the same design was done for São Paulo, but for São Paulo it was not supposed to be a Centre for Vedic Learning. Its name for São Paulo was simply Maharishi Tower, and it would be a normal hotel/offices/residential tower, much like Burj Dubai.
But the population was largely against it, because the design is too ugly and because even Burj Dubai or the Sears would not be approved to São Paulo, because since the 70s anything taller than 170 meters is seen as too tall and severe height restrictions rule in the city.
