Maharishi's message to heads of state

 

Proper orientation of government buildings is

the secret to successful administration

***************************

"Vedic architecture will promote thinking

and behaviour in accord with Natural Law

to prevent chaos, conflict, and failure"

***************************

 

(February 16, 2004) - His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi revealed to heads of

state a "great secret" of successful administration: Government buildings should

be properly designed and oriented to the east according to Vedic architecture in

harmony with Natural Law. Such buildings, Maharishi said, will promote in every

government leader thinking and behaviour in accord with Natural Law to prevent

the chaos, conflict, and failure of administration in every country.

Maharishi's announcement came during his global news conference on Wednesday,

February 11, 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 February 18 and 19.

 

Sthapatya Veda connects the individual with his cosmic potential

 

Maharishi defined Vedic architecture-Sthapatya Veda-as a great science of life

and one of 40 approaches of Vedic science to promote life in accord with total

Natural Law-the Unified Field-which administers the universe with perfect order.

"Sthapatya Veda provides the knowledge to connect the individual with his cosmic

potential," Maharishi said.

 

Orientation has a profound influence on life

 

Maharishi cited the health problems associated with modern architectural design

and construction- "sick building syndrome"-and explained that the orientation of

a building has a profound influence on the thinking and behavior of the

occupants. Maharishi said there are simple rules of Sthapatya Veda that must be

followed to ensure a happy, healthy life, including the direction of the

entrance of a building, the slope of the

land, the location of water on the land, etc.

 

"If these rules are not followed, the thinking of the people will not be in

accord with the evolutionary direction of Natural Law-and they will create

problems for themselves and others," Maharishi said. Maharishi then added, "The

architect who designed a capital building in a country may be renowned, but if

the orientation-vastu-is crooked, it will produce problems for the government."

 

Maharishi added that government leaders have been unable to understand-much less

adopt-his simple message of how to create world peace because they are working

in an improper vastu, which clouds the thinking process. "Government leaders may

be well meaning, but nothing in government will succeed until the vastu is

corrected," Maharishi said.

 

Education fails to provide the knowledge of proper orientation

 

Maharishi said that education is responsible for all such problems because it

fails to provide the knowledge of proper orientation through Sthapatya Veda. The

solution, Maharishi said, is for governments to offer Vedic education in their

schools, colleges, and universities.

 

"Total Natural Law is engrained within the Self-the Atma-of everyone," Maharishi

said. "Vedic education-including the knowledge of Sthapatya Veda-cultures the

intellect, mind, senses, and speech so that every impulse of the individual is

supported by total Natural Law. We are offering to every government

prevention-oriented, problem-free administration through Vedic education. This

will give to every individual and every nation command over total Natural

Law-the light of God-for a mistake-free life in invincibility, affluence, and

peace."

 

In response to a press question about the influence of proper-or improper-vastu

on an individual, Maharishi said, "It is very real. It is as real as when the

sun rises and darkness disappears-or when the sun sets and everything is dark."

 

Training Administrators of the Global Country of World Peace

and establishing Peace Palaces and Vedic Universities

 

Maharishi also announced that he is training Administrators of his Global

Country of World Peace to quietly bring coherence and harmony to the world

through the knowledge of total Natural Law. In addition, Maharishi said, his

Global Country of World Peace is establishing for these Administrators 3,000

Peace Palaces, built according to Sthapatya Veda in every major city around the

world. Each Peace Palace will be home to 100 to 200 peace-creating Yogic Flyers

and to a Vedic University, which will offer the knowledge of total Natural Law

for the whole population to rise to higher states of consciousness.

 

"Take it and enjoy, or don't take it and suffer-the choice is yours"

 

Maharishi concluded by emphasising that life is not meant for suffering. "Those

who want to suffer can do so-but those who don't want to suffer can utilise our

programs to enjoy a better life," Maharishi said. Then Maharishi added a final

message to government leaders: "With the knowledge of total Natural Law, you can

create a perfect government and a perfect human race. For that, Sthapatya Veda

is very necessary for every government in every country. Take it and enjoy, or

don't take it and continue to suffer. The choice is yours."
