Vaastu Veda – Link to The Ancient Past 2

By Dr. Jessie Mercay
posted by Ganesh

Veda Vyasa in his Bhagvatam mentions the Pranava Veda:

This is paraphrased as: In the ancient past there existed only one Veda and it was called the Pranava Veda.

During the time of the Pranava Veda, India was united as one great country whose borders spanned to Persia, Afghanistan, Nepal and into Cambodia and the Far East. There was no caste or division by religion or color. This Unity also reached to Kumari Continent that once existed in the South Ocean below India but was deluged by water from the melting icecaps (circa 10,000 BC). This fact has been revealed in the Bhagavatam, Sankalpa, Saivagama, and other sources.

The literature that supports the body of knowledge in the Vishwakarma tradition is vast. In India, there were more than 70 Shastras held by the Shilpis. In addition there are over fifteen Shastras written by the ancient Rishi Mayan who was the progenitor of this entire body of knowledge including the previously mentioned Pranava Veda, Aintiram, Suryasidhantam and Mayamatam.

The technical material found in this vast body of literature can also be found in epics, puranas, and throughout the body of literature called the Vedas. References to the scientific, technical and spiritual aspects of this knowledge can be found throughout the Vedas. Once the foundational knowledge from the Pranava Veda and Aintiram is understood then the normally difficult – to – understand Rig (Rik) Veda becomes well understood and profoundly significant.

Chapter 17 in Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapatis’ text, Building Architecture of Sthapatya Veda discusses the Upanishads that are left out of the usual list of Upanishads. Apart from the 108 Upanishads, there are non-listed ones that reveal the most basic and subtle principles of cosmic science and cosmic structure, principles not revealed in other Upanishads.

Shilpa Vidya Rahasyopanishad (one of the non-listed Upanishads) brings out the potency of the cosmic science known as Shilpa. Vaastu Sutropanishad refers to the metaphysical question of the origin of form and its importance for the attainment of spiritual realization or “moksha.” This Upanishad throws light on the basic conceptions and practice underlying sacred art.

These Upanishads, if studied and understood, provide a deepened understanding of the other Vedas. According to Dr. S. P. Sabharathnam the Vedas are to be studied and properly understood by those whose minds have first been illumined and perfected by the systematic study of Agamas and Vaastu scriptures.

He mentions that while an Agamic or Vastu Scholar could easily understand that the first Mantra of the Rig Veda speaks of the 5 concentric belts of cosmic structure, no existing commentaries and translations of the Rig Veda offer any reference to the implication of the 5 belts of cosmic structure (as described in this text). This knowledge is revitalized through the Grace of God by the efforts of Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati. He is our root – our moolam.

Vaastu Veda – Link to The Ancient Past 1

Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati is our direct link to the ancient past. He was a practicing traditional architect/designer, builder, sculptor, writer and teacher, born of the aboriginal creative tribe of India – Vishwakarma. He was a Vishwabrahmin and his genealogy can be traced as far back as 1050 years with an understanding that his ancient ancestors beyond that time were also Sthapatis (an honored title for a person who is all inclusively an architect, builder, sculptor and scholar). Excellence and fame has followed his family through the ages. He has been given numerous awards from State level to National level. His most recent award was a designation of Padma Bushan by the government of India. Among his many other distinctions, he is designated as Shilpi Guru of India – highly esteemed teacher of this body of knowledge. He was the only living Shilpi Guru in the 20th and 21st century. This tribe, Vishwakarmas or Vishwabrahmins, has owned a unique body of technical literature called Vaastu Shastras, Sthapatya Veda, Pranava Veda and Aintiram for about 12,000 years. Within these texts are enshrined a science and technology that reveals two substances known as Vastu and Vaastu. Vastu is unmanifest subtle energy and Vaastu is gross energy as seen as the material world. These are depicted in Einstein’s equation E=mc2.

This entire body of knowledge is recognized as Mayonic Science and Technology, Vaastu Veda or Sthapatya Veda. Also rooted in this knowledge base is the Agamic literature. In his Srimat Bhagavatam Veda Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas, mentions Sthapatya Veda. Vyasa mentions that Sthapatya Veda is to be held as one of the Vedas apart from Rig (Rik), Yajur, Sama, and Atharva Veda.

This Sthapatya Veda has been in force from very ancient times in the name of Vaastu Shastras.

While at one time the Shilpis of Bharat had regional names for their clans, today they are united under a national association called Akhila Bharata Vishwakarma Mahajanasabha. In the past centuries these clan members thrived as the entire culture depended on the products of these artisans. They too created everything from cities to jewelry, pots and pans, and even home furnishings – all done in a specific mathematical order designed to bring peace to the owner. Today many of their functions have been taken over by pseudo Vaastu consultants who know little of the authentic tradition.

