Vastu is much more then the art of architecture. Vastu is as old as the vedic period and as old as the ancient scriptures. It means the ancients had stayed in very well developed houses following the principals of Vaastu which was written in the ancient scriptures.

Everything, man, substance, animals, plants are made for Panchmahabhoot - the 5 basic elements - earth, water, fire, wind and sky. This 5 elements have close relationship with man and his environment. When harmony between these elements gets disturbed our energies get dissipated in different directions leading to stress, tension, ill health and our peace of mind is destroyed.

If we give proper place to these elements at proper places in the building, we can become one with nature. Some people think that vaastu or feng shui is superstitious, but looking at the science behind it how can it be defined superstition when one is trying to balance the element to live harmoniously. Vaastu is the art of correct settings one can place in such a manner as to derive maximum benefits.

Our Ancient Saints had learnt from their ancient times how the five elements i.e. Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Sky work on human beings and their dwelling houses. They had also learnt how the solar energy and North-magnetic energy effect the destiny of people. Vaastu Shastra deals this matter while building houses and utilization of five basic elements available freely for the human beings on this Prithvi (Earth). This is a universally applicable science and we can see from our ancient time how people lived happily by living in such abodes.

This science deals with materials like wood, cement, steel, bricks, mirrors, water fountain etc. which is ultimately known as Vaastu Samudaya or Vaastu. It is well known that earth spins around its North-South axis and is also tilted from the axis towards North. North-East Zone is having positive cosmic energy and is thus very important. The energy travels from North to South making Semi-spherical energy lines and keeping the middle portion (Brahma Sthal) with weak flow of energy. It is for these reasons that plot dimensions are suggested 1:11/2 size or a 1:2 size. As this can be seen if the length of the plot is more, the energy flow becomes feeble on all the four sides. This can be proved by Einstein theory of relativity also.

We have studied in detail a large number of houses where vaastu principles were not observed. The dwellers were suffering either from financial losses, health problems, thefts, accidents, court litigation incurable diseases etc. In such houses, we have applied pyramids, shaligrams, yantras and vaastu wood as remedial measures which gave instant relief in most of the cases. The result is obtained with the help of a mixture of solar energy, earth's magnetic energy, gravitational force, and cosmos energy. This experience is also in line with the research made by our ancient Rishis on this subject.

Some people think that vaastu works only marginally in one's life; but we believe that every man is mainly guided by disha orientation. In other words if the plot of an airplane takes wrong disha (direction) he will be landing in different town than the aimed city. Therefore the disha of the dwelling house is more important to receive all the dasa benefits. Vaastu knowledge is needed to highlight the day to day mistakes found in building construction and the ways to correct them for receiving peace, prosperity and happiness.

Differences between Vaastu and Feng Shui .....

Chinese Feng Shui also believes in the 5 elements such as Fire, Earth, Metal, Wood and Water. Vaastu believes Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Sky or Cosmic. Fire, Earth, Water are common concepts in the both the sciences. Metal and Wood are found in the Earth, thus making the indian concept more scientific and complete. In Vaastu, NE -Water, SE - Fire, NW - Air, SW - Earth and Centre - Space, whereas in Chinese FS, North - Water, East - Wood, South - Fire, West - Metal.

Vaastu science is liked to the human body with chakras and main emphasis is in the electromagnetic flux - energy that travels from north to south. Each direction in vaastu is symbolised by names of dieties known as Vaastu Purush Mandal.
