Vaastu is an
ancient Indian science of architecture
and buildings which helps in making
a congenial setting or a place to live
and work in a most scientific way taking
advantage of the benefits bestowed by
nature, its elements and energy fields
for enhanced wealth, health, prosperity
and happiness.
Records and scriptures
are full of testimonials from kings, commoners,
artists, saints and traders on how Vaasthu
helped them reap great benefits.
Science of vaastu
It is rational
: Vaastu is the study of impact
of the Sun's rays on the earth. Vaastu
reads the characteristics of a house and
explains its effects on the residents
in a scientific manner, we can surely
count it among the other sciences.
It is permanent
: The principles of vaastu is based
on directions which are permanent. Likewise
the effects of vaastu are also permanent.
It is beneficial
: The basic purpose of vaastu is
to make the lives of people happier and
problem free.
It is universal : Since vaastu
is based on the properties of the earth
and the sun, it is surely universal. Nationality,
religion, caste etc. have nothing to do
with the science of vaastu, it is equal
for one and all.
It is practicable
: It is very simple to follow.
Build your house according to the guidelines
provided by vaastu and lead a healthy
and happy life.
Since it possesses all the features mentioned
above and is based on action, cause and
effect it can most defiantly be concluded
that it is a science.
Be it a home or office, factory or a commercial
block, Vaastu
shastra is known to reward the follower
the benefits and protection from ill effect
in life-be it economic, emotional or spiritual.
Like any other science, Vaastu
is considered rational (based on
cause and effect) practical, normative
(codified and governed by principle),
utilitarian and universal.
We live in, and are surrounded by, various
types of energy fields which operate
freely in open space. When we place a
structure here, the equilibrium is affected.
Vaasthu helps in designed the structure
to ensure that a harmonious flow of energy
is present in the building and equilibrium
maintained. Some of these invisible energies
have also been proved by the use of Pyramid
model.
Vaasthu considered the
interplay of various forces of nature
involving the five elements of earth,
water, wind, fire and ether and
strives to maintain equilibrium as these
elements influence, guide and change the
living styles of not only human beings
but every living being on earth. Thus
they influence our deeds, luck, behavior
and other basics of life.
According to Vaastu, there are 5 basic
elements in the whole world. They are
the Earth, Water, Air, Fire Heat &
Light and Sky Cosmic. Vaastu is a science
of balancing these elements in the proper
proportions for prosperity and harmony.
In a broader sense vaastu is a science
of directions and it accounts for 8 directions;
North, South, East, West, North-East,
North-West, South-East and South-West.
