Maharishi To Establish 3,000 Organic Farms Worldwide
2-11-2

Ground-breaking for eight organic farms in North America launched a
global undertaking by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to establish 3,000 organic
farms worldwide that will fund his program to reduce global poverty,
promote a balanced world economy, and create world peace.

Maharishi's plan calls for a "Peace Palace" and an organic farm of
1,000
to 4,000 hectares in the vicinity of each of the world's largest 3,000
cities. Farming practices will be based on Maharishi Vedic Organic
Agriculture, which incorporates the most up-to-date organic farming
techniques, along with the use of traditional Vedic agricultural
technologies, to produce healthy food.

Maharishi will answer questions on the role of his Vedic organic
agricultural project in creating world peace during global news
conferences on Wednesday, November 6, and Thursday, November 7, which
will be broadcast live via satellite, Internet webcast, and telephone
conference call (see details below).

Demand will be great

With much of the farmland in developed nations poisoned by chemical
agriculture and genetic engineering, Maharishi says that global demand
will be great for Vedic organic food. "We will produce food that is
nectar, not poison. People who eat this food will be healthier and
happier-they will think better, speak better, behave better, and be a
better citizen of the nation."

Targeting 40 poor nations

Maharishi's plan includes a special global development currency and a
Poverty Removal Program for the world's 40 poorest nations. "We are
inviting governments to use the Raam, our global development currency,
as a 'catalyst currency' to initiate agricultural and other
development
projects around the world. and, in particular, in 40 poor countries,"
says His Excellency Dr. Benjamin Feldman, Minister of Finance of the
Global Country of World Peace.

"There are one billion hectares of unused land with agricultural
potential in these 40 poor countries," Dr. Feldman says. "The Raam can
be used as start-up capital to establish export-oriented organic farms
and to build new houses, roads, schools, and health clinics in these
countries. After a few successful crop seasons, and with the export of
the produce, the Raam can be exchanged for any other hard currency-and
even withdrawn from circulation." Dr. Feldman says national farmers'
associations are also invited to participate in the initiative. Dr.
Feldman says the Raam is now legally circulating in Holland and is
being
used like the Euro by Dutch residents-and it will soon be circulating
throughout the European Union and in all continents. The Raam is also
circulating as the currency of Maharishi Vedic City in Iowa, USA,
along
with the U.S. dollar, and Raam-based bonds are being offered in 35
U.S.
states.

Global Country of World Peace

The Global Country of World Peace was established two years ago by
Maharishi as "a country without borders for peace-loving people
everywhere." It provides governments with the knowledge and
technologies
of Total Natural Law to promote prevention-oriented, problem-free
administration. A Global Chamber of Commerce has been established to
provide a world market for the organic products. "The sale of Vedic
organic food on the international market will bring an immediate
infusion of foreign currency into the poorer countries, which will
stimulate local economies and lift people out of poverty," Dr. Feldman
says.

3,000 Peace Palaces in 3,000 Cities

Dr. Feldman says that central to Maharishi's program to create world
peace is the construction of 3,000 Peace Palaces in the world's
largest
3,000 cities. Each Peace Palace will be the home for a permanent group
of 100 to 200 experts in Maharishi's Vedic technologies of
consciousness, including Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying.
Extensive published research shows that the peace-promoting influence
of
these groups reduces the acute social stress that fuels conflict and
war, and promotes coherence and harmony in the surrounding society.
"During their practice, these groups of Yogic Flyers will enliven the
deepest level of Nature's functioning-the Unified Field of Natural
Law-which administers the infinite diversity of the universe with
perfect order," Dr. Feldman says. "They will radiate indomitable
coherence in the collective consciousness, reducing crime, sickness,
and
other negative trends, and promoting the health and well-being of
everyone in the city."

Founders of the Peace Palace to enjoy profit year after year

Dr. Feldman says that profits from the organic farms will be used to
fund the construction of the Peace Palaces and maintain the groups of
Yogic Flyers. The initial building costs for each Peace Palace will be
covered by local "Founders of the Peace Palace"-investors who want to
create peace and who also want a return on their investment. "This is
a
sound financial investment. The organic agricultural production will
provide sufficient yield for the Founders of the Peace Palace to
recover
their initial expenditures-and earn a good annual return on their
investment in peace."

A source of health and happiness

Maharishi's plan is timely and urgently needed, Dr. Feldman says. "By
now, everyone knows that talking about peace will never create peace.
We
have to actually produce the effect of peace in the world-and this
will
come from groups of Yogic Flyers. These Peace Palaces and Vedic
organic
farms will be a source of affluence and peace, health and happiness
for
everyone in the world."
