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.
