NEXT U.S. NATIONAL YAGYA PERFORMANCE JUNE 12 – 22
SIGN UP BY JUNE 7

“The effect of the Yagyas is amazing—many I have talked to have noticed the same quality of experience as I have since they started.
“Life flows so much more softly, Support of Nature is constant in small and big ways, barriers are lifting.
“I feel at peace with everything.” — C.M.

The Maharishi National Yagya program offers everyone the opportunity to participate in very large Yagyas at a level that is comfortable for them, whatever that may be.

Although the National Yagyas were designed by Maharishi to uplift entire nations, the supporters of these Yagyas benefit, as well.

We are receiving so many reports of beautiful experiences, and so many stories of powerful support of Nature from participation in these massive Yagyas. To enjoy some of these experiences, visit the Experiences page on our web site. CLICK HERE

Transforming the Nation
Since the inception of the National Yagya program, we have seen hopeful signs—even breakthroughs—in national consciousness. But America is still very much in the midst of a major transformation—together with all our world family.

Our nation needs the powerful, continuing support of Natural Law from these big Yagyas to carry us through the turbulence that surrounds us.

The next 11-day USA National Yagya will start on the evening of June 12.

The Sankalpa (intention) of the Yagya will be:
Coherence, peace, health, and prosperity
for the United States―and all of its people.

We deeply appreciate the generosity of all our dear donors to the USA National Yagyas and the Maharishi Vedic Pandits.

During this time of transformation for our nation, we hope that you will be as inspired as ever to join in.

Please CLICK NOW to offer your support.
You're Invited

Book review: an antidote to violence - evaluating the evidence

February 27, 2021
It can be argued that the present day is “more than a little exciting”. The world is facing a pandemic (covid-19). In many countries, there is considerable push-back against measures intended to fight the pandemic. There is severe fighting in several countries. The number of refugees is ever growing, and the willingness of ‘rich’ countries to accept and rescue them appears to be waning. Then there is global warming, which some believe to be a hoax. And to top it all off, a considerable part of the population believes that there is a “hidden political system” pulling the strings, manipulating the masses through fake news and what not. It seems that people are pushed so hard, that they revert to a ‘survival of the fittest’ mode: focus on their own individual need, rather than ‘the herd’. 

Approximately five years ago, I started Strategy Alliance together with my partner, Raymond Slot. We decided early on that we wanted to develop an approach to digital transformation that has a strong human component to it. Raymond had been meditating for decades, and I thought it would be a good idea for me to start practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM for short) as well. This daily routine of meditation (ideally 2x20 minutes per day) has brought me many good things. Not all benefits are equally clear and tangible, but an attempt to summarize the effects for me: I feel more energized, more focused, happy, and more connected to the people around me. It is this latter aspect that is relevant for this article.

A few weeks ago, Raymond gave me a copy of An antidote to violence. It quickly made it to the top if my reading pile. Spivack and Saunders main point – as I see it – can be summarized as follows: meditation (TM) can, especially when performed in groups, have a positive effect on society in general, and in reducing violence in particular. My “western brain” has a hard time accepting this conclusion. But, at the same time, the studies that are cited in the book make it hard to reject them too!
