A student comment regarding our program:

Here's what you will learn this summer:

• Ancient mysteries governing the science and art of sacred architecture (Sthapatya Veda and Vaastu Shastras) used to build King Solomon’s temple, the Great Pyramids, the Mayan and Aztec temples, Macchu Picchu, the great and potent temples of India, and thousands of ancient and modern towns and houses around the world - all vibrant forms which bring inner peace and spiritual bliss to visitors and inhabitants.
• Authentic ancient teachings of the world's most eminent Vaastu architect and sculptor passed down for thousands of years through his lineage from Brahmarishi Mayan - world teacher 10,000 BC. This includes deeply profound spiritual knowledge beyond building architecture.
• Mechanics of creation from unmanifest energy (Vastu) to manifest matter (Vaastu) - the formation from Absolute Space and Absolute Time, OM light, OM sound, and the five elements - space, air, fire, water, and earth from subtle to gross states.
• Application of the mechanics of creation (laws of nature) to land/site selection, soil assessment, proper orientation of buildings, Ayadi calculations (specific units of measure used in Vaastu), building design and construction principles (including positioning of buildings on land, the secrets of the correct measure used in a properly built Vaastu building, positioning of doors, windows, walls, etc.).
• Ancient and secret calculations used in built space which causes the space to become vibrant with uplifting and enlightening qualities of Consciousness and spiritual bliss.
• Experience with building an authentic Vaastu structure.
• Positive and negative effects of all structures on the health, well-being, and bliss of the dweller.
• How to assess existing buildings and what you can do to help the occupant in those structures.
• Experience the unique vibration of authentic Vaastu buildings. This is a direct path to well being and awakening... and much, much more.

If you want to know the real truth of Vastu in order to build a Vaastu home (or just for the joy of gaining amazing knowledge) then study with AUM S & T... The courses with Dr. Jessie Mercay are enjoyable, inspiring, intellectually stimulating and spiritually enlightening. I'm grateful that Dr. Mercay brought this Vedic Science to the west and started the University under the auspices of the eminent architect and scholar Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati.

What Courses Should I Take?

The courses offered this summer are part of the two - year Vaastu Consultant, Vaastu Architect, Vaastu Builder, Vaastu Artist, and Vaastu Ambassador certification programs. Take the entire program this summer and you will be well on your way through the whole program.

If you want to be in this program but cannot come for the full summer program, take the first two weeks (July 16 - July 31). That will qualify you for the advanced program beginning in September. Taking the first two weeks will put you behind in the overall program so we encourage you to attend at least 4 weeks.

The Vaastu Architect Program is for architects who want to apply this knowledge to their work.

The Vaastu Consultant Program is for people who want to learn to consult with the public and assist them in building a Vaastu home.

The Vaastu Builder Program is for builders who want to learn Vaastu building.

The Vaastu Ambassador Program is for people who may not want to be Vaastu Consultants but are interested in this deeply profound knowledge. There is a spiritual component to this knowledge, which brings one to higher states of awareness. This program is also for people who want to build and live in a Vaastu house and want to understand the process.

Vaastu Artist Program is available for artists who want to apply this knowledge to their artwork. The principles taught in the program are directly transferable to fine art and crafts hence it is appropriate for artists to enroll.

If you have physical limitations - don't worry - there are things you can do related to Practicum 2 that do not require much physical labor. Just let us know.
