Vastu, a science of construction not a religion!
Vastu is the ancient Indian science of architecture. A part of the Vedas indicates the word ‘Vastu’ as the ‘earth’, and in modern context Vastu has covered all types of constructions. Vastu considers the physical and psychological component of the construction, in consonant rhyme with cosmic energies.It’s a study which focuses on the influences due to planets on the buildings and the people who reside in them, and aims to provide guidelines for proper construction for buildings.
The people from ancient time believed that for happiness, growth, good health, wealth and prosperity one should always follow the guidelines while constructing an abode. Vastu tells us how to get rid of any kind of diseases, depression and catastrophes by living in structures, which allows positive cosmic energy to be present inside your home.
The layout of your house or work place is most similar to a Horoscope. In astrology, one cannot tame the pernicious/baleful/pestilent planets whereas Vastu prescribes that the Earth being one of the nine planets is the best approach to make it compatible to our needs and get the best and beneficial results from such bad effects of the planets.
The principles of this wonderful science have been explained in the ancient scriptures. Fundamentals of this science is based on the assumption that the planet earth is a living organism, out of which other living creatures/organic forms emerge, and so everything present on the earth and the space has ‘live energy’.
According to the Vastu Shastra five elements – Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Sky, governs the rules of creation. These five forces act for or against each other to create harmony or disharmony. Vastu shastra also says that everything present on earth – in any form – is heavily influenced by the planets, and each planet guards a direction. So our houses are always under the influence of the five elements and nine planets.
If your house structure is designed such that the positive forces override the negative forces then there will always be a beneficial release of bio-energy, which will help you and your family members in living a happy and healthy life. A positive cosmic forces prevails in the house according to the guidelines set down, where the surroundings/atmosphere is compatible for a happy and healthy life. Whereas if the same house structure is designed in a manner such that now the negative forces override the positive forces, then the dominating negative forces makes your thoughts, efforts and actions negative.
Apparently, Vastu is similar to the science of geopathy in context of quality and character, the study on the diseases of earth. Geopathy recognizes that cosmic electromagnetic radiations surround the globe, and that radiation distortions can be a reason for a site not safe for construction. Geopathic stress may also harm the immune system of the body and may cause health related problems.
In short each and every fundamentals and principles of Vastu Shastra are based on scientific reasons. Vastu Shastra is a science which is now also getting global attention due to the benefits people derive from it.
