Paramasayika Mandala
The Paramasayika Mandala is a nava-pada (nine divisions) structure. Parama means excessively/excellently/all encompassing. Sayika means being in regular order. Paramasayika indicates being in all encompassing order.
This Mandala is characterized by four energy loops (orbits) around a center. Sayika also at times is used to indicate ‘five’. Along with the Center and 4 paths, there are 5 parts to the ParamasAyika structure. Hence ParamaSAyika could also mean the excellent ‘five’ or the orderly 5.
The best example of Paramasayika Mandala is our Milky way galaxy. As the temples where the Gods reside are based on Mandala that depicts the Universe (Manduka Mandala), our houses and habitats are to be built on the Mandala that depicts our Milky Way Galaxy (Paramasayika Mandala).
It could be divided into nine divisions vertically and nine divisions horizontally, with dividing lines encapsulating the energy loops on right, left, top and bottom, forming forty-nine parts.
Structure of Paramasayika Mandala
At the center of our Galaxy is a ‘Black-hole’ depicted as the eye of the spiral above. Arms of fire spiral out from the centre. It is in these arms, several stars, constellations are present including our own solar system and planet earth.In the above figure of our Mily-way galaxy, the arms are spirals. In case of spirals defining a loop or orbit is different from usual orbits. Each spiral arm starting at the center could be counted as an orbit, when it spirals around in near full orbit. Any spur arms that are stranded are not counted as an orbit, though they are given their appropriate place in the veethis.

Milky-way Galaxy is the best example of this mandala. The following is a mapping of our Milky way Galaxy to Paramasayika Mandala.
The above is an overlapping of paramasayika mandala with the structure of milky-way galaxy. As could be seen our solar system is located in the ‘Manushya Veethi’ in the Orion Cygnus Spur arm of the galaxy.
There are four major Spiral arms of our galaxy that start at the center. They are
There is one well known local arm
5.Orion Cygnus arm in which our solar system is located (called the Local arm).
Of these the first four arms (Perseus, Norma, Crux-Scutum, Saggitarius) are full spirals making one near-full round around the Galactic Center thereby occupying 8 rows (4 on the top and 4 on the bottom). Orion Cygnus is a floating arm and just occupies only one column.
Therefore the 9 rows and 9 columns of Paramasaayika Vastu Purusha Mandala depicts the structure of Milky way galaxy appropriately.

Paramasayika Mandala – Our traditional House
Traditional Indian houses were built exactly on the Paramasayika Mandala. Examples are the Chettinad houses, most ancient village houses and mansions, palaces that exist still today.
The open courtyard becomes the MOST important part of an Indian house according to Paramasayika Mandala, as the open courtyard symbolizes the black-hole at the center of Milky-way galaxy.
There are several designs based on Paramasayika Mandala for houses like the Nalu Kattu houses, Chettinad houses, several ancient houses etc..
In general any of these houses have an open courtyard at the middle to symbolize the blackhole of our galaxy, which is considered to be a source of extreme energy.
Rooms around the open-space form the Brahma Veethi, which has high energy. Halls, large rooms, living rooms where people spent most of their time and where poojas could be done were built in this place.
Next is the Deva veethi, where dining rooms, bed rooms of newly married/elder sons were built, as Deva veethi is all about creation of matter and energy.
Next is Manushya veethi where storage rooms, granaries, treasure chests, Kitchen, bedrooms of other/elderly people etc existed, as Manushya veethi is all about biological life and evolution.
Next is the paisacha veethi which was either a garden filled with trees and/or ‘thinnais’ of high raised platforms adjacent to the street.
In case of ‘Kattu’ houses, the number of ‘Kattus’ depended on the wealth of individual. But the same veethis were distributed to several kattus, with eath kattu having a full-fledged court-yard or a smaller sized one.
The key advantage of the Paramasayika Mandala is not that it is in sync with Milky-Way Galaxy, but it traps cool-air and heat inside it depending on the climate. In winter times, it traps a warmer climate inside and in summer times, it traps cool air inside. It is the most energy efficient structure of the mandalas. It has a natural rain harvesting structure that lets water to be saved.
The difference between the Paramasayika and Manduka mandala is the structure of the Central orbit. In Manduka mandala is it symbolizes the ‘Dyu-Loka’ the ‘Garba-griha’ and hence closed with a ‘Gopuram’ on top. In Paramasayika it symbolizes the ‘Brahma” of our Galaxy, Black-hole and is left as an open courtyard.

