Devastating war in Palestine: Embracing invincible defense technology for lasting peace

By Dr. David Leffler 

In the midst of the devastating toll of the Israel/Gaza war, NPR journalist Carrie Kahn recently posed a poignant question to Israeli military officer Major Doron Spielman, reflecting the collective yearning for an alternative to escalating cycles of violence. Spielman's response, “If anyone has a better idea, I think we would love to hear it,” echoes the sentiments of many who have grown weary of the human cost of conflicts. Extensive peer-reviewed research and field-tests indicate that Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) is a transformative approach that can prevent and swiftly end conflicts.
IDT derives its name from its ambitious goal of creating a defense system that is impervious to external threats. Its approach is based on the principle of reducing the high collective societal stress that is thought to be responsible for social problems such as war, terrorism and crime. This widespread reduction of collective stress is accomplished via the non-religious Transcendental Meditation (TM) and its advanced practices. IDT aims to establish a state of invincibility not through traditional military might but through the creation of a harmonious and peaceful collective consciousness throughout society. In this way IDT prevents enemies from arising. And if there are no enemies to fight, the nation becomes invincible – victory before war.
This novel approach involves deploying a significant number of trained individuals practicing TM, and in particular the more powerful advanced TM-Sidhi program, to create a positive field effect that ripples through society, reducing tension and preventing conflicts at their source. IDT represents a paradigm shift in defense strategies, emphasizing the power of inner peace and coherence as a means to ensure the security and well-being of nations.
IDT is not yet a panacea, but it offers a humane alternative as to how nations approach their security concerns. Respected scientists and retired senior military leaders at the Center for Advanced Military Science (CAMS), leading proponents of IDT, advocate that militaries utilize the profound power of IDT to create coherent collective consciousness, thereby swiftly bringing about societal harmony and peace. They assert that by deploying a sufficiently large group of trained individuals regularly practicing the advanced TM-Sidhi program in synchrony, it is possible to create a field effect that prevents conflict by defusing tensions at their source and thereby neutralizing collective societal stress.
Peer-reviewed research in the field of consciousness-based defense supports the contention that IDT has the potential to prevent social problems. Studies published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, Social Indicators Research, Medicina, Journal of Social Behavior and Personality, and World Journal of Social Science have revealed statistically significant reductions in war-related fatalities, improved economic conditions, heightened quality of life, and decreased levels of crime, violence, accidents, drug-overdose deaths and illness. Extrapolating this principle to a global scale, the implementation of IDT could create a profound shift in collective consciousness, vastly reducing the likelihood of conflicts.
A study published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation supports this contention. Based on global data from the Rand Corporation, when the size of large TM groups exceeded the threshold predicted to give rise to a measurable effect, annual deaths due to worldwide terrorism decreased 72%, international conflict decreased 32%, and violence was reduced in other nations without intrusion by other governments.
While the Israel/Gaza war has already taken a devastating toll, IDT can serve as a powerful tool for swift resolution. The approach involves establishing coherence and harmony in the collective consciousness, which, in turn, influences the behavior of individuals and groups involved in the conflict. By fostering an environment of understanding and reducing hostilities, IDT can expedite the peace process.
IDT's effectiveness is based on the "Maharishi Effect," which has been validated in multiple real-world situations. When a sufficiently large group practices TM and its advanced technologies of consciousness together, crime rates decrease and societal well-being improves. Applying this concept to the Israel/Gaza conflict, a dedicated group of individuals practicing IDT could create a positive influence in collective consciousness, facilitating negotiations and hastening the end of hostilities.
Critics may question the feasibility and practicality of implementing IDT on a large scale. But findings published extensively in reputable journals underscore the potential for IDT to be a realistic and impactful strategy for conflict resolution. In many countries its deployment would cost less that a modern fighter jet.
The deployment of IDT presents a compelling addition to the traditional methods of defense. The CAMS vision of harnessing the power of collective consciousness via deployment of IDT offers a path towards preventing conflicts and resolving existing ones more rapidly. While skeptics may raise doubts, the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of IDT is a beacon of hope in a world yearning for lasting peace. It is time for nations such as Israel to seriously consider this better idea. The transformative potential of IDT offers all nations a future where conflicts are minimized and humanity quickly moves towards a more harmonious coexistence.

