Establishing a Maharishi Peace Palace for Des Moines

Peace Palaces now being built in 100 U.S. cities and 3000 cities worldwide will offer the full range of Maharishi Vedic Science^SM programs including courses in the Transcendental Meditation^® program as well as other related Consciousness-Based^SM programs in all fields, i.e., in health care to prevent illness and promote health; in education to promote the total brain functioning and the full creative potential of the student; and in crime prevention to neutralize the social stress that drives violence in the city and nation.

Preventing Crime, Terrorism, and Negative Trends in the World

Every generation of life on earth throughout the ages has been exposed to crime, violence, and other negative behavior. And although every generation has tried to stop crime by punishing the criminals, the tradition of crime and criminals has not yet come to an end.

The reason why none of the conventional approaches to creating peace work is because they do not address the underlying cause of conflict, of violence, of terrorism, of war—namely, the build-up of acute social tensions and societal stress. Today, most diseases in the individual, such as heart disease and stroke, are known by science to be caused or complicated by stress. In the same way, many social problems, such as crime and violence, are now known by science to be fuelled by the accumulation of acute social stress. And in the same way that a disease in an individual will never be cured, and good health will never be maintained, unless the stress is eliminated, so, too, violence in society will never be stopped, and peace will never be lasting, unless the acute social stress is eliminated.

Eliminating the Underlying Cause of Negative Trends

Maharishi’s program to create world peace works by eliminating this deeply rooted social stress—in particular, the acute ethnic and religious tensions that fuel the dangerous wave of global terrorism today. We believe that this same approach will help our city to become free from the societal tension that underlies so much of our local stress-related social problems.

Enlivening the Deepest Level of Nature’s Functioning

Maharishi’s program offers Vedic technologies of consciousness to enliven the deepest level of Nature’s functioning, known as the Unified Field of Natural Law in the language of modern science—or the Will of God in the language of religion. The Unified Field underlies and governs the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding universe. It is the field of PEACE in Nature. Only by enlivening this deepest field of peace in Nature can harmony ever be brought into the more expressed fields of existence—into the life of the individual and the administration of society.

Hundreds of scientific research studies conducted at 200 leading independent universities and research institutes in 33 countries have validated the effectiveness of Maharishi’s technology for creating peace in the individual and peace in society as a whole.

The research shows that as little as one percent of a population practicing the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation^SM technique reduces crime and violence in society. More significantly, research has has also shown that as little as the square root of one percent of the population of a country practicing the more advanced TM-Sidhi^® program, including Yogic Flying, together in a group is enough to produce this powerful, peaceful effect for the nation as a whole.

It’s clear that more intelligent and creative preventive measures must be used in our scientific age to eradicate terrorism and to secure peace in the world on a permanent basis. More than 40 studies and 52 demonstration projects have shown that through the group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi^® programs, it is possible to neutralize negative influences in the consciousness of any city and country, and in world consciousness as a whole. Groups of Peace-Creating Experts will generate an influence of peace for the community and the world.

Each Peace Palace will establish a group of 200 Peace-Creating Experts, who will create an orderly influence in the whole atmosphere of the city. This based on the abundant experience and scientific research verifying that the Transcendental Meditation-Sidhi Program^SM practiced by a group of about 200 Peace-Creating Experts will create a powerful influence of positivity and harmony for the city.

The architectural design of each Peace Palace is based on the ancient science of Vedic architecture—which is architecture in harmony with Natural Law. The very shape, size and orientation and the non-toxic building materials of the Peace Palace will, itself, help to promote the influence of calm and peace in our city and the world.

We invite you to join us in establishing this lighthouse of Peace in our community. Please contact us if you would like to participate in any aspect of the development of this beautiful project for Des Moines.
