"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.