A comrade in culture and controversy: Yao Wenyuan’s revolutionary legacy

By Harsh Thakor*  This year marks two important anniversaries in Chinese revolutionary history—the 20th death anniversary of Yao Wenyuan, and the 50th anniversary of his seminal essay "On the Social Basis of the Lin Biao Anti-Party Clique". These milestones invite reflection on the man whose pen ignited the first sparks of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and whose sharp ideological interventions left an indelible imprint on the political and cultural landscape of socialist China.

Farewell to Robin Smith, England’s Lionhearted Warrior Against Pace

By Harsh Thakor*  Robin Smith, who has died at the age of 62, was among the most adept and convincing players of fast bowling during an era when English cricket was in decline and pace bowling was at its most lethal. Unwavering against the tormenting West Indies pace attack or the relentless Australians, Smith epitomised courage and stroke-making prowess. His trademark shot, an immensely powerful square cut, made him a scourge of opponents. Wearing a blue England helmet without a visor or grille, he relished pulling, hooking and cutting the quicks.

Latur’s quiet rebel: Dr Suryanarayan Ransubhe and his war on Manuvad

By Ravi Ranjan*  In an India still fractured by caste, religion, and language, where narrow loyalties repeatedly threaten to tear the nation apart, Rammanohar Lohia once observed that the true leader of the bahujans is one under whose banner even non-bahujans feel proud to march. The remark applies far beyond politics. In the literary-cultural and social spheres as well, only a person armed with unflinching historical consciousness and the moral courage to refuse every form of personality worship—including worship of oneself—can hope to touch the weak pulse of the age and speak its bitter truths without fear or favour. 

Differences in 2002 and 2025 SIR revision procedures spark alarm in Gujarat

By A Representative   Civil rights groups and electoral reform activists have raised serious concerns over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Gujarat and 11 other states, alleging that the newly enforced requirements could lead to large-scale deletion of legitimate voters, particularly those unable to furnish documentation linking them to the 2002 electoral list.

The Vande Mataram debate and the politics of manufactured controversy

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*  The recent Vande Mataram debate in Parliament was never meant to foster genuine dialogue. Each political party spoke past the other, addressing its own constituency, ensuring that clips went viral rather than contributing to meaningful deliberation. The objective was clear: to construct a Hindutva narrative ahead of the Bengal elections. Predictably, the Lok Sabha will likely expunge the opposition’s “controversial” remarks while retaining blatant inaccuracies voiced by ministers and ruling-party members. The BJP has mastered the art of inserting distortions into parliamentary records to provide them with a veneer of historical legitimacy.

Urgent need to study cause of large number of natural deaths in Gulf countries

By Venkatesh Nayak* According to data tabled in Parliament in April 2018, there are 87.76 lakh (8.77 million) Indians in six Gulf countries, namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). While replying to an Unstarred Question (#6091) raised in the Lok Sabha, the Union Minister of State for External Affairs said, during the first half of this financial year alone (between April-September 2018), blue-collared Indian workers in these countries had remitted USD 33.47 Billion back home. Not much is known about the human cost of such earnings which swell up the country’s forex reserves quietly. My recent RTI intervention and research of proceedings in Parliament has revealed that between 2012 and mid-2018 more than 24,570 Indian Workers died in these Gulf countries. This works out to an average of more than 10 deaths per day. For every US$ 1 Billion they remitted to India during the same period there were at least 117 deaths of Indian Workers in Gulf ...

From crime to verdict: The 27-year journey that 'rewarded' the destroyers of Babri Masjid

By Shamsul Islam    Thirty-three years ago, on December 6, 1992, a 16th-century mosque was reduced to rubble by a frenzied mob orchestrated by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its political fronts. The demolition was not a spontaneous outburst of Hindu sentiment; it was the meticulously planned culmination of a hate campaign that branded Indian Muslims as “Babur-ki-aulad” and the Babri Masjid as a symbol of historical humiliation.
