The Global Country of World Peace ( GCWP) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote Transcendental Meditation, education, and the construction of „buildings for peace” in the world’s major cities. Inaugurated by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation, on October 7, 2000, the GCWP was originally conceived as „a country without borders for peace-loving people everywhere.”
