Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design is one of the 40 disciplines of Maharishi Vedic Science*.

The Sanskrit word Sthapan means to establish and Veda means knowledge of Natural Law. So Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design is the science of establishing the knowledge of harmony with nature in architecture.

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced the Transcendental Meditation^® program to the world 40 years ago and has now brought the knowledge of Natural Law to every area of life, including architecture, government, health, education, defense, and management.

When discussing the simple rules of Maharishi Vedic architecture, Maharishi commented:

"If these rules are not followed, the thinking of the people will not be in accord with the evolutionary direction of Natural Law - and they will create problems for themselves and others. The architect who designed a capital building in a country may be renowned, but if the orientation - Vastu - is crooked, it will produce problems for the government."
