ARQUITECTURA VEDICAII

<http://washingtontimes.com/national/20050824-115157-5759r.htm> Inside the Beltway By John McCaslin August 25, 2005 Call an architect We think we've figured out the reason President Bush and Democrats don't see eye-to-eye, why gasoline prices have skyrocketed, why Social Security is threatened with extinction and why the war in Iraq isn't going any smoother. The main entrances to the White House face north and south -- not east. Spiritual leader Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is calling on Mr. Bush and other world leaders to examine the layout of all government buildings in their countries. He says a proper entrance to the east will bring harmony and success to the government, while an improper entrance to the south -- Mr. Bush greets all visiting heads of state at the south door to the White House -- or west will be the unseen cause of a great deal of governmental problems, unrest and failures. "People do not know that a greater part of the negative influences in life comes from the wrong layout of the buildings in which they live and work," the Maharishi says. "This is because the direction of the entrance of the office building or residence produces an influence of happiness, harmony and cordiality -- or conflict and problems for the people." For this reason, he urges leaders to abandon all improperly designed buildings -- "as if an earthquake had hit the buildings." "These buildings should be immediately rebuilt with a proper layout and orientation to the rising sun in the east," the maharishi advises. He also cites scientific research documenting how brain neurons fire more coherently when a person faces east, and that "is the basis of how coherently he thinks and behaves."
