FANDAMENTALS OF VASTU SHASTRA

 

Vastu dates back to the pre-Ramayana and the Mahabharatha periods. Our Puranic literature is full of references and knowledge about construction of buildings from houses to forts, palaces, temples and yajnashalas. Maharishi Bhrigu to Shukracharya and Brihaspati eighteen learned rishis have been referred as proficient in Vastu.
Buddhist and Jain literature are full of Vastu references. Lord Buddha is supposed to have given instructions to his disciples about the construction of Viharas (monasteries).

Vastu Shastra essentially deals with two energy sources the solar energy flux and geomagnetic energy flux. As we all know there are five basic elements in the whole world. They are the Earth, Water, Air, Fire(Heat & Light) and Sky(Cosmic/Space). Our body is also made up of these five basic elements of nature. The pancha-mahabhootas are related to our five senses of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. Any imbalance in our external and internal Vastu translates into unhappy situations. Vastu teaches the individual to live in balance and harmony with the panchamahabhootas. Vastu is a science of balancing these elements in the proper proportions for harmony. Vaastu is essentially the art of correct settings one can place himself in such a manner as to derive maximum benefits. Vastu Shastra is also said as an ancient mystic science for designing and building. Vastu Shastra helps us to make our lives better and will secure from things going wrong.

PRITHVI (EARTH)
Human beings have a natural and emotional affinity with the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun and has gravitational and magnetic force. Scientists have proved that earth is a huge magnet with two poles North pole and South pole. As all know, opposite poles of a magnet attract each other and same magnetic poles repel each other. Our ancients have found that sleeping with the head towards the South enables one to go with the nature and draw maximum positive energies from the cosmos to keep fit and healthy. Vastu also deals in detail about inspection of soil, selection of site, shape, slope and size of plot of land.
JAL (WATER)
After earth, water is the most important element. It is linked to our senses of taste, touch, sight and hearing. It is quantitatively the largest of the five elements as more than 80% of our body and two-third of earth’s surface is water. Most ancient civilisations came up close to rivers and water sources. Vastu provides important information about the placement of water sources like wells, boring, underground water tank, overhead water tank etc. while planning the house. Positions for drainage of water, septic tanks, sewarage, drains etc. are decided carefully to optimise the benefits of water element.
AGNI (FIRE)
Sun is the most vital source of energy and light. Formation of day and night, change in seasons is brought about by the movement of Sun in relation to the movement of earth. The Sun’s rays can be split into 7 plus 2 colours. Beginning from the very beneficial ultra-violet rays in the Eastern side corresponding to North-East, the Sun’s rays further split into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR) and infra-red in South-East. When these rays combine with water, they get additional benefits. It is, therefore, recommended to have a water source in North-East direction. To block North-East with high construction or contamination of North-East by building a toilet there is depriving yourself of most beneficial rays of Sun and has adverse results. It is recommended by Vastu to have tall and big trees in the South so that harmful rays of Sun are blocked.
VAYU (AIR)
The Air or Vayu is vital for our survival. Our sense of sound, touch and feel are related to Air. The air on earth is a mixture of various gases like nitrogen, oxygen, helium, hydrogen etc. Oxygen is vital for human beings and nitrogen is essential for the growth of plant life which in turn provides oxygen. Correct percentage of different gases, atmospheric pressure and humidity level is important for life forms on earth. Vastu recommends proper placement of doors, windows, ventilators, balconies, height of structure and placement of trees and plants for balancing the Air element within the structure.
AAKASH (SPACE)
Vastu is the only body of thought that gives Space the status of a natural fundamental element. Vastu Shastra is, therefore, superior to any modern or traditional school of architecture in the world. Aakash or the space is infinite and limitless. In a house, space element is related to the centre portion or the brahmasthan. It is important that brahmasthan be kept open and light. Any disturbances in the space element are detrimental to your growth. When you keep your office, home or factory in a mess, you spoil the space element around you. Extra construction, unutilised rooms or floors, homes stuffed with possessions, too big, extravagant and opulent houses collect a lot of negative energy. It is a place where you should be able to unwind and rejuvenate yourself.
