The key takeaways are the four main concepts of Vedic philosophy: seeking truth and immortality, true knowledge and consciousness, the battle between good and evil, and the one supreme power.

The four main ideas are: seeking after truth, immortality and light; true knowledge and consciousness; life is a battlefield between good and evil; and there is one supreme power.

The passage argues that Mayonic Science fulfills the constructs contained in the Vedas and that applying Vaastu Shastra is a means to fulfill the knowledge and goals of the Veda.

The
Fulfillment
of
the
Veda


Jessie
Mercay,
PhD


The
Vedas
are
revealed
scriptures
or
sacred
wisdom
handed
down
through
the
ages.
They
are

the
 fundamental
 text
 underlying
 much
 of
 Indian
 philosophy
 and
 in
 many
 ways,
 world

philosophy.
The
four
main
texts
called
Veda
(Rik,
Yajur,
etc.)
form
the
groundwork
for
ensuing

commentaries
 and
 revelations
 Upanishads
 and
 other
 texts
 that
 form
 the
 whole
 body
 of

literature
called
Vedas.



There
are
four
main
ideas
that
form
the
basis
of
Vedic
philosophy
and
spirituality.
These
ideas

are
 the
 foundation
 upon
 which
 many
 Indian
 and
 Western
 philosophers
 and
 spiritual
 teachers

have
built
and
supported
their
concepts
–
each
with
their
own
twist
on
the
four
concepts.


1.
 One
 main
 Vedic
 concept
 has
 to
 do
 with
 seeking
 after
 the
 attainment
 of
 the
 Truth,

Immortality
 and
 Light.
 The
 assumption
 underlying
 this
 concept
 is
 that
 there
 is
 a
 higher
 Truth

that
is
deeper
and
more
profound
than
the
truth
of
outer
existence;
there
is
a
light
greater
than

the
light
of
human
understanding
and
knowing;
and,
there
is
an
immortality
that
comes
with

uniting
with
the
Supreme
Godhead.

2.
There
is
true
Knowledge
and
true
Consciousness.

3.
The
journey
of
life
is
a
battlefield
with
the
Devas
and
the
Asuras
where
the
battle
between

good
and
evil
takes
place.
We
humans
must
summon
the
Devas
to
help
us
destroy
the
darkness

that
overcomes
the
light.

4.
 There
 is
 One
 Reality
 –
 The
 One
 Supreme
 Power.
 By
 invoking
 the
 One,
 we
 are
 aided
 in
 our

journey
to
overcome
darkness,
find
Truth,
and
experience
the
Light.


These
precepts
were
revealed
through
various
hymns.
The
hymns
were
placed
in
collections
or

Samhitas
 based
 upon
 their
 focus.
 The
 hymns
 that
 were
 primarily
 focused
 on
 prayer
 and

dedication
to
the
gods
were
placed
together
in
the
Rik
mantra
Samhita
(Rig
Veda
–
compiled
by

Paila
under
the
guidance
of
Vyasa).
The
Rig
Veda
is
thought
to
be
the
oldest
of
the
Vedas.
All

the
other
Vedas
are
based
upon
it
and
consist
to
a
large
degree
of
various
hymns
from
it.



The
 Rig
 Veda
 (or
 Rik
 Veda
 as
 it
 is
 also
 called)
 consists
 of
 a
 thousand
 hymns
 with
 each
 hymn

averaging
around
ten
verses.
Each
hymn
is
noted
with
a
Rishi,
Deity
and
meter.
The
Rig
Veda
is

the
book
of
Mantra.
It
contains
the
oldest
generally
known
form
of
all
the
Sanskrit
mantras.
It
is

said
to
be
built
around
a
science
of
sound
that
comprehends
the
meaning
and
power
of
each

letter.
Most
aspects
of
Vedic
science
like
the
practice
of
yoga,
meditation,
mantra
can
be
found

in
the
Rig
Veda
and
still
use
many
terms
that
come
from
it.


