This is the start of a new theme of action, an ideal path of performance following the principle of least action, which upholds all activity in nature- Maharishi's principle of do less and accomplish more through the help of natural law. This is to give a new theme to life on earth, progressive life without stress, strain, and fatigue, through alliance with the total potential of natural law. > > > > > > > > 1976 (continued) > > Maharishi's Year of Government > > Maharishi inaugurates the World Government > > Of the Age of Enlightenment, a non-political, > > Non-religious global organization, with sovereignty > > In the domain of consciousness, authority in the invincible power > > Of Natural Law, and activity in purifying world > > Consciousness with the participation of the people of over > > 120 countries and with 1,200 Maharishi Capitals of the Age of Enlightenment > > around the world. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 1975 > > > > Maharishi's Year of the > > > > Dawn of the Age of Enlightenment > > > > > > > > With the discovery of the "Maharishi Effect" > > > > the profound nature of Maharishi's Creative > > > > Intelligence is further validated.
