Peaceful and enlightened retirement

The Maharishi Vedic City and Fairfield community recognizes that the elders of our society are one of our country’s most precious resources. With their accumulated knowledge, experience, and wisdom, coupled with their lifetime of service in every field of life, they represent a resource to be protected, appreciated, and honored.

Indo-Americans naturally desire to spend their retirement years in good health and fulfillment. Some begin thinking more seriously about personal spiritual development. Yet many seniors find that a lifetime of stress and strain interferes with their ability to live life to the fullest.

With its peaceful surroundings and creative and dynamic community life, Maharishi Vedic City is one of the most ideal retirement locations for Indo-Americans. Maharishi Vedic City has planned an ideal retirement community offering Indo-American seniors:

• A peaceful, harmonious, low-crime environment — Recreational, health, cultural, and community facilities are nearby.
• Rich educational programs through Maharishi University of Management — The University programs have at their core the practice of the Transcendental Meditation program, which has been demonstrated to improve health and longevity, increase mental alertness, and improve social relationships.
• Vedic Technologies for spiritual development — These Vedic technologies include the Maharishi Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, including Yogic Flying, courses in reading the Vedic Literature in Devanagari script, concerts and lessons in Maharishi Gandharva Veda, and courses in Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health.
• A way to contribute to world peace — Many Indo-Americans, since the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington DC on September 11, 2001, desire more than ever to actively do something to help promote peace and protect our nation from further attack. Published research has shown that the square root of 1% of the national population practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs in groups can reduce crime and violence. Over 100 Indo-American families have moved to Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City recently to participate in the coherence-creating activities of the community. Many families have contributed to Maharishi Vedic City’s Permanent World Peace project. For details on these peace-creating Vedic Scholars, visit: www.maharishivediccity.com/contribute/index.html
• Maharishi Consciousness-Based Health Care — Natural, prevention-oriented healthcare with Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health^SM to maintain good health and treat disease.
• Rich cultural opportunities — Indian holidays, concerts and lessons of Maharishi Gandharva Veda music, art exhibits, dance performances, community theater plays, and frequent social gatherings are widely offered.
• Recreation and fitness — The Fairfield community offers an indoor recreational center with Olympic size swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, and a golf course. Jefferson County boasts a beautiful 18 mile loop trail through beautiful parks, peaceful fields and woods, and around serene lakes and streams.
• Housing — Ideal housing built according to the principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design — architecture that promotes health and well-being.

“It’s an ideal retirement. Every day is a joy. I am more relaxed and focusing more on my meditation program in the Golden Dome. It’s a good life. I don’t have any worries about the future. I would suggest many people of retirement age do the same thing.”
