A new approach is needed

Lasting peace cannot be legislated or negotiated. The Constitution of UNESCO states, “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace will be constructed.” However, without the means to unfold the full potential of the human mind, we succumb to the same age-old problems. Stress, scarcity, fear, and narrow thinking inevitably results in conflict at the community, country, and global levels.

To meet that challenge, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi established the Global Country of World Peace* (GCWP) in 2000. GCWP applies time-tested and scientifically proven technologies to develop human consciousness – the prerequisite to achieving lasting world peace.

The Consciousness-Based*
path to peace

World peace begins with individual inner peace. Over 480 peer-reviewed and published scientific studies conducted by researchers at 120 institutions show that the Transcendental Meditation* technique provides important benefits for mental and physical health, reduces stress, and improves productivity, academic performance, resilience and mental well-being.

More than 50 studies since 1988 have demonstrated the efficacy of group practice of TM* and the advanced TM-Sidhi program to decrease the impact of war, reduce national stress, and improve the quality of life.