Asana Mandala
The Asana Mandala is a dasa-pada (ten divisions) structure. Asana originally meant sitting and sitting postures. There are five basic sitting postures Sukhasana, Padamasana, Vajrasana, Siddhasana and Svastikasana.
In all these sitting postures, if we keenly observe, five loops are formed in the body. Bent Hands that touch the thigs (2), Bent legs (2) and a loop formed between the legs/toes/feet and the Genital region (mooladhara) are the five loops formed. In other words, the basic asanas (sitting postures) are about making five loops in the body.
Since this mandala is about making five loops, it is called ‘Asana Mandala’.
It could be divided into ten divisions vertically and four divisions horizontally, with dividing lines encapsulating the energy loops on right, left, top and bottom, forming one-hundred parts.
Structure of Asana Mandala
Examples of Asana Mandala
Vastu Sastras say a Well has to be built based on Asana Mandala. This means that a Well should be dug large enough to have five springs in it, so that it is near-perennial.
Lord Shiva is a Hindu God seated in Asana Mandala. In fact Shiva is the only God to be depicted in Asana posture. Shiva Lingams are installed in Asana Mandala in 5 loops/orbits. Generally a sthaniya mandala is designed (11*11, 5 loops/orbits around a center) in which the central 9 Padas, the Shiva Lingam is consecrated thus converting it to a Asana Mandala (10*10 or 5 loops/orbits)
Shiva is said to be constituted of five parts SadyojAta, Vamadeva, Aghora, Tatpurusha and Esana. Shiva is associated with five-syllables Na ma Zi Va Ya. Hence, no wonder Shiva is associated with 5 loops/orbits Asana Mandala and Asana posture.

Ubhaya-chandita Mandala
This mandala is formed of 6 loops/orbits around a center. Ubhaya chandita means ‘On both sides of Chandita”. Compared to the Manduka Mandala (Chandita Mandala) which has four loops/orbits, this mandala has 6 loops/orbits around a center. It is called Ubhaya-chandita as this mandala is about one more loop/orbit around both sides (inside and outside) of chandita Mandala.

Bhadra Mandala
This mandala is formed of 7 loops/orbits. Bhadra is an attendant of Siva. Bhadra Mandala means mandala of attendants.
It is formed of Asana Mandala (five loops/orbits) surrounded by Mahapita mandala (two loops/orbits) on four sides, thus making the seven loops/orbits. Bhadra Lingas are installed in Bhadra Mandala manner.
First Linga is installed in the Center (inside the 1st orbit) of Sthaniya Mandala of 5 orbits. With the Linga occupying the first orbit and the centre completely, the mandala becomes Asana Mandala, with Linga in first orbit. Around this 2 orbits of MahaPita Mandala is drawn and on four sides the Main linga, four lingas are installed. Thus the seven orbit structure is formed that is called the Bhadra mandala.
Bhadra indicates the stars in constellation of Pegasus. Pegasus constellation is actually a combination of andromeda galaxy and pegasus galaxy. The stars in Pegasus constellation being part of physically different galaxies and surrounded by different stars look like the ‘attendant’ mandala or Bhadra Mandala.

