Maharishi Central University (with no students or faculty)
20071 70th Road, Smith Center Kansas  66962
only 1 building completed and 1 resident for 15 years since 2008
Nothing of interest to young people.  An isolated genetic extinction center.
Draining money from the Fairfield breeding ground for a DNA death camp.
Buildings without people are a waste of money.  Maybe keep 1 or 2 buildings.
24 minutes from nearest police, 1.4 hours from Walmart, 3.3 hours from airport.

Fund raisers drain money from helping MIU and MSAE faculty and students.
No children will be happy there for long, depopulating the TM Movement.
1 or 2 buildings is sufficient for a presence at what was the center of the USA until 1958.
The land with unfinished buildings should be sold for $1.8 million to help Fairfield grow.

0 miles not worth the visit

Well known place if u are at nagpur. But trust me there is just nothing. We went all the way by metro to see this famous spot which really nice to know about. But what we see is just darkness. They haven't even kept single light on that spot which allows u to see the pillar n horses. Very disappointing place.

The "Brahmasthan of India" is  347 miles
(a 6:23 hour drive) from Nagpur Maharashtra, the geographic center.
Apparently, 347 miles was considered "close enough" for Sthapatya Veda.

If a 6:23 hour drive is close enough in India, then Fairfield is close enough to
Lebanon KS, a 6:50 hour drive, to be the Brahmasthan of the USA.

No kids will like this Childless TMer, retirement, Genetic Extinction Center, and DNA Death Camp
No one wants to live there except vegetables and their farmers.
Be skeptical of leaders who did not perpetuate their own family, much less yours.
They did not look beyond the present to the next generation enough to replicate themselves.
Don't donate unless you are willing to move there.
There are many more TM projects needing funding, such as Maharishi School in Fairfield.
