What is Vaastu Shastra

Since last few years everyone has been talking a lot about VASTU SHASTRA. But what is this vastu shastra. Vastu is actually a science that considers the interplay of five basic forces of the nature that are:- Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. According to vastu shastra world comprises of five basic elements and those are earth,fire, air, water and space and all these five together are considered as panch maha bhoota. Our body is also composed of these five basic elements. Vastu shastra helps us to make a proper balance of these things in our lives so as to take the most advantageous part of it.

Shastra means Ved that directly relates to the word knowledge. So we can say that vastu shastra is nothing else but the knowledge of about how these panch maha bhoota work together or correlate together to generate any postive or negative energy. Vastu shastra is a traditional hindu system of design based on directions that are north, south, east, west, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west. Initially this system was followed only for designing and building of temples. But slowly and slowly as the people realized the benefits of following vastu shastra they started designing their living and work place also according to vastu shastra. By following proper vastu shastra it does influence our deeds, luck, behavior and other basics of the life.

Vastu shastra can also be referred as the ancient mystic science for designing and building and as well as living style of people.

Vastu is actually a sanskrit word that means “the site or the foundation of a house, site, building, dwelling place, habitation etc. The fundamental concept of vastu shstra lies in its five building elements that are:-
  • Earth:- Earth that consists of the large magnetic field responsible for the earth’s gravitational force that does have its impact on each and everything on the earth whether it be living being or non-living being.
  • Water:- Water that is called the source of life. Without which no one can sustain on this earth. Every living being need water to have life on the earth.
  • Air:- Again air is the most important element on the earth for every living being whether it may be plant, animal or human being. Every one needs air for oxygen as air is the only form of oxygen to inhale. Without this life can not even be thought of on the earth.
  • Fire:- It is the form of light and heat.
  • Space

All these five elements are inter-related with each other. A person can thus improve his living and life by properly building his place keeping in mind the effectiveness of these five natural sources. Vastu shstra combines these five elements of the nature and take advantage of the benefits possed by the elements so as to provide good living and working enviornment thereby facilitating spiritual well-being and paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness.

Vastu shastra can be applied at all levels may be small or large. By saying this we mean that whether you are thinking of designing a single room flat or designing an entire company in both cases following vastu shastra will be proven advantageous. Vastu can be applied anywhere. It may be small flats, a luxurious house, an industry, a company, a temple, a room, a working place anywhere.
