A Day in the Life (of
a TM'er)
Part 2

Governor watched Bevan move his corpulent bulk to the
microphone on the raised dais just behind the flying area reserved exclusively 
for
the Rajas. The foam there is laced with gold dust and the sheets are a thousand
count real Egyptian cotton grown in India by Movement Indians. Rumors that the
Egyptian cotton farmers were being exploited by Girish and the Indian Movement
boys were…well, you know.

At one time the Rajas had insisted on all silk sheets to fly
on but these had proven too slippery and there had been quite a few collisions
before they were exchanged for the cotton variety. Rumors that the rajas had
cursed each other out using decidedly un-vedic language while holding their
bleeding heads was just that, rumor.

Bevan cleared his throat and began in that distinctive accent
of his. 

I have a few announcements before we begin the
morning's program. First of all, I want to put to rest the very scurrilous
rumors that have been circulating around the community for the last several
weeks that the Rajas, our highly regarded and sattvic Rajas have been eating
meat, pork meat no less and that it has been producing a good deal of
flatulence on the part of the Rajas and this pork meat flatulence odor is
ruining the programs of some of you here in the Mahaar-shee Patanjali Golden
Dome of Pure Knowledge.

Bevan paused and primped his mouth up in a very disapproving
way before he continued his exposition of new knowledge.

These are horrid rumors and there is not a shred of
truth in any of them. Let me remind you that all of our illustrious Rajas are
fully enlightened, and I mean fully enlightened. Don't waste my time after
program asking me what level of enlightenment I mean. When I say enlightened
rajas, I mean full enlightenment! That which is beyond Brahmin consciousness! If
we think of rajas, we must think of that which is beyond Brahmin consciousness
at all times!

Here Bevan paused and took out a couple of chocolate cookies
from an inner robe pocket and began to delicately devour them. Crumbs fell from
his mouth onto the expensive sheets beneath his rather large feet. A small form
darted out of the shadows behind Bevan and immediately made for those feet. As 
Bevan
munched, the small skinny boy surreptitiously scooped up cookie crumbs and 
hurriedly
stuffed them in his own mouth shooting questioning looks every now and again at
Bevan as if fearful of being corrected on his behavior. 

Those who could see this byplay nodded and smiled. They knew
it was Bevan's Indian punkawalla. All the Rajas had them. The little punkawalla
was doing his job cleaning up after Bevan and all was right with the world,
felt the Governor who smiled and nodded too.

Bevan looked down at the boy and spoke a quiet word. The
punkawalla leapt to his feet and sped back into an area that was curtained off
from the rest of the Dome with very expensive sheets of linen embroidered with
scenes from the Mahabharata. 


Moments later he emerged with a solid gold thermos
that everyone assumed was filled with warm water, but the punkawalla swerved
his nose away from the bottle when he opened it. The suggestions some had made
that perhaps Bevan kept some beverage a bit stronger in his Maharishi Golden
Thermos™ were crude, coarse and not to be believed. 
Bevan took a long draught from the bottle, smacked his lips,
waved the punka away and continued.

As I was saying, when we think of the rajas, we think
of the pinnacle of human evolution. We are enlightened! If air is issuing forth
from our hindquarters it is wind of the highest vibration! It is not in fact
flatulence but pure soma! Everyone knows that enlightened beings create only
soma in their digestive systems and the soma of the Rajas is of the very finest
quality! What you are smelling is the aroma of soma! You should feel honored to
get even one whiff of the soma aroma of a Raja even once in your
lifetime!

He paused to take another swig from the thermos.

It is more than the aroma of soma, it is in fact the
breath of the gods themselves! We all know from Mahaar-shee's Supreme Knowledge
that the Maharishi Vedic Gods™ feast on the soma produced by even a mere 
meditator.
And of course we know the rajas produce only the very finest soma with their 
ayurvedically
correct digestive systems and the Maharishi Vedic Gods™ gorge

Rajas who are willing to give to you even the breath of the Gods from their

A palpable shudder ripples through the Dome. Governor can't

[FairfieldLife] Day of Awakening Celebration - today in Washington DC

2005-11-12 Thread George DeForest

Today 11/12/05:

** Maharishi to Address Global Celebrations of
 the Day of Awakening of Permanent World Peace 

** New Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
to Be Established in Washington, DC To Create 
Coherent National Consciousness - the Basis of 
Ideal, Prevention-Oriented Administration



His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the 
Global Country of World Peace, will address the 
grand, global celebrations of the Day of Awakening 
of Permanent World Peace, to be held on Saturday, 
November 12-the Day of Awakening of Total Natural Law 
in the annual Vedic calendar.

Maharishi will speak live via satellite and Internet webcast 
from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
in Meru, Holland. The celebration will begin at 1:00 p.m. (ET).

During the festivities, His Highness Raja Dr. Dean Dodrill, 
the Raja of Washington, will announce the establishment 
of the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace 
in Washington, D.C. Raja Dean said the new Capital 
will provide government leaders with the knowledge and 
scientifically validated programs of Total Natural Law - 
the Constitution of the Universe - to create coherent 
collective consciousness, which is the basis of 
prevention-oriented, problem free administration 
and invincibility for the nation.

Washington, D.C. is the capital of the world, Raja Dean said. 
Now, with the establishment here of the Capital of the 
Global Country of World Peace, Washington will become 
a lighthouse of coherence and harmony for the whole world - 
a capital of peace - creating permanent peace in the family of nations.

