Universe is one of the beautiful creations
of nature and everything stands alive only
in the limelight of truth. Just like every
subject of human aspect is governed with
rules, regulations & acts, similarly
the nature has also got certain key factor
principles for smooth governing of its residents,
in which "Vastu stands for nature law"
and ignorance of law is not an excuse anywhere.
Vastu is an inherent energy concept of science.
We cannot see energy with our naked eyes
but we can realize and see its application
in different forms and fashions. We all
know that "upto the knowledge of mind
is called Science and beyond the knowledge
of mind is called Spirituality. " Hence,
Vastu is not only a science, but is a bridge
between man and nature, thus teaching us
the Art of Living.
Vastu Shastra is essentially the act of
correct settings whereby one can place himself
in such a manner so as to absorb the maximum
benefits of the Panchbhootas or the five
elements as well as the influence of magnetic
field surrounding the earth.
History :
In the Vedic period, people built homes, temples
and hermitages with a view to have a peaceful
and harmonious living. But, in the modern
world people build concrete clusters, mainly
for the high rate of return. This race to
make buildings not in line with the ancient
bye laws of nature has led the world into
pollution, environment and ecological problems
with no peace of mind under any kind of shelter.
Vastu Shilpa Shastra,
the ancient mystic science and the art of
designing and constructing buildings finds
its origin in Stapatya Veda, which in turns
is a part of Atharvana Veda, one of the
four Vedas. Vedas are not new to the other
parts of the world and there have been people
of all levels who have appreciated the depth,
inspirations and insight of Vedic thoughts
for many years. Our saints knew various
mysterious and mystics of this vast universe
even before western scientist could start
finding them out.
One of the systems discovered by them was

Meaning – Because of VASTU SHASTRA,
the whole universe gets good health, happiness
and all round prosperity. Human beings attain
divinity with this knowledge. Followers
of VASTU SHASTRA get not only worldly pleasure
but also experience heavenly bliss. With
the above shloka, it is very much clear
that VASTU SHASTRA is universal. It is not
confined to any particular group of people
in the development of all human being irrespective
of any caste, creed or religion.
Importance :
Vastu is the bridge between man and nature.
Everything is made up of basic five elements
– FIRE, WATER, EARTH, SPACE, and AIR.
All These elements are only found on earth
that is why it is the only planet that supports
life and nature.
If the
residential and commercial buildings are
constructed without any regards to these
elements then how would it will give any
benefits? From each of the basic elements
we are getting a strange precious gift due
to infinite powers of the universe.
All materials in the world , irrespective
of their size, shape , colour , physical
or chemical compositions have embedded their
origins from one of the Panchbhootas . They
enjoy peculiar vibration levels, which is
evading the intelligence of human beings.
Vastu is in a position to reduce the gravity
of the problems faced by human beings as
well as industries particularly those suffering
from sickness through vibrations of Panchbhootas
which has anchored their roots in the body
of the human beings as well as the external
and internal building configurations.
Is Vastu A Science
:
Vaastu considered the interplay of various
forces of nature involving the five elements
of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and
strives to maintain equilibrium as these elements
influence, guide and change the living styles
of not only human beings but every living
being on earth. Thus they influence our deeds,
luck, behavior and other basics of life.
Vastu Shastra is the sublime elucidation
of your surrounding and their influence
on your life. Vastu literally means "
house" or Dwelling Place and its principles
establish to create a harmony between the
fine elements viz. Earth, Sky, Fire, Water
and Air in the environment.
Vastu Shastra unifies the science, art,
astronomy and astrology, it can also be
said as an ancient mystic science for designing
and building. Vastu Shastra helps us to
make our lives better and will secure from
things going wrong.
Vastu Today
:
The Vastu science is founded upon the laws
of nature. The equilibrium we observe in the
nature is easily perceivable by us in all
moving bodies, but unfortunately we are unable
to note this equilibrium in static bodies.
The basic source of energy of the whole world
is stored at North and South Pole.
It flows uninterruptedly from North Pole
to South Pole in the form of magnetic waves.
Therefore Southward portion of every building
should be higher than the northward portion
so that there may not be any hindrance to
the flow of magnetic waves. The cars are
so accurately balanced that even deflation
in any one of the tyres can cause a serious
accident. Similarly, when a building is
constructed without observing the rules
of Vastu science, various calamities, diseases,
accidents can occur. This is the eternal
rule of the nature and it has no place for
any logic, doubt or debate.
