Maharishi Mahesh Yogi calls for Bush's removal

By JO ANN GESNER, Fairfield correspondent

FAIRFIELD - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental
Meditation movement, called for the removal of President Bush during a
weekend conference of his followers.

The Maharishi said during his keynote address Saturday that Bush's
bellicose posture has opened the road to the gates of hell.

Speaking from Holland, the Maharishi told conference attendees that
many unintelligent people believe in arms. He said Bush's ignorance of
science has led him to rashly go out and destroy the world. Maharishi told
300 people attending a Holistic Development Educators' Conference Friday that
crime, school violence and terrorism demonstrate that education has failed
society. Maharishi said on one side, the Unified Field of knowledge was
discovered by modern science. On the other side, it is excluded from daily
life and the discovery has lost its purpose. Maharishi said America should
realize it's highly dangerous that the scientific knowledge of the Unified
Field has been excluded from education. He said the individual is cosmic and
Americans should wake up to the knowledge that education is to unfold- this
means unfolding what is latent in the field of total knowledge (the Unified
Field).

Maharishi then addressed the terrorism affecting the US. Maharishi
said, "Americans should wake up, to the sense of that every country has a
responsibility for every other country. Don't have a second experience of
these days (of terrorism). Take a lesson from what you have done. You can
destroy and remaining in darkness you will have to reap the results. Life can
be lived in peace, happiness - give to the world. Make your administration
uplifting."

When asked about the great fear about bio-weapons such as anthrax,
Maharishi said any kind of destiny coming to America is as a result of
America doing the same thing everywhere.

"This is initiated by America, and as a result terrorism is coming.
More and more Americans are going in that direction, and more of those kind
of things will follow," said Maharishi.

Maharishi cautioned, "Don't go deeper into the mud. Killing is sin.
Don't repeat today, tomorrow. If you have money, promote life. Don't create
continuous scenes of Hiroshima or this country will be associated with
Hiroshima. You'll be brave by nourishing the world. You're not brave by
killing the world. It's not patriotism - it's blind patriotism."

Holistic education is a solution to the creation of a better
administration, which is the way of a civilized world, he said. There is a
saying in the Rig Veda that management should be organized from the roots of
intelligence.

"If you don't attend to the root, you don't have flowers or fruits,"
Maharishi said.

Maharishi said the solution lies in education unfolding the full
potential of the brain. This cosmic value within each individual is both in
physics and ingrained in the human physiology. He said MUM and the Maharishi
School is creating a good example.

Maharishi also told conference attendees that Yogic Flying is one
system that radiates harmony and will produce waves of coherence for the
world, preventing the negative tendencies that lead to terrorism and war. He
said the principle is to hold a bigger light that will radiate farther away.

"It's a simple message of caution, help and sympathy. The nation is
going the wrong way. The educators can change this and enjoy the sympathetic
support of all nations in the world."
