Mayan - The Progenitor of Vastu

Mayan the architect and town planner of India and the progenitor of Vaastu Shastra lived in the southern part of the Indian sub-­continent, known as Kumari Mandalam (Lumerian Continent), some ten to fifteen thousand years ago. He is the author of Mayamata Vastu Shastra and Surya Siddhanta, the two great works, which are still alive, being used by scholars and practitioners, all over India. They have revolutionized the erstwhile material culture of India into a spiritual one and today they are known worldwide and admired for the rich scientific material, they contain.
