Great news for America! On March 28, Maharishi inaugurated the World Capital of Peace for America at the Brahmasthan (geographical center) of America, in Smith Center, Kansas. Maharishi said the World Capital of Peace will create coherent collective consciousness, raise the nation to invincibility, and transform America into a lighthouse of freedom and invincibility for every nation in the whole world.
Maharishi spoke via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. Global Ministers and Rajas of the US domains of the Global Country of World Peace also participated in the grand celebration. The mayor and other civic leaders as well as members of the press attended the event.
Maharishi said the World Capital of Peace will also serve as the Capital of the US Peace Government. Under the leadership of its president, Dr. John Hagelin, Maharishi said the US Peace Government will train a new generation of enlightened leaders in all areas of society for the nation.
Dr. Hagelin explained the significance of establishing the World Capital of Peace in the Brahmasthan of the U.S. “According to the ancient Vedic science of architecture in harmony with Natural Law, the center point of a building, a city, or an entire nation is a powerful, strategic point characterized by dynamic silence. The Capital of World Peace will take natural advantage of this strategic point to produce the maximum influence of peace and positivity, which will radiate out—like the rays of the sun—across the entire country,” Dr. Hagelin said.
Maharishi concluded by saying that after 50 years of talking about his global peace program he is now focused on producing the effect. “When you are lighting a lamp, it is not necessary to talk much about it—you simply light the lamp and the darkness disappears,” Maharishi said. “In the same way, during the reign of Dr. Hagelin, without talking much about peace, real peace will quietly emerge on all levels of national life. Problems will disappear, as darkness disappears with the onset of light—and the whole nation will rise to permanent peace and invincibility. America will become a guiding light for every nation to rise to invincibility and for the whole family of nations to enjoy lasting peace.”
