About this city
Maharishi Vedic City is an exceptionally unique, utopian planned community positioned flatly in the rolling green prairies of Jefferson County in southeastern Iowa. Incorporated dynamically in 2001, the city was founded entirely upon the principles of Maharishi Vedic Science, an ancient Sanskrit philosophy promoting collective peace, natural law, and transcendental meditation. Every building in this highly unconventional enclave is meticulously aligned to the exact cardinal directions according to Maharishi Sthapatya Veda architecture, featuring striking golden roof ornaments and organic eco-infrastructure.
