Bhaktisandesam - A Vedic City In The United States

[Guest guest]

Vedic City: Heaven on Earth!

 

 

A New US City Based on Vedic Principles

 

 

 

" I will fill the world with love and create heaven on earth… Heaven

will descend on earth with peace in every home of our world family. "

~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

 

Living in the hope of spending the afterlife in heaven is a definite

waste of the glorious gift of human life. So every individual must

try to create a heavenly environment on earth, and one Hindu

spiritual leader thinks it's very much possible to build heaven on

earth!

 

He is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi — the notable Vedic teacher and

celebrated guru of transcendental meditation, and the vital force

behind such Vedic institutions as the Maharishi University of

Management and the Maharishi International University.

 

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

It is said about Maharishi that over forty years ago, he came out of

isolation in the Himalayas " to relieve the world from suffering " .

Having acquired the long-lost Vedic knowledge from his guru, he set

out to revive the practical, ancient science that is capable of

creating perfect health and enlightenment for all individual and

society to enjoy celestial happiness and peace on earth. Accordingly,

he has enlivened the timeless procedures of Vedic living, developed

the necessary programs, tested their validity, published the results

and invited every government and every family to adopt this

knowledge. One of the many results of this endeavor is the newly

founded Vedic City in the United States.

 

World's First Vedic City!

Vedic City, Iowa became the first city in the world to be built

according to principles of ancient Vedic architectural design, aimed

at creating greater health, happiness, and prosperity for its

residents.

 

On July 25, 2001, the US Secretary of State - amidst pujas by a Hindu

priest and a foundation-stone laying ceremony — officially

incorporated the Vedic City as Iowa's 950th city and first new

township since 1982. In mid-January, 2001, a special committee of the

Iowa City Development Board approved a petition to incorporate a

substantial portion of the Maharishi Center for Perfect Health and

World Peace, located north of Fairfield, as Vedic City. The approval

for incorporation came almost a decade after the inauguration of the

Maharishi Center. The incorporation will help the new city to create

necessary infrastructure and provide services such as police

protection and fire brigade.

 

Based entirely on the ancient principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda

design and other aspects of Maharishi Vedic Science, Vedic City has

more than 40 buildings, including The Raj, a popular health spa and

clinic, three resort hotels, business centers, condominiums, chalets,

villas, and homes. Developers have already spent more than $30

million on this 654-acre land, which currently has a population of

around 150 residents, who are followers of transcendental meditation,

founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

 

What a great achievement!
