"Vaastu
Shastra" the vedic architecture
integrates the science of Ayurveda and
Astrology by linking them with human lives. "Vaastu"
Combines the earth's magnetic fields, the
influence of planets and other celestial bodies
along with cosmic rays and plays a vital role
in happy family life and prosperity of business
Vaastu Shilpa shastra, the
ancient mystic science and art of designing and
construction of buildings finds its origin
Staptya Veda which in turn is part of Atharva
Veda, one of the four vedas.
In today's age & time with
growing urbanisation, paucity of space and more
significantly the rampant sense of
faithlessness in anything that modern science
fails to explain, it is practically impossible
to even dream of a home or office confirming to
the laws of "Vaastu".
ELEMENTS OF VAASTU
The universe is made up of the 5 basic
elements (Panchaboothangal) i.e. Water, fire,
earth, air and the sky.
· Wind :
The North-west is the Vayusthana or the place
of the wind. Hence the door, window or
ventilatttor is to be constructed in the West
in Northwest, without obstruction and the owner
of such building experiences happiness,
improvement in business and good friends.
· Water :
NorthEast is the Jalasthana or the place of
water. If a well or an underground water
storage facility (Sump) is build here, then the
owner of the site is bound to experience
happiness and prosperity.
· Sky:
The sky corresponds to the middle of the
building is the Brahmasthana, it is very good
if this place is built open to the sky without
any Ups and downs in the middle of the building
Owners of small sites may not find this idea
feasible. Care should be taken, not to place
any heavy objects here.
· Earth:
As the Southwest is the hardest part it can be
compared to the earth. The higher this portion
is in a building, the higher is the fame and
fortune of the owner.
· Agni (Fire)
: The South East is the
agnisthana or the place of the fire, hence the
kitchen should be constructed here and fire
should be lit facing the East, as fire should
always be lit facing the East even while
cooking , performing a yagna or while lighting
the lamp for God. |
