He is the father of all sciences known to old world, though his
name is associated only with art, architecture and
townplanning. As a practising architect, builder and sculptor’
of Mayonic tradition, | would like to make a statement, that
in the available Sanskrit works on Art, Architecture and
Townplanning, Maya's concepts are expressed completely.
What is further interesting is that in the Tamil Text of Aintiram
one would find science and technology combined. The concept
of Vaastu purusha mandala, on which the whole universe is
anchored, is the discovery of Maya or Mayasura. The culture
of India is indebted to Maya in all respects. After going into
Aintiram, | am able to took upon the entire world, particularly
the Indian subcontient as the land of the Mayas, whose name
and fame have been sung in high terms by Veda Vyasa,
Maharishi Valmiki and Elango, the prince of Chera Nadu, the
present Kerala.
| may not be mistaken if f say that the culture of Indian
race is confined to three major works of scientific nature. They
are Vedas, Agamas and Vaastu shastras. For all these, | find
the basic material or substance in Aintiram in full measure.
To assess Aintiram and its worth, it is not possible for ordinary
minds. It needs scientific temper and deep involvement in our
Indian cultural ethos without which Aintiram would remain
inaccessible.
My involvement in the practical aspects of Aintiram - the
Vaastu shastras - has enabled me understand the super science
of Mayan to a large extent, if not fully. Dr.S.P.Sabharathnam
also belongs to the same tradition of Vaastu running parallel
to another set of scientific work called Agamas. Vaastu and
Agama may be described as the two cyes of Indian culture by
which one could see the Atman. The emotional outburst of
Dr.S.P.Sabharathnam can be well estimated in his prologue.
He has translated echoing the spirit of the Mayonic science
out of the most difficult Mayonic Tamil (1owdsuyp) which
remained unintelligible even to contemporary scholarship for
many years. We both have planned further to split them into
topics and elaborate in our own language. We also call upon
the scientists to do the same against the background of the
