With all the time we are spending at home, it’s no surprise that many of us are interested in wellness and living in a healthy home. The ancient Vedic tradition was way ahead of its time. In this presentation we learn about the world’s most effective system for creating homes that demonstrably improve health, happiness, and creativity, while reducing stress.

Maharishi Vastu Architecture—the Most Ancient and Complete System of Architecture

Vastu architecture is the oldest and most systematic of the world’s architectural systems. The information on Vastu architecture comes from ancient Sanskrit texts that describe the knowledge (Veda) of establishing form (Sthapatya).

Much of the knowledge of Vastu architecture had been fragmented or lost until recent times. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Transcendental Meditation program, worked with the foremost experts of Sthapatya Veda in India to open this timeless knowledge to the world.

By systematically reviewing and evaluating all the pieces, Maharishi unified and restored Vastu architecture to its wholeness. The restored system is known as Maharishi Vastu® architecture, to give credit to Maharishi.