Hymns
 that
 were
 chanted
 during
 social
 functions
 and
 religious
 ceremonies
 were
 compiled
 by

Vaisampayana
and
called
the
Yajus
mantra
Samhita
(Yajur
Veda).
The
Yajur
Veda
viewed
from
a

surface
 perspective
 is
 the
 Veda
 of
 ritual.
 On
 an
 inner
 level,
 it
 sets
 forth
 yogic
 practice
 for

purifying
the
mind
and
awakening
the
inner
consciousness.
It
was
the
primary
Veda
used
by
the

priests
 in
 ancient
 India
 and
 has
 much
 in
 common
 with
 the
 Egyptian
 Book
 of
 the
 Dead.
 The

purpose
of
the
ritual
is
to
put
together
and
recreate
within
our
selves
the
Cosmic
Person
‐


1

Indra.
The
ritual
is
used
to
recreate
the
universe
within
our
own
psyche
and
thereby
unite
the

individual
 with
 the
 Universal.
 Its
 series
 of
 sacrifices
 culminate
 in
 the
 Atmayajna
 or
 the
 self‐
sacrifice
wherein
the
ego
is
offered
up
to
the
Divine.


Vedic
hymns
that
were
set
to
music
and
poetry
are
said
to
have
been
compiled
by
Jaimini
and

were
 called
 Saman
 or
 Sama
 Veda.
 The
 Sama
 Veda
 is
 the
 Yoga
 of
 Song.
 It
 consists
 of
 various

hymns
of
the
Rig
Veda
put
to
a
different
and
more
musical
chant.
Hence
the
text
of
the
Sama

Veda
is
a
reduced
version
of
the
Rig
Veda.


Sumantu
compiled
the
fourth
collection
of
hymns,
the
Atharva
mantra
Samhita
(Atharva
Veda)

are
hymns
pertaining
to
incantations,
magic,
certain
aspects
of
healing
and
other
related
topics.

While
some
do
not
accept
this
as
a
fourth
Veda,
it
none‐the
less‐
is
an
important
and
ancient

collection
 of
 hymns.
 Interestingly
 enough
 Atharvan
 is
 also
 an
 important
 figure
 in
 the

Zoroastrian
 religion.
 Atar
 is
 the
 Persian
 name
 for
 fire
 and
 the
 Atharvan
 is
 the
 fire
 priest.
 The

deities
of
the
Atharva
Veda
are
also
the
same
as
the
Rig
Veda
although
Rudra‐Shiva
assumes
a

more
visible
role.


Over
 time,
 the
 compilations
 of
 these
 Samhitas
 were
 followed
 by
 visionary
 commentary
 and

explanation
in
an
effort
to
create
more
understanding
of
the
fundamental
hymns.
These
are
the

texts
that
make
up
the
rest
of
the
body
of
literature
called
Vedas.


The
 original
 hymns
 of
 the
 Veda
 were
 said
 to
 have
 been
 cognized
 or
 revealed
 by
 sages
 called

Rishis
or
Rikshas.
The
Veda
itself
reveals
the
source
of
Vedic
knowledge:
Richo
akshare
parame

vyoman
–
“the
riks
abide
in
the
immutable
supreme
Space
(parame
vyoman)
where
are
seated

all
the
Devas
or
luminaries.
Rig
Ved
1.164.39.
The
term
riksha
or
rishi
comes
from
the
concept

of
the
Riks
as
the
source
of
the
Veda.
The
Rishi
or
Riksha
is
the
seer
or
revealer
of
this
truth.

The
Rig
Veda
or
Rik
Veda
derives
its
name
from
this
term
also.


There
 has
 been
 a
 general
 habit
 of
 translating
 the
 Rik
 Veda
 without
 full
 understanding
 of
 the

technical
 significance
 of
 some
 of
 the
 terms.
 With
 our
 knowledge
 of
 Pranava
 Veda,
 Mayonic

Science
and
Vaastu
Shastras
we
can
begin
to
understand
the
Vedas
more
deeply.


The
Rishi
Mayan
is
the
original
Rishi
of
all
of
the
Veda.
The
Rishi,
Mayan,
cognized
or
perceived

the
 revelation
 of
 wisdom
 from
 this
 plane
 and
 transcribed
 it
 into
 verses
 or
 mantras
 with

appropriate
 words/
 sounds
 and
 meters.
 The
 process
 of
 transformation
 of
 the
 revelation
 into

verse
is
mentioned
in
many
mantras
or
verses
of
the
Rig
Veda.
For
example
RV
9.114.2
says,


“They
 (rishis)
 chanted
 the
 mantras
 carved
 out
 of
 the
 heart.
 This
 carving
 out
 of
 the
 heart
 is

actually
 putting
 boundaries
 or
 confining
 the
 impulses
 or
 waveforms
 that
 exist
 in
 Atman
 or

Brahmam
–
the
Riks.

