Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 US has first Vedic City Washington - A city, built in consonance with the Vedic principles of man-nature relationship, has been set up in the United States. Located at about two km north of Fairfield in southeast Iowa, the "Vedic City is the first city in the modern world to be based entirely on the ancient principles of maharishi sthapatya-veda design and other aspects of maharishi vedic science," the city authorities said in a release. Maharishi vedic science is comprised of 40 approaches, including architecture, community learning, health care, education, music and agriculture, Rogers Badgett, one of the city's developers, said. "Its goal is to bring the life of the individual and society in tune with the laws of nature and thus gain support of natural law for every undertaking," he said. Earlier this year, the state of Iowa city development committee approved a petition to incorporate the 654-acre site for the new city. The city currently has 40 buildings and a population of 125 but the promoters are confident that it will grow and attract several thousand permanent residents within a few years.
