During the first session on the ninth day of the global Coronation ceremonies, following global Puja [Vedic ceremony of gratitude] to Guru Dev*, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Global Country of World Peace, said: 'Jai Guru Dev. Jai Guru Dev. Today's Puja to Guru Dev is our supreme achievement. What comes to us is enlivenment of pure self-referral Purushottama [the Supreme Purusha, the Self, Totality] in our awareness. Today's Puja is a Puja to invoke supreme authority, supreme competence in the administration of our world family.
'The process is lively, only it was necessary [to take] our awareness to that level where the Paraprakriti** is one with Purusha [infinite silence, the unbounded Self]. Today's Puja is the tenth day Puja for crowning the fresh group of Rajas. ''Crowning'' means the administrative intelligence of the forthcoming Rajas is self-contained and self-sufficient in order that their administration is as self-contained and profound and perfect as the administration of the ever-expanding universe under the spell of the eternal Constitution of the Universe, which governs all life in the ever-expanding universe in the ever-growing phase.
'Evolution is spontaneous and all over creation,' Maharishi said. 'That spontaneity of evolutionary process, we are opening our awareness to that through Puja to Guru Dev. Guru Dev Brahmanand Saraswati, Vijayante taram [all victory to Guru Dev].
'Embarking upon invoking that spontaneity of administration of the universe—where everything is perfect—we are opening our awareness to that perfect administration of the universe. This is the tenth day of invocation of coronation of the blessed Rajas. Every item of Puja today has been picking up [lifting] our awareness to that most tender level of authority where infinite silence and infinite dynamism, the two opposite essential values, are perfectly coherent with each other.
'It is eternal coherence on that level about which we have been knowing Dashamas twam asi—''Thou art the tenth,'' and that tenth is self-sustained, eternal state of balance, eternal state of balance, full glory of Brahm, Purushottama [Totality, the supreme Purusha], the silent, unseen administrator of the universe. Our Puja today has opened our awareness to that.
'We are absolutely blessed because today's Puja has opened the gate of spontaneous, perfect administration to our awareness. We are blessed. We are blessed today, Guru Dev.
'What is behind this? We can only say, our fortune that brought us to the feet of Guru Dev, where the total Natural Law is lively in the Shruti, Smriti, Purana*** value of knowledge and its infinite organizing power. This is the tenth value, the self-referral value of Purushottama—Raam Brahm paramarath rupa, [the transcendental Totality]—the gate of administration of Raja Raam, where infinite balance is between two completely opposite values—silence and dynamism—silence in the nature of pure knowledge of Totality, Unity; and inherent in it, infinite organizing power.
'Theoretically we had understood it from the phrase Dashamas twam asi [''Thou art the tenth''], from the phrase ''Narayanam, Padma Bhavam, Vasishtham'' [the first teachers in the Vedic Tradition of Masters]—all those things we have been repeating in every Puja of our life, ever since we found dedication to Guru Dev.
'A beautiful world is to dawn, a world with perfect harmony, positivity, health, affluence, invincibility to every nation, full enlightenment to every individual. And this is just by those few that, under the light of Guru Dev, we are training to be Rajas.
'What is the training of the Raja? The Raja is maintaining his awareness on the level of transcendental, self-referral consciousness, just this much. Transcendental, self-referral consciousness, and millions of people today having this experience for the last fifty years, [there is] a beautiful, beautiful new awakening of the destiny of all mankind.
'We are proud of that. We are proud to be a medium for that. Fortunately for the last few years we have an example of that in the silent administratorship of our dear Maharaja Nader Raam, the silent administrator of the Global Country of World Peace. The Global Country of World Peace is the heritage of that divine, most royal heritage of administration of the world, that the world has had in the history in the past. From time to time evidences are there in the Vedic Literature, the Constitution of the Universe, the Will of God.
'Throughout the ages, the voice was heard, ''Man is made in the image of God.'' [It is a] beautiful reality, and fortunate we are today to have our awareness open to that. We don't mind how many centuries have gone in darkness. Dark nights are always out [gone] with the first rise of the morning sun.
