Bush gets some unorthodox advice The anti-war activists, Islamic believers, communists, and liberals should know that if the world is in a mess it is not the fault of Bush and Blair. It is because their offices face an inauspicious direction. A US-based quantum physicist has discovered the secret of world peace. All will be well if the south-facing entrances to the White House and 10 Downing Street are closed. He claims no credit for this discovery but attributes it to India’s unpatented traditional knowledge -- Vedic architecture. Dr John Hagelin, President of what he calls the US Peace Government, has told both Mr George Bush and Mr Tony Blair that they should close the south-facing entrances. This will be a stop-gap arrangement and later they must move to properly designed buildings. Improper design of government buildings promotes disorderly thinking and infighting, he says. Sceptics may say that the US has done quite well over the decades despite the White House entrance facing an inauspicious direction. But Dr Hagelin has perhaps the world’s welfare in mind. In fact, he wants all the leaders of wold to check their buildings. They should flee such buildings as if these have been hit by an earthquake, he says. Dr Hagelin says the south-facing entrances are having deleterious effects on their brain functioning and orderliness of thinking. If they shut these entrances, they will make wiser, more intelligent decisions for their people and the world. Dr Hagelin wants the Indian government to abandon the Parliament buildings in New Delhi because of their skewed entrances. Perhaps Dr Hagelin knows that the Indian Prime Ministers have been working in an office that does not face south, though it is called South Block. Dr Hagelin says “divisive and destructive government policies will become more coherent and harmonious overnight if government leaders live and work in buildings that are properly designed according to the principles of ancient Vedic architect are in harmony with natural law.” Bush and Blair may ignore this advice at their own peril at a time when they are not sailing smoothly. Dr Hagelin has urged government leaders to replace the old buildings with properly oriented, “fortune-creating” offices and residences that face the rising sun in the east. Such buildings will promote harmony and success for the government, and peace and prosperity for the nation. Dr Hagelin claims recent medical research shows a marked improvement in the efficiency of neuronal functioning when the head is oriented towards the east compared to the south. The positive effects of a proper eastern orientation on the brain and behaviour are being documented by science. He says Vedic architecture has been revived by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. About one billion dollars have been invested in the design and construction of Vedic homes and office buildings worldwide in the past decade. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi recently launched his Global Reconstruction Programme for Permanent World Peace, and is inviting builders in every country to immediately begin constructing in every city, Peace Colonies of homes and office buildings, as well as Peace Palaces to teach Transcendental Meditation. The advice to Mr Bush and Mr Blair is based on some research and not on mumbo-jumbo. Vedic architecture has already made a beginning and some users of the buildings have claimed a remarkable improvement in their well-being. The architects and builders, all followers of Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, present their work at professional organisations and are heard with great interest. They have been joined by some neuroscientists. According to architect Jonathan Lipman, Vedic architecture promotes well-being, health and success and makes the inhabitants feel more energetic and positive. Mr Lipman, chief architect of Maharshi Global Construction, told a gathering at the National Building museum recently that homes built on the principles of Vedic architecture become conduits of cosmic energy. Those who dwell in such houses are happy, healthy and at peace, he said while showing slides. A builder, Jeffrey Abramson, said his life changed when he moved to his new house designed as per the Vedic specifications. He and his wife practice Transcendental Meditation daily. “I felt my handcuffs had been taken off”. Mr Abramson is putting his money where his mouth is and building a 72-million dollar building project in Maryland, based on the Vedic principles. While this traditional wisdom has come from india, some in India tend to pooh-pooh things like Vedic mathematics. However, in America as the believers challenge the theory of evolution, there is a measure of acceptance of even "Christian physics". -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
