His Holiness
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
who introduced Transcendental Meditation to the world forty-four
years ago and opened the gateway of enlightenment to millions of
people, is now offering his supreme system of defence to bring invincibility
to every nation and perpetual peace to the world family ‘Military is purposeful only if it has the indomitable power
of invincibility, with the natural ability to prevent the birth
of an enemy. My Vedic Technology of Defence offers this indomitable strength
of invincibility to the military of every nation’

The
Maharishi Effect has consistently been found to
reduce conflict and violence on the regional and international
levels.
For
example, in 1978 Maharishi implemented a ‘World Peace Project’,
in which 1400 experts went to five trouble-spot regions (Southeast
Asia, Middle East, Iran, Zimbabwe [southern Africa], and Central
America) to reduce violence through collective practice of the
TM-Sidhi Programme. An extensive analysis of international relations
and conflict data from an independent research group (the Conflict
and Peace Data Bank of the University of Maryland) showed that
during the three months of the project there was a significant
reduction of hostile acts and an increase in cooperative events
in these trouble-spots (35).
In
1983, a group of Yogic Flyers was established for two months in
an area near an ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Research
studies published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution
verified that during the period when the size of this group was
large, there was a significant decrease in war intensity and war
fatalities (23, 39). (Refer to chart below.)

Conflict through the Group Practice of

During
periods when a large group was participating in the
Transcendental Meditation Sidhi Programme in the Middle
East, there was a significant drop in war intensity
and war deaths in the Middle East conflict.