'Today is the day, with the light of Guru Dev's compassion, that we are in a position to embark upon the responsibility of training Purusha****. Raja means independent of everything. The Raja stands on his own. The Raja stands on his own. He does not have to depend on anyone for his administration to be perfect. He is himself completely competent to have his finger on that which is perfect harmony, Total Knowledge, and Total Organizing Power.
[This is] a wonderful, wonderful gift of life, Guru Dev. We are experiencing the onset of your total blessings in our consciousness. What we are today is just a reflection of your Divinity, of your Royalty, of your Constitution of the Universe. Guru Dev, give us success that we stand competent to fulfil the assignment that we are undertaking to do today on the tenth day of the Coronation ceremony—on the most blessed, most fortunate individuals on the level of their own existence, on the level of their own self-referral intelligence, the Purusha intelligence, the ruling authority over totality of diversity and Unity.
'[It was] a beautiful Puja today, and we want the seal of authority. For that we want to have the Vedic Pandits chant the tenth day of the Coronation ceremony through their traditional recitations, which are the authority from the Puja of Guru Dev—authority emanating and bringing a natural perfection for the administrator of life in our world family. It's a big variety, but [there is] a bigger variety in the universe, in the ever-expanding galactic universe, [and this] much bigger variety [is] always kept in the unified state.
'That unified state is Purusha, Purushottama, the ruler of the universe. Now the Purusha takes over. Purusha's rule is not a new thing to happen. It is going on, it is coming on for all the millennia of the universe and it will continue. It's a matter of our awareness. And today we found the light of Guru Dev, doing offering after offering, offering after offering, offering after offering. [Doing] Puja to Guru Dev, a few times like that, like that, our awareness gets completely sunk in that divine radiance, which is the authority over all the authorities in the universe, in the whole creation.
'This should be the time for us to have the blessing of the Vedic Pandits' traditional chanting on the tenth day, to bless the Coronation ceremony so that the Rajas come out with that confidence, with that radiant light which will spontaneously bring light to the administration of the universe in our world family.
'Dr Feldman [Dr Benjamin Feldman, Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World Peace], invite the Vedic Pandits to have their recitation for the tenth day of Coronation, and after that Maharaja Nader Raam will duplicate himself; he will bring coronation to the Rajas. He'll be duplicating the silent administrators who will have authority in their own Being. After the Vedic Pandits, we will have that coronation today. We're really blessed after the Puja to Guru Dev. Guru Dev, Guru Dev, we are in your light.
'Dr Feldman, invite the Pandits to do their job. Jai Guru Dev.'
* Guru Dev: Maharishi's Master, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Brahmanand Saraswati, Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Himalayas.
** Paraprakriti: The ninth Prakriti, unified value of the eight Prakritis; total Natural Law at the transcendental level of existence, the nature of Purusha, infinite silence.
*** Shruti, Smriti, Puran: Three of the 40 qualities of Veda, Total Knowledge, as defined in Maharishi's Vedic Science: Shruti, 'that which is heard', the Veda, Total Knowledge experienced within unmanifest consciousness, the Self of everyone; Smriti, 'memory', of the impulses of Veda within the Self, responsible for the emergence of creation; and Purana, the 'ancient and eternal' quality of consciousness, the Veda.
**** Purusha: The infinite silence of the Self, Totality. Also, several of the new Rajas participating in the Coronation are longtime members of the Maharishi Purusha Programme—a programme designed by Maharishi for men who wish to dedicate themselves fulltime to the most rapid pace of evolution possible and to creating world peace. This is accomplished through the extended group practice of the TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, and activity dedicated to the fulfilment of the many programmes of Maharishi's worldwide organizations.
'Purusha is a very ideal programme. It is a wonderful programme for the individual to harness the full creative potential of Natural Law and use it to enjoy bliss. World peace is a by-product of it. Heavenly life on earth is a by-product of it.' —Maharishi
