24 January 2009

The Mahasamadhi of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was commemorated throughout the world in memory of Maharishi's fifty-three years of unprecedented achievements to bring Heaven on Earth. The first anniversary was 24 January 2009, according to the lunar Vedic Calendar.

Dr Girish Chandra Varma, National Director of the Global Country of World Peace in India, and Director General of the Global Capital of Raam Raj at the Brahma-Sthan (centre) of India, organized the traditional Vedic observances of Maharishi's Mahasamadhi.

Maharaja Adiraja Rajaraam, First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, led the delegates from Europe which included Raja Harris Kaplan, Raja of Invincible India; as well as other Rajas (Administrators) and Ministers.

The Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati Maharaj, blessed the assembly from the Kumbha Mela gathering in the area. Sanyasis, Swamis, Bramacharayas, and dignitaries along with millions from across India were attending the annual Mela—spiritual festival—taking place in Allahabad, at Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the holy rivers Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati. Dr Varma organized two days of special ceremonies to fulfil Maharishi's wishes for honouring the current Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, and 600 Sannyasis and other Vedic scholars. (read more)
