Dedication This site is dedicated to His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. 9,000 Maharishi Vedic Pandits at the Brahmasthan of India: We invite you to support this historic project to assemble 9,000 Maharishi Vedic Pandits trained in Vedic Technologies of Consciousness to create world peace If you would like to show your appreciation for all the work and dedication which has gone into this website, we invite you to click here for information on how to make a financial contribution — through the Brahmananda Saraswati Foundation — to the historic project of assembling 9000 Maharishi Vedic Pandits trained in Vedic Technologies of Consciousness to create world peace. Your contribution will help to quickly establish this group of 9000 peacekeepers at the Brahmasthan of India, the geographic center of India. More than 40 years of scientific research has established that a sufficiently large group of specially trained peacekeepers can raise the level of coherence and harmony in global collective consciousness and turn the tide towards peace for the whole world. Thanks to generous supporters from over 90 countries, the group in India has increased in recent years to about 2,000 Pandits. The goal is to raise annual support for 9,000 Vedic Pandits — the number needed to have a global effect — and to build an endowment fund that will secure the group permanently, creating world peace for all times. UNESCO has declared Vedic chanting as a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of humanity.
