What is Vaastu Shastra?
VAASTU SHASTRA is the traditional Indian system based on vedic Architecture and Design. Vaastu means the dwelling of humans and Gods. The source of most Vaastu rules is the 'Vaastu Purusha Mandala' which is depicted as a grid of usually 64 squares in which a man lies with his head pointing north east. The different directions and sectors of this grid are assigned to different Gods and Guardians. Vaastu aims at providing guidelines for proper construction. Vaastu orientates, places and dictates the proportions of every detail in building lines, skylines, elongations, levels, slopes, water (underground and overhead), kitchen, bedrooms, toilets, staircase, heights of ceilings and roofs, entrances, loci of doors and windows, compound walls and so on. Vaastu is effected with positive power of three elements: the earth, the water, the fire (the sun).
- Earth: was formed about 460 crore years ago and it was a fiery ball. In due course of time, the rocks melted and the surface has formed and acquired magnetism due to the magnetic particles embedded within. It has two poles, north pole and south pole.
- Sky: is the endless space surrounding the universe. The universal concept of sky is beyond the imagination and reach of human beings as it is never ending and eternal.
- Air (Atmosphere): is a composition of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon-dioxide, helium, neon, crypton and vapour. Oxygen is life saving gas indispensable to living organism.
- Water: due to rainfall from clouds, water flowed into low lying area of earth's surface and oceans were formed. The eternal water cycle is mystery of nature.
- Sun: sun plays a vital role in Vaastu Shastra. It is a source of life on earth and this is the reason why Sun is worshipped as an incarnation of god or the potential source of creation on the earth.
Why Vaastu?
Sometimes it happens that we feel that inspite of having all the required resources for achieving success in the work field we don't get the desired and deserved results. Similarly sometimes we experience that the wheel of family life is not moving smoothly and there is lack of peace, harmony, affection and well being in the family. In both these cases, One should get the architecture of his house and the office examined and if need be modified as per Vastu Shastra. One is bound to expect good results and well being gradually and steadily.
Some Vaastu tips
I mention below some tips of Vaastu that may be useful to the visitors of the site, but I strongly recommend that the
advice of an expert be taken in these matters.
- The main entrance should be in the East or North but it should not be in front of the compound wall.
- The wall of the house in the North-Eastern side should have minimum height. If the wall of the house in the East is tall, it stalls the entry of prosperity, the Goddess Laxmi, into the house. Therefore, it should be small in height.
- The southern side of the house should be as tall and heavy as possible.
- In any room of the house the beam or column should not cross in the center.
- Terrace or balcony in the house should be either in the East or the North.
- A well, pole or a temple should not be there inn front of the main entrance of the house.
- The slope of the house should be towards East, North or North-East. Similarly, the slope of the plinth also should be towards East, North or North-East. The height of the plinth should be maximum in the direction of South - West.
- The main entrance of the house should not be in front of that of the opposite house.
- The house should be equipped with the protective wall.
- The upper storeys of the house should be constructed on the Southern or Western part.
- The cupboard in the wall should be the Southern or Western part direction of the house.