Synonyms
for
carved
are
engraved
and
imprinted.

The
term
carved
in
this

context
then
implies
that
the
Rishis
chanted
hymns
that
were
imprinted
in
their
heart.


Certain
members
of
the
Vishwakarma
tradition
hold
that
Mayan
chanted
the
Pranava
Veda
and

other
mantras
and
his
incantations
were
memorized
in
a
piecemeal
fashion
by
people
serving

him
and
his
yagyas
–
basically
fire
tenders
and
janitors.
If
we
take
the
perspective
that
this
is


2

true,
then
we
can
view
hymns
of
the
Veda
in
an
entirely
different
light
then
other
scholars.
In

other
 words,
 we
 can
 understand
 technical
 meanings
 of
 various
 hymns
 and
 apply
 that

understanding
to
the
overall
main
concepts
of
the
Veda.


Mayan
(circa
10,000
B.C.)
perceived
One
Being,
One
Source
of
all.
He
may
be
the
most
ancient

source
 of
 the
 knowledge
 of
 On
 Supreme
 Being.
 
 His
 concept
 that
 there
 was
 one
 Reality
 is

echoed
in
all
of
the
Veda
and
is
one
of
the
four
primary
concepts
of
the
Veda
(Points
1.
and

4.

above).


He
perceived
that
within
that
one
reality
all
knowledge
and
all
possibilities
exist.
He
saw
that

The
One
Reality
was
is
love
with
its
own
beauty
(that
being
the
beauty
of
its
infinite
potential)

and
It
wants
to
savor
or
experience
that
Beauty.
In
its
desire
to
do
that
It
began
manifesting
Its

beauty
within
itself.
The
first
stage
of
the
manifestation
is
pulse
or
Absolute
Time
(also
called

frequency).




As
 pulse
 occurs,
 OM
 Light
 is
 emanated
 within
 the
 body
 of
 It
 –
 Consciousness
 (which
 by
 its

nature
is
luminous).
This
is
the
Light
spoken
of
in
the
Veda
(Points
1.
and

4.
above).
As
light

moves
in
pulse,
Sound
occurs.
This
Light
is
not
mentioned
directly
as
OM
Light
but
it
is
referred

to
in
the
Veda.
Sound
is
referred
to
directly
as
OM.

This
important
point
brings
out
the
idea

that
 the
 knowledge
 of
 Mayan
 in
 the
 Pranava
 Veda
 was
 not
 fully
 understood
 and
 replicated

piecemeal
in
the
other
Veda.


From
light
and
sound
primeval
gleams
of
Light
microforms
are
produced.
These

microforms
are
called
Riks
or
Devas/Luminaries
(The
Riks:
Primeval
Gleams
of

Light
and
Life;
T.
Paramasiva
Iyer,
Bangalore,
1911).
These
Luminaries
are
the

very
same
luminaries
annotated
within
the
padas
or
modules
of
the
Vaastu
Purusha
Mandala.



It
is
these
Luminaries
or
Riks
that
contain
the
knowledge
of
The
One
or
the
Divine
as
stated
in

the
hymn
Richo
akshare
parame
vyoman
–
“the
riks
abide
in
the
immutable

supreme
Space
(parame
vyoman)
where
are
seated
all
the
Devas
or
luminaries.

Rig
Ved
1.164.39.

The
Vaastu
Purusha
Mandala
is
nothing
other
than
a
diagram
of
the
Supreme

Space.

It
is
Space
or
Consciousness
(Brahmam)
that
has
divided
itself
or
individuated
itself
into

eighty‐one
units
called
pada
devatas
or
Luminaries
–
Riks.


It
is
these
Luminaries
or
Devas
that
we
must
summon
to
over
come
the
darkness
that
overlays

the
Light
of
Consciousness
(point
3.
above).

We
do
this
by
summoning
the
One
Reality
–
the

Riks
 follow.
 This
 is
 what
 we
 do
 in
 the
 Vaastu
 Puja.
 We
 summon
 the
 One
 Reality
 –
 Vaastu

Purusha
and
the
Luminaries
awaken
within
the
Vaastu
Purusha
Mandala.