In addition to the traditional building and manufacturing arts, under the umbrella of Vaastu Science falls the five Fold Science: Poetry, Music, Dance, Sculpture, and Architecture which correspond with the traditional science of Iyal, Isai, Natam, Kattidam, and Sirpam in the Tamil tradition. In Sanskrit they are called Sabda Veda, Gandharve Veda, Natya Veda, Sthapatya Veda, and Pranava Veda. They are all governed by a unique grammar of r the science of Energy and Matter, Space and Time, and Rhythm and Form. The fundamental nature of these elements is revealed in the ancient text, The Pranava Veda. This is none other than the Science of manifestation. That is, the science of how the Infinite Energy (Vastu) transforms itself into matter or form (Vaastu).

Vaastu Temple – Part 2

The affect of these buildings built using principles from ancient texts called Vaastu Shastras and Agamas is so great that the eighteen enlightened Siddhas (18 Siddhars) of India are known to have become enlightened at various buildings such as these in South India. For example, the great seer Pantanjali, who wrote The Yoga Sutras, became enlightened at Rameswara Temple, and was also influenced by Chidambaram – both Vaastu temples in Tamil Nadu, India. Thirumular, the enlightened sage and author of Thirumaintiram, became enlightened at Chidambaram. The modern saint Maharishi Ramana spent days and nights for months at Thiruvanamallai temple prior to his enlightenment. And, in India, when a person is so ill that the doctors cannot treat them, they are sent to one of these buildings to stay until they get well – and they do for the most part. Vaastu Temple Cottage in New Mexico built by the author and AUM S&T students in 2008.

How is it that a building can create an identifiable change in the physiology and experience of an individual? We know that there are buildings that make us feel good and buildings that we can’t wait to get out of but how is it that these particular building have a repeatable and testable affect on people? There is an answer to these questions and that is what the Vastu and Vaastu Science is all about.

This is a Vaastu house and garage built with precision by Dr. Jessie Mercay in New Mexico. It is a modified New Mexico Territorial style. Vaastu Architect Betsy Pierce (AUM S&T student at the time) drafted the plans under the supervision of the author. Most styles of architecture can be adapted to Vaastu. Vaastu homes range from very simple forms (above) to complex mansions.

Aztec Canyon Temple Cottage mentioned in this introduction. Wall material is made of an eco board called Comfort Board. It is a fireproof and breathable material made of magnesium oxide (Mgo) and hemp fibers. The inside walls and ceiling are also Comfort board with a pyramidal interior ceiling. This form in ones backyard will serve to bring pure Vaastu energy to ones home setting. The feeling is almost indescribably peaceful and fulfilling. Most traditional building materials may be used to enclose space for Vaastu Architecture. This is the fundamental form and size of the magnificent Temples of India. Every home would benefit from one of these – even smaller than this would be an amazing addition to any family home site.

This is a more traditional looking home Temple Cottage built (summer and fall 2011) by AUM S&T students, which was supervised by Dr. Jessie Mercay and built with former AUM S&T student, Certified Vaastu Builder, Ken Hoffman in Patagonia, AZ. (Sponsored by Jackie and Ed Fleeder). The vibrancy of all of these buildings is significant and rivals any other existing Vaastu buildings. These are also available for homeowners who have space on their plot.

Vaastu Temple – Part 1

In a small and obscure red rock canyon in southern AZ called Aztec Canyon you can find a little metal roofed square building, which measures about 10’. x/32” by 10’. x/32 “ by 10’. x/32” in size, sitting amongst a forest of old black oak trees that are native to that land. (The mathematics are precise but not offered here because they are part of the ancient Vaastu Rahasya – secret of Vaastu – and can only be given by a Sthapati or his or her direct representative). The Temple Cottage, as it is called, was built-in the summer of 2010 by students from around the world who were studying an ancient building science called Mayonic Science and Technology, Sthapatya Veda or more popularly, Vaastu. Its’ construction was part of a 1-½ year program to become a certified Vaastu Consultants through the American University of Mayonic Science and Technology http://www.aumscience.com.

