A Glimpse of Forty-Three Years
Around the World
1957–2000

On 10 June 1998, Maharishi inaugurated Maharishi Veda Vision—the Maharishi Channel—as the expression of the natural desire of the wise throughout the ages to create perfection in life and totally eliminate suffering—to bring the joy of ‘Heaven on Earth’ to every individual and every nation in the world.

Maharishi Channel is a modern flow of the ancient, eternal Vedic Wisdom for perfection in life, and transformation of the stress and suffering-ridden world into a glowing world of health, wealth, and happiness.

Maharishi Channel is bringing the timeless knowledge Natural Law to every *home, and is enlivening the reality that human life is the expression of the total knowledge of Natural Law; and that every individual can become ‘Cosmic’ through consciousness-based education, Vedic Education; and that every individual can gain the ability to use his full creative potential and be supported by all the Laws of Nature; and that every individual can live his unbounded creativity for unbounded success and fulfilment in daily life.

One Maharishi Channel very quickly expanded into a global network of eight satellite transmissions, and Maharishi Open University was inaugurated on 2 August 1998, bringing the total knowledge of Natural Law to every country, broadcasting in twenty different languages from Maharishi Vedic University in the land of WHOLENESS—Holland.

Maharishi Open University introduced the total field of Vedic Wisdom in its first ‘Total Knowledge Course’. Now, in the courses that follow, the application of this Total Knowledge will be applied to raise every profession in the world today to a higher level of perfection. Total Knowledge will be brought to light in courses on Business Management, Public Administration, Supreme Political Science, Vedic Defence, Vedic International Relations, Vedic Law (Natural Law or Kanune Kudrat) and Justice, Vedic Health Management, Vedic Architecture, Vedic Agriculture, and Maharishi Jyotish.

The laying of the foundation stone of the World Centre for Vedic Learning and Maharishi Vedic Vishwa Prashasan Rajadhani—the World Capital of Maharishi’s Global Administration through Natural Law—took place at the Brahma-Sthan of India on 6 November 1998.

This tallest building of the world will raise Vedic Wisdom to its highest dignity, will radiate perpetual peace on earth, and will be the nourishing centre of Vedic Wisdom to provide the supreme knowledge for perfection in life for all the twelve Time-Zone Capitals of Maharishi’s Global Administration through Natural Law—Maharishi Vedic Vishwa Prashasan—in order to quickly bring the benefit of Vedic Wisdom to all the people in the world.

This World Centre of Vedic Wisdom will train Vedic Scholars who will radiate an influence of peace, harmony, and happiness, bringing the support of Natural Law indiscriminately to everyone on earth for all time.

During the first quarter of 1999, Maharishi re-established throughout India, in small villages and towns, the ‘one Guruji system’, according to the tradition of Vedic Education, giving the opportunity to thousands of students to gain Total Knowledge and perpetuate life according to Natural Law in their family, society, and nation.

Through the ‘one Guruji’ system, the same teacher takes the same students to higher classes year after year. The teacher and the students both rise to higher states of consciousness, and the Guruji also receives higher degrees in education from the university, with the resulting increase in professional, economic, and social status.

To extend India’s nourishing influence to every nation, large groups of Vedic Pandits are being established in all parts of India. The task before Vedic India is to nullify the destructive forces of the British and American policies of NATO, by raising the nourishing Vedic influence in India and in world consciousness.

Maharishi’s inspiration to make every country a ‘Country of World Peace’, and his invitation to every government to declare their country the ‘Country of World Peace’, lead to the inauguration, on 20 March 1999, of ‘Maharishi’s Country of World Peace’‡.

In Maharishi’s Country of World Peace, the first session of the International Court of Justice will be celebrated in the Parliament of World Peace on Vijaya Dashmi Day—the ‘Day of Invincibility for Every Nation’.
