The show "Extreme Towns" features a seven-minute clip (~mins 45-52) on Vedic City:
In America's heartland, Maharishi Vedic City is an entire town designed to make life stress free. This new community harnesses ancient Indian spirituality in all areas of life; the restaurants, schools, homes and businesses are all aimed at increasing your inner peace. Named for the famed yogi Maharishi, Vedic City is the fastest-growing city in all of Iowa. Since its founding in 2001, the population had grown 10 times its original size with 1,200 residents now calling it home. Each of these individuals must practice Vedic Natural Law, an ancient Indian science focusing on transcendental meditation -- a mental clearing and physical peace practiced for 15 to 20 minutes twice a day. Other laws enforced in this spiritual haven insist that all food served must be organic and all buildings must be constructed facing east. http://snipurl.com/jlwd2 [www_travelchannel_com] schedule: http://m.travelchannel.com/s/2448/FullTVSchedule?
