Vastu & Sthapatya Veda

We are pleased to offer your comprehensive advice about your private ownership of the our residence.

  • In Maharishi’s words, Sthapatya Veda is the Science of Establishing. It is the most ancient and complete system of architecture and city planning in accord with Natural Law, which takes into account the influences of the planets and of the North and South Poles and the equator.
  • The first act is to establish the knower, which is something that takes place in your own consciousness. Establishing a house to protect the knower comes after that. Vedic Science is the Science of Consciousness, and Sthapatya Veda is one of the 40 aspects of Maharishi’s Vedic Science that have been revived by Maharishi. It is a great blessing that we have this knowledge from Maharishi.
  • Maharishi explains that he started the TM Movement simply by teaching people Transcendental Meditation and giving them the experience of transcending.
  • The experience of unboundedness during Transcendental Meditation is the basis of understanding all other aspects of Maharishi’s Vedic Science.
  • Gradually, Maharishi started to revive one aspect of ancient Vedic Science after another and related all of them to the experience of transcending. First he started telling people that in addition to transcending, it is important what kind of food we eat, what kind of clothes we wear, and – lastly – what kind of houses we live in.
  • Sthapatya Veda is one of the lasts aspects of his Vedic Science that Maharishi brought out because it is the most physical. Sthapatya Veda enlivens consciousness in hard physical matter – in the bricks and stones of your house. It is truly amazing how the heaviness of stones can be transformed in a way so they are not pulling you down anymore.
  • In a building that has been constructed according to the principles of Sthapatya Veda, the mind does not lose its unbounded awareness that is gained during Transcendental Meditation.
  • ‘Sthapatya Veda is one of the lasts aspects of his Vedic Science that Maharishi brought out because it is the most physical. Sthapatya Veda enlivens consciousness in hard physical matter – in the bricks and stones of your house.’
  • One is Science, the other is Technology. Science is the theoretical aspect, Technology is the applied aspect. The term Sthapatya Veda refers to the theoretical aspect, while the term Vastu refers to the applied aspect of this precious knowledge. Vedameans knowledge, and Sthapan means to establish. Therefore as we already mentioned, Sthapatya Veda is the Science of Establishing.
  • Vastu, on the other hand, has two meanings. Vastuwith a short A refers to the Earth as a whole, to our home planet on which we build our homes and cities. Vastu with a long A refers to the individual plot of land on which you build your house.
  • The boundaries of this plot of land should be parallel to the longitudes and latitudes of our planet, which aligns our individual piece of land to the North and South Pole and the equator. In this way, the individual plot of land is always connected to the global grid that is used for city and country planning in Sthapatya Veda.
  • There are many other specifications that are part of the technology of Vastu, which ensure that the individual remains always connected to the Cosmos. These specifications are incorporated into the design of the house, its placement inside the Vastu plot of land, its orientation and proportions, the timing of laying the foundation stone and of moving into the new house, as well as many other factors that ensure the harmony between the individual and the Cosmos.
  • Maharishi simplified everything to be most conducive for enlightenment. To simplify things that first appear difficult is the task of a great Rishi like Veda Vyasa or Maharishi.
  • The knowledge of Sthapatya Veda was highly scattered and misunderstood. Maharishi clarified many things that are still misunderstood even in India and made this precious knowledge of Sthapatya Veda usable for our present time to bring peace to the world by building houses and cities that are in harmony with Cosmic Intelligence.
  • Most importantly, Maharishi clarified that Veda is not simply man-made poetry. His discovery of the silent Avyakta Sukta of Rik Veda and his cognition of the Apaurusheya Bhashya, the inherent, self-created commentary of Rik Veda, truly show that Maharishi was a great Rishi.
  • Maharishi explains that Sthapatya Veda is what gives the Veda its structure. So Sthapatya Veda is far more than just the knowledge of how to build houses. Sthapatya Veda is part of the structuring dynamics of consciousness that appears as the material universe.
  • ‘Sthapatya Veda is far more than just the knowledge of how to build houses. It is part of the structuring dynamics of consciousness that appears as the material universe.’
  • Most importantly, buildings that are constructed according to Vastu principles should be oriented according to the cardinal directions, North, South, East, and West, and have their main entrance on the East. And not just anywhere on the East, but the door should be in a specific position in the Eastern wall, North of the middle line, never South of the middle line.
  • It’s equally important to have an unobstructed view of the sunrise in the morning, which means the building should be ideally on an Eastern slope, without any mountains to the East that could block the morning Sun. Maharishi explains that the Sun is the most important influence of Natural Law on Earth. Therefore, we want an unobstructed view of the Sun as it rises in the morning.
  • In addition, the proportions of the house are calculated according to a set of ancient Vedic formulas that connect the individual to the Cosmos, and the rooms in the house are positioned in such a way that the activity that takes place in each room is supported by their placement. Otherwise, it can happen that you always feel hungry in the bedroom or sleepy in the kitchen.
  • The specific times at which the construction of the house should start and when you should move into your new house are also calculated in such a way that they are most conducive to your success and well-being. Such a building resonates with Cosmic Intelligence. The inhabitants can clearly perceive this as they feel that the walls of the building are almost transparent, enhancing the connection of the individual to the Cosmos.
  • In an ordinary building, on the other hand, the walls often feel as if they are restricting your consciousness and hold you in. This heaviness disappears in a Vastu building.
