(30 September 2003) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi declared that Peace Governments, now being established in every country, are the only hope to save the world from violence and destruction. Maharishi said that Peace Governments will establish groups of coherence-creating experts in every country so that every nation is strong and invincible - and the family of nations is at peace.

"Your missiles will not bring you safety," Maharishi said in a special message to world leaders. "The only way to survive is to create integrated national consciousness. And for that, the Peace Government is the answer. Establish groups of Yogic Flyers on the national, state, and city levels. Do it today - or one by one, every nation will be swallowed up the dragon."

Maharishi's pronouncement came on Wednesday, 24 September, during his global news conference, 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 1 and 2 October (please see below for details).

Creating integrated national consciousness

Maharishi described governments that use punishment and military force to maintain order in society as "barbaric and a bankruptcy of power". In contrast, Maharishi said that Peace Governments are offering the knowledge and technologies of total Natural Law to create integrated national consciousness - the basis of successful, fulfilling, ideal administration for everyone in the nation.

Government of the Universe is the model of stable administration

Maharishi said that integrated national consciousness will also create stable administration so that current governments can remain in power and no longer hold disruptive elections. Maharishi identified the Government of the Universe as the model of stable administration. "The Government of the Universe - the Constitution of the Universe - promotes the progress and order of everything in the universe, from point to infinity. It is constant; it does not change. So why should the life of a nation have to be exposed to change? We have the knowledge of how to make use of the Constitution of the Universe in world affairs - and we are generously offering to share it with every government," Maharishi said.

Maharishi invited government leaders to immediately take training in the Constitution of the Universe to become successful administrators. "Then governments won't have to face poverty or problems," Maharishi said. "Quietly, harmony will prevail and the trends and tendencies of the people will be soft, graceful, and pious."

Education is the key to ideal administration

Maharishi said that proper education is the key to ideal administration. "Every government should offer the knowledge of the Constitution of the Universe in their schools, colleges, and universities. Then the coming generations will know how to utilize total Natural Law to enjoy a mistake-free life and create prevention-oriented, problem-free administration in their nations," Maharishi said.

Maharishi's message to America

In response to a question about current U.S. foreign policy, Maharishi cautioned America: "Power is in protecting life - not in crushing down life. You can destroy one country today, but you cannot save yourself from your wrongdoings tomorrow. 'As you sow, so shall you reap.' America has to return to peace - it has gone too far into the animal world." Maharishi then added, "My intention is not to criticize; my intention is to quietly repair what is wrong. We bring the light and the darkness disappears. But when a man is drowsy, you have to shake him many times to bring him to his senses."

"The press has the power to save the world"

Maharishi concluded with a call to the world press. "The press has the power to save the world," he said. "Raise your voice that there is a solution. Governments only have to take this knowledge of total Natural Law - the light of God - and they will become invincible. Invite governments to come with us and we will create Heaven on Earth. And we will do it on the level of science through one Global Country of World Peace - one umbrella of administration - so that everyone in the world lives together in affluence and peace."
