As former Home Minister I have a unique perspective on the current problems facing Nepal, especially in the current political stalemate that has crippled our country. There is a pervasive lack of harmony and coherence from which no progress seems possible. In our military, however, we have order, chain of command, and coherence that can be used in an unconventional and non-confrontational way to the benefit of Nepal. Our military troops stand ready to follow the orders of their superiors. If the commanders think and plan clearly for the well-being of the nation, the troops will follow.

During the last 25 years, a powerful, innovative approach to national defense and international peace has been extensively field tested - in the Middle East and throughout the world. It is a direct technological application of the most advanced discoveries in the fields of quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and human consciousness. The consistent result of its implementation has been dramatic reductions in terrorism, war, and other social violence. These findings have been replicated, published in leading academic journals, and endorsed by hundreds of independent scientists and scholars. The efficacy of this approach is now beyond question.

These studies verify that the scientific knowledge and technologies are now available to end terrorism and conflict, to achieve indomitable national strength and security, and to create permanent world peace. By implementing these technologies, which are a modern application of ancient Vedic technologies of consciousness, every government can secure the peace and safety of its citizens. But the time to act is now.

For the entire recorded history of Nepal, our nation has remained independent. Even when our giant to the south, India, was completely colonized by the British, Nepal remained a free nation. In those days the people of Nepal followed all Vedic rules and regulations, with traditional Vedic performances creating a shield of invincibility called rashtriya kavach for their country. Now, once again, we can harness these ancient technologies to bring coherence to our nation. True invincibility ultimately can only be achieved when enemies become friends and future enemies can be prevented from arising.

These non-religious Vedic technologies of consciousness have been successfully applied by members of many faiths worldwide to produce societal coherence and eliminate conflict. For instance, the approach was field-tested by the militaries of Mozambique and Ecuador, and now four countries in Latin America in Latin America are deploying it via "Prevention Wings of the Military"- large groups of soldiers who have been trained in these Vedic technologies of consciousness, including the Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi program. When used in a military context, these Vedic meditation practices are known as Invincible Defence Technology (IDT). If the military of Nepal were to apply these non-lethal and non-destructive technologies, it could reduce the collective societal stress that is ultimately responsible for our incoherent government.
