Bad Vastu of India’s Parliament Building

Causes Constant Infighting, Problems: Maharishi

*******************************

 

Blame the bad layout—or Vastu—of India’s Parliament building for fuelling

political infighting, impeding governmental progress, and wasting taxpayer

money.

 

This is the expert opinion of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the worldwide

Transcendental Meditation movement, who is alerting Indian government leaders

that a basic cause of their constant fighting over the problems of the nation is

because they are holding meetings in a Parliament building with a wrong Vastu.

“I have been telling the government the same thing for the past 20-30 years,”

Maharishi said. “Nothing good can ever come from the government as long as it is

in a bad Vastu.”

 

Maharishi delivered his message to the Indian press during a global news

conference from his headquarters in Meru, Holland.

 

According to Maharishi, the science of Vastu - Sthapatya Ved - reveals that

layout and orientation have a powerful influence on the occupants of a home or

office building. An eastern entrance facing the rising sun is good because it

promotes orderly thinking, harmonious relations, and success. North is also

good. But an entrance facing south or west—or an entrance skewed in between—is

bad. These buildings promote disorderly thinking, conflict, negativity, and

widespread problems.

 

For this reason, Maharishi wants India’s leaders to abandon all wrongly laid-out

buildings—as if an earthquake had hit the buildings. “These buildings should be

immediately rebuilt with a proper layout, according to the principles of the

Vedic knowledge of architecture in harmony with Natural Law—Sthapatya Veda,”

Maharishi said.

 

Maharishi said it is easy to determine whether the layout of a building has a

good or bad influence. “People can verify it for themselves,” Maharishi said.

“If they are living in a building with a south entrance or a west entrance or an

entrance that is ‘tilted’ (e.g. southwest or northeast) they will find

themselves shrouded in unrest, fears, and problems. If their house faces east

they will enjoy harmony, happiness, and prosperity.”

 

Maharishi also said that there are no exceptions to the rule. “Even a beautiful

parliament building made of marble, which has been designed by a famous

architect, should be demolished if it has a wrong layout,” Maharishi said.

“Otherwise, the mind of the president, prime minister, and his ministers will

never be settled—their thinking will always be disorderly and off-balance.”

 

Maharishi said that the nation will thrive when government leaders live and work

in Vastu offices and residences. And families will enjoy greater prosperity,

improved relations, and more happiness when they move to Vastu homes.

 

Recent scientific research documents that brain neurons fire more coherently

when an individual faces east than when he faces south or west. “How coherently

a man’s brain functions is the basis of how coherently he thinks and behaves,”

Maharishi said.

 

Maharishi emphasized that his advice is based not on man-made architectural

principles but rather on the eternal Veda—the “Unified Field” as it is known of

modern physics—which administers the infinite diversity of the universe with

perfect order. “What we are saying has absolute authority—that means it is true

for all times, in every place, and for everyone,” Maharishi said.

 

Ironically, Maharishi acknowledged that the leaders may not be able to

understand and act on his call to abandon their wrongly laid out buildings

simply because they are living and working in bad Vastu.

 

So, to prevent the negative influences of bad Vastu, Maharishi recently launched

his Global Reconstruction Program and invited builders in every country to begin

building in every city Peace Colonies, composed of “fortune-creating” homes and

offices, and Peace Palaces to teach Maharishi’s Vedic-science based programs to

the whole population.

 

“Now, with this knowledge, builders can stop building ‘unlucky’ buildings that

produce problems and difficulties for the people and instead quickly build

‘fortune-creating’ homes, office buildings, schools, hospitals, and factories in

harmony with Natural Law,” Maharishi said. “In this way, builders can eliminate

the unseen basis of so many problems.”

 

And if someone is a non-believer? “Ultimately, the proof of the pudding is in

the tasting,” Maharishi said. “Demolish your present building and build a new

one according to Vastu, and see how quickly you begin to thrive—see how quickly

you begin to make more money, have better relations, and enjoy more success in

your life. These are the benefits of good Vastu.”

 

* Examples of good and bad vastu:

+Good: The layout of the building should be aligned north/south, east/west

+Good: An entrance facing east is auspicious and produces a positive influence

of coherence, affluence, and fulfillment

-Bad: A “tilted” layout of the house (for example, southeast or northwest) is

always inauspicious

-Bad: An entrance facing south produces a destructive influence of problems,

mistakes, and suffering

Many similar articles on the subject of Sthapatya Ved and Vaastu appeared in the

Summer 2005 all over the USA, for example in

Houston Chronicle “Building has an ancient touch” fr. 20.8.2005,

The Washington Post “Yoga, Meditation Seen As Health Care Boons” fr. 3.3.2005,

The Washington Post “Mind over Mortar” fr. 7.7.2005

South is bad vaastu for both Bush, Blair

Washington, August 21, 2005

 

Just close the White House’s south entrance and see the difference. That is the

advice for US President George W. Bush from John Hagelin, quantum physicist from

Harvard and a Vedic architecture buff.

 

For making “wiser and more intelligent decisions”, Bush should start using the

north entrance, says Hagelin. He has a similar prescription for Bush’s

comrade-in-arms, Tony Blair: Shut down the south entrance to 10 Downing Street.

 

This could mean the end of their troubles in Iraq. Nothing seems to be working

yet. Vaastu may well bring the two leaders some respite.

 

Vedic architecture, incorporating Vaastu principles, is just about catching on

in the US — a $ 72-million tower, touted as the world’s largest Vedic green

office building, is now coming up on Washington’s outskirts.

 

Much of the Vaastu propagation is being carried out by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s

band of followers like Hagelin, who heads an organisation called the “US Peace

Government”.

 

“Nothing good will ever come from the government as long as the leaders are

living and working in the disorderly influence of improperly designed and

oriented buildings. The leaders should flee these old buildings as they were hit

by an earthquake,” says Hagelin…
