Vaastu Gyaan
Vaastu means the dwelling of humans & Gods. Vaastu shastra is an ancient science which helps one to get the natural benefits freely offered by the five basic elements of the universe in which we all live. These basic elements are Akash (SKY), Prithvi (EARTH), Paani (WATER), Agni (FIRE), and Vayu (WIND). Vastu Shastra can be applied by keeping in harmony with these basic five elements of nature.
Vaastu Shastra is an edifice science that was developed by our learned people thousands of years ago. Its application today is purely architectural and its principles are based on becoming one with nature.
Many Vaastu rules are derived from 'Vaastu Purusha Mandala' which is depicted as a man lying with his head pointing north east, in a grid of usually 64 squares. The different directions and sectors are assigned to different Gods and Guardians.
In doing Vastu of any place ,
home, work place, building, factory, land or plot we try to harmonize the
place with respect to the five basic elements called as Panchbhoota namely
Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Space. We shall discuss about importance of each
of this element and how well we can harmonize them to relieve a stressful
life, bringing 3 P's viz peace, protection and prosperity in our lives.
WATER :
Water bodies in north or east
are considered good. As far as the flow of domestic water is concerned, it
should be borne in mind and that such water should be drained out in North
- East. Wells, tubewells, swimming pools etc. should all be in the North-East. The water from the toilets and bathrooms, too, should be drained out in the North- East. The North-East direction is always auspicious and suitable for water. There are sewer-systems in the cities. The Septic tanks or the flow of sewer systems should be towards North - West. The flow of rain or fresh water should be towards North-East.
FIRE :
The direction of Fire is
South-East. The Kitchen, fireplace, geysers etc. should be placed only in
this direction. Alternatively these could be placed in North-West, because
it is at 180 degree to South-East. The Vastu Fire Element One can take
care of the South-East Corners of all rooms and aim for Hapiness in the family, Good Health, Sound Finances, and Nice Married Life. As South-East belongs to Agni he can create enough trouble for inmates. The South-East corner of every room should be taken care of it. One can keep Agni - Vastu Fire Element cheerful by having a spotlight or lantern in the South-East corner with light or burning flame pointing to the roof. One can have the Electrical gadgets like Television, VCR, Fridge, Computer, Fire-place, Microwaves, radio etc placed in South-East corner.
AIR :
The air should enter the building from North -East. All the openings and media for air entry such as doors, windows, ventilators coolers, air-conditioners, verandahs, balconies etc. should be in this directions.
SPACE OR OPEN SKY :
The open sky
influences greatly. We can get the effect of terrestrial-energies
uninterruptedly. But the buildings prove a barrier to the effects of open
sky. Therefore, the importance of roofs or lawns gets emphasized, but the
Vastu shastra has refrained from deliberating in detail over it, because
it is related chiefly to building construction and we will discuss only
this aspect. Traditionally every house in India used to have an open space
(Court Yard) in the center of the house. It provided the dwellers not only
the open sky but also sunlight and cross-ventilation of air.
SHAPE OF PLOT :
Favourites are regular
shaped square or rectangular plota AND irregular shaped plots are normally
avoided.
OBSTRUCTION :
Obstruction like big trees,
open well, pillars and posts before a arrow like roads are to be avoided.
IDEAL SITE :
A building should be
constructed preferably in a square plot the house should be constructed in
the for house centre and in rectangular plot it should be nearer to
construction south, south west and west sides preferably leaving more in a
plot open space on north and east. "L" or Considered not suitable for house
as corners will be "U" shaped missing and occupants will be missing
opportunities.
