Vaastu
is basically aimed at harnessing the higher
energy levels within the self and can
help in various aspects of life such as
:
* Increasing earning potential
* Helping in rising higher in career
* Success in studies
* Enhancing Marital bliss
* Ensuring good health
* Freedom from tensions and anxieties
A proper house to live in is the prime
necessity for every living being.
Habitat is related to the very birth of
the creature, whether it is a marine animal
or birds or a land animal.
Man is the most
superior among all the animals.
It is expected of him that he builds a
proper place or house for not only himself
and his family, but also for other animals
or things also with which he has some
association, keeping in view their proper
safety and maintenance. Also he should
earn nobility by constructing Dharamshala,
temples, wells, ponds etc. for the benefit
of one and all.
At the time
of wedding, it is a tradition in
Indian culture, that the bride puts seven
conditions (Saptpadi) before the groom,
one of them is that if he promises to
build a temple / garden / pond/ well/Dharamashala
etc. for public utility and benefit of
the others, then only she will accept
to be his wife. The groom has to promise
and then it becomes the sacred duty of
the man to build some house to keep his
promise.
Everybody, rich or poor, me and even
the gods, if descend on the earth, require
a house to live in.
So Vishwakarma had first of all given
the methods of
construction and decoration of buildings.
It is known as Vaastu Shastra or the architecture.
References to
these methods and art are found
in the sources of ancient Indian culture
such as the Vedas,
Purans , Ramayana, Mahabharata
and other Sanskrit epics.
In astrology also, the ancient scholars
have given the auspicious times (muhurt)
for procuring a plot of land or starting
the construction work of a house or first
entry in the newly built house etc.
A house which helps in achieving the best
in the four groups (Chaturvarg:) Dharm,
Arth, Kaam and Moksha and attaining divinity.
A place, natural or built by the living
beings which protects them from heat,
cold, rains, storms and adverse conditions
of natures is known by different name
in different cases. e.g. a house, nest,
den, burrow etc.
