About the Project

The Foundation
The project to build a Maharishi Tower of Invincibility is an initiative of the Global Country of World Peace begun under Maharishi’s inspiration in 2008. A special Foundation, Stichting Maharishi Tower of Invincibility, has been established in the Netherlands to help support this global undertaking.

The Foundation will help with:

• Planning and construction in accordance with the Vastu Vidya principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda
• Exhibitions and presentations of Maharishi’s Science and Technology of Consciousness
• Operation and maintenance of property and
• Fundraising and finances

Tower Name
The Maharishi Tower of Invincibility will be built as a living memorial for all the knowledge that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi offered to everyone to create a better world. The name Invincibility describes the principle we can find everywhere in nature, that when a system maintains perfect inner coherence and integration, it is impermeable to disorderly outside influences. This principle can also apply to an individual and to a society. For example, if a country attains a high degree of coherence and integration in the collective consciousness of its people through the implementation of the TM and TM-Sidhi program, it will enjoy a high degree of prosperity, social well-being and cultural integrity. Also negativity and suffering in that country will decrease and that country will radiate positivity and harmony to the family of nations in the world—the country can become Invincible in a completely positive context. Maharishi’s Vedic Science provides each country with the practical technologies to reach this high degree of coherence in the collective consciousness thereby moving towards an ideal society.

Tower Purpose
The Tower of Invincibility is an exhibition space, built in the shape of a tower, in which the ideas and life’s work of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi are presented in every area of society: health, education, government, agriculture, economics, art and music, etc. and are displayed, illustrated and explained to a wide audience. This also includes the development and the licensing of technologies and intellectual property for exhibits for the Maharishi Tower. The collection of funds and resources will be used to achieve this purpose.

Tower Funds
The funds of the Foundation may consist from the following assets: contributions and other income, grants, donations, inheritances and legacies. All funds received by the Foundation will be used exclusively within the framework of its publicly state Articles of Association filed in The Netherlands in November, 2012.
