| Inauguration of the United Cyprus Initiative in the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia |
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
IT WOULD only take only one hundred Yogic Flyers permanently based in Cyprus to knock down the walls, symbolic and real, keeping Cypriots apart, meditation experts said yesterday.
“Just 100 experts, trained in the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, are sufficient to create a strong harmonious and friendly atmosphere for the whole island, said Theodore M. Pizanis, Director of the Cyprus Association for the Advancement of Science of Creative Intelligence.
“They will promote peace, confidence and co-operation for all Cypriots so that the longtime separation of north and south will soon come to an end. With our programme we follow the UNESCO constitution which states that ‘wars begin in the minds of men. It is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed’,” said Pizanis.
The initiative for a “United Cyprus” aiming at reunification of the island through transcendental meditation (TM) will be inaugurated this Saturday at the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia at 7pm.
TM was founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at the end of the fifties. He died last year aged 90.
“The goal is to try to develop a programme for that purpose and present our knowledge and findings from various trouble zones, which are quite unprecedented,” said Pizanis, noting that between 1,500 and 2,000 Cypriots have already practiced some form of TM across the island.
A number of international and local experts will speak on the mechanics of Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, described as “a time tested scientific knowledge proven to produce enormous benefits for the individual and society”. Attendees will also get to hear a performance of Maharishi Gandharva Veda music, considered the science of sounds and melodies, presented by Reshma Srivastava on sitar. In TM circles, Gandharva Veda is renowned for its ability to create harmonious influences in nature. “The sitar has a profound effect on reducing social tensions and creating a harmonious society,” said Pizanis.
He also believes that with a permanent group of 100 Yogic Flyers in Cyprus, societal stress, the root cause of all violent, disharmonious and hostile behaviour, will be dissolved. “A strong atmosphere of cordiality and harmony will become a living reality in the daily personal and societal life of all Cypriots,” he added.
George Psychis, one of the first TM-Sidhi practitioners in Cyprus visited the Maharishi University of Management (MUM) in the USA for three months this summer, during which he participated in a group programme with 2,000 Sidhas in the community.
“It was an amazing experience,” he said. Psychis said he recognised the effectiveness of so many people doing their meditation and advanced techniques together, to create a peaceful harmonious environment which enriches every culture.
Akis Christophides, a dental surgeon in Nicosia, pointed out that the Technology of the Unified Field is a technology of consciousness. “The effect of the technology lies in the collective consciousness of the whole population. Over fifty studies have shown that group practice of the technology causes quality of life indices to go up, negative trends in society like crime and accidents to go down and even terrorism and war to abate,” he said.
According to the Journal of Social Behaviour and Personality, there is a link between the Unified Field Technology and feelings of contentment and happiness among the population. In 1993, a two-month demonstration in Washington D.C. with up to 4,000 Yogic Flyers, experts in one of the advanced techniques of TM who are able to “hop” from the ground while sitting in the lotus position, showed that crime fell 23 per cent below the predicted level.
A study published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation argued that when large groups (about 7,000) assembled between 1983 and 1985, deaths due to terrorism decreased 72 per cent, international conflicts 32 per cent and violence was reduced.
To hear Reshma Srivastava prior to her solo concert type in “Maharishi Concert part 1” at www.youtube.com. Reshma performed in Cyprus in the past on the occasion of India’s 50th anniversary of Independence in 1998, before President Glafcos Clerides and other dignitaries.
For more information please contact Theodore Pizanis at 24622555. Access to Ledra Palace Hotel is limited and restricted to pre-registered guests only.
