About Vaastu/Vastu/Feng Shui

This is a unique technique developed without distributing the existing structure.

Vaastu in Sanskrit means nature, a surrounding or environment. The word "Vaastu" came from Vaastu, denoting anything existing such as house, shelter, building etc. Shastra in Sanskrit means systems. Vaastu Shastra is an ancient art and science, containing principles and practices of constructing buildings, which ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature, and thereby brings all round happiness, health, wealth and prosperity.
Its knowledge enables us to get benefits of mental peace, health, wealth etc. and make our life happy. This science, after propounding the rules of construction, goes to prove that by constructing properly our buildings, villages, towns, cities, shops, offices, factories and industries we can make ourselves prosperous.

Studies show that our surrounding environments have an impact on how we feel. If you have trouble sleeping at home or if you have trouble concentrating at work, the surrounding environment could be the cause of your problem. If you are a medical professional, the design of your waiting room could contribute to patient distress and stress. If you run a hotel or spa, its decor, no matter how expensive, may be aloof, too neutral, or uninviting. If you run a yoga studio, its design may work against centering oneself and diminish the benefits of yoga. Vastu Living designs and creates environments that connect to our needs--spaces that are also easy on the eye. We are committed to humanizing space, and Vaastu, the first design science to use the human body as its guiding force, shows us the way.

Man is the subject, object and the cause of architecture. He perceives and conceives architecture in relation to his experience of himself with the surrounding world. Through art of design, he alters and moulds the elements of natural environment. Out of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of five elements. Earth and Water have limited and localized availability for the human habitat and growth. They form apparent and fundamental choice makers in the location and the physical form of architecture and habitat. Sun, Air and Space are universally available and can be molded to human needs by the act of design. In order to understand the act of design with these five elements, we shall have to take each one separately to appreciate their meaning, role, and workability in architecture.

(1) EARTH (Bhumi): - Earth, the third planet in order from the sun, is a big magnet with North and South poles as centers of attractions. Its magnetic field and gravitational force has telling effects on everything on the Earth, living and non-living. It is tilted by about 23 ½ degrees at the meridian. It comprises of the land structure, landform, landscape, flora and fauna. It also establishes availability of local construction materials and their workability. In India, we worship our Bhumi and give her a place of our mother.

(2) WATER (Jal): - This is represented by rain, river, sea and is in the form of liquid, solid (ice) and gas (steam, cloud). It forms part of every plant and animal. Our blood is nothing but water with hemoglobin and oxygen. The habitat and physical life are where water is present. This is true for all life forms and eco-cultures. The type, form and pattern of life also greatly depend on relationship of earth and water. If we see our history, all the cultures had developed on the bank of any water bodies, so this shows the influence of the water on our life, since ages.

(3) AIR (Vaayu): - As a life-supporting element, air is very powerful life source. Pure air with oxygen is good for brain and blood. Atmosphere of earth, which is about 400 kms. , In depth, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon-di-oxide, Helium, other gases, dust particles, humidity and vapour in certain proportions. Human physical comfort values are directly and sensitively dependent on correct humidity, airflow, and temperature of air, air pressure, air composition and its content. In this aspect, air deals with the entire body surface through skin, blood system - through respiration. Air also represents the movement.

(4) FIRE (Sun): - It represents light and heat without which the life will extinct. All the days and nights, seasons, energy, enthusiasm, passion, vigor is because of light and heat only. Sun is a source of mental energy too. Best minds evolve in a natural process where the sun was temperate. Not very hot, not very cold, just the right temperature of 24 degrees. The different zones with the variety of climate have distinctive culture and architecture. Sun has played an important role in development of visual qualities of architecture in terms of textures, colors and above all the expressions of vitality.

(5) SPACE (Aakash): - All the above elements are skillfully engineers towards the creation of physically comfortable, emotionally pleasant, intellectually determinant, totally vibrant and blissfully satisfying spaces for human shelter and habitat. It is unending regions remote from the earth, in which not only our solar system but the entire galaxy exists. Its effective forces are light, heat, gravitational force and waves, magnetic field and others.

