Building A MSV Home
Site Evaluation
There are many factors involved in determining whether a
site is suitable for a Maharishi Sthapatya Veda building
- factors such as orientation and shape of the land, slope
of the land, proximity to water bodies and other influences
in the vicinity of the land. The influence of the rising
sun is also very important.
In Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design, the land immediately
around the building is an integral, essential part of the
dwelling as a whole. The building and land around it are
enclosed by a square or rectangular fence known as a Vastu
fence, which is oriented to the true cardinal directions.
When you are searching for a building site, make sure that
you will be able to orient your house and fenced Vastu area
to true east, or secondarily to true north, to accommodate
an east (or north) entrance to your Vastu and building.
If you do not have access to maps that show the true cardinal
directions for the land you are considering, you can estimate
true north with a compass for these preliminary purposes.
To do this you will need to know the local deviation of
magnetic north from true north and correct the compass reading
accordingly. You can access a Magnetic
North Calculator at this website.
Another factor to consider when determining true cardinal
directions with a compass is that the compass reading can
be distorted by metal objects (watches and glass frames,
etc.) or iron-ore in the ground. A compass reading is not
at all reliable inside cars or buildings that contain reinforced
concrete.
If there is any doubt about the magnetic deviation, consult
an experienced local surveyor or an aviation map.
A Sunrise Delay Calculator and other resources can be found
at the Maharishi
Vedic Architecture website.

Sthapatya Veda design can be applied to any style of architecture
and most building systems. In North America we have seen
successful MSV projects using standard wood frame construction,
concrete tilt-up construction, timber frame, factory built,
as well as straw bale and other green technologies.
A Maharishi Sthapatya Veda designed home can create an
influence of good health, happiness, family harmony and
enlightenment. Everyone should be able to live in a fortune-creating
home and receive the daily support of Natural Law
