****************** It's easy to find a precise Brahmastan for a SthapathyaVed compliant house, but not so easy to define a precise point of the Brahmastan for a country, and probably not necessary. The idea of declaring a country's Brahmastan is probably just to give an acceptably central location for the influence of Vedic pundits performing ceremonies, so that evolutionary influence is equally radiated to all parts of the country -- a few miles one way or the other on the location won't make any difference. ------------------------ Yahoo!