The
 fundamental
 crux
 of
 Vastu
 Science
 and
 Vaastu
 Science
 and
 Technology
 is
 that
 Mayan

perceived
that
there
is
one
force,
one
fundamental
first
Principle
from
which
all
life
emerges,

and
 in
 which
 all
 life
 resides
 and
 ultimately
 returns
 to
 in
 its
 Primal
 state
 of
 Pure
 Energy.
 
 He

named
 this
 principle
 Brahmam.
 
 He
 saw
 that
 Brahmam
 (Absolute
 Space,
 Consciousness,

Potential
 Energy)
 by
 its
 own
 initiative,
 goes
 through
 a
 specific
 process
 to
 transform
 and


3

manifest
itself
as
the
material
world
and
its
objects
–
Kinetic
energy.

Mayan
perceived
that
the

process
 was
 accomplished
 through
 a
 mathematical
 order
 and
 that
 that
 order
 could
 be

replicated
by
humans
to
unfold
specific
qualities
of
Brahmam
that
would
vibrate
in
a
form
that

brought
 health,
 happiness
 and
 spiritual
 bliss
 to
 those
 who
 partook
 in
 that
 form.
 
 That
 form

could
be
dance,
poetry,
music,
sculpture,
or
architecture.


Building
a
Vaastu
house,
temple
or
other
structure
is
a
direct
concretization
of
summoning
The

One
 –
 Brahmam
 and
 the
 Luminaries.
 This
 form
 then
 helps
 us,
 through
 the
 principle
 of

resonance
 or
 Bhakti,
 to
 overcome
 the
 darkness
 that
 obscures
 our
 inner
 Divine
 Light.
 As
 this

occurs,
 true
 knowledge
 is
 revealed
 to
 us
 ‐
 “He
 who
 is
 awake,
 the
 Rikshas
 seek
 him
 out.”
 (Rig

Veda).


This
principle
of
resonance
is
a
key
idea
developed
by
Mayan.

The
principle
is
simple:

we
build

a
 building
 that
 conforms
 with
 the
 Cosmic
 pattern
 of
 the
 transformation
 of
 energy

(consciousness)
into
matter
(material
world)
as
articulated
in
Pranava
Veda
and
Vaastu
Shastras

and
the
Luminaries
will
awaken
in
that
built
space.




Because
 that
 space
 is
 built
 using
 the
 Cosmic
 order
 or
 Mayonic
 Order,
 it
 will
 become
 a
 living

Being
and
vibrate
with
specific
qualities
of
the
Divine
articulated
through
the
building
codes
put

forth
by
Mayan.

When
a
person
enters
that
building
(or
is
near
that
building)
the
inner
being
of

the
 person
 begins
 to
 vibrate
 in
 the
 same
 frequency
 as
 the
 building.
 
 Just
 as
 the
 Riks
 or

Luminaries
reveal
their
selves
within
the
built
space
due
to
the
application
of
Mayan’s
building

codes,
they
also
reveal
their
selves
within
the
inner
space
of
the
individual.



"...If
a
part
of
free
space
is
isolated
and
confined
into
a
four
walled
structure
called
a
building,
it



becomes
a
living
organism
and
the
space
enclosed
will
start
vibrating
in
a
particular
order.

If

such
a
building
is
designed
to
vibrate
in
the
same
numerical
order
as
that
of
the
indweller,
the

resultant
 phenomenon
 is
 that
 he
 will
 experience
 harmony
 or
 perfect
 union
 with
 the
 Universal

Self..."



Dr.
V.

Ganapati
Sthapati


"The
 embodied
 energy
 is
 Vaastu
 Purusha
 Mandala
 or
 the
 Creative
 Essence
 made
 manifest
 on

the
 physical
 plane.


 The
 space
 enclosed
 in
 a
 building
 is
 Praasaada
 Purusha
 Mandala
 or

"energized
 building."

 Such
 a
 building
 is
 a
 living
 organism
built
 of
 musical
 units
 of
 measure.


