Skelmersdale, 28 November

This coming Friday, Britain¹s first public building designed according to

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda, the ancient Vedic system of building according to

natural law, will be opened in Skelmersdale by the Member of Parliament for

West Lancashire, Colin Pickthall.

 

Because the principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda offer an approach that

can deliver fully healthy buildings to enhance the success and well-being of

their occupants, the opening of the Maharishi School Woodley Park Centre for

Sports and Arts marks a significant step forward for successful urban

development and regeneration in Britain.

 

Construction of the new Centre has been partly funded by a generous

'Sportsmatch' grant from the Institute for Sports Sponsorship. This grant

matched donations from local and national companies, including slab-lifting

specialists Uretek. The project has also received donations from over 150

individuals, supplemented by discounted fees and voluntary work by many

building and other professionals.

 

Building the Woodley Park Centre was the inspiration of local parents who

sought sports facilities for their children, including those attending the

Maharishi School. This school incorporates into the national GCSE curriculum

the principles of Maharishi¹s Vedic Science, utilising systematic and

scientific knowledge to unfold the full potential of students. Pupils from

the school have consistently achieved GCSE results which place them at the

top of county league tables, and amongst the most successful in Britain as a

whole.

 

Healthy buildings

 

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda (MSV) is a precise and complete science for the

design and construction of buildings so as to create a completely healthy,

nourishing and positive effect: people around the world who are living and

working in Maharishi Sthapatya Veda buildings ­-- buildings that are in

'perfect Vastu' -- report greater energy and alertness, increased business

success, better health, and more enjoyable family life.

 

MSV includes precise requirements of direction, placement and proportion;

and advocates the maximum use of sunlight and natural building materials so

that being inside, one feels connected with the environment outside. The

Woodley Park Centre features the use of natural materials, including a roof

of laminated timber beams and pine boarding, and a sprung floor of maple.

The infill walls of the main hall are rammed earth, a traditional 'breathing

wall' technology, and are rendered on the inside with clay plaster.

 

Wider application

 

Civil engineer John Renwick of Partnership for Natural Building Design, who

has designed the Centre and supervised its construction, is confident that

interest in the principles of Maharishi Sthapatya Veda will increase with

the opening of the Woodley Park Centre.

 

'These principles can be applied to the planning of towns, regions, even

countries as a whole,' he says. 'They offer a reliable way to improve public

health, reduce crime, boost the economy, and create a better quality of

life.'

 

Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design and planning is being used worldwide for

private homes, corporate headquarters, and even whole communities. This

summer, Maharishi Vedic City - the USA¹s newest city - was incorporated in

Iowa and is using this system for town planning and construction throughout.
