...but if you want to attend the celebration, reserve soon! The Skye Lodge (a motel, really) only has 49 rooms. There is a link to Skye Lodge below Neil's letter. (Maybe the pundits can get visas more easily to enter Canada than the US??? We'll see.)
Global Country of World Peace Canadian Administrative Office Tel: 613-839-9393 Fax: 613-839-9394 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] September 29th, 2005 Dear Enlightened Canadians, It is a very great joy to invite you to the Inauguration of the ÎGlobal Parliament of World Peaceâ to be held on Vijaya Dashami Day, the auspicious Victory Day in the most ancient calendar--the Vedic Calendar-October 12th, 2005, on the land of the rising sun for North America, the Maharishi Island of World Peace, off the coast of Nova Scotia. The Inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament of World Peace will be held over a four day period from October 12th to October 16th, 2005 at the scenic Skye Lodge situated in the town of Port Hastings, Cape Breton, overlooking the Canso Causeway; a 2 1/2 hour drive from Halifax. The Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to be the permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace, is situated on the east coast of Nova Scotia near Skye Lodge. On October 12th we will hold a ceremony on the island to raise the flag of the Global Country of World Peace and break ground for the first building of the Global Parliament. This ceremony will include a special televised address from Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam, as well as Vedic recitation and an ancient ceremony of the indigenous Micmac Band to welcome the establishment of the Global Parliament of World Peace on their ancient lands. Following this ceremony there will be a royal banquet at Skye Lodge for everyone.. On the following days, October 13th through 16th, we will hold the inaugural sessions of the Global Parliament in the conference centre at Skye Lodge. These sessions will be presided over by Maharishi, Raja Raam and various leaders of the Global Country of World Peace in person or via video conferencing from Holland. They will include presentations of the philosophy and programs of the Global Parliament for creating world peace and the programs of the eight ministries of His Majesty Raja Raamsâ Global Peace Government- Education, Health, Law, Agriculture, Architecture and City Planning Science and Technology, Finance and Planning, Invincibility and World Peace. Sessions will also include presentations on the Canada Peace Government as well as the planned development of Maharishi Island of World Peace, which is to include a 200 room conference center for the Global Parliament, a University of World Peace campus for 200 students and facilities for 121 Vedic Pandits. These four days will also give us the opportunity to come together from all across Canada to create greater peace and harmony in national and world consciousness through our group practice of Maharishiâs Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs. Recently, Maharishi proclaimed that the Global Parliament of World Peace we are founding in Canada will be the ÎReal United Nationsâ. He said, ÎWhen the existing United Nations is struggling to reform itself, it is abundantly clear to the world that it has utterly failed in its mission to create and maintain world peaceâ. Therefore, Maharishi said, Îtime demands the creation of a new global body that has the knowledge to create world peace and can truly unite the world.â Maharishi also expressed his wish that, ÎCanada, a true peace-loving nation, should be the host country for a ãNew United Nations of World Peaceä that is founded by the peace-loving people of all nationsâ. He said, ÎIf the USA can host a United Nations, why not Canada? North America is one continent, but if one half is bent on destruction in the world, let the other half create real peaceâ. Maharishi then stated, ÎThe purpose of the Global Parliament of World Peace is to present the Constitution of the Universe to the world and the training programs for every country to have their politicians and administrators trained in this absolute system of administration, under the parental role of our global administration, so that suffering and problems belong to no one and peace, harmony, happiness, and fulfillment dominate the daily life of the people everywhereâ. We are extremely fortunate and blessed that Maharishi and His Majesty Raja Raam have chosen Canada to be a permanent seat of the Global Parliament of World Peace. Therefore, the enlightened citizens of Canada are being invited from across the country to come and participate in the historic founding of this new global organization. In addition, representatives from every nation in the world are being invited to attend, as well as parliamentarians and members of the diplomatic community in Ottawa. Let us all come together on October 12th, Victory Day on the Maharishi Island of World Peace to found the Global Parliament of World Peace in Canada and spend four days together planning for the peace and unity of the whole world in these first parliamentary sessions. Ideally please plan to arrive on the 11th evening and stay through till the 16th, although you may also attend for only two nights if that is all your schedule will allow.
