An autonomous village design that can be replicated and scaled up anywhere in the Indomalaya bioregion
Food and Cash-Crop Forest
- Afforest – An Indian company that found the way to grow a food forest it 3 times faster by using all traditional techniques
- Agarwood plantation – the most profitable wood to grow
- Jackfruit plantation – the easiest way for home grown food autonomy, also gives the best shade (reduces the temperature by 20 degrees at least)
- All top Edible, Medicinal and Sacred Plants
Autonomy / Off-Grid Setup
- Homebiogas to recycle all organic matter into biogas for cooking, water heating, etc
- Fishpond based on Ancient Hawaiian Aquaculture
- Microhydroelectricity
- All Off-Grid technology, using low-tech solutions
- All Agroforestry and Permaculture techniques
HomeBiogas 2.0 produces 3 hours of cooking gas per day from kitchen waste
Additional Design Elements
- Sacred grove (vana)
- Vatika (astrological garden)
- Sthala Vriksha (Central tree), usually a Banyan tree
- Candi Bentar gates / Stone walls
- Dvārapāla statues
- Surya Majapahit
- Cremation ground

Vāstu design
- Village is based on properr Vāstu planning by an accredited Vāstu consultant
- Integrate all Vāstu “good luck” ornaments (such as Tortoise, Toads, Frogs, Arowana sculptures, etc)
- Place a Tulsi Thara near each house
- Rasalingam – Shivalingam made of solidified mercyry, brings immensely positive energies to the location
Creating a High Prana Environment
- Use Biogeometry to enhance the Life Force in the whole village, by optimizing proportions. Biogeometry combines Pythagorean harmonics, history of architecture, Ancient Egyptian temple science, German and French Physical Radiesthesia to form a modern “Physics of Quality”
- Agnihotra rituals – purifies and increases the vital energies within a 500 m radius. Excellent for human and plant life. Eliminates EMF radiations
- Vrikshayurveda to improve the yield of all medicinal plants and the quality of the soil
Integrate the Full Kalpavriksha Lifestyle
- Ancient Elite Lifestyle
- Ancient Healing Foods
- Ayurvastra Medicinal Clothing
- Essential Services List
- List Zero-Waste Household Items
- All courses
Activities / Businesses

- Host the most effective retreats and workshops
- Sell units as a ‘Retirement Village‘
For about 2 – 2.5 million dollars you can build a fully autonomous village for 100 people, based on Vaastu principles, with free water, microhydroelectricity generation, a food-forest, etc
Life Philosophies
- Tri Hita Karana – Balinese ecological wisdom
- Bioregionalism
- Geoism
- All useful shastras
Joglos: A self-contained life unit – the ultimate tiny house concept
- The main advantage in having a bigger, 100- 150 persons village is that it creates a critical mass where everybody is interested in pretty much the same high-quality products/services (and is uninterested in the mainstream toxic product/services), which means it could become a super-efficient, self-contained life unit at the lowest cost, because of economies of scale
- For example once a critical mass is reached, it becomes worth it to simply hire the best talent in or around the village, since there is a constant customer base: having a resident masseur, resident auyrvedic cook, resident tukangs to fix anything in a minute, etc.
- All the basics of life are taken care of on-site, since everything is pooled, rather than always driving around for basic needs
