The Geographic Brahmasthan of the United States is Belle Fourche, South Dakota, the Geographical Center of all 50 states, the center of soil, rocks, and dirt of the total unified country of the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii) - since 1959
Note: The physical center is not in Kansas any more.

The Population Brahmasthan or "Brain Brahmasthan" or "Brainmasthan" of the United States, the Center of the American Brain and Mind,  is in Fairfield & Vedic City Iowa, 176 miles north of the population center of the USA, Montgomery City, Missouri, according to Dr. David Recheson, who used a computerized calculus method (see below).

The Center of the Nation is located 20.8 miles north of Belle Fourche, S.D. The Belle Fourche Chamber of Commerce has been raising money for the past eight years hoping to build a monument to better showcase the Center of the Nation. The red pole on a cement pad is the only marker at this time. It can hardly be seen from the road.

This is about 176 miles south from Vedic City, Iowa
the Consciousness Center of the USA

176 miles  is within the 5% range of deviation from the calculated center.

On July 16, 1790 the District of Columbia was founded as a planned city near the geographic center of the original 13 colonies of the United States. It was to be a fair horse ride for Congressmen and Senators - equal distance from Maine and Florida.

Smith Center, Lebanon Kansas
"Boremasthan"
For a few years, until 1958, over 48 years ago, the Geographical Center of lower 48 states only was near Smith County.  They are not welcoming the wasteful TM organization's land purchase indicating lack of support of Nature.  Why?  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 under President Dwight Eisenhower

On April 5, 2006 Dr. John Hagelin and Dr. Bevan Morris
announced the ideal location for the World Capital of Peace in
Washington Kansas (population 1075).  In 2008, the ideal location
moved 105 miles (2 hours) west to to Lebanon, Kansas (pop. 180),
and 444 miles (7:23 hour drive) west of Fairfield, Iowa (pop. 10000)

Sadly, some TM leaders, including Maharishi and Rajas, did not create
children for their enlightened DNA to survive into the next generation,
and have less direct personal experience with how kids think, and assume
that kids will like living for long in Lebanon KS.  Fund raisers drain money
from helping MIU and MSAE grow in enrollment in Fairfield IA.
Lebanon is a good place for vegetables and their farmers.

Nearest food store is 12 miles or 20 minute drive
Nearest Walmart is 83 miles or 1:23 hours away
Nearest airport is ICT in Wichita KS 202 miles or 3:18 hours

Why is the Brahmasthan important?
The optimal point for spreading coherence to Americans

Fairfield Iowa creates Brain Wave Coherence (BWC) from its location as the Brahmasthan of the American people, the optimal point for giving. 

Light from the Golden Domes  generously shines like a light bulb, not expecting much to return from the darkness, just the satisfaction from spreading light.  In return, Fairfield Sidhas also receive enlightenment and good karma.  Brain Wave Coherence (BWC) spreads outwards from the Consciousness Brahmasthan, and is somewhat influenced by the surroundings.  From Fairfield, 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, then 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.

Maharishi got it right the first time - by choosing Fairfield Iowa

He was not wrong.  He was not off by a few states.  He was right on.

Some students resisted moving from California to isolated Iowa in 1973.
Students will resist even more to boring, isolated Kansas.

How Can The Locations Be Computed?
Maharishi was never told about Dr. Recheson's calculations.

Using the centroid formula, the population center would be located  in Montgomery City, Missouri,
approximately 70 miles west-northwest of St. Louis and 175 miles south of Fairfield, Iowa.

Established in 1790, Washington D.C. was almost exactly at the population center at that time (see 1810). Now Fairfield is about 200 miles north of the current center of population. This is a good guideline for where the capitol of a country should be placed. The geographic center being important is a concept that originates in modern times. It is not recognized in the ancient texts (Vastu Shasta).

Rick Shaddock (Professor of Computer Science at (GraduateSchool.edu ) is working on calculations that consider the relatively small, but important population of Alaska and Hawaii.   These 2 states would move the Population Center north and west towards Fairfield, Iowa.


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 of the USA north west, and nearer to Fairfield, Iowa.

Where is the Geographic Center of the United States?

Where is the geographical center of the United States?

 
As we learned while reading an archived newsletter from the Center for Land Use Interpretation, there are several answers to your question:
  • The geographical center of the lower 48 states lies outside of Lebanon, Kansas, in the middle of a hog farm.
  • The geographical center of all 50 states is located 17 miles west of Castle Rock, South Dakota.
  • The geodetic center of the U.S. is found approximately 42 miles south of Lebanon, Kansas. (Note: A geodetic survey makes corrections to account for the curvature of the Earth.)

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...."
