Introducing Global Good News

The Global Good News website records the historic transformation of time, from the age of ignorance to the Age of Enlightenment—from a time of darkness, suffering, and problems to a glorious new civilization for all mankind, 'Heaven on Earth'.

During the past fifty years, Maharishi’s programmes have introduced enlightenment to millions of people, and the purity of world consciousness has been steadily rising; the light of pure knowledge has been steadily rising; life according to Natural Law has been steadily rising.

With the blossoming of enlightenment in the lives of the people in many countries around the world, the world is witnessing the signs of a new awakening in every field in the direction of Heaven on Earth.

Global Good News service educates the public in the total knowledge of Natural Law, documents the trends of rising world consciousness, and highlights the success of Maharishi’s programmes around the globe:

Maharishi’s Vedic Science is the basis of all Maharishi’s programmes. It brings to light the wisdom of the Absolute—the field of Total Knowledge—for the highest evolution of consciousness, and provides a technique—Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme including Yogic Flying—whereby the life of the individual is naturally aligned with Cosmic Life.

Maharishi's Vedic Science brings to light the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, the field of Pure Consciousness—Transcendental Consciousness—the field of Total Knowledge and its infinite organizing power—as the common basis of all streams of knowledge.

Maharishi’s Consciousness-Based Education provides Total Knowledge and develops optimal brain functioning through Vedic Education. Vedic Education is offered in over 200 hundred schools and many universities around the world, which have an extraordinary reputation for the achievements of their students, who alternate study with the experience of the Home of all Knowledge—the field of their own silent Transcendental Consciousness.

Maharishi’s Vedic Medicine offers prevention-oriented health care without side effects. Many thousands of people have benefitted from its approach of enlivening the body’s inner intelligence to restore health.

Maharishi’s Global Country of World Peace administers society from the level of Nature’s Government—the field of Natural Law—the common source of all the Laws of Nature, which is nourishing to all life. This is Vedic Administration, capable of creating an enlightened society—a unified family of nations.

Maharishi is establishing Peace Palaces in the 3,000 largest cities of the world, to administer Maharishi’s Global Country of World Peace from the level of enlightenment for all times to come. Maharishi Peace Palaces are the local administrative centres of Maharishi’s Global Country of World Peace, which will educate the population in the knowledge of total Natural Law.

Maharishi Peace Governments are being established in 108 countries to complement existing governments and raise their administration to the perfect administration of Nature’s Government, through sovereignty in the domain of consciousness, authority in the invincible power of Natural Law, and activity in purifying national consciousness.

Maharishi’s Vedic Law, Justice, and Rehabilitation Programmes offer new hope for a crime-free society. Wherever Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation has been introduced into correctional systems, recidivism has dropped dramatically.

Vedic Economy is Maharishi’s Master Plan to create a balanced state of world economy, alleviating poverty and ushering in the dawn of a new world order of affluence and peace for every nation, unlike current systems of economy, which rob nations of their self-sufficiency.

Maharishi’s principles and programmes of Vedic Industry and Vedic Management are nourishing and life-supporting to every employer and employee. The Maharishi Corporate Development Programme has been the most successful stress management programme for decades, implemented by hundreds of companies worldwide.

Maharishi has laid out a plan to reconstruct the whole world on the basis of Vedic Architecture—the most comprehensive system of country, town, and home planning and building in accord with Natural Law. People throughout the world are experiencing the benefits of improved health and increased harmony and happiness, and greater success, living and working in buildings and communities aligned to gain the maximum nourishing influence from the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture allows the full creative potential of Natural Law to be expressed on every level of agriculture. All the Laws of Nature rise to support the soil, the seed, the weather, and the farmer, so that seasons come on time and crops are abundant. Maharishi Vedic Organic Farms are ‘Lands of World Peace’—lands with maximum fertility and lively nourishing power, which together form the nucleus of Maharishi Global Country of World Peace.

Vedic Astrology—Jyotish and Yagya—provides mastery over destiny, through a powerful technology to avert and minimize problems, and enhance success in all areas of life.

