25 years of superstition, ruining the TM Movement's reputation and
preventing good TM research from being taken seriously by the scientific community

Sponsoring scientific research and discussion on the Southern Entrance Theory
and other theories of Sthapatyaveda
The purpose of this foundation is to encourage scientific research on Sthapatya vedic principles such as the Southern Entrance Theory. SERF proudly acts as a serf or servant to scientists, helping to raise funds for empirical studies on this topic, preferably to be published in independently refereed scientific journals.
Much has been said and done regarding following the principle of Sthapatya Ved from the ancient Vedic literature, where it is considered "inauspicious" to have or use a southern entrance on a building.
Although testimonials (non-randomly selected case studies) abound, true scientific research studies (randomly selected samples, with controls, and repeatable tests) on this theory seem to be lacking. Possibly a placebo effect or self-fulfilling prophesy may be in operation.
So more research is necessary. If research bears the theory out, it will help us put more resources in that direction. If it does not, it will help us put our resources in a more appropriate direction, besides east. Either way, research will be auspicious.
"I encourage all architects to test this knowledge. They should compare the health and fortune of those living in homes with different entrances and verify that those living in homes with their entrance to the East or North have better fortune than those with their entrance to the South or West."
Dr. Neil Paterson, August 8, 1997
This site is to serve as a forum for discussion and scientific research on the subject. Hopefully, this will bring us to greater understanding of the natural law.
The Southern Entrance Research Foundation makes no hypothesis and remains independent. SERF has no interest in the outcome of the research, pro or con. SERF's mission is just to encourage studies to be done, and to accumulate and post results on which to draw inferences and logical deductions.
Pro: $500 Reward - for the first published scientific research study on Sthapatya-ved.

Sthapatya Veda lost Oprah from TM to Deepak
Oprah Winfrey flew her jet and was impressed with Maharishi School and the group
Program.
Then she heard about Sthupidya Veda, never returned, never built a SV home, and joined Deepak

Pro: Sthapatya Vedic Center for DC opened up in Rockville, Maryland (but it is far from DC, 2 families live in it, and it is not available for learning TM or for group Program). Small house next door is used for "group program" - attended by only about 10 Sidhas.
|
Con: The "Senate" - the former east-facing stately building
where often over 200 Sidhas did group program, is closed and sold because it is
not SV, even though it faced east. Once thriving Ideal Village community of Sidhas, living 200% of
life, is decimated and destroyed for no reason or benefit, A
powerful influence of coherence is removed from the White House and Capitol
area. America begins its decline.

| College of Natural Law was 3 blocks from the White House, the perfect place to reach the Presidents, but was sold because it had a southern enrance | What a waste. How many Presidents could be
recommending TM by now? The real estate values in the area boomed |
| SV is claimed to be from the ancient Sages | They lived in caves, and there are no floor plans in the Vedas |
| "ancient technology" | Not used for Dome in 1980, and only came out in the late 1990's. |
