BHUBANESWAR, February 7: The party may not emerge as a political force in all the 200 seats it is contesting, but the Hindustani sishyas of Maharshi Mahesh Yogi are all set to re-establish Vedic ideals in the land of the Vedas as they prepare themselves to face the ensuing general elections against all odds.``Conflict-free politics and a problem-free administration at all levels.'' The promises sound high, but you cannot ignore them when they come from his holiness, the Maharshi himself.
The sishyas have even promised to bring down the `real heaven' to earth under the guidance of Maharshi through their new unit -- Ajeya Bharat Party, a political outfit launched on January 9 all over the country.
The party may be a greenhorn in politics, but the spiritual guru of six million bhaktas is not. The Maharshi has been guiding his Natural Law Party in more than 64 countries from his headquarters at the Vedic University at Blodoroof in Holland. His party's candidate Dr John Hegelene has already fought thepresidential election against Bill Clinton.
``We have decided to fight it out politically here, as all governments denied to inculcate Vedic principles in their policies,'' said national spokesman of the party Dr Gyanendra Mahapatra.
He said the Maharshi saw through divya gyan, that the country was heading for political uncertainty, hence he decided to launch the outfit to cleanse politics of all dirt through a Vedic approach.
When members of Ajeya Bharat Party speak of purification, they have more than 500 research works to back their words. According to them, the Maharshi's approach includes perfection in life through Vedic curriculum and education.
``The country is in a deplorable state as its people are going against natural laws,'' lamented Mahanty, adding that no government would be bad if people become collectively conscious.
The government of a country is after all a mirror reflecting the collective national consciousness of that country,'' he quoted.
For the people who have been shoutingvideshi hatao, swadeshi lao, the Ajeya Bharat Party is all for Indianisation of India. The party is dead against any kind of foreign interference.
Its manifesto says: The party would make education of students in their mother tongue a compulsion up to university level and stop teaching of English.
The party would reimplement job oriented education, Kautilya's Arthashastra and a foreign policy where the whole world is like one family, on the lines of Vasudeva Kutumbakam. For a party preaching with a difference, success and failure are like two sides of the same coin. The party, however, will try its best to make India the land of perfection, divinity and the Vedas.
