What is Vastu ?

"Vastu stands for nature law" 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.

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.

History of Vastu Shastra
The historical background:

In the Vedic period, people built homes, temples 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 VASTU SHASTRA.

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.

Necessity of Vastu Shastra
Why vastu is necessary ?

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 ?

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.

Role of Vastu Science in 21st century

Our ancient Vastu Shastra has been founded in such a way, that the inmates can derive maximum benefits from sun-rays and the energies of the sun like heat light, UV rays – the only reliable source of Vitamin D (Vitamin D is absorbed by the blood directly when the bare skin is exposed to sun), which is vital for sustenance of life on the Earth.
Uttaraayana and dakshinaayana too are of great scientific importance since daytime will be more than the nighttime in the Uttaraayana facilitating availability of more sun light.

The most important aspect considered while formulating the Vastu Shastra is the magnetic field of the Earth, which has significant influence on the human life. Human body itself acts as a magnet with the head, the heaviest as North Pole. If the head is directed towards the North while sleeping, the North Pole of the Earth and that of the human body repel each other affecting the blood circulation, causing disturbed sleep, tension and other problems. Thus, it is said by Vastu Shastris that ONE SHOULD NOT SLEEP FACING HIS HEAD TOWARDS NORTH.

Now-a-days many hitech instruments are available by which one can detect Vastu defect of a house by measuring the energy level of the person residing in. By using Feed Back Energy tester, one can not only detect the Vastu defect by measuring the energy of the human, but the same person can restore the energy with the help of ‘Yong Yang Deep Stimulator’. Another device to measure the human energy field is ‘Lecher Antenna’.
In the most recent survey of the Gujarat earth quake effected regions , the maximum houses destroyed were not according to Vastu and those were intact were constructed on the principles of vastu.

World wide role of Vastu for humanity

The system of Vastu is an admixture of science, astronomy of astrology; it is covered with the influence of the sun, moonlight and heat, the earth’s atmosphere, wind direction, magnetic field and gravitation force on human beings. It gives practical guidelines on site selection, its contouring level, orientation of the building in relation to climatology and microweather, arrangements of areas/rooms in relation to the different activities of the proposed building. Their proportions as well as rituals for successive stages of house building.

Vastu also suggests the living condition in the house arrangements, and also plant & machinery layout in factory, business houses and also the placements of different activities, furniture layout, internal color scheme, the sitting and working arrangements, business administration, raw material and finished goods, arrangements for their storage, position of putting up boilers, furnaces, transformers, water storage and everything.

When travelling in an automobile and reaching towards destination. Now there are two factors, which will decide the journey, the vehicle and the road. The main cause of moving towards the destination is the car though road is equally important. So, in the same way, Vastu is like the road and vehicle is one’s karma. Even if one has a good vehicle but if road is not good, it will be difficult to reach the destination. Thus, Vastu facilitates to make the journey smooth.