People who visit this building notice that it is simple, elegant and precisely built to 1/16th of an inch or better. More than that, they notice that there is an inexplicable feel to it that immediately brings a sense of peace, happiness and what some have called spiritual bliss. No matter what your mood might be upon entering this special building, you will feel elevated and at peace. It is an unmistakable feeling that has been scientifically verified through research conducted in this and similar buildings using state of the art equipment that measures something called heart coherence. http://www.heartmath.com

Heart coherence (the relative stability of the heart beat with more or less variability) has been demonstrated to indicate the level of stress in an individual and the subsequent state of their body, brain, emotions and consciousness. High heart coherence (low .. 2 heart rate variability) indicates a peaceful, blissful, connected state and low coherence indicates a restless stressed state with all of the biochemistry associated with that state. There are indications that heart coherence may be a more profound indicator of higher states of consciousness then research in brain wave patterns. Put simply, scientists are finding that the brain is not the commander – the mind of the heart is in fact the one who runs the show.

When one expects to feel something often they do – real or not. Science helps eliminate the collusion that happens so often in this age of crystals, chanting, and tarot cards. We now know that buildings such as these have an authentic and unmistakable positive affect on people. In the research that was conducted (Mercay and Hoffman, January and July 2010), individuals were measured before and during exposure to such a building (including this one). The results were clear – the subjects demonstrated a significant increase in heart coherence while being in these buildings. Their heart coherence doubled in every case. Subjectively they noted an increase in happiness, wellbeing, peacefulness and that subtle illuminating experience called spiritual bliss.

I remember taking an unsuspecting electrician into one of these small buildings a few years ago when I was building such a house and Temple Cottage for a family in New Mexico. He knew nothing about what I was doing. When he entered the Temple Cottage he said, “Wow I almost feel dizzy – it feels really good in here.” His words faded off as he stood blissfully in the Temple of Space Science as Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati calls them. On the same site, the county building inspector who came to inspect the much larger house being built on the same property using the same ancient principles turned around one day and said, “I don’t know what it is about this house – it looks like any other house – but there is something special going on here.”

Vaastu through the Arts – Part 2

Earlier we saw a definition of Vastu and Vaastu based upon a study of the roots of the words as below…

Vas: to shine; to grow bright, to bestow by shining upon, to cause to shine; to enter into, to dwell, becoming light, dawning, the seat or place of, an abiding substance or essence, the pith or substance of something, to cohabit with.

Vaas: to make fragrant or to perfume, an intoxicant, to be or make firm, dwelling place, to assume the appearance of, matter. (Cologne Lexicon)
Tu: One who changes his shape at will.

Vastu is that energy or force that lives eternally. It is never-ending and omnipresent.

In examining these definitions, we can see that Vastu is the seat of an abiding, shining luminous substance or essence (the essence of life). It has a quality of growing brightness and is the pith or substance that enters into and cohabits with that in which it dwells and that which dwells within it. It is the source of the material world yet it cohabits with the material world as Vaastu. It does not separate itself from the material world. In fact, the material world (Vaastu) exists within the body of Vastu. It changes its shape at will and becomes the innumerable forms of the material world and exists as Vaastus (all material forms).

Vaastu is that which assumes the appearance of matter. It makes firm or gives concrete shape to the place where it dwells. It makes fragrant that in which it dwells. That fragrance is the intoxicating spiritual bliss experienced by people who live in or visit a Vaastu structure, listen to Vaastu music or poetry, or view Vaastu sculpture and dance. Here we are speaking of authentically created and executed forms of these arts based on the ancient Shastras.

Authentic Vaastu or Mayonic arts that use the principles Mayan established brings forth this essence we call Vastu. This essence is luminous. It causes that which it enters to shine – glow. As it becomes Vaastu, that form which it enters – music, poetry, architecture etc., becomes fragrant with the light of Vastu – the light of consciousness. The listener, viewer, or inmate then becomes permeated with specific qualities of consciousness exhibited in the art. This results in an intoxicating experience of spiritual bliss.

This Mayonic Science/ Vaastu Science and Technology must live. Conscious people must take it as a personal responsibility to help it grow in their area of interest. It is the savior of the world, the balm for the suffering on the weary road of life. It brings enlightenment and spiritual bliss to those who partake of arts and architecture that demonstrate its principles.

From the pen of Santi – Deva a 14th century monk:

This Thought of Enlightenment…
it is an elixir made to destroy death in the world,
an unfailing treasure to relieve the world’s poverty,
a supreme balm to allay the world’s sickness,
a tree under which may rest all creatures wearied with wandering over life’s paths,
a bridge open to all wayfarers for passing over hard ways,
a moon of thought arising to cool the fever of the world’s sin,
a great sun driving away the gloom of the world’s ignorance,
a fresh butter created by the churning of the milk of the Good Law.

