Dear Visitor,
Organizations for Peace was set up so organizations that have decided to become actively engaged in the only program proven to be able to create world peace could inform the public about the program and their commitment to helping create a peaceful world.
Since you may not have read the home page of For Peace, that program is Transcendental Meditation. Hundreds of studies have been done on the TM programs and the findings published in major scientific journals as well as various magazines. The research shows that the TM programs create a “peace effect.”
“Maharishi predicted in 1960 that if just one percent of the world’s population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique, there would be an end to war. In 1974, scientists noted a growing number of cities where one percent of the population had learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. They looked at crime statistics in these “one percent” cities, they found that when a city reached the one percent level there was a decrease in the crime rate. At the same time, matched control cities maintained an increase in crime rate—as did the United States as a whole. They named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect.” (From www.tm.org) More research can be found at http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/.
If you would like to talk to a member of one of the organizations that is participating in the program, click on the name of the organization in the list in the left column and you will be taken to a page where you will find contact information. The page may include a statement by one or more members of the organization about what he or she thinks about the program and a description of the benefits they received from the practice.
If you have any problems or questions, please contact the For Peace office.
