"We have found a pronounced improvement in support of nature since building our Maharishi Sthapatya Veda home. It's just a very practical, down-to-earth support for everything we do."
"During the process of building the house, we would run up against what seemed like insurmountable obstacles and suddenly they would disappear as if they had never been there. We got used to insurmountable problems vanishing like a mirage."
"I've noticed that in my work life everything is more evolutionary. It's just faster. The growth is faster."
"It's a very intense emotional experience to build this kind of house. You need a certain amount of patience and a certain amount of determination because it's not going to be a cakewalk, but it's absolutely worth it in the end."
"We feel really good that we've done something good for ourselves and our environment."
"When people come into the house, they don't like to leave. They'll stand in the doorway for half an hour. That may not sound like a big thing, but when everyone starts doing it, you notice."
"People walking by never just walk by. They stop and look and discuss and point. The symmetry of the design is inherently appealing. I think people are attracted to it and don't know why."
"You have to be practical but you are likely to experience some good support from nature when you are involved in this kind of project. Don't assume it but don't be surprised if it happens. That was our experience."
"If you can find a good lot and a good builder, then most of your obstacles to building a MSV home are gone. Our builder was fabulous and learned as much as he could about Maharishi Sthapatya Veda architecture so that he could do a thorough job."
"Because light shines all the way through the house from all sides, in late afternoon you find you're just bathed in golden, celestial light. No part of the house is dark. A Maharishi Sthapatya Veda house is a bright house. The light kind of catches your breath."
"You can see the light changing through the day and through the seasons. It's far more apparent than in a regular house. Nature is more at your fingertips."
"The most important benefit to me is that it is an actual technique for enlightenment. You know that you have structured Natural Law within. Your nervous system is being allowed to function more in accord with Natural Law. You know that you've done something real to support your evolution."
"Take the first steps toward building your own MSV house and see what is possible. I would never have dreamed that we would have been able to build a house that cost as much as this one did and yet it actually happened. Sometimes when you do take those first few steps, you do get support. Test the waters and see what happens."
