Standing atop the eastern continental divide at 4,000 feet, you can see 100 miles of blue mountain waves as far as the towers of Charlotte glinting distantly in the summer sun. Not a single building interrupts the immense view. When clouds fill the valleys below, mountain peaks become island floating in a boundless milk-white ocean. In spring and summer the forest is a splendor of rhododendron, mountain laurel and flame azalea. In the fall, it offers colors that surpass those of Vermont.

This is The Spiritual Center of America, a rapidly growing community located on 7000 pristine acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.   When the center was first conceived, the goal was to provide Himalayan spirituality at an American luxury standard. With the leadership of David and Earl Kaplan, working under Maharishi's guidance, this aim is quickly being achieved.

As wonderful as the outer beauty is, it is the inner quality of life there that makes the Spiritual Center of America worthy of is name. This results from the Maharishi Effect—the influence of intense coherence produced when the Transcendental Meditation and TM Sidhi Yogic Flying programs are practiced in groups. It is created by two large groups of Sidhas who have made the center their permanent home: the Maharishi Thousand Headed Purusha program for single men, and the Mother Divine program for single ladies.

Visitors most often extol the clarity and richness of their experience of consciousness there, in both meditation and activity. "The bliss at the spiritual Center is the best!" said one participant after attending a weekend course. "The silence and wholeness are palpable and pervading, sustained in and out of morning and evening program."

This profoundly spiritual influence is also the reason that more and more families are breading ground for new homes at Heavenly Mountain Resort, a development situated on the mountain ridges between the Purusha and Mother Divine site.

The Spiritual Center of America is the first community in North America built according to the principles for Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design, which creates the Maharishi Vastu^SM Effect--the influence of coherence produced from living in structures built in accord with Natural Law.

At the inauguration of the Spiritual Center of America, Maharishi envisioned its profound significance: "The unfoldment of the field of all possibilities, that self-referral dynamics of consciousness, is going to blossom on a level much more glorious than before. The effects of this for the whole society and for all mankind will be deeper than ever before. Such richness of life awaits every individual on earth—Heaven on Earth for the individual and, without doubt, for the collective destiny of all mankind. The time has come for the precious unfoldment of the golden hue of heavenly life on earth"

Outer beauty, inner expansion of consciousness, building designed in harmony with Natural Law—the Spiritual Center of  America is the ideal placed to visit and to live.
