KING: We're back with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation, the author of "Science of Being and Art of Living," which explains Transcendental Meditation. http://www.tm.org That book, released many years ago, has
been newly revised and updated.

How do you deal personally with sadness. George Harrison just died. I know he was a friend of yours. How do you deal when someone you love or like is gone?

MAHARISHI: It's human nature to like those whom you like. And when they go it's natural to be sad about them, but it is inevitable. It's inevitable.

When I found Transcendental Meditation had done good for so many, so many, that now I'm thinking of, for the last two, three years, I'm thinking of nations as a whole. I want to make the destiny of every nation to be free from problems, to be free from suffering, to be free from sin.

I'm establishing a government in the world which will disallow the sprouting of negativity in any country, in any country.

Governments are a failure today. Absolutely every government is a failure, because problems exist everywhere and every government is sovereign. The word "sovereign" is a misnomer. Their sovereignty lies in - not able to give
a problem-free administration to the people.

I'm establishing a problem-free administration on the basis of the Constitution of the Universe. The Constitution of the Universe is total natural law. Natural law, we say from the field of science. Will of God, we say from the field of religion. It's the same thing. Natural law administers the
infinite diversity of the universe. And I'm going to establish the government on the basis of this Cosmic Constitution of the Universe. Cosmic Constitution is a stable constitution.

Man-made constitution requires change every four years, five years. Election of the people. The whole thing is a fraudulent thing.

Administration is a matter of expert intelligence.

KING: But how...

MAHARISHI: It shouldn't be exposed to voters on the street.

KING: How do you change a system of governments and nations and people who are opposed to one another and presidents and kings and emperors and dictators? How do you change that?

MAHARISHI: I'll be establishing groups of people practicing Yogic Flying, and Vedic pundits performing the yagyas, which will eliminate the negative influence on life on earth.

This is how my plan is to improve the quality of life on the world by minimizing the negative influences from the sun, moon, stars, and from everywhere. So those groups we'll be establishing - we'll be establishing groups in every country.

I have already this other organization teaching TM Transcendental Meditation] in all the countries, and all the governments like it because it helps a better quality of life. Only we have to concentrate now, with the help of
each government, because nobody, no government wants chaos and problems and difficulties and crime in the country. That is a very good thing.

But because every government is governed by man-made constitutions, and man-made constitutions are full of human weaknesses and human failings, that is why I'm adopting the Constitution of the Universe, which is the will of God,
high above everything. Merciful nature of God, total value of natural law, which is profusely narrated and detailed in the Vedic literature, ancient Vedic literature, with all this total knowledge of natural law and the programs to eliminate any difficulty or problem that may be coming from anywhere. We don't allow the problems. We create that shield, protect
ourselves. That is the Vedic way of life.

KING: Do you believe in perfection?

MAHARISHI: I'm bringing perfection in life. It's not a matter of belief. I have the positive program and the concrete program to create perfection in life.

I want to create every government to be free from military. Military is a defeatist feature of a government. Government is not able to protect the nation, and therefore they engage the people, give them food that you will die for other people. The whole thing is absurd and inhuman.

I want to create a global government, a global government. I have created a country of global - Global Country of World Peace, where no one would harm anyone, where no one would do any wrong to anyone. The government will not
need a military to protect itself because the principle is that any military is a big sinner. And the sin must come to every - to the whole population.

KING: We'll take a break and come right back. The Maharishi's movement has its own political party called the Natural Law Party. It's in many, many countries. We'll be right back.

  • mr. pappu,u go ahead,work hard and if u find real happiness then ask urself,it's easy to criticise others rather thn critising urself,so my dear take pappu just take it easy it easy .

  • what a load of crap.....work hard and be good to people ...and you will always be happy

  • Its very expensive to run a charity

    Trust me,maybe being angry was not the way to go,maybe the answers you were looing for he couldnt give you were geniune!you need an accountant to answer the questions you asked!

    And to me you dont have an exceptional case over another would that not seem unjust?

    Remember a charity has to raise enough for the years ahead to survive,its not cheap!

    Maybe you should look into the cost of a small charity before you accuse this of being a cult?

    you may learn a thing

  • My partner work for a charity consisting of 90 people,that costs more than 2 million a year to run,plus raise enough for the following year ahead to stay functioning,plus staf costs accountants,advertising travel,admin,traveling!

    trust me its an expensive game,to give a reduction to someone whos depressed over someone else with another condition would seem unjust would it not,how can you differ?

    the questions you asked needed an accountant,maybve he wasnt qualified to answer!Its very complicated

  • Rubbish

  • Now this video along with all of Maharishi's videos should be in the Most Viewed section of youtube, not the plethora of dumb downed material we see all over the media.

  • Thank you! It's great that you have text of videos on the right!

  • This is such priceless wisdom that every human should hear.

    Send it your friends :P

  • i've thought alot about this type of stuff like this last night and could'nt sleep...

    now i hear it from him...and i'm like woooooow!

  • I think God created the natural world according to His Will. If God wills something is it possible for any to block the will of the Almighty? If not then His Wish is Law. And the Law that governs the natural creation is Natural Law.

    Each person can only understand the Will of God from his own perspective. The scientist would see the Divine Order of creation, the Will of God, in terms of the Laws that God has established for that creation to function. Nothing could be closer to the Truth.
