Dear National Leader,
It is a great joy to announce that Maharishi World Peace Parliaments will
be commencing this Guru Purnimah, July 2nd, 2004 throughout the world.
Every week there will be an opportunity for a new group to join the parliament
in your country and enjoy the benefit.
In every country we will build a Parliament Hall where each group of 108
(or 54) Members of the Maharishi World Peace Parliament will convene for
a week twice a year. But even before we build this Parliament Hall, the
Maharishi World Peace Parliament can be held in an existing hall or hotel,
so that a taste of the benefit and advantages of our knowledge can begin
to be experienced now without waiting. International will undertake to
meet the expenses of publicity and hall for now, and with the response
of the people it should become self-sufficient.
During each one-week session of the Maharishi World Peace Parliament (held
from Saturday to Friday) there will be a daily connection by videoconference
with the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Holland (see
schedule of the connections below), and also there will be opportunities
for the Members of Parliament to enjoy intercontinental banquets via videoconference
with their fellow parliamentarians from different countries (see schedule
of the connections below).
In order for you to have the daily connection via videoconference, you
will receive a videoconferencing machine from the Global Country of World
Peace. Delivery to your address will probably take place next week. You
will need to connect your videoconference unit to a television –
basically any television will work, but we are also arranging for a state-of-the-art
42” plasma screen to be delivered to you for ideal viewing.
You will also need to arrange to have a broadband Internet connection,
ideally of the speed of 384 kb/sec (both upstream and downstream) and
having a fixed IP address. The quality of the videoconference is expected
to be better if you have this broadband service from MCI WorldCom. If
broadband service from MCI WorldCom is not available in your area, it
is preferable to get broadband service from another large international
provider, rather than a local provider.
This whole program will be inaugurated on the most auspicious day of the
year, the day of Guru Dev, the day of the Vedic Tradition of Vedic masters,
Guru Purnimah, July 2nd, 2004; and the first Maharishi World Peace Parliaments
will convene everywhere from July 3rd to 10th.
After one week a new group will again convene for a week in your country.
This routine will continue for 26 weeks—with a new group convening
every week. In the 27th week the first group will come again so that every
Member of Parliament enjoys physiological purification at least twice
a year, and develops the knowledge of perfect administration—enjoys
the concept of globalization to give a lead to his people in his area
of influence for more successful and problem-free life.
The connections by videoconferencing with Holland will be held during
the Maharishi World Peace Parliaments in the following schedule:
Holland (Summer Time) Time Zones connected
At 1:00 PM 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6
At 8:00 PM 7, 8, 9,10,11, 12 & 1
There are two ways of participating in the Maharishi World Peace Parliament:
By becoming a Member, and by becoming an Honourable Guest. Please find
enclosed a letter you can send to the thinkers and important leaders of
society in your country. It will be good to send them the letter and go
and meet them.
As you will see in that letter, it is necessary to register and use a
credit card in order to watch the sessions as a Member of the Maharishi
World Peace Parliament or as an Honourable Guest of the Maharishi World
Peace Parliament, but the daily sessions will be open on the internet
at:
www.MaharishiWorldPeaceParliament.org
for a few days starting July 2nd to allow you some time to receive your
videoconferencing machine and to allow some time for the Members and Guests
to register.
With cordial greetings,
Dr. Benjamin Feldman
Minister of Finance and Planning
Global Country of World Peace |
