Maharishi Sthapatya Veda



Maharishi Sthapatya Veda is the world’s most ancient system of architecture. It provides the universal rules and principles-precise mathematical formulas, equations , and proportions to design homes and offices, communities and cities, to bring the beneficial influence off all the laws of nature to human life.

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda is a building technology that can transform the way people think and feel. Homes and offices can be constructed that by their mere design create good health, clear thinking, happiness, harmony, and prosperity for the individual, family or business.

“Because the individual is cosmic, everything about individual life should be in a full harmony with cosmic Life. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design gives dimensions, formulas, and orientations to the buildings that will provide Cosmic harmony and support to the individual for his peace, prosperity, and good health-daily life in accord with Natural Law, daily life in the evolutionary direction.”- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda architecture is the only science in the world that has the precise knowledge and time-tested formulas to determine the following factors for any building:

1. Right direction
2. Right placement of rooms
3. Right proportion

For example, in the texts of Sthapatya Veda, any entrance to a building that is other than due east or due north ( but particularly a southern entrance), is said to be inauspicious and can create an array of undesirable influences for the occupants. By merely closing southern entrances to incoming and outgoing traffic, positive changes in good fortune have been known to occur.

The result is not just seen but is directly experienced by those who live and work in homes and office buildings designed through Maharishi Sthapatya Veda architecture. Today, for the first time, we have a building technology to transform the way people think and feel- to create homes and offices that by their mere design promote good health, clear thinking happiness harmony, and prosperity for the family or business-architecture that is truly is accord with natural law.

In Maharishi Sthapatya Veda every building is designed to be in complete harmony with all the laws of nature ( Natural Law). People living and working in such buildings find that they:
  • think more clearly and creatively
  • make better decisions
  • feel happier and healthier
  • feel more alert and refreshed throughout the day
  • enjoy more restful and refreshing sleep
  • enjoy more energy and less fatigue
  • experience less stress and greater peace of mind
According to the tradition of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design, houses and offices NOT built in accord with Natural Law can create problems such as:
·      anxiety, depression
·      illness, chronic disease
·      blocks to creativity
·      bad luck, financial loss
·      obstacles to progress and success
·      disharmony in relationships
·      breakdown of family
·      anti-social behavior and even criminal tendencies

Vastu is a Sanskrit term signifying” holistic structure of Natural Law.” Then term “proper Vastu” refers to a house or town and its immediate environment when designed according to the principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design.
Some of the principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda can be found within the architecture of several ancient cultures: Angkhor Wall in Cambodia, the Pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt, the temples of ancient Greece, st.Peter’s Church in the Vatican, as well as some towns and castles in Slavic countries.

To enjoy the full value of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design, the whole community should be designed according to Natural Law. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design provides the knowledge of proper direction, placement, and proportion for communities and cities, so that community design also promotes ideal health and good fortune for everyone.

How to write a formal report

THE FORMAL REPORT
The following structure is recommended for formal report:
-          Title page
-          Contents page
-          Terms of reference
-          Procedure
-          Findings
-          Conclusions
-          Recommendations
-          Appendices
-          References


TITLE PAGE
This should obviously contain the title and the name of the author (s).It may also have a reference number or the date, some sort of classification, eg confidential and any other relevant names, such as the body responsible for publications.
Good presentation is crucial in a report at the front page is especially important because it will create the all-important first-impression on the reader. It helps if the title is in larger type than the rest of the information surrounding it on the front page and, if possible, it should be separated from all other information by plenty of white space. This will make the title stand out.
Finally, keep your title short and make sure it states exactly what report is about.
A title such as the following will not make a sharp impression on the reader’s mind.

“Construction and instrumentation of an experimental concrete on the truck road D7 Upbridge bypass to determine the effect of omitting expansion joints.”

There is too much information to take in ‘at a glance’. If all the information is essential, break it down into two or three manageable pieces.

CONTENT PAGE
This page is compiled after the report has been written and should show clearly all sections and sub-sections of the report and the page number on which they can be found. Although this page is compiled at the end of the report writing process, it should bear some relation to the plan you made before you began writing. Each section heading should be specific, giving the reader a clear indication of what it covers.
The following five heading represent a series of questions. The headings, if taken in order, should always produce a satisfactory report.

TERMS OF REFERENCE (This is numbered 1 in your report)

What is the report about?
Who asked who to write it?
Who is likely to read it?
How long should it be?
Are recommendations required?
PROCEDURE (This is numbered 2 in your report)
 What steps were taken to collect the information?
(Give details of interviews, experiments, books and magazines read, etc.)

FINDINGS (this section is numbered 3 in your report)
What information was obtained?
(This is the longest part of the report, presenting all relevant information on the topic being covered. This section will be sub-divided into different areas and appropriate sub-headings will be provided.)

CONCLUSIONS (this section is numbered 4 in your report)
How can the main points of the findings be summarized?
What can you deduce from the findings? (These usually appear together as a separate section after the findings .However in very long reports they may appear at the end of each section findings.)

RECOMMENDATIONS (This section is numbered 5 in your report)
What action is recommended?



APPENDICES
These contains supplementary information which the reader may wish to refer to, but which is not necessary to the main theme of the report, eg one item may be mentioned from a set of statistics in the report itself, but the complete statistics would appear in the appendix.

REFERENCES
A list of written works which have been referred to, should appear at the end of the report. The author, title, publisher, date of publication and any other relevant information should be given.