Maha-Asana Mandala
This mandala is formed of 7 loops/orbits around a center. Maha Asana means a Great Asana or Great Seating posture or Great Seat in the Great Yajnas.
While the Asana Mandala is for Shiva the MahAsana mandala is for Sakthi. It is mentioned in the Lalita Sahasra Nama, which occurs in the Brahmanda Purana as a discussion between Sage Agastya and Lord Hayagreeva, where Hayagreeva says Devi resides on the Maha-Asana of MahaYantra.
If we carefully analyse, the SriYantra it is made of 7 loops/orbits around a Central Dot (Bindu). The seven loops/orbits are Sarva Aasa Paripuraka, a sixteen-petal lotus , Sarva Sankshobahana, an eight-petal lotus , Sarva Saubhagyadayaka, composed of fourteen small triangles, Sarva Arthasadhaka, composed of ten small triangles, Sarva Rakshakara, composed of ten small triangles, Sarva Rogahara, composed of eight small triangles , Sarva Siddhi prada, composed of 1 small triangle and Sarva Anandamaya, composed of a point or bindu. I have not counted the Square here, as it is not really part of the Mandala and symbolizes the doors of temple in which the Yantra is installed and Devi resides.

Padma-Garbha Mandala
This mandala is formed 8 loops/orbits. Padma is used in general to indicate a blossomed (open) state as well as the Lotus flower. It is used to indicate the most respected, most honorable. Padma Garbha means most respected, most honorable Uterus.
Lord Vishnu is depicted as having come out of the Most respected Uterus (Sree Garbha Parameswara, Padma Garbha sarira brthu). He is described as one who came from the Yoni of ‘Atma’ on his own and who appeared with splendour when he was born from the Most respected Garbha and he makes up everything in Universe. He is said to be growing from this Padma Garbha (Most honorable Uterus) and makes up the core of everything in this Universe. I had interpreted Vishnu as the ‘String’ that makes up everything in this universe in my blogs on Rudram.
Hence this mandala symbolizes the Mandala of Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is depicted as growing out of Lotus flower for this reason.
Also Lord Vishnu in the form of Narayana is associated with Ashtakshara mantra, the eight letter mantra. And this mandala has eight orbits in it, each orbit signifying a letter of mantra.

Tri-yuta Mandala
This mandala is formed of 8 loops/orbits around a center. Tri-yuta means three that are united. If Asana Mandala is for Shiva, Maha-Asana mandala is for Shakti and Padma-Garbha mandala is for Vishnu, then Tri-Yuta is for these three United.
As the name signifies the 8 loops around a center has the Asana Mandala (5 loops), Maha-Asana mandala (7 loops around a center) and Padma-Garbha Mandala (8 loops). Hence this mandala is called Tri-Yuta (United three) mandala.

Surya-visAlaka Mandala
This mandala is formed of 10 loops/orbits. Surya viSalaka means the sun’s wide orbits (our own sun is called surya) or sun’s wide reach. As the sun’s wide reach is formed of 10 loops/orbits, this mandala has 10 loops/orbits. And Indeed our solar system has 10 main loops/orbits around it, though if we count the dwarf orbits it would be numerous.
Note that this mandala is not talking about the Sun at the center and only orbits of Sun.
Susamhita Mandala
This mandala is formed of 10 loops/orbits around a central object. Susamhita means that are well united. The Sun and the 10 loops/orbits around the Sun that are well United forms the Susamhita Mandala.

SupratikAnta Mandala
This mandala is formed of 11 loops/orbits. Supratikanta means “One that is attractive in form or shape”. The eleven loops of the Mandala resemble the eleven Rudras. Rudras are the eleven forces that manifest themselves in various ways in this Universe and I had mapped them to eleven dimensional space in my blogs on Rudra.
The most attractive of all forms and shapes is the formless, shapeless space with its eleven dimensions.
For eg., a nine-storey building structure is built on supratikanta mandala, amongst many other ways possible (Saura, Raurava, Chandita, Bhushana, Vivrita, Visva-Kanta).

VisAlaka Mandala
This mandala is formed of 11 loops/orbits around a central object. VisAlaka Mandala means ‘wide reaching place’. Visalaka could indicate the whole Universe as the force of Rudra emanating from a point in the Universe and migrating south, reaches the whole of Universe.
Visalaka also could indicate a Planetary system in which Yakshas live according to Mahabharatha.
