Tony Nader MD, PhDHow can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime? Dr. Tony Nader and scientists David Orme-Johnson and Ken Cavanaugh discuss the findings that every individual in the population contributes to national consciousness and, reciprocally, national consciousness influences everyone. The research is focused on the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and shows how large groups of people practicing this technique have a large positive effect on society, with significant decreases in the national homicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, drug-related death rate, violent crime rate, infant mortality rate, and fatality rate for other accidents. Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world. Stay tuned for Part 3!

He integrated the Transcendental Meditation technique into his programs after encountering it during a visit to the United States and recognizing its potential to help abandoned and traumatized children.
As drug cartel influence waned and his initiatives gained recognition, the number of shelters he oversaw through Fundacion Hogares Claret grew to 52 by 2011, serving over 3,500 children across Colombia and Latin America.

The meeting focused on the upcoming 10,000 for World Peace event hosted this Dec. 2023. Dr. Nader explains that this is not just a gathering of like-minded individuals; it is a bold and ambitious experiment. Extensive scientific research has shown that when a large enough group practices the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program together, it creates a profound shift in global consciousness as evidenced by reduced crime, violence, political and social uncertainty, and an increase in positive trends. Over twenty scientific studies have verified this effect and during this event, scientists will record the effects of this unprecedented large group on world trends. Forty years ago, in December 1983, a similar event was held with over 7,000 participants in the Taste of Utopia Assembly at Maharishi International University in USA, which produced a measurable effect of positivity and harmony in world consciousness at that time. Not only will this assembly create an immediate impact on world events, but it will lay the foundation for establishing a permanent group of 10,000 for lasting world peace. This 10,000 for World Peace event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who participate. Dr. Nader explains how everyones presence is vital in making it a resounding success. The time is now, and the power lies within each of us. Join us in this historic journey towards a world that is truly unified. Together, we will create a society that thrives in peace, prosperity and dignity for all.
