Vaastu:The
soul of Indian Architecture
First and foremost Vaastu Shastra
is not a religion but a science.
The philosophy and concept of
Vaastu Shastra has more to do
with complex mathematical calculations
along with the energy lines of
the earth. Faith is not a prerequisite
to success. Instead effective
creation of energy and positive
vibration, flow of balance and
harmony are required.
The Principles
Vaastu Shastra is based on precepts
laid down thousands of years ago
in the Indian classics like the
Puranas and Vedas. It concerns
the order - the harmony of heaven
and earth and ways in which we
as human can keep the balance
of human intact. |

| While
buying a site |
 |
Select
a site where the land is
fertile and not dry and
rocky. |
|
Avoid
water logged land or a site
at the end of a road |
|
Avoid
land too close to graveyards,
cemeteries, crematoria or
hospitals |
|
| Building
a house : |
|
Regular
shapes in houses with squares
and rectangles are far superior
to angular houses with protrusions
or L-shaped and V-shaped
structures. |
|
Avoid
U-shaped houses. People
in these would face a great
deal of hardship and unhappiness. |
|
Avoid
triangular shaped houses
that have too many corners.
The angles are not conducive
in attracting positive energy.
|
|
| Doors |
|
The
main door of a house should
never directly face a church,
temple or cemetery. |
|
The
door formula states that
the number of doors inside
a house should be in even
numbers and not in odd numbers.
They should not end in zero.
There should be an odd number
of doors in line. |
|
When
doors face each other, make
sure they face each other
directly. |
|
| Staircases
|
|
A
staircase should never begin
in front of the main door
nor end directly in front
of a upstairs door. |
|
Staircases
should ideally be curved gently
rather than straight. |
|
Spiral
staircases are not auspicious.
|
|
| Industries |
|
The
land for an industry as
advised by our Ancient Masters
should not be where the
air is state, where plants
cannot flourish, where soil
is dry and lifeless, where
surroundings are harsh and
threatening and where shapes
of hills are sharp and pointed. |
|
The
main shed or building should
be constructed in the south
west sector of the entire
land leaving more space
in the north and east direction
and less space in the south
west direction. |
|
The
overhead water tank should
be located in the north
east sector. |
|
The
raw material should be stored
in the western area and
the finished goods in the
north west sector. Just
a few of the basic principles
of Vaastu Shastra must be
touched on. There is a lot
more to be studied and understood
in detail for the best results.
This may be further discussed
if required. Do remember
that Vaastu Shastra is not
magic. It does not have
instant results. It is necessary
to be patient and allow
time for the positive energy
and currents from the cosmos
to enter the home, office
and industry and await harmony
and balance.
Vaastu should be looked
upon as a science and ancient
wisdom that has survived
through centuries.
