The Ancient Science of Vastu-II, Manushyalaya Chandrika

By -

 Writing a book is a dream for many and with my guru's grace I could accomplish it the second time too. 

I design my book covers and really love this part of my work. I used to draw a lot when I was a child, but because of conditioning of my mind this talent got suppressed. But now I am able to fulfill my deepest desire of creating things. I love my book covers and would like to share why's of my designs.

Book Cover Design for book 2- "The Ancient Science of Vastu-II, The Manushyalaya Chandrika."

The design of the book cover is one of the integral parts of the book writing process. This creates the first impression on the readers about the content of the book. We as teamwork very hard to design the cover page with artisanship. We at Heofon Experience always keep a blend of the modern era with ancient principles in mind while designing every aspect of our structures.

Front cover

The first book of this series, “The Ancient Science of Vastu- 1” was very well received among our readers.  For this book which is part 2 of our series, we are giving finer details of the cover design:

Sub title-The Manushyalaya Chandrika Retold: This is a translation of the ancient text with our narration and commentary, hence the word RETOLD in the title. The authors have also added practical examples of the concepts from their vast experience in this field.

The Main title-The Ancient Science of Vastu-II: We will be launching a series of scriptures in the coming years.  Part 1 was a scripture narrated by Lord Vishwakarmaji.  Part 2 is Manushyalaya Chandrika and the original author of this book is Sri Thirumangalath Neelakanthan Musath. We took this book next in our series is because our Guru held the non-translated version. We took that as a sign from the Universe. Next is Granth RajBallabh as I, Jayshree Om, saw the Sapt Rishi Mandala in my dream. A mention of this constellation is present in the scripture.

Mandala: If observed closely, one can see a white light mandala with a glow. Mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols. The mandala shown here is drawn by Dr. Jayshree Om and now adorns the east wall of Sri Manoj Singhal’s office. She learnt this art from Harshita Dakoju, her close friend.  This mandala represents the Sun. If we notice closely, the Vastu Purush is also a Mandala. The left side of the figure is a replica of the right side. All Yantras are a mandala, as they are always symmetrical. Even while designing any structure, we must make sure they are cut at a 90-degree angle and must form a Mandala.

This Mandala adorns the east wall of Sri Manoj Singhal's office. He is the architect who has helped me apply the ancient verses to modern architecture. Manoj sir's contribution goes beyond words.

Padvinyas: On top of the mandala readers can see a white circular pattern. This is a calculation of dividing the area into cells. These cells manifest energy as per the five elements of nature in tune with the rotation and revolution of the Sun. This is a highly scientific and effective way of bifurcating land. On the cover page, we have taken an 81*81 cell division where the area is represented by 45 energies. This is a symmetrical and geometric calculation symbolic of a mandala.

Dots: The yellow dots on top of the padvinyas represent auspicious entrances. The red dot represents the Bindu, the point from where creation begins… the energy which is manifested in the form of Brahma or Adyashakti.

Spine: Orange is used to break the monotony of the brown shade. If observed minutely, one can see a small white compass beside the title.

Back cover

The Sanskrit verse: The verse used is from this scripture itself, Chapter 1 v 15. The original author believes that work must be done as per Vidhi Vidhaan or with due procedures.

The Koot: The figure is of the tip of the Spire or Shikhar. It's called a central hub.

Write up: Brief on the book and authors.

Background: The Background is an aerial view of a city, and the kut gives a feeling of a drone or satellite flying over it. This is a modern representation of the ancient methods used to arrive at the exact land shape and orientation of a particular site. It’s all science and based on mathematical calculations. This is a very important aspect, as per #vedicvastu.

Book: Bottom left corner, readers can see a miniature book. This is our first book, which was #1 bestseller in the architecture genre on Amazon. The audience well appreciated the book, hence we will come out with a series of publications of many other vastu scriptures.

Barcode and ISBN: The book has an exclusive ISBN code and bar code which is mostly printed on the right corner

 My Childhood Days When I was a six-month-old child, a weak, fragile and mollycoddled me happily played with my grandmother, unaware of who I was with. I was born with poor health, and my mom had to leave me with my grandma for better care. Barely a year old, I was taken away by my paternal uncle to Kathmandu. He named me Jayshree, and I am very grateful to him for this name. I love to hear greetings like, “Jayshree Hari”, “Jayshree Ram”, or “Jayshree Krishna”.  Like any other child, I spent my childhood days drawing the most common scenery which had mountains, rivers, coconut trees and a small hut beside a river. Every evening, I would visit the Ganesh temple, and offer fresh flowers to the deity. When we had guests, I would have the privilege of paying homage to Lord Shiva at Pashupatinath, Lord Vishnu’s temple at Budhanilkantha Temple, and other Hindu deities at Bhaktapur and Patan. These were my early childhood memories of the Sanatana Dharma. Studying at a convent school, the sis

  "Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it." - Maya Angelou Can you Manifest through Surya Namaskar? PUZZLED!!! You must be thinking that Surya Namaskar is just a Yoga technique and not Aladdin's magic lamp..., my dear friends, you are in for a surprise!!! I am going to tell you how I was taught to make Surya Namaskar my GENIE... HUKUM MERE AAKA!!! But before that, I am going to share my personal journey on how we turned the tables with Surya Namaskar. Yes, you are reading it right.  Can we manifest our desires from this simple technique? Can we tune our energies with The Universe with this simple sutra (formula)? Let me explain how, when, where, why along with my personal journey. Jan 2012, on my birthday I got a gift from my hubby, 'an exit paper'. We had lost our new factory to our partners. With nothing in the pocket and all our investments down the drain, it left us devastated. This whole bankruptcy put our lives in turmoil. With zero bank balance and

Astamangal

  An incredible auspicious yantra since time immemorial. Asthamangala is a specially designed and energized brass plate with embossed insignia of 8 holy symbols. The mention of this Yantra or Amulet is found in many Vedic texts. A mention can be found in our Vastu scripture of Sanatana dharma, namely Mayamat by Rishi Maya Muni, Chapter 12-Garbhavinyas, Verses 34-36. He has asked to place this symbol plate under the threshold. In ancient times, this was carved on gold for the kings and used as an important ingredient for the Garbhvinyas vidhi. Garbha means- womb and vinyas means procedure. Garbhavinyas means energizing of the land, which is done by placing auspicious items below the floor.  The Ancient Shastra describes Asthamangala as ... ~A highly auspicious yantra which brings immense success, wealth, and happiness to the user. ~Astha means eight and Mangala means auspicious. This yantra is mentioned in all major subcontinental religions, like Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. ~Eight
