Question:  Maharishi Vastu Architecture was based on principles by which Transcendental guru?
Context: Transcendental Meditation in education (also known as Consciousness-Based Education) is the application of the Transcendental Meditation technique in an educational setting or institution.  These educational programs and institutions have been founded in the USA, United Kingdom, Australia, India, Africa and Japan.  The Transcendental Meditation technique became popular with students in the 1960s and by the early 1970s centers for the Students International Meditation Society were established at a thousand campuses in the USA with similar growth occurring in Germany, Canada and Britain.  The Maharishi International University was established in 1973 in the USA and began offering accredited, degree programs.  In 1977 courses in Transcendental Meditation and the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) were legally prohibited from New Jersey (USA) public high schools on religious grounds by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.  This "dismantled" the TM program's use of government funding in U.S. public schools "but did not constitute a negative evaluation of the program itself".  Since 1979, schools that incorporate the Transcendental Meditation technique using private, non-governmental funding have been reported in the USA, South America, Southeast Asia, Northern Ireland, South Africa and Israel. Maharishi Vastu Architecture (MVA) is a set of architectural and planning principles assembled by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi based on "ancient Sanskrit texts" Maharishi Vastu Architecture is also called "Maharishi Sthapatya Veda" (MVA), "Fortune-Creating" buildings and homes, and "Maharishi Vedic architecture". Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (12 January 1918 – 5 February 2008) was born Mahesh Prasad Varma and became known as "Maharishi" (meaning "great seer") and "Yogi" as an adult.  He developed the Transcendental Meditation technique and was the leader and guru of a worldwide organization that has been characterized in multiple ways including as a new religious movement and as non-religious. In February 1968, the Beatles travelled to Rishikesh in northern India to attend an advanced Transcendental Meditation (TM) training session at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  Their visit was one of the band's most productive periods and received widespread media attention.  The Beatles' interest in the Maharishi was led by George Harrison's commitment, and it changed Western attitudes about Indian spirituality and encouraged the study of Transcendental Meditation. Maharishi University of Management (MUM), formerly Maharishi International University, is an American non-profit university located in Fairfield, Iowa.  It was founded in 1973 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and features a "consciousness-based education" system that includes the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique.  Its founding principles include the development of the full potential of the individual, fulfilling economic aspirations while maximizing proper use of the environment and bringing spiritual fulfillment and happiness to humanity. Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health (MVAH) (also known as Maharishi AyurVeda or Maharishi Vedic Medicine) is a form of alternative medicine founded in the mid-1980s by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who developed the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM).  In accord with traditional ayurveda, it emphasizes the role of consciousness.  Maharishi AyurVeda has been variously characterized as representing the entirety of the ayurvedic tradition. Vastu shastra ("vāstu śāstra ") is a traditional Hindu system of architecture which literally translates to "science of architecture."  These are texts found on the Indian subcontinent that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement and spatial geometry.  Vastu Shastras incorporate traditional Hindu and in some cases Buddhist beliefs.  The designs are intended to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilizing geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry and directional alignments. Maharishi Peace Palace is a type of pre-engineered building designed to house the educational and meditational activities of the Transcendental Meditation movement.  Each Peace Palace is built using standardized plans compatible with Maharishi Sthapatya Veda design principles. The History of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and the Transcendental Meditation movement originated with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the organization, and continues beyond his death (2008).  In 1955, the Maharishi began publicly teaching a traditional meditation technique learned from his master Brahmananda Saraswati, which he called Transcendental Deep Meditation, and later renamed Transcendental Meditation. The Transcendental Meditation technique is a specific form of silent mantra meditation developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  It is often referred to as Transcendental Meditation, or simply TM.  The meditation practice involves the use of a mantra and is practiced for 15–20 minutes twice per day while sitting with one's eyes closed.  It is reported to be one of the most-widely practiced, and among the most widely researched meditation techniques, with over 340 peer-reviewed studies published.  Beginning in 1965, the Transcendental Meditation technique has been incorporated into certain schools, universities, corporations, and prison programs in the USA, Latin America, Europe, and India.  In 1977, a U.S. district court ruled that a curriculum in TM and the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) being taught in some New Jersey schools was religious in nature and in violation of the First Amendment.  The technique has since been included in a number of educational and social programs around the world.
