| The strongest influence of Natural
Law on earth comes from the sun. Not only is the orientation towards
the rising sun, i.e. towards east, the most auspicious, but also,
as the sun (seemingly) traverses the sky, from sunrise to sunset,
it radiates different qualities of energy. Maharishi Sthapatya Veda
considers the energy of the Sun at different times of the day and
its influence on different parts (north, south, east, and west)
of the building.
| According to Maharishi
Sthapatya Veda there is a suitable place for the entrance,
the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, the study,
and the bedroom in any home. This is based on Vastu Vidya
– knowledge of the correct positioning for storage and
generation of different elements used in the building, such
a fire (used for cooking), or water (for bathing, etc.).
Healthy living means that one should not always feel sleepy
in the dining room, or always feel hungry in the study. Rather,
when one enters the study one should feel more fresh and alert;
when one enters the dining room, digestion should be stimulated;
and the location of the bedroom should be conducive to deep
undisturbed rest.
Maharishi Sthapatya Veda considers all these factors to ensure
that every aspect of daily activity in the home or office
building is in harmony with Natural Law.

Similarly, in town and city planning
the same principles of suitability of direction are applied,
so that all aspects of living are fully supported by the nourishing
power of Natural Law.
Brahmasthan
In addition to all commonly found facilities, there is one
very special place in every Maharishi Sthapatya Veda structure.
This is the Brahmasthan, the open central point – the
seat of wholeness. Every home should have a Brahmasthan, where
the totality of Natural Law is established. Then the home
becomes a holistic structure of Natural Law. And every town,
city, and country should have a Brahmasthan, so that every
citizen is always connected with the wholeness of Cosmic Life.