The celebrations in the United States will be held 
at The Fairmont Hotel, 2401 M Street, NW, beginning at 
12 noon (ET) and will also include a gala luncheon banquet; 
the traditional Vedic recitation of the Anthem of the 
Global Country of World Peace by Vedic Pandits; 
and addresses by Dr. John Hagelin, President of 
the U.S. Peace Government and Minister of Science and 
Technology of the Global Country of World Peace; 
Dr. Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country 
of World Peace; and the Rajas of the seven domains 
of the Global Country of World Peace in the United States.

Maharishi's celebration of the Day of Awakening 
of Permanent World Peace follows by nearly four months 
Maharishi's proclamation of the dawn of Heaven on Earth - 
Sat Yuga - on July 21, 2005, Guru Purnima Day. 

Maharishi announced that his Global Peace Program, 
which includes establishing large numbers of 
peace-creating Vedic Pandits in India performing 
Vedic Yagyas and Grahashanti, as well as groups 
of peace-creating Yogic Flyers in every country, 
is creating coherent world consciousness - the 
basis of permanent world peace. 

World press reports since Maharishi launched his 
Global Peace Program in April 2005 clearly show 
a dramatic a turnaround in world events, including 
rapidly increasing harmony between former 
enemy nations and a growing rejection by people 
throughout the world of destructive government policies.

The time of destruction is over, Maharishi proclaimed. 
The light of Total Natural Law - the light of peace - is 
dawning for the whole world family.

1. Houston Hindu Student Council Celebrates
Kalyani Giri

HOUSTON, TEXAS, June 4, 2005: The Hindu Students Council (HSC, click  
http://hscnet.org for web site) hosted an occasion in celebration of  
the unifying force of Hinduism at the Shri Radha Krishna Temple Hall  
on June 3, 2005. The event, a HSC Awareness Dinner and Fundraiser,  
was held to create more awareness in the community of HSC's vision to  
give the world enlightened Hindu leaders in all walks of life. A  
first of its kind event in HSC history, it brought in a much-needed  
sum of $52,000 to financially aid HSC to realize goals and further  
its cause. Over 220 youth invested time and support to the event.  
Coordinated by the student body with guidance of their elders, the  
event drew nearly 600 gatherees, and enjoyed strong representation  
from over 30 temples and prominent organizations such as Art of  
Living Foundation, Arya Samaj of Greater Houston, Chinmaya Mission  
Houston, BAPS Shree Swaminarayan Mandir, Shri Meenakshi Temple  
Society, India Culture Center and Gujarathi Samaj of Houston, to name  
but a few. Also attending were guests from the Jewish, Christian,  
Sikh, and Muslim communities.


I believe that having HSC in my school is like having a mandir at  
home, said Hitesh Divecha, Pres. of HSC at the University of  
Houston, whose comment drew cheers of support from young attendees.  
Divecha's sister Payal told of her understanding of the concept of  
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. HSC made me realize that there exists a  
greater family than you're born with, the whole world is one family,  
she said reflectively. Delivering the keynote address was National  
President of HSC, all chapters, Sameer Rawal. An MBA student at the  
New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rawal deemed Texas the ideal  
state for Hindus in the USA. Hindus in other states look to Houston  
Hindus to set precedents. And they follow your example. This  
awareness dinner is taking place at the right state, he said.


He eloquently gave an overview of the vision of HSC. Founded in 1990,  
it is the largest student-run organization outside of India, with 77  
chapters spanning North America and Canada. HSC has garnered the  
attention of over 105,000 students worldwide who benefit from  
activities such as holy scripture study sessions, Diwali poojas, seva  
projects, seminars, retreats, and global conferences such as the 2003  
Global Dharma Conference held in New Jersey. Based on Vedic  
philosophy that encourages goodwill to all, and truth at all times,  
HSC provides a support system among Hindu students. HSC also  
spearheaded fundraising campaigns for the tsunami survivors. Through  
the Network of Hindu Minds (NetOHM), support from HSC continues even  
after a graduate joins the workforce. An affiliate of HSC, Community  
Action Network (CAN) works to prevent the defamation of Hinduism.

HYDERABAD, INDIA, June 6, 2005: An art book on Lord Venkateshwara was

Tirumala Tirupati the legends and beyond, the book attempts at  
tracing the legends behind the popularity of the shrine through a  
beautiful compilation of 250 photographs, illustrations and  
architectural drawings woven together with historic facts. It is an  
attempt to create an object of memorabilia that is both engaging in  
content and vivid in portrayal, say T. Sarita Reddy and Birad  
Yagnik. The book is priced at US$82 and available from Visual Quest  
India (P) Limited at [EMAIL PROTECTED]


3. East Meets West: Cosmology Then And Now
http://www.stnews.org/articles.php?article_id=608category=commentary

QUINCY, FRANCE, June 6, 2005: Eastern religious traditions can  
provide us with new cosmological insights, read this interesting  
article at source. Some ancient astronomers seemed to have arrived  
at the conclusion that the creation of the universe, its growth, its  
eventual decay and regeneration are eternal processes without a  
beginning and without an end, repeating in endless cycles. The Hindus  
named each half cycle a night or day of Brahma in symbolic terms.
