opportunities will come. It is up to you to utilize these
opportunities. Sometimes you may notice some improvements right
away.
Question-6:What are the basic principles of Vaastu Shastra? Answer-6: Everything that exists in the universe, including our
bodies, is made of five elements. These five elements are earth
(geomagnetic energy), water (gravitational energy), fire (solar
energy), air (wind energy) and space (cosmic radiation). These
forces have a powerful influence on us, as well as the environment. Vaastu is the science of arranging our man-made environments so that
we are in alignment with these forces of nature. If we are not
aligned with solar and geomagnetic forces we may experience illness,
misfortune and struggle. It is as if we are attempting to swim
against the current of a river.
The east is the source of solar, ultra-violet rays, and the north is
the source of magnetic energy. We benefit by keeping our environment
open to these life supporting energies. The harmful infrared rays,
which come from the south, and the destructive gamma rays, coming
from the west, cause disruption within the environment and our
bodies. Using the principles of Vaastu Shastra, we protect ourselves
from these rays.
Each of these elements is associated with a particular direction.
