Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Where is Brahmasthan?

[Vaj]

It should be within the rather broad definition of the vastu-purusha mandala's centremost square--a 3 X 3 magic square at the center of the 9 x 9 square. The Brahmasthan is the 3 X 3 sqaure at the center--and consequently covers a broad area. What are the limits of this square would depend on what is the easternmost point in India and the most western point--same with the north and south. However, as a geologist and cartographer I can also tell you that the earth ain't that simple, it resembles a sphere (but is actually a spheroid) and therefore relies more on spherical geometry. If you could then "rubbersheet it" to it's spheroidal dimensions specific for India, you might have something. Or might not.

Measure the  linear feet? It mean nothing, really. I'm just  feeling mathematical these days, I guess.
