Imagine the earth, along with millions of other heavenly bodies, floating like giant balls through black empty space. The entire universe is a complex and ever-expanding structure and yet it is so beautifully organized. What is it that holds this giant wholeness together?
The answer is contained in the knowledge of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda. More than a mere science and art of construction, it contains the principles and laws governing the design and structure of the entire universe. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda is one of the forty disciplines of Maharishi's Vedic Science and derives its name from the Sanskrit root sthapan whose meaning is "to establish". The word Veda is translated as "total knowledge of Natural Law". Maharishi Sthapatya Veda therefore, can be defined as the total knowledge of Natural Law that establishes the connection of every structure in the universe with its source; the field of Pure Consciousness where every grain of the Cosmos is perpetually designed and created.
The universal principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda range in influence from the placement of rooms in a home to the organization of our solar system and all the galaxies beyond. Establishing everything in the field of perfection, Maharishi Sthapatya Veda organizes the world in a way that promotes health, prosperity, and evolution for the individual, the society and the environment.
We live in the boundaries of space and time. But the essential nature of life is unbounded and eternal. The knowledge of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda enlivens the boundless within all boundaries, and in all structures. From the structure of the atom to the far reaches of the endless universe, Maharishi Sthapatya Veda creates an alliance between the boundaries of an individual structure and the structure-less universal intelligence at its basis.
Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design is the most ancient and complete system of architecture and planning. Using its principles, buildings are designed according to the solar, lunar and planetary influences on the earth with reference to the north and south poles and the equator thereby connecting individual life with Cosmic Life.
Maharishi Sthapatya Veda architecture emphasizes the importance of direction and orientation whether planning a home, an office building or an entire city. The strongest influence of Natural Law on earth comes from the sun. On its path from east to west the sun generates different qualities of energy. As the sun rises for example, all the cells change their mood and their style of functioning. The whole physiology is intimately connected with everything that goes on in the universe.
By enlivening the laws of nature in the structures of the environment, Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design establishes a perfect relationship between the activity of the individual and the sun, and through it the entire universe and all the laws of Nature.
* Maharishi Sthaptya Veda is an ancient science that has been revived in its purity by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation technique. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple mental technique that is practiced sitting comfortably for 20 minutes twice a day. It is unique and different from other types of meditation in that does not involve any concentration and contemplation. For this reason it is easy and enjoyable instead of difficult and tedious like other forms of meditation. It must be learned by a certified TM teacher through a standardized one week course. There is a substantial fee but low interest financing and scholarships are available through the TM movement which is a non-profit charitable organization.
