About Vaastu Science / Vaastu Shastra - Introduction:
Vaastu/ Vastu Shastra is a part of Vedas, which are believed to be four to five thousand years old. The art of Vaastu
originates in the Sthapatya Veda, a part of the Atharv Veda. Sthapatya Veda, dealing with the architecture. We
can find many references in Vedas, Puranas and other subsequent literature.
Shelter is the one of the basic need of every living
being. We build house for our living and to live a peaceful, happy and healthy life. A house or any building constructed
as per Vaastu Shastra ensures maximum benefit to the habitant.
A
structure built on a piece of land is known as "Vaastu" or "Vastu".
It has been derived from the word "Vaas"
which means "to live". It's practice started with Vedic period.
Our ancient saints have concluded that anything
living or non-living in the universe is made up of five basic
elements or Panch Maha Bhoot. Vaastu/ Vastu is directly related to these five elements
which are as follows:-
When these five elements
are in harmony in our body, we are healthy and active and when their
equilibrium is disturbed one is devitalized or unhealthy. Same is
true with our place of living or work. Vaastu Shastra is the only
science which instructs how to maintain best equilibrium of these
five elements in a building and make best use of them to energize
mental and physical energies of inhabitants to the maximum extent.
In other words Vaastu tells us how to make use of these five
elements for the maximum convenience, comfort and security keeping
them in perfect harmony in our home or place of work so that one
should enjoy health, wealth, prosperity and growth.
Vaastu helps us to align the energies of our house with that of the
environment. It helps us to live in balance with nature.
Most people consult Vaastu Shastra only when they are in trouble or things are not going right. This attitude is incorrect.
Vaastu Shastra is
applicable in different geographical areas around the world. Even
where there is a limited amount of sunshine, the answer is yes. The
basic principles of balancing the five elements apply throughout the
world. By using the principles of this science, buildings can be
designed to harmonize with the different climatic conditions of each
region.
