MVOAI: Maharishi Sthapatya Veda

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda

Maharishi SthÎpatya Veda is the science of building in accord with Natural Law. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, or Vastu Vidya, is the revival of the ancient Vedic discipline of architecture. It is a complete system of architecture and land planning according to the solar, lunar, and planetary influences on the earth with reference to north and south poles and the equator. It connects individual intelligence with Cosmic Intelligence.

The word Sthapatya means to establish, and the word Veda means knowledge of Natural Law. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda means to establish individual and collective life in full accord with Natural Law.

Sthapatya Veda is the science of structure and relationship, capable of bringing together unity and diversity, and establishing the whole of life in every part of life, so that the relationship of every part with the whole is very well balanced.

Sthapatya Veda brings the knowledge of Natural Law to architecture. The strongest influence of Natural Law on earth comes from the sun. On its path from east to west, the sun generates different influences, different qualities of energy. Plants and animals are sensitive to these different qualities of sunlight, as it varies from morning sun, to afternoon, to evening. Knowledge of these influences allows the farm property and buildings to be designed such that the energy of the sun always supports every activity of daily life and every type of crop.

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda clearly recognizes the importance of proper size, shape and directional orientation of the farms and farm buildings to provide maximum support of nature. When the dimensions and proportions of the farm are specifically calculated using the ancient mathematical formulas of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, then the relationship of the farmer and the farm with the Cosmic counterparts is maintained in perfect resonance.

When the entire farming community is built in accord with Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, then life will be characterized by healthy farmers, healthy crops and a healthy environment. This will create a healthy relationship of every aspect of individual life with everything in nature. All aspects of the farmer¨s life: his consciousness, his body, his family, his home, his crops, and his livestock will be supported by the nourishing power of Cosmic life.
