Dear Friend,
It is a very great joy to inform you of the launch today - on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, the day of Lasting Achievements - of the project to create a new book to which all our Movement people will have the opportunity of contributing their personal and professional experiences with Maharishi. Maharishi gave enlightenment to millions of people all over the world, and many people had beautiful experiences of Maharishi’s Cosmic nature, his unbounded love, intelligence, and organizing power. Maharishi told us that a Saint's life can not be represented by instances on the surface value of happenings. The life of the Realized is all on the level of unity, on the level of bliss consciousness. We heard from Maharishi some instances of the life of his Master, Guru Dev, which helped us to understand the unbounded greatness of what it was that Maharishi gave his all to in total devotion for his whole life. Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam has warmly blessed the idea that we should in turn do the same for future generations. All of us who had some contact with Maharishi can together give those who come after us some feeling of what it was like to be in his presence; what was that Cosmic Intelligence like in action; how did it manifest in its infinite organizing power as the unbounded achievements that made Kali Yuga bow to Sat Yuga; how did pure, unbounded love move in the world as a wave of infinite, divine love, what was it like to be in the world with the living incarnation of Brahm. Many thousands of people had experiences with Maharishi that can be a lighted lamp for the hearts and minds of future generations. We will collect these experiences and put them in a book. As a rich beginning for this book, Prime Minister has suggested to include the tributes of the Rajas, Ministers and other leaders, which were compiled into a book at the request of the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math. These tributes are more formal in nature, and now all who wish to contribute their most precious experiences as a record of the heart and mind will also be invited to contribute. All those who were fortunate to have any personal experience with Maharishi are invited to write it down and send it for inclusion. For some it will be a challenge to choose from many great experiences, and others may feel their one experience is too humble and simple to be included. How to choose? There is really only one question to ask yourself: Does my story bring out Maharishi’s universal greatness? If you feel it does, please send it. If you have many great experiences they could all be sent, and the book will grow to multiple volumes. It may take many years to bring out all the experiences. The plan is to begin, and publish when a good-sized volume is ready. Guidelines for submissions: - Submissions could be any length, although about 2 pages would be good - Your text should be concise and to the point - Focus just on the points that bring out Maharishi's Cosmic status, including events that highlight important points of knowledge - It would be good to include any photos of the occasion if they are available - Also if there were other people who could verify the occasion please include their names - At the top of the first page please put your name and the country where the experience took place. It would be most ideal if you could send your text in both your mother tongue and English, so it can be published in both languages. Please send submissions to maharishi.b...@maharishi.net Wishing you great joy in bringing out the precious highlights of your Cosmic experience with our divine Master, Jai Guru Dev, Peter Swan Minister of Communication Global Country of World Peace