Vedic Music and Celebrations:‘The melodies of Gandharva Veda, with reference to the divisions of time during the day, are based on the movements of the Sun. Gandharva Veda is the music of Nature, which inspires and promotes evolution. Gandharva Veda produces the influence of harmony in one’s environment that creates an harmonious influence in the field of consciousness, purifying and nourishing the environmental trends. Gandharva Veda resonates with the Laws of Nature that promote evolutionary trends in life. It neutralizes stress everywhere—inside and outside.’ —Maharishi (23 May 2004)

More than 50 teams of the finest Gandharva Veda musicians of India have travelled to over 355 cities in over 55 countries to play the melodies of Gandharva Veda, in Maharishi’s worldwide Festivals of Music for World Peace.

In Vedic Civilization—civilization in accord with Natural Law—every day is a festival—a celebration of the Divine within man. This tradition of celebration enriches the quality of man’s life, and sets every day in the tempo of success for noble aspirations and higher achievements.

Maharishi’s Vedic Technology for World Peace: To ensure the achievement of the long-sought goal of mankind—permanent world peace—Maharishi is establishing large groups around the world practising the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme including Yogic Flying, to perpetually radiate an indomitable influence of peace and positivity around the globe.

The success of this programme has been documented by over forty scientific research studies on what scientists call the Maharishi Effect—a phase transition from chaos to order that occurs when the square root of one per cent of the population practises Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi Programme morning and evening together in one place.

Over five million individuals practising the Transcendental Meditation Programme, and over 200,000 practising the TM-Sidhi Programme, are daily purifying world consciousness from the silent level of their own consciousness, permeating all time and all space values with harmony, with evenness of higher intelligence.

Many religions have embraced Transcendental Meditation as a technique to experience the Bliss of Divinity, bringing fulfilment to their own spiritual aspirations.

Over 600 scientific research studies, conducted at more than 250 independent universities and research institutions in 33 countries, have demonstrated the profound benefits of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme for all aspects of individual and collective life. Refer to Scientific Research on Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation Programme: Collected Papers, Volumes 1–6 (Volume 7 in press).

‘In the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme we have the practical knowledge needed to ring the Bell of Invincibility and forever free mankind from bondage. The nature of life is unbounded and invincible Bliss Consciousness. There is no need for any individual to suffer or for any nation to face problems.

‘World consciousness is rising so fast in purity because of the millions of people who practise the Transcendental Meditation Technique that we have begun to feel the warmth of the sunshine of the Age of Enlightenment. For this blessing we cannot find words to express our gratitude to Guru Dev, other than “Jai Guru Dev”.’
—Maharishi

Maharishi began his worldwide Movement endowed only with the confidence he possessed in the knowledge of life and living bestowed on him by his beloved Master, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Swami Brahmananda Saraswati Maharaj, Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Badarikashram, Himalayas—most illustrious embodiment of Vedic Wisdom in the eternal tradition of Vedic Masters*.

Maharishi realized that with the knowledge of Shri Guru Dev alone he could spiritually regenerate the whole world, and he embarked on this task with all the simplicity and unboundedness of vision possessed by only the greatest of great Maharishis of the Vedic Tradition.

Soon the work that Maharishi began forty-eight years ago will reach its fulfilment. The goal of his worldwide activity will be achieved, and a golden era will dawn, an enlightened age:

‘A new humanity will be born, fuller in conception and richer in experience and accomplishments in all fields. Joy of life will belong to every man, love will dominate human society, truth and virtue will reign in the world, peace on earth will be permanent, and all will live in fulfilment in fullness of life in God Consciousness.’ —Maharishi

* ‘The Vedic Tradition, upheld in its purity by a long history of custodians, enshrines the supreme knowledge of the integration of life.

‘From time to time, a revival of man’s understanding of the eternal wisdom of this Holy Tradition arises to rescue him from suffering, restoring him to the speedy path of evolution, and awakening him to a meaningful life in fulfilment.

‘The Masters of this Tradition have been exponents of reality from earliest ages. In each new epoch, they have propounded the enduring truths of practical living and have set out those standards by which men’s lives may attain the highest achievements and fulfilment, generation after generation.’
—Maharishi