	The Origin of Vastu Sastra
The origin of Vaastu Shastra may have taken place well over thousands of years ago. The learned men of those days may not have lived in houses themselves but they most definitely dedicated their lives to the development of the science "Vaastu Shastra" or "Vaastu", as it is popularly known today. The principles of the science laid down during those days were based purely on the effect of sunrays during different times of the day. The observations and corrections made were noted and concluded only after in-depth screening of the situation. Vaastu is a part of Vedas. Through sacrament and meditation yogis of that period acquired answers believed to have come from the cosmic mind itself to their questions. Hence Vedas are heeded with divine knowledge. The art of Vaastu originates in the Stapatya Veda, a part of the Atharva Veda.
	Why One Should Follow Vaastu / Feng Shui ?
Vaastu Shastra is an ancient building science which covers the philosophy and theory of Architectural works to construct any building and as well as living style of people. Vaastu Shastra is based on various natural energies, which are available free cost in atmosphere like:
• Solar Energy from Sun. Lunar Energy from Moon • Earth Energy • Sky Energy • Electric Energy • Magnetic Energy • Thermal Energy • Wind Energy • Light Energy • Cosmic Energy
Utilization of such energies gives us pleasure peace, prosperity and money etc in our life. Now days we have regulations to construct building, whereas in past our ancestors we had Vaastu Shastra as a religious code. As per Vastu Shastra Purush is god of building science, hence let us pray. Thus Vastu is rational, as it is scientific, it is permanent as it is based on directions and directions are unchangeable. It is beneficial as it is a bridge between man, material and nature and above all it is practical, as it is very simple to follow. Build your house according to the guidelines provided by Vaastu and lead a healthy and happy life. Vaastu can be used for every room, every house, every temple, every shop industry, town planning, tour, cities and even for earth. Vaastu can be used for micro as well as for macro level. Every creature on earth starts its life with sunrise as it performs day & night. Hence there is much importance of sun in every one life. It gives ultra violet rays in morning and infrared rays in evening which one basic need to reduce / generate bio-chemical germs, N2/ Oxygen / CO2 on earth. Sun indicates light (illumination) will power, generosity, solar system, luck or fate, mobility and in body. It rules over bone, eye, heart, spinal cord, blood circulation and soul etc. Hence east direction is auspicious; it belongs to lord Indra. North is considered auspicious since magnetic lines of forced moves from North to South, thus origin of all the life. There are three forces in action to create harmony. Wind, water and fire (vaayu, jal and Agni). If these forces are kept in their appropriate places, then there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and unpeacefulness.
Relevance Of Vaastu Relevance of Vaastu Shastra is being increasingly used as a tool to analyze the role of a building in the health and fortunes of its inhabitants. The scientific basis of Vaastu, in terms of energy is understood now than ever before. Some traditional techniques for creating well being in the build space are:
I. The central courtyard:
	The central court coincides with the resting Vaastu purusha’s central body composed of lung, heart and stomach. Physically this part (of the building) offers the heart nexus or feeling center, the lung or praana center, the stomach or digestive center, and the nabhi or creative center .
II.	The central Energy Axis:
	The central axis known as the brahma sutra runs through every building. Psychologically, this axis which is known as ‘vamsa modam’ or backbone, is considered to be the core of the building and hence of importance in the health of the occupants.
III.	The top Ventilator or Hot Air Vent:
	The chimney, the top ventilator, are physical representation of the vertical movement of the standing purusha, which is also the axis of the ‘praana’(life force). These slits helped in the natural movement of air within the rooms of a house.
IV.	Rear garden:
	In the rear is usually located a small garden with space available for animals. The private garden is the buildings connection with nature. In modern flats, this would be replaced by a sit out or terrace with potted plants. The relationship between the garden and nature is a great energy resource for its occupants.
V.	Rain water catchments:
	The garden is sloped and its base built a brick lined depression for rainwater to collect in. it is especially beneficial for hot, dry areas.
VI.	Combining waste- water channels with a vegetable garden:
	To prevent different water from harming potable water in wells simple channels are made so that they can be used for vegetable patches.
VII.	Mud walls, Lime wash, Earth Red, low-dung, Thatch:
	Festivals, holy days and seasons have been systematically demarcated for the application of lime, cow- dung and earth, red on the walls or floor as part of a ritual. Besides marking a special occasion they also help in containing white ants and rodents. Spring-cleaning is not just cleaning, but also an occasion to get rid of the negative energy.
VIII.	Medicinal plants and herbs:
	Every traditional house recommended the planting of herbs and medicinal plants (trees) as also flowers for ‘puja’. These plants with their healing power and fragrance add positive energies to the environment.
IX.	Periodic fumigation of house:
	Different kinds of incenses, herbs, minerals and plants are used for cleansing the air in a house. Periodic use of different herbs, neem leaves,” sambrani” incense and firewood smoke help in getting rid of mosquitoes, bacteria, micro-organisms as well as removing negative energy accumulation.
X.	Importance of doors:
	The entrance of a house is one of the most powerful points. It connects the activity-based identity of the individual with his inner self, denoted by the private spaces within. Traditionally, the door would be scaled and designed for each family and would hence be unique.
XI.	Verandahs as buffers and connectors:
	In the lifestyle of the families, the outer verandah not only played the part of the dust and heat collector, but also helped in the social interaction of the family. Vaastu, which combines the rigor and discipline of design with the traditional perspective toward individual comfort and community linkage, is certainly relevant in a world where isolation has become commonplace.

	Vaastu and Natural Law
Modern research has proved that the ancient science Vaastu has a firm scientific basis. As modern science developed it began to probe to the deeper levels of Natural Law. At each level, scientists found progressively greater intelligence and power. In the last decade, modern physics explored the deepest level of all the Unified Field of Natural Law. The intelligence at this level of Natural Law is the source of all the forms, and phenomena in nature. The architecture of everything in nature is finally designed from here. The Natural Law has for the first time provided a building technology that will transform the way people think and feel – homes and offices by their mere design create good health, clear thinking, happiness, harmony, and prosperity for the family or business. According to Vaastu a southern entrance is inauspicious and interferes with the support of Natural Law and brings negative influences to the inhabitants of the building. Accordingly, there is an ideal place for the living room, the kitchen, the dining rooms, and the bedrooms. It is important to place each room in the house in the proper location according to its function, so that one does not become sleepy in the dining room or hungry in the study. This is one of the many factors that are considered to ensure that every aspect of daily activity is in harmony with Natural Law. Just as every part of the human body is properly placed and precisely proportioned; there is an ideal proportion for every room in the home and office for Natural Law to provide maximum support. Latest research in neuro science has shed light on the fact that our Cosmic Counterparts – the sun, moon, and the planets – have a one-to-one relationship to the different parts of the brain: basil ganglia, thalamus and hypothalamus. This natural tendency to align with the cosmos has led to the concept of orienting buildings towards the east to gain the full support of the rising sun.
