Thanks, Vaj. Still, we can't really discuss this with words. We need to start sketching maps on napkins or something. Because countries aren't square, I'm wondering how one accommodates those irregularities. How would I break India into a 9 x 9 square? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Where is Brahmasthan?
Take the longest width from east to west, and the longest height from north to south, divide each by nine. You'll end up with a rectangle. Bottom line is: the centre 3 x 3 square, the Brahmasthan, will cover a huge area--it's not a single point.On Jan 21, 2006, at 7:43 AM, Patrick Gillam wrote:Thanks, Vaj.

No interpretation of my post necessary, I said what I meant to say. One way or the other, whether MMY was born there or not, people will remember MMY when thinking of this project of the tallest building. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone other than MMY came up with the notion that this site is at the centre of India. Very likely people from this area have been speculating on this topic for generations. Nevertheless, having spotted the coincidence it would be interesting to determine whether Brahmasthan and Chichli have the same co- ordinates. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Premanand Paul Mason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The project of building the world's tallest building in the centre of India - Brahmasthan - is well publicised. http://showcase.netins.net/web/tkz/BigBldg/ According to this link, Brahmasthan is to be at the center of India, some '30 km northeast of Jabalpur, in the state of Madhya Pradesh'. It is documented that some few miles northeast of Jabalpur is/was the village Chichli, (near Gadawara) in Madhya Pradesh, some 150 kilometres east of Bhopal. The co-ordinates for Chichli are 22.83°N 78.82°E Chichli is said to be the birthplace of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Does anyone know the precise co-ordinates of the 'Brahmasthan' site? What Paul means to say here, I think, is that he suspects MMY has decided the Brahmastan of India is at his own birthplace. Did I interpret your post correctly, Paul? Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Where is Brahmasthan?
I wonder how one determines the location of a brahmastan. Do you balance the square meters of the surrounding countryside? Measure the linear feet? It mean nothing, really. I'm just feeling mathematical these days, I guess. Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Where is Brahmasthan?
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.On Jan 20, 2006, at 10:52 PM, Patrick Gillam wrote:I wonder how one determines the location of a brahmastan. Do you balance the square meters of the surrounding countryside?
