The Vedapark Masterplan

The architects 'Fortune Creating Homes Ltd.' in Holland have designed this Masterplan for us:

Please note the following points:

1. The small green square in the center is called the Brahmastan, it can become a playing ground for children and a meeting place for adults, at the moment there is a small pond there as well
2. Here we have also placed a small school or kindergarten
3. The lake/wetland to the North is only a principled sketch; the final shape may differ. We also have another  design where the lake is divided in two, with the small brook flowing between. A third alternative is to have a considerable bigger wetland, which will also cover an area to the East outside of Vedapark. The size of the wetland will then vary with the water flow according to the season. The establishment of the lake/wetland as soon as possible, has very high priority
4. The cafe will have a beautiful view over the lake. Here it will be possible to join common meals every day
5. Therefore the individual homes should only need a small kitchenette, where you can prepare tea and a meal occasionally. It is good to Be together and eat together
6. The meditation halls are in the North East, which is the corner of the whole area that has the most powerful spiritual influence. - There will be big windows to the north, so when you open your eyes, you will glance an attractive lake and nature. 
7. In the NE corner you also notice some quite small houses. They are for guests who may be are on retreat. More of  such small dwellings may be built on other lots as well (are not shown in the plan)
8. The office/reception will be noticed immediately when visitors enter Vedapark from the East
9. There is a field for gardening east of the building sites, and a much larger field south of the main street going East-West (most of it is not covered by the map). The streets are all gravel streets, so no 'artificial' asphalt
10. We do hear the thoughts of some people: 'Oh, the houses are placed in 3 almost straight lines, they should be placed more, just here and there, that is more natural'? But we say 'Not so'. In Vaastu you apply symmetric designs, because at the deepest level of creation, there nature is symmetric, in perfect order and eternal. And the Masterplan and your house are meant to bring you back to your source deep within...There is an analogy to visualize: If you see a road or path winding through the landscape, it is certainly attractive. But there is a special attraction of another kind: When you walk along a straight avenue, in the countryside, with big trees on both sides, leading to the entrance of a beautiful mansion, this awakens a more transcendental experience.

Our final remark. The Masterplan is made of the most experienced Vastu architects in the western world. So we think we are in good hands.
