Embarking into the Cosmos: Unraveling Vastu Purusha Mandala
Enter the profound realm of Vastu Purusha Mandala – a cosmic blueprint that unveils the essence of both manifest and unmanifest worlds. With simplicity at its core, let’s delve into the heart of this ancient science.
In its most basic form, Vastu Purusha Mandala is a blueprint that encompasses all dimensions – from the unseen to the seen. In its one-dimensional state, it assumes a square form, while in three dimensions, it transforms into a sacred cube. This very geometry mirrors the shape of Consciousness itself, a canvas where the universe paints its story.
Contained within this sacred structure are echoes of its own design – smaller replications known as cells, modules, or padas. These elements whisper of even tinier particles dwelling within, an intricate dance of cosmic intricacies.
From the heart of creation springs the frequency of the primal dot – the Brahma Bindu. This frequency spirals outward, birthing the awe-inspiring 8×8=64 pada structure, known as Manduka Vastu Purusha Mandala. This mandala is not merely a pattern; it is a cosmic code, a visual and atomic depiction of the cosmos itself. Each of its 64 padas is a luminous body, a devta, exuding unique attributes grounded in its cosmic position.
The cosmic dance continues as the 8×8 grid metamorphoses into a 9×9 grid – the Paramasayika Vastu Mandala, a representation of material form and the order of human existence within the manifest world.

Behind these configurations lies a profound significance. The 8×8 unmanifest form boasts 64 units, creating the foundation for temples. Meanwhile, the 9×9 manifest form with its 81 units lays the blueprint for various structures.
Just as humans encase a fragment of cosmic space within their bodies, buildings encompass a slice of the universe’s energy within their walls. The Vastu Purusha Mandala orchestrates this dance, directing the arrangement of activities within structures. Negative energies are purged, replaced by their positive counterparts. From homes to factories, the cosmic symphony harmonizes all.
In this cosmic ballet, ‘Devta’ reigns supreme – derived from ‘Div,’ signifying light. Within the Vastu Purusha Mandala reside 45 deities, distinct manifestations of radiant energy. Aligning activities with their domains ensures equilibrium. Properly aligned spaces radiate health, wealth, happiness, and tranquility.
The primal manifest form is Vastu Purusha Mandala, which is the foetus of akasa (Space).
