• Summer 2008 – Distance learning. Mayonic Science & Technology 307 (3 CU )Advanced studies in MS&T: Scientific and Spiritual Architecture
The focus of this course will be to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of fundamental texts related to MS & T. The theme explored is the effulgent Space itself is the store-house of energy, and the originating source of objects of the universe...Space – substance itself turns into two streams of material form – aural forms and visual forms – this is the statement on the secret of space science. We use this secret in mathematical form to build temples, homes, villages, towns, music, poetry, dance and sculpture and a myriad of other forms. This course will include a study and analysis of three advanced texts by Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati: Temples of
Space Science, The Scientific Edifice of Brihadeeswarara Temple, and Significance of Vimanam and Gopuram and other assigned text.
• Summer 2008 – Distance learning
Mayonic Science & Technology 308 (2 CU)
Advanced studies in MS&T: The Mandala of Building Architecture
The focus of this course will be to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for fundamental texts related to MS&T. This course explores the concept that the embodied energy in all material
objects is called Vastu Purusha and it is invoked through using principles of MS&T. When its nature is understood and is incorporated into living spaces, this is the zenithal achievement of
architecture. The foundational basis of this spiritual science will be discussed in depth. This course will include a study and analysis of the advanced texts Quintessence of Sthapatya Veda

What is Vastu architecture not?
With respect for all branches of knowledge we place it in categories according to its usefulness to human life. Some are simply fraud, some are amusing in its naive approach, others have limited value. Authentic Vastu architecture is not Indian Feng Shui, not new age woo woo anything, not mixed up or incomplete knowledge of Vastu.
Authentic Vastu architecture is not trying to fix anything by moving objects around in the building such as mirrors, chairs, tables or selling devices such as pyramids or objects of supernatural powers to correct or enhance some kind of energy.
woo woo is a no no for seekers ofauthentic knowledge.

The perfect mathematics of nature
Unmanifest energy is made manifest through a process of mathematics and proportions. An exaple: Human body or any organism.
Nature knows how to manifest in the perfect way. The key to the perfection is orderliness and specificity according to mathematical laws. The outcome is beauty and functionality. Nothing is at random.
Mamuny Mayan knew how nature manifests and used the same formula, thus revealing how to create perfect buildings, that is, buildings that resonate coherence and maximum well being for the inhabitant.
Nature does not create at random
30
Manifestation process
Nature manifests from within, from wholeness to parts. Energy manifests as form from within space itself through quantifiable steps of frequency. Mayonic science names this process vastureeva vaastu.
Likewise, vaastu architecture locates the source of energy in unmanifest space-time and making use of the mathematics of the manifestation process knows BEFOREHAND what quality comes out of specific size and
31
resonance
That quality should resonate with the inhabitant of the structure. The source of the individual is his heart and the source of the building is the silent middle point of the structure, it´s heart. From heart to heart is the resonance manifested through mathematics of frequency just like two tuning forks vibrating in harmony.
32
Tuning frequency
Since nothing is at random, it is the size of the motherwall that tunes the quality, that is, the frequency, of the building. Think of the motherwall as a musical instrument. We tune a string looking for a specific note. The note has a quality and that quality is it´s frequency. When we have the frequency, the note, we build a scale that is the proportions of the music
33
33
MotherwallJust like that we define size of the motherwall and then use specific method to build the scale, the proportions of the building. All organisms have an internal harmony of proportions. The beauty and functionality of the structure we build is absolutely based on the internal harmony of proportions as well as location.
34
LocationNothing is at random. The heart of the individual is located at the perfect place. No other place is possible. Just like that is the every thing in the building located at the right spot. The silent middle space of the building is the source of the more manifest qualities, the building blocks of all life on earth, air, fire, water and earth. 35
35
SummarySpecific quality of energy, made manifest by mathematical laws of nature, creating resonance, harmony, with the inhabitant, thus empowering all positive qualities of life. The basis of Vaastu architecture is optimal well being of the inhabitant on all levels of life.

Vastu consultantWhat does she do?
She or he:
Makes assessment of the owners needs and desires
Finds the most suitable spot for the building
Finds the most suitable motherwall for the inhabitants, the basis for the design
Supervises and coordinates the process of design
Orients the building in the most suitable way
Supervises every step in the building process
44
Assessment of needs
The owner has desires and needs to me met and consolidated against financial, building regulation and other limitations there may be.
Proper assessment of needs of the owner(s) is the basis for successful building project.
45
Site selection
It is very important to select a building site that emanates positive qualities such as beauty, fertility, peace, cleanliness et.c. from the earth and surrounding area. The quality of the site is examined by investigation of numerous factors such as soil quality, vegetation, slope of site, flow of underground water, ambience of site et.c.
4648
47
Calculation
Finding the most suitable motherwall involves calculation that is the basis for the forthcoming design of the house that involves, proportions, main entrance, facing of the building towards a cardinal direction et.c.
48
Orientation
The building should be oriented right on the cardinal directions to be in harmony with the energy grid of the earth aligned to true north.
This, as all other aspects of Vaastu architecture, requires high degree of precision.
49
Supervision
Once she or he has:
found the optimal building spot, designed the building with a team of engeeners and architects and that design has passed quality control assessment by the AUM, coordinating this whole process of design.
Then it is the job of the Vastu consultant to supervise the building process, making sure that the building is built ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN.
5052
51
Supervision
The process of design involves:
Drawings of architecture and engineering that involves structural calculations, electricity, plumbing, heating and ventilation.
The process of building involves:
coordination of and supervision of all tradesmen and builders that partake in the building process.

Inspiration Any form of art, be it music, dance, poetry, sculpture or architecture, that has the power to uplift us comes from the same source of life. We can call it simplicity, harmony and beauty and it affects us because it resonates with our source, our heart.
You may want to manifest from that source and resonate with that manisfestation and enjoy spiritual bliss.
