"Lasting world peace can only exist on the basis of happiness. Without happiness there can be no lasting world peace. We are all made of Bliss. Only we need to EXPERIENCE our own nature, to be happy in life." Learn how here.

A living Saint

About 20 years ago, I was sitting in a room full of people in the Transcendental Meditation center in Toronto, Canada. I was told we would be establishing a phone connection to Maharishi in a few minutes.

I was a new meditator then, and I didn't even know who Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was. I had just learned TM based on the claims that it could help me with stress in my life.

Over the speakerphone, Maharishi's voice came on. A few seconds later, the phone connection got dropped and we had to reconnect to Maharishi. Once reconnected, I heard Maharishi's voice again over the speakerphone. Giggling, Maharishi said "Nature is not ready yet."

I thought to myself "Who is this man who reacts this way to a dropped telephone connection?" "Nature is not ready yet?"

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

On my iPod, this morning, I'm listening to a talk given by Maharishi, recorded in 1960.

On the recording, Maharishi talks to the first few people he taught Transcendental Meditation to, in a small room in a house in California, and through the window you can hear the noise of the cars passing by, you hear sirens.

Maharishi says he is going to spiritually re-generate the whole world.

Can you imagine how these first few people, in California, in 1960, when they were sitting down with this little monk from the Himalayas, with no money whatsoever, how some of them could have thought this man was a "cuckoo", a "loony"?

Today, 50 years later, there are millions of people across the globe who belong to every religion who practice Transcendental Meditation daily, with more learning every day, and there are groups of yogic flyers being formed in every one of the world's 192 countries.

In South America, there are currently tens of thousands of students learning TM and the yogic flying technique as part of their university studies.

In India, the land of the Veda, there are literally hundreds of thousands of children who are going to schools founded my Maharishi, and are growing up in the Vedic tradition. India is going to be the world's next super-power, the lighthouse of the world, in a decade. India used to be, then fell out of favor, and now the cycle is repeating itself.

In his youth, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi studied physics in university in India, then he set out to find ENLIGHTENMENT and left for the Himalayan mountains, and found his spiritual master, Guru Dev.

Maharishi spent about 13 years as Guru Dev's disciple. Upon Guru Dev's death, Maharishi left the Himalayas for the purpose of spiritually re-generating the whole world.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has transformed the world, through the grace of his spiritual master Shri Guru Dev. Maharishi himself never took credit for his accomplishments. He always gave credit to his spiritual master, Guru Dev. So when we want to please Maharishi, we say "Jai Guru Dev", which means roughly "All Glory to Guru Dev".

The process is already started, it is happening and nothing can stop it now.

The world is leaving behind the darkness of Kali Yuga and we are entering the dawn of Sat Yuga, a time of harmony and happiness in the world, where the people of the world live in accord with Natural Law.

Maharishi teaches that "Life is Bliss".
If life is not spontaneously lived in Bliss, Maharishi shows us a way, a technique for living life in accord with Natural Law: Transcendental Meditation.

Maharishi teaches us that violation of Natural Law is the cause of suffering in life.

But because of the innumerable and complex influences of every action we take in life, it is impossible for us to correctly gauge whether an action is wrong or correct. Through the practice of Transcendental Meditation, by bringing the mind to the level where the laws of Nature originate, the mind is imbued by Natural Law, like a piece of cloth dipped in dye, and thus the mind starts to spontaneously behave in accord in Natural Law, which is the way to peace, happiness and fulfillment in life.

Only actions which are evolutionary are supported by Nature, and find their fulfillment easily and powerfully. If one tries to perform actions which are not evolutionary, the support of Nature is not present, and the action results in suffering and problems in life.

Lasting peace is only possible when there is happiness

Maharishi teaches that lasting peace is only possible when there is happiness. Unless Bliss is gained, unless the blissful realm of the Self is gained, there can be no lasting peace. Only once man has learned the technique for Bliss, can there be lasting peace on earth. Once Bliss is gained, peace is naturally permanent.

Maharishi wants all the people of the earth to learn the technique for Bliss, and I will do my small part to help make it happen.

Jai Guru Dev.
