1980 Maharishi's Year of Pure Knowledge, the Ved Maharishi celebrates the upsurge of pure knowledge in world consciousness, and reveals the nature of the Ved in terms of the spontaneous, sequential flow of the eternal, self-referral state of consiousness.
Maharishi brings to light his timeless commentary on Rig Ved, the Apaurusheya Bhashya, which explains the structure of the Ved and its extension, the universe, lively within every point of consciousness, the Self of everyone. > > 1979 > Maharishi's Year of > All Possibilities > > Maharishi clebrates the upsurge of > the organizing power of nature > in world consciousness. > > Maharishi begins his commentary on > Rig Ved, the Apaurusheya Bhashya. > > The First Annual World Peace Assembly of Governors > of the Age of Enlightenment is held in > the U.S.A. to create coherence in national and > world consciousness. > > > > > 1978 > > Maharishi's Year of > > Invincibility to Every Nation > > > > Realization of the Extended > > Maharishi Effect, Maharishi celebrates > > the rise of global coherence and > > proclaims invincibilty to > > every nation. > > > > > > > > 1977 > > > Maharishi's Year of Ideal Society > > > > > > Maharishi envisions the creation of an ideal society > > > through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, > > > and inaugurates the "Ideal Society Campaign in 108 countries". > > > Scientific research verified that this campaign decreased negative trends > > > and increased positive trends in society.
