Vedic City Council Adopts Total Natural Law, Sanskrit

VEDIC CITY, Iowa - Officials of the state's newest city adopted the

Constitution of the Universe, known as Total Natural Law, to be the guiding

light of the city as the council met for the first time. The council also on

Tuesday declared the ancient Sanskrit to be the city's ideal language.

"Veda" is the Sanskrit word meaning knowledge. "The Constitution of the

Universe is the fundamental level of Natural Law identified both by modern

science and by ancient Vedic wisdom," Mayor Bob Wynne said.

 

Wynne and five council members were sworn into office before holding the

first council meeting Tuesday. All six were instrumental in creating the

glittering city on what once was 654 acres of farmland two miles north of

Fairfield. Vedic City recently became Iowa's 950th city and the new one

since 1982. Vedic City's founders are followers of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,

leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement and founder of the

Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield.

 

The first resolution passed by the new city government declared that "on the

basis of a population that is increasingly aligned with Natural Law, the

government of the city will enjoy effortless, successful administration like

Nature administers all the diversity of creation."

 

Wynne said Sanskrit is enriching and helps people tune into the Constitution

of the Universe that is Natural Law. The council also voted to expand the

name of the city from Vedic City to Maharishi Vedic City.

 

The design of the city is based on architectural principles of Maharishi

Sthapatya-Veda, which the Maharishi says he uncovered in ancient transcripts

in India. Believers say the buildings, because of their design, alignment

and use of natural materials, promote health, clear thinking, happiness and

harmony.

 

Developers said that Vedic City is dedicated to creating maximum health and

well-being for its citizens and visitors. They said 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.

 

Construction in the city must conform to Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design -

an architectural system the Maharishi says he uncovered in ancient

transcripts in India. Believers say Sthapatya Veda buildings, because of

their design, alignment and use of natural materials, promote health, clear

thinking, happiness and harmony. The boundary of the city encompasses about

125 residents, the Raj Hotel and Resort, the Rukmapura Park Hotel, an

outdoor Vedic observatory and several businesses.

"In which camp would you have found yourself if you had lived in the time of

Galileo when he proposed support for the radical notion that the earth

revolved around the sun instead of the other way around? Think about it.

Would you have rationally examined the evidence presented, or would you have

just rejected the radical new paradigm?"
