Vedic City, Iowa - near
theThe Physical Brahmasthan of the United States is 17 miles west
of Castle Rock, South Dakota, the Geographical
Center of all 50 states
- the total unified country of the USA - since 1959

Former geographic centers of the United States
In July 1790,
Washington DC was
founded as a planned city near the geographic center of the original 13
colonies of the United States. Until 1958, over 48 years ago, the Geographical Center of
lower 48 states only was near
Lebanon Kansas.
Smith County is
angered by the TM organization's land purchase indicating lack of support
of Nature. The town lost its
significance, and a tourist shop went out of business, when Alaska, the
largest state, pulled the previous Brahmasthan significantly North West from Kansas, when President Eisenhower signed it as the 49th state on January
3, 1959. The center of the USA moved again, when Hawaii became the 50th state on August 21, 1959.

The Population Brahmasthan of the United States is
between
Edgar Springs, Missouri according to 2000 census or
Montgomery City, Missouri
according to Dr. David Recheson, who used a computerized calculus
method in 2004.

Why is the Brahmasthan important?
The optimal point for spreading coherence to Americans
Fairfield Iowa does not gain
as much from being the Brahmasthan of the American people, such much as it is
an
optimal point for giving.
Brain Wave Coherence (BWC) spreads outwards from the Brahmasthan, and is
somewhat influenced by the surroundings. So the coherence creating group can most
evenly distribute coherence to the collective consciousness of the population of the United States.
For example, if the group moves westward that would decrease the coherence in Maine and Florida
while the coherence would increase in Alaska and Hawaii. The
significance of the Brahmasthan is the support of nature that a
coherence creating group gives to it, by practicing the Transcendental
Meditation and TM-Sidhis Program from that point.

Montgomery City, Missouri is just 176 miles south of
Fairfield &
Vedic City,
Iowa.
Edgar
Springs, Missouri was named by the Census Bureau as the population
center in 2001.
If we consider the population of Alaska and Hawaii, although relatively small, this would move the centroid north west, and nearer to Fairfield, Iowa.

Maharishi International University moved its campus from California to Iowa
in 1974.
Maharishi chose the location by spontaneous cognition, confirmed by
mathematics.
Nature provided the perfect location, near the Brahmasthan of the USA population.

At 591,000 square miles, Alaska is as wide as the lower 48 states
and larger than Texas, California and Montana combined.

Where is the geographical center of the United States?
The article is quick to point out, however, that none of the designated "centers" are truly precise or objectively determined:
Many variables exist when calculating the center of a land mass as large as the United States, and selective criteria and methods can be used, from the selection of different map projections, to defining the periphery of the shape with varying degrees of accuracy.
In fact, scientists at the Geodetic Survey have stopped calculating "centers" due to the imprecise nature of the task. Oscar S. Adams, Senior Mathematician for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, even wrote, "Since there is no definite way to locate such a point, it would be best to ignore it entirely...."
