Vastu
Is An Art
Vastu
Vidhya is one of the most valuable treasures of ancient Indian knowledge. The
word Vastu means to dwell and Vidya mean science, so Vastu Vidya is the sacred
science related to designing and building houses. The classical literature on
Vastu is vast and scattered. Vishwakarma Vastu Shastra, Mandana Sutradhar,
Samarangana Sutradhar, Mayamatam, Brihat Samhita, several of the Puranas and
Agamic Work, deal with the subject in great detail. Vastu principles, if
carefully followed, bring not only just prosperity into the household but also
love and peace. Vastu Shastra is directed at harmonizing external space with the
internal space within man. Vastu aims to restore the balance between the home
that is the microcosm and the cosmos that is, the macrocosm bringing health,
wealth and happiness.
According to Vastu, the
external and the internal are interchangeable, because the underlying energies
that govern the elements, such as wind or fire, are the same as those that
control the organs of the human body. Vastu states that when building and forms
echo the underlying cosmic principles, they become a part of the basic structure
of the universe and vibrate in harmony with it. These positive vibrations have a
direct effect on the inhabitants. Our ancient sages saw the influence of cosmic
energies on living beings. They found that various energies that run around us
in a particular pattern could be harnessed such that they resonated positively
with the individual being or the people residing in the building to make their
lives meaningful and harmonious.
Vastu contains the hidden key
to realigning the home with cosmic principles such as solar energy, the movement
of the celestial spheres, the magnetic field of earth, gravity and the influence
of the moon and sun. It offers a holistic approach to the design and layout of
houses. Although the art of Vastu is ancient, it is unconditioned by time and
remain as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. It has universal
application and is not confined to a particular country, climate or
hemisphere.