For the caravan of beings who wander through life’s paths hungering to taste of happiness, this banquette of bliss is prepared, that will satisfy all creatures coming to it.

Those of us who have supported, studied and applied this art and science bring this banquet of bliss to the world. Come join us. Build a Vaastu house, garden cottage or temple cottage, learn the application of Mayonic/Vaastu principles to the visual arts, or study Vaastu music. Support AUM S&T. Somehow participate in this great endeavor for the wellbeing of humanity.

The Swelling of Brahmam

The musician is poised for a moment over her sitar. Her attention is drawn to her source – her center point in the cave of her heart – Atman (Soul). She waits. In a moment, a swelling of consciousness begins as a vibration of the Brahma Sutra in her Atman. She translates that vibration into action as she strums the strings of her instrument. The music swells just as her Atman swells. The supreme bliss felt by the musician, as she becomes the bodily instrument of Brahmam is transferred through her music to the listener. She becomes the song of God. The listener becomes the song of God. Throughout her recital she strikes special micro notes that tap directly into the pulse of God that brings bliss to the listener. These srutis are received by the listener, transferred to the Atman of the listener, and the Atman of the listener begins to vibrate with Supreme bliss.

The poet pauses for a moment with his pen… The sculptor pauses for a moment with his chisel… The painter pauses for a moment with her brush…

When the artist knows the secrets of Vaastu science and arts then that artist becomes the bodily instrument for the swelling of consciousness and transfers that pulse or frequency into their art. The viewer or listener then shares in that unspeakable bliss. This was the art and music that lived world-wide in ancient days. One can experience bits and pieces of this through selections of Classical Indian music – particularly Carnatic music. Mozart seems to have struck a few blissful chords. Traditional Indian dance holds the secrets of a mathematical order. But music and dance today are pretty much bereft of access to these micro sounds called srutis. Dr. Veerapandian of SHASTRA University in Tanjore, India has decoded Mayan’s Aintiram in terms of what we call Mayonic music or Vaastu music with the hope of transforming music around the world for the well-being of humanity.

The sculptors of Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati’s stone yard strike these micro notes with their chisels in the form of the mathematical order of the stone they sculpt. Vaastu architects, consultants, and builders who are trained through the American University of Mayonic Science and Technology also strike the micro notes with the application of the precise measure called Ayadi to building architecture.

Learning to Practice Vaastu

———————————————————————————–

By Dr. Jessie Mercay

In ancient days, Mayan had an academy in which he taught through the Guru Kulam system – direct transmission of knowledge and experience from Guru or teacher to student. Over time Vaastu Shastras have traditionally only been taught to Vishwakarmans – father to child. It is indeed a privilege that Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati has taught this knowledge in an Academy like setting and has opened up the teaching and authorized Dr. Jessie Mercay to teach in an Academy setting much like Mayan.

Learning this knowledge is a serious and profound undertaking. It cannot be learned in a weekend workshop or even a few weeks. In addition to the technical knowledge that can be learned through lecture and texts, it is an internal process. It’s not only that the brain has to learn this knowledge. Rather, there must be a direct connection with Atman in the cave of the heart cultured in a specific way in order to fully understand this system. One may know the “rules” yet not understand a building plan or the knowledge in general on the level of frequency.

This understanding does not come from the intellect – it comes from direct contact with inner being. This is a higher level of knowing. The teacher must be able to help the student culture that “knowing” over time through specific methods of instruction. It is a process that requires experience and integration. The American University of Mayonic Science and Technology offers that experience and integration. There, the student researches the Primal Source and Force within. From this he or she, comes to understand the Force and to know the qualities of the Supreme Substance. Then and only then can the individual understand life according to Mayan.

Mayan says in the 16th verse of the Pranava Veda:

When those who are searching for the truth in a state of independence understand the force, technology, character and meaning of the knowledge hidden within the Ōm (Light and Sound), then they will acquire the complete knowledge of the five fold Veda.

Mayan indicates that seekers of Truth will find that Truth when they understand the hidden meaning and character of Om. This deep learning can only come from specific guidance through this body of knowledge by a teacher of the tradition. When that occurs, the full Veda will be understood in parts and as a whole.

Mayan also says (Vs. 20) that Pranava Veda and related Vedas guide the way for survival of earthial beings. This knowledge brings order to life and allows humans to exist in a state of harmony, prosperity, and bliss.

The American University of Mayonic Science and Technology invites you to learn this knowledge in the proper setting. You may take introductory one – week courses or the complete program just for the knowledge or you may take the Vaastu certification programs for lay people, architects, and builders. (aumcourses@aumscience.com) Your life will be changed forever.
