Highlights of Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam's
address in the Golden Dome:
Special role of the United States
in creating Heaven on Earth

(20 April 2009) Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, continued his address on 3 April 2009 to the whole Invincible America Assembly community in the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge at Maharishi University of Management. Maharaja praised the enormous creativity of the United States and its capacity for 'thinking big', which also gives the nation an especially important role in creating Heaven on Earth.

Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam expressed his appreciation for the United States, in part because he had learned there many areas of knowledge, including physiology and neurology, that helped to unfold, under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's guidance, 'the very great understanding which Maharishi already had' of the reality of Veda and Vedic Literature in human physiology. Maharaja explained that 'we were able with his guidance to discover these things that really show the uniqueness of our human physiology as being divine, that really explains why man was created in the image of God.'
 

Maharaja also discussed the special role of the United States in creating Heaven on Earth. 'When America does something, it does it very big. Do you want to go to the moon? They'll take you to the moon. You want a scientific discovery, computers, knowledge?—absolutely great. Americans have that openness, that creativity that Maharishi was inspired by—that's why he constantly repeated that the United States was the most creative country in the world. You want a Maharishi Vedic City, the United States will do it. You want funded outside of India, a big group, a large group [of Yogic Flying Vedic Pandits]—''Yes we'll do it.''

'So the United States, in my vision and also in my understanding from Maharishi, is a very key power for the creation of Heaven on Earth,' Maharaja said. 'It is a big responsibility, because you expend to do everything big—even the financial crisis, it will do it very big. You want an atomic bomb, it will create it.'

This, Maharaja emphasized, brings a great responsibility for the United States to have Total Knowledge of Natural Law. 'So this ability to achieve, to be great, to be on top of the world, has to have the element of total Natural Law in it. Therefore the US needs the knowledge in it, and the knowledge needs the US.'

Maharaja gave an analogy of 'someone holding the flowers, and someone holding the vase with water in it, and each says, ''It's mine, it's not yours''—and so the beautiful flowers are going to die and the vase remains not as beautiful as it could be. You put the flowers in the vase, and you have beautiful flowers in a beautiful vase.

'In the same way, there is Total Knowledge of spirituality, of the most profound level of understanding of Natural Law, available in the land of the Veda [India], the land of Maharishi. And there is this great creative intelligence in the minds and hearts, the openness of the people of the United States—their creativity, their thinking, their ability to evaluate everything and take what is good and move on with it, without being being held back by any concerns—just creative, moving forward,' Maharaja said. 'And I trust that this is a very important aspect of our ability to create Heaven on Earth.'
 

Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam
visits his Capital in
Maharishi Vedic City, USA

(5 April 2009) Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, visited the seat of his administration in North America in Maharishi Vedic City, USA on Friday 3 April, and gave a beautiful address to 1,200 faculty, students, community leaders, and Invincible America Assembly participants in the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge at Maharishi University of Management in nearby Fairfield.

Dr Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, and President of Maharishi University of Management, accompanied Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam on his visit to the United States from the International Capital of the Global Country in MERU, Holland.

'We are really so fortunate that Maharaja has come to our community, to our Invincible America Assembly, to bless us on the great day of Raam Navami,' Dr Morris said. 'This moment will live in our memory, because it is the first great visit of Maharaja anywhere in the world, since Maharishi has bestowed upon him the full responsibility for the leadership of this Movement, the bringing of Raam Raj into the world. Maharaja means the great ruler, Adhiraj means preeminent among all rulers, and Rajaraam means in the line of Raja Raam the Great of Ayodhya, in whose kingdom Brahm (Totality, total Natural Law) was the ruler and suffering belonged to no one. So even in this title, we see the degree of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's admiration of this great ruler of our whole world.'

He described the 'great atmosphere of auspiciousness and bliss' since Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam's arrival at his Capital in Maharishi Vedic City, established by Maharishi as a seat for Maharaja in the US and North America. He was warmly welcomed by Maharishi Vedic Pandits performing Vedic recitation and a traditional ceremony of welcome, and by Rajas of the Global Country and Maharishi Purusha Programme members.

Before Maharaja addressed the gathering in the Dome, Dr Morris presented all the community leaders and groups to him, including those already noted, as well as Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment; Fairfield Mayor Ed Malloy, and the mayor and city council of Maharishi Vedic City; and leading Vedic experts from India—'everyone who is here together for their own enlightenment and bliss, and for the sake of the whole world—really the cream of the world are gathered here'.

Dr Morris expressed the gratitude of the whole community to Maharaja for his coming, explaining that he had come just for the purpose of being with everyone, especially on the day of Raam Navami, 'which truly embodies the nature of the administration' of the Global Country of World Peace.

Maharaja's visit coincided with great events in New York City: a major press conference Friday by the David Lynch Foundation to announce the 'Change Begins Within' benefit concert Saturday 4 April—headlined by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, to raise funds for its global initiative to teach 1 million school children Transcendental Meditation.

Dr Morris described to Maharaja the community's achievements, particularly its dedication over many years to creating coherence in national consciousness through the large group of Yogic Flyers practising together twice daily in the two Golden Domes of Pure Knowledge—since 2006 designated as the Invincible America Assembly by Maharishi. 'Probably just in the two Golden Domes, there will be something like 30 million hours of transcending, from all the long practice over the years,' he said.

Dr Morris praised Invincible America Assembly participants, explaining to Maharaja that they have been unfolding through their daily long group practice 'a highly developed stage of human consciousness, fulfilling the birthright of every human being'. Arriving in the United States for the first time since the new year, Dr Morris congratulated the Assembly, commenting on the new momentum of evolutionary change and progress in the nation, 'emanating from the enlightened consciousness of this group of people', adding that this was a gift from Maharishi.
 

Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam
introduced in Golden Dome
as 'greatest scientist of all human history'
 

(6 April 2009) Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, visited the seat of his administration in North America in Maharishi Vedic City, USA on Friday 3 April, and gave a beautiful address to 1,200 faculty, students, community leaders, and Invincible America Assembly participants in the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge at Maharishi University of Management in nearby Fairfield.

Dr Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace and President of Maharishi University of Management, introduced Maharaja to the large gathering in the Dome as 'the greatest scientist of all human history' for his historic discovery, under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, of the reality of Veda and Vedic Literature in human physiology.

Dr Morris honoured Maharaja's supreme intellectual genius, and his dedication and openness to the whole field of Total Knowledge he received from Maharishi, to 'illuminate the relationship between the field of consciousness, its self-referral vibrations as Veda and Vedic Literature, and the expression of that in human physiology, and the physiology of the universe—making the reality that there is only one continuum of consciousness, and physiology is consciousness, the individual is cosmic, and has cosmic creative potential. . . .

'Maharishi saw that what Maharaja had done was unite all opposite values, in a field of unity: spirituality and science, matter and consciousness—all the seemingly opposite extremes, brought into one grand unity of scientific understanding—and not just one for intellectual enjoyment, but one which, through the practice of the techniques which Guru Dev* gave to all of us through Maharishi, this reality could be completely lived by every human being, and every nation could be invincible.

'This was what Maharishi saw in this discovery, that it had in fact created the intellectual foundation for the dawn of Raam Raj, and the education in Raam Raj that would sustain life in the field of bliss and make heaven continually be open, the reality of life on earth for countless generations.' This was the magnitude of Maharaja's discovery, Dr Morris said, expressed in his first book, and coming out soon in a second book, which shows the Ramayan in the physiology of every human being.

'Maharishi was so proud of this discovery,' Dr Morris said, 'that he weighed Maharaja in gold in 1998, like something from the ancient traditions of India, for such a supreme accomplishment.' Maharishi saw that this great scientist was 'the proper leader of his world Movement for the continuation of his legacy in the world', and crowned Maharaja as First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace in 2000.

Dr Morris also honoured Maharaja's beautiful support of Maharishi especially in early 2008 when Maharishi was establishing the direction for the continuation of all his programmes of the Global Country of World Peace—the 'farewell gift' he requested from the Rajas, of building Maharishi Towers of Invincibility in all countries; establishment of 48 Brahmanand Saraswati Nagars throughout India, and the Global Capital of Raam Raj at the Brahma-Sthan of India; culminating in the foundation of the Brahmanand Saraswati Trust to create an endowment fund to support large groups of Vedic Pandits in India and around the world.

And Maharishi bestowed the responsibility for all of this on Maharaja, Dr Morris said, which he feels he shares with all the leadership of the Global Country of World Peace and with all the enlightened of the world, including this group he was addressing today.

Thanking Maharaja for coming and blessing the community, a 'huge golden day in our history', Dr Morris recalled many inspiring events over the years in the Maharishi Patanjali Golden Dome, 'which Maharishi conceived and which was built completely with his inspiration and guidance, to create an invincible America'—including Maharishi's two visits: in December 1979 when the Dome was under construction, giving a beautiful lecture from where Maharaja was now sitting; and again in December 1983, inaugurating the Taste of Utopia Assembly in a gathering of 3,000 Yogic Flyers.

Dr Morris also honoured Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam's guidance of the Global Council of Rajas, Minsters, Raj Rajeshwaris, 'with beautiful words inspired from the level of silence, from Maharishi's level', setting everything in the right path. 'We all have been grateful for your leadership, for your kindness, and for your all-inclusiveness. He draws everyone together, he constantly unifies, and gives wise blessings and inspiration, is just the living embodiment of enlightened heart and enlightened intellect.' In crowning Maharaja, Dr Morris said, Maharishi gave everyone 'a chance to unfold the totality of administration through silence that Maharishi desired, that he saw coming for the whole world through the leadership of Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam'.

 

McCartney says:
Meditation helped stabilize Beatles

(4 April 2009) NEW YORK (Reuters) - The surviving members of the Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, will perform at a concert on Saturday to raise funds to help children learn a meditation technique McCartney said helped stabilize the band at the height of its fame.

McCartney and Starr will perform separate sets at the 'Change Begins Within' concert for the David Lynch Foundation, which helps people learn Transcendental Meditation.

The Beatles helped popularize Transcendental Meditation—described as a simple mental technique that combats stress—in 1967 when they sought spiritual guidance from an Indian guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

'It was a great gift that Maharishi gave us,' McCartney told a news conference on Friday to promote the concert. 'For me, it came at a time when we were looking for something to kind of stabilize us toward the end of the crazy '60s.'

'It's a lifelong gift. It's something you can call on at any time,' he said. 'I think it's a great thing it's actually coming into the mainstream.'

Starr also described Transcendental Meditation as a gift and that since learning it more than 40 years ago 'sometimes a lot and sometimes a little I have meditated.'

The lineup for the concert at famed Radio City Music Hall also includes Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder, blues-folk musician Ben Harper and techno star Moby.

Filmmaker David Lynch's foundation says that since 2005 it has provided scholarships for more than 100,000 at-risk young people, teachers and parents in 30 countries to learn Transcendental Meditation.

The concert is intended to raise funds toward the foundation's goal of helping a million children learn to meditate.

'I feel like I'm at a meeting of meditators anonymous,' Moby joked. 'I just learned TM. recently  . . .'

'. . . . one of the things that impressed me about TM. . . . was its simplicity,' he said. 'It's a simple practice that calms the mind.'
