1. According to Maharishi Vastu architecture, what are the characteristics of an ideal community/city?

1 point

The city is organized around a central square.

The streets are laid out on a grid, aligned with the cardinal directions (north-south, east-west).

The buildings face east or north.

The scale of the city remains “walkable”, so that key elements to life are all within a short walk for everyone.

It is a garden community, with lots of flowers visible to everyone.

There is local food production, available to everyone, with organic vegetables, nut trees, etc.

The community is surrounded by a green border, such as a forest.

The city is entered primarily from the east and north.

4 Why does Maharishi Vastu architecture use the cardinal direction of true north, rather than magnetic north?

1 point

True north changes along with changes to magnetic north.

True north points to the location of a large subterranean deposit of ferrous earth.

True north is the point on the surface of the earth around which the axis of the spherical earth rotates.

Because compasses that point to magnetic north aren’t always reliable.
