you have sown. It is not

good to poison the world. It is not good to bribe poor nations and rob them of

their life for the sake of money. It is cruel. Stop it."

 

Government has a parental role in the nation

 

Maharishi urged the heads of state to be kind to their people. "Government has a

parental role in the nation. Government should ensure that everyone has complete

education to develop their total brain potential, so they don't make mistakes in

life; proper health care that is prevention-oriented and free from hazardous

side effects; healthy food that is not grown with poisonous chemical pesticides

and fertilisers; and invincible defence that prevents the birth of an enemy -

that eliminates the enmity within the enemy."

 

Peace Governments will bring peace and prosperity to every nation

 

For this, Maharishi announced that he is establishing Peace Governments in every

country to administer the whole population from the level of the Constitution of

the Universe, which maintains the relationship between unity and diversity in

the infinitely expanded universe. Peace Governments are now establishing in

every country groups of several thousand peace-creating experts who will enliven

the Constitution of the Universe within their own self-referral consciousness

and radiate coherence in national consciousness. "Peace Governments will quietly

bring peace and prosperity to every individual in every nation," Maharishi said.

 

Maharishi offers to train government leaders in total Natural Law

 

Maharishi also offered anew to train government leaders in total Natural Law. "I

will provide the knowledge to create an impenetrable atmosphere of positivity

and coherence in national consciousness, so that governments will never face

problems - or be influenced by foreign powers giving bribes and selling arms."

 

"You can create an ideal nation - you can create Heaven on Earth"

 

Maharishi concluded by saying that the knowledge of the Constitution of the

Universe is his gift to heads of state. "It is simple for me. I know how to turn

on the light and eliminate the darkness. I have the knowledge from Vedic science

to raise every nation to invincibility - and I am proudly prepared to give it

out.

 

"I invite every head of state and every minister to take this training,"

Maharishi said. "Don't delay even one day because you have a parental role to

play for your people. You can create an ideal nation - you can create Heaven on

Earth. Let's join hands to create a beautiful world for ourselves and for all

generations to come."
