its in USA.....Vedic City, or Maharishi Vedic City, is a city located in Jefferson County, Iowa (USA)

Details :

1) Geography:
The total population, currently about 200, is expected by its planners to reach 1,200 by the year 2010. Vedic City is Iowa's newest city and follows Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's views on architectural design that form part of his Maharishi Vedic Science, the foundation of Transcendental Meditation.

Vedic City is located approximately two miles north of Fairfield, Iowa, the home of the Maharishi University of Management.

2) Government:
Vedic City is administered by a five-person city council and a mayor. Few laws or ordinances exist, citing natural law as the governing principle of the city. The current mayor is Dr. Bob Wynne.

3)History:
The idea for Vedic City, a centralized location to practice Transcendental Meditation, was conceived in 1991 by Chris Johnson, a real estate developer from San Francisco.. This idea evolved into a working municipality centered on the principles and teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, including his views on architectural design. These views, part of Maharishi Vedic Science, are claimed by Maharishi to promote happiness and energy, and include having a gold kalash on the roof of each building and having all structures face to the east.


Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,

CURRENCY:
On February 24, 2002, Maharishi Vedic City began to distribute locally Raam Mudra, the currency of the Global Country of World Peace. The City Council adopted Raam Mudra as the ideal local currency to support economic development in the city and development of local businesses and organizations wishing to accept that currency.
Raam Mudra is available in beautiful one, five and ten Raam paper notes. There is a fixed exchange rate of one Raam for $10.
The Global Country of World Peace is dedicated to creating world peace through the establishment of a group of 40,000 Vedic Scholars in India, and the eradication of poverty throughout the world through large Vedic organic agriculture projects in developing countries that will raise the standard of living and quality of life in those countries and will help make those nations self-sufficient.
Of course, dollars are also accepted in the City, as are credit cards. Change of less than one Raam is given in US currency.
