Introduction Of Vastu

About Vastu Shastra

What is Vastu?

Vaastu is the science of directions that combines all the five elements of nature and balances them with man and material. Vaastu Shastra creates a congenial setting — a place to live or work — in the most scientific way, taking advantage of the five elements called Paanchbhootas, thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness.

Ancient Gurus and Rishis have known the secrets of using all five elements of this universe and their special characteristics to enhance lives since several millennia. Factors considered when laying down these principles include Earth's magnetic and gravitational fields, the galaxy, direction and velocity of winds, light and heat of the Sun including its Ultra-Violet and Infra-Red rays, and the volume and intensity of rainfall.

Man is the subject, object, and cause of architecture. He conceives and perceives architecture in relation to his experience of himself with the surrounding world. Through the art of design, he alters and moulds the elements of natural environment — the Paanchbhootas: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Ether. Our planet has life due to the presence of these five elements. Each one plays a fundamental role in the location and physical form of architecture and habitat.
