Grand new plans unfolding rapidly for construction of 'premier,
flagship university' at US Brahmasthan
by Global Good news staff writer

Global Country of World Peace
18 January 2007

The complete, detailed plans for the new Central University to be
built at the Brahmasthan (centre) of the US in Kansas�which 'welled
up like a tidal wave' in their entirety under the inspiration of His
Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (http://maharishi-
programmes.globalgoodnews.com/achievements) during the Global
Celebrations on 13 January 2007�have been rapidly unfolding in the
ensuing days.

This will be the 'premier, flagship university' of the United States,
in the words of His Excellency Dr John Hagelin, Minister of Science
and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace and President of
the US Peace Government, during Maharishi's Global Family Chat on 14
January.

The whole campus will be 'stately, grand, and beautiful', with first-
class accommodations and 'royal construction' in gleaming white
marble, according to the design by His Excellency Dr Eike Hartmann,
Minister of Architecture and City Planning of the Global Country.

There will be one grand, unified campus integrating the whole
country, comprising 50 smaller campuses for 200 students from each
state�a total of 10,000 students, all practising Maharishi's
Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme, including Yogic
Flying. The layout of the campus will mirror the country itself:
eastern states represented by campuses on the eastern side; western
states by campuses on the western side, etc.

Both the campus and the curriculum will attract the very top, 'first-
class' intelligentsia of the world at the undergraduate and graduate
levels, and will train the highest calibre of supreme leadership for
the nation through Maharishi's Vedic Science and its applied values
in the modern scientific disciplines. (A forthcoming Global Good
News/Excellence in Action article will describe the curriculum more
fully.)

Dr Hagelin explained that the university will be functioning by Guru
Purnima this July, and will be open to enrol students at the start of
the academic year in August or September.

Construction costs for each of the 50 campuses are estimated at
approximately US$10 million, with overall construction of the entire
campus about one-half billion US$.

Raja Wynne, Raja of Vedic America (the domain of the Global Country
encompassing the central plains states, including Kansas), said that
construction will be financed through a combination of 75 per cent
bank financing and 25 per cent�$150 million�shared among the 50
states.

A national initiative is underway, under the leadership of all the
Rajas of US domains, to accomplish the initial financing for the
whole project within the first 100 hours. Well-wishers of peace and
invincibility in each state are taking responsibility to raise $3
million for their state's campus at the Brahmasthan, through
investment in high-yield, tax-exempt bonds underwritten by the state
of Kansas; donations; and grants from educational foundations.

Dr Hagelin and Raja Wynne expressed their deepest gratitude to the
Governor of the State of Kansas, one of whose first official acts
after re-election was to sign the document authorizing sale of tax-
exempt bonds in Kansas, which had been previously organized for
building on the Brahmasthan land. Dr Hagelin praised her 'wonderful
cooperation and great vision' to recognize the benefits of this
project�not only for the prestige, revenue, and quality of education
in Kansas�but also for the peace and invincibility of the whole
country and world.

The 14 January Global Family Chat is being replayed every day this
week on the Maharishi Channel; visit the home page www.mou.org for
