Living in Harmony with Maharishi Vastu ®Homes

A home can be so much greater than the sum of its parts. It can be a special space that creates an influence of good health, happiness, family harmony, and even a sense of connectedness for its occupants.

We see an innate intelligence in nature with the seasons coming on time, plants growing and animals knowing when to wake from hibernation. Maharishi Vastu connects nature’s intelligence to our own individual intelligence. This is what creates lasting, positive influences for the occupants of Maharishi Vastu homes and buildings.

Maharishi Vastu architecture is the technology for the design and construction of buildings derived from the science of Sthapatya Veda, one of the branches of the ancient Vedic literature. The Sanskrit word “sthapan” means to establish; the word Veda means knowledge of nature’s hidden innate intelligence. This is the aspect of the ancient texts that describes how to build and design in alignment with nature. This eternal system of Vastu architecture and planning was restored to its completion by the respected sage Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, known the world over for introducing the Transcendental Meditation® program.

Four Principles of Vastu Architecture

In Maharishi Vastu architecture (MVA), natural architectural principles create a profound integration of the built environment and nature. This synergy enhances our physical and mental health, our family relations, our work, and our spiritual growth. The ancient science is key to creating a wellness home by integrating the most life-supporting laws of nature into a Vastu house design.

The Maharishi Vastu system may be incorporated into almost any style, from classical to contemporary. Its key elements are based on the precise impact of the sun as well as on our relationship to the North and South Poles and equator. Using the intelligence of the cosmos and nature, we balance our individual structure with the structure of the cosmos through these Vastu home design principles.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi revived the practice to also incorporate contemporary elements that contribute to well-being: natural and non-toxic construction materials, an abundance of fresh air and natural light, views of nature, and greatly reduced electromagnetic radiation.

Here are some central elements of Maharishi Vastu design:

Right Direction

The orientation of a building has a dramatic, documented association with the quality of life of its occupants. The sun’s energy is most nourishing when it is rising. East-facing buildings bring the greatest benefit to the health and success of their occupants, a core principle of Vastu home design. The human brain is sensitive to orientation and responds positively to the influence of the rising sun. When one faces east, the brain physiology functions differently than when one is facing north, south, or west. From eight possible directions (the four cardinal and four diagonal directions), only two directions – east and north – produce wholly beneficial influences in Vastu architecture.

Right Placement of Rooms

The strongest influence of nature’s intelligence on earth comes from the sun, and it has differing qualities of energy as it moves across the sky. MVA buildings are designed so that the differing activities that we perform within the various rooms of a home are aligned with the appropriate qualities of the sun, a key aspect of Vastu house design. When these laws of nature are lively, when you enters the study you will feel more alert, in the living room one will feel naturally sociable, and when one enters the dining room one will naturally feel hunger at mealtimes and digest food better.

Symmetry & Right Proportion

Proportion is a key to successful design in nature. Right proportion and measurement in buildings further strengthen the connection of our individual intelligence to the intelligence that structures and maintains the world. When an MVA home is designed, its dimensions are calculated using very precise, ancient mathematical formulas of Vastu architecture.

Natural and Nontoxic Materials and Solar Energy

An important component of Maharishi Vastu architecture is building sustainably with natural and non-toxic materials suitable to the budget, locale, and climatic conditions. This includes materials such as wood, brick, tile, stone, and rammed earth, as well as natural finishes such as gypsum plaster, clay, marble, stone tile, natural fibers in curtains and furniture, and healthful, natural, zero-VOC paints—all enhancing the sustainability of Vastu-compliant architecture.