These
 units
 correspond
 with
 the
 primal
 vibrations
 of
 the
 cosmos
 itself."
 Brahmarishi
 Mayan,





circa
10,500
BC


"In
 the
 heart
 of
 the
 cave
 of
 the
 body
 there
 is
 inner
 space
 and
 in
 that
 inner‐space
 there
 is
 a

vibrant
thread
of
consciousness.

It
is
this
thread
of
consciousness
that
functions
as
the
musical

string
of
the
bodily
instrument.


The
 structure
 of
 the
 vaastu
 inspired
 building
 vibrates
 with
 cosmic
 energy
 and
 the
 bodily

instruments
resonates
with
this
vibration.

To
create
and
offer
the
house
of
supreme
bliss,
and

to
enable
us
to
experience
that
supreme
bliss
here
in
this
mundane
house
itself
‐
these
are
the

prime
motives
of
Vaastu
science"
 
 Dr.
V.

The
 famous
 Vedic
 mantra,
 “He
 who
 is
 awake,
 the
 Rikshas
 seek
 him
 out”
 has
 also
 been

translated
as:
"The
Vedic
mantras
are
in
the
never‐decaying
remotest
Space,
wherein
the
Devas

(Luminaries)
reside.
One
who
does
not
know
that,
what
will
he
do
with
the
Vedic
mantras?
One

who
knows
that,
the
Devas
stay
with
him
(seek
him)."
(Rig
Veda
1.164.39)


The
unveiling
of
this
knowledge
and
experience
of
Light
through
the
Riks
via
the
application
of

Mayan’s
 building
 codes,
 unites
 us
 with
 the
 Supreme
 and
 our
 seeking
 after
 the
 attainment
 of

Truth,
Immortality,
and
Light
is
fulfilled
(point
1.
above).




As
we
come
to
understand
the
cognitions
of
Mayan,
we
find
that
our
identity
with
the
material

becomes
more
fully
understood
to
be
in
actuality
identity
with
the
Spiritual
because
the
entire

material
 world
 is
 simply
 a
 frequency
 of
 Consciousness
 within
 the
 body
 of
 Consciousness
 or

Brahmam.
There
is
in
fact
no
illusion.
Everything
is
Consciousness
itself.
The
material
world
is
a

fluctuation
of
primal
Light
and
Sound
in
the
body
of
Consciousness.
Thus,
we
can
say
that
the

Veda
 is
 a
 verification
 of
 the
 knowledge
 found
 in
 Pranava
 Veda
 and
 the
 application
 of
 Vaastu

Shastra
is
the
means
to
the
fulfillment
of
the
knowledge
and
goals
of
the
Veda.


As
 Vaastu
 consultants,
 it
 is
 our
 obligation
 to
 modify
 human
 thought
 regarding
 Brahmam,

spirituality,
Vastu,
Vaastu,
and
building
architecture
of
Sthapatya
Veda.
We
must
promote
the

teachings
 of
 Mayan
 as
 articulated
 in
 the
 Aintiram,
 Pranava
 Veda,
 Mayagama,
 Mayamata
 and

texts
given
to
us
by
Dr.
V.
Ganapati
Sthapati,
Vaastu
Vyasa.
We
must
gain
a
facile
and
plastic

intellect
that
can
hold
a
broad
range
of
ideas
that
encompass
the
principles
of
how
the

Unmanifest
 Brahmam
 unfolds
 itself
 in
 the
 immaterial
 and
 material
 worlds.
 We
 must
 gain
 the

skill
to
use
the
intrinsic
order
to
build
buildings
that
Consciousness
itself
uses
to
build
Life
itself.


The
main
constructs
contained
in
the
Veda
mentioned
earlier
in
this
paper
are
fulfilled
through

Mayonic
Science
and
Technology.
As
we
propagate
this
theme,
we
must
understand
the
import

of
our
work
and
remain
faithful
to
the
purity
of
the
teaching.


They
indeed
were
comrades
of
the
gods,

Possessed
of
Truth,
the
poets
of
old:

The
fathers
found
the
hidden
light

And
with
true
prayer
brought
forth
the
dawn.
(VII,
76,
4)
(Rig
Veda)


It
 is
 our
 duty
 as
 those
 who
 are
 now
 possessed
 of
 Truth
 to
 propagate
 the
 knowledge
 of
 the

hidden
light
and
through
true
prayer
(Bhakti,
resonance)
bring
forth
the
dawn.
