Vaastu & Science

Vaastu shastra is not a religion or superstation but solely a science of directions and its sub directions and its energies, the basic vaastu principals states that your home and work place should be completely square or rectangular to maintain the energy level of each directions, if your areas of the premises are not square or rectangular it is considered as missing area, if any area of your home is affected by the Wrong placement of toilets, bathrooms, Kitchen Stove & water Sink, staircase, overhead water tank, underground water tank, septic tank, slopes, heavy constrictions, beams, coulombs etc…… results into creating negative energy by disturbing the elementary, Planetary & Cosmic benefits.

Vaastu deals with inter related subjects like geography, geology, geometry, astrology, philosophy, factors influencing a site such as topography, orientation, surrounding structures, roads, sun, earth magnetic field etc. and lays down guidelines for the design and construction of the building which is scientific base of vaastu.

The Scientific Explanation: Every creature on Earth starts it’s activities at sunrise and goes to sleep after sunset and therefore the Sun assumes a lot of importance to living things. Because of the importance of sunlight to humans, the main aim of Vastu Shastra is to ensure that the inmates of a house are unknowingly exposed to the useful rays of sunlight while performing their activities, even if they are inside the house the whole day. But during a day, people perform different activities in different rooms at different times and the Sun’s position keeps changing from sunrise to sunset. So to ensure that the inmates get exposed to sunlight constantly, each room in the Vastu Mandala is positioned so that it faces the Sun at the time of the day when it is most likely to be used by them.

At the crack of dawn, the Sun is positioned in the North-East direction. Then it moves to the East, South-East, South, West and North-West. In the Vastu Mandala, the main entrance door is positioned in the North-East corner to ensure that the early morning sunlight floods the house. This explains why the ‘prana’ or life-giving energy, is symbolically believed to enter from the North-East, early in the morning.

This post was about the Earth’s Energy (Prana) and it’s effect on living beings and thereby, the design of buildings in Vastu Shastra.

Vaastu considers the interaction of various forces of nature involving the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and strives to maintain balance 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 thoughts, deeds, luck, Mental behavior and other basics of life.

Vastu principles in our ancient books are built upon solid foundations of science The entire life in our Universe is based on the five elements namely Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Sky. These five elements are found everywhere and anywhere. Even our body is composed of these five elements. When any of these elements happen to be in excess or less in our body, it will result into physical or psychological problems. For example, if Fire element is more, we will get physical problems like high BP, insomnia, ulcers and psychological problems like anger and tensions. When Water element dominates, it leads to laziness, hallucinations, fickle mindedness, obesity and indigestion. Vastu is a science of architecture which is aimed at balancing these five elements in our built structure to neutralize. Vastu Shastra helps us to make our lives better and will secure from things going wrong.

Vastu Shastra is the inspiring explanation 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 five elements in the environment.

Vastushastra is based on various natural energies, which are available free cost in atmosphere like:

Solar Energy from Sun, Lunar Energy from Moon, Earth Energy, Sky Energy, Electric Energy, Magnetic Energy, Thermal Energy, Wind Energy, Light Energy, Cosmic Energy 

Utilization of such energies gives us pleasure peace, prosperity and money etc in our life.

Vastu can be used for every room, every house, every temple, every shop industry, town planning, tour, cities and even for earth. Vastu can be used for micro as well as for macro level.

There are three forces in action to create harmony. Wind, water and fire or, vaayu, jal and Agni. If these forces are kept in their appropriate places, then there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and un peacefulness.
