The Maharishi Peace Palace team at Maharishi Garden Village, Rendlesham, Suffolk, takes great pleasure in bringing you the latest news of progress in the development of this precious project for Great Britain, Europe, and the world.
Maharishi Peace Palace to offer accredited academic courses
|
|
 lans are progressing to offer educational courses for academic credit in collaboration with Maharishi University of Management as part of the future programme of the Maharishi Peace Palace at Maharishi Garden Village, Rendlesham. A wide range of courses will be available for all levels of interest from single lessons designed for “Knowledge for Fulfilment” to full degree programmes. Each course will have at its basis Maharishi’s principles of teaching Total Knowledge, connecting each field of study with the deepest level of one’s own Being, making learning more satisfying, more relevant, and more exciting than ever before.
The Maharishi Peace Palace at Rendlesham will be the perfect study centre to host these programmes. Whether you would like to attend a one-day course or are planning more in-depth study, the advantage of this teaching approach is that it creates a learning atmosphere of ease and enjoyment without stress or strain. The plan is that courses will lead to various levels of academic diplomas and degrees, accredited by Maharishi University of Management and eventually by a British university too. We look forward to letting you know more as plans unfold. Maharishi University of Management is developing and offering courses at the cutting edge of sustainability in areas such as business, agriculture, and construction. There is great demand for such courses in Britain but very little on offer. One of the courses we are looking into is a BSc in Sustainable Construction, which will include hands on practical experience in sustainable construction, such as in the building of Peace Palaces, Maharishi Sthapatya Veda homes, etc.
Courses to train new Teachers of Transcendental Meditation It is envisaged that the Peace Palace will become a major centre for training new Teachers of Transcendental Meditation in Europe, as there is a great need for more Teachers around the continent and there is currently no other perfect Vastu facility available for this purpose.

Good news about the foundations!
 ome very good news for the construction phase: There were previously some other buildings, demolished long ago, on the Peace Palace site and there had been some concern that the underground remains of these buildings could add to the expense of laying the foundations for the Peace Palace. Preliminary results from the consultant’s recent topological survey suggest this is not the case. This is excellent news since it will potentially reduce the cost of construction by about £50,000.
Acoustic engineer appointed In consultation with the Project Manager and architects we have appointed an acoustic engineer. As the Peace Palace will have a wide range of activities happening simultaneously, good soundproofing is of vital importance. |

Progress on the Peace Palace design The concept layout of the Peace Palace is almost completed and in the next issue of the newsletter we hope to be able to send you drawings.
Finances and the business plan
nce again we would like to thank everyone for their continued encouragement and financial support for this project. It is only your donations that have allowed us to make such good progress and that will ultimately enable us to build what will be the very first Maharishi Peace Palace in Europe, and the first in the world to utilise the full design concept developed so meticulously by Maharishi in his final years. Your donations will also make it possible for us to be less dependent on bank finance and loans. We would also like to thank those who have offered their advice about the Peace Palace business plan. This is now almost completed and we are about to start approaching banks.
