Principles of Vastusastra ?

The science of “Vastu Sastra” has just started acquiring its immense popularity during the past 2 to 3 decades. The distinctive characteristics of Vastu Shastra a primitive science is that it is mainly based and developed on the natural laws. Such as Ether (Space), Earth (Land), Jal (Water), Vayu (Air) and Agni (Fire).

These five elements are most essential for all animal kingdoms in the earth. Therefore, establishing harmony with our nature to intensify peace and harmony has been the main aim of Vastushastra. This Sastra (Subject) is mainly based on 8 directions and 5 above mentioned elements. Thus, any Vastu which is developed on the basis of these 5 principles of nature is bound to present with wealth, success, affluence, peace and harmony to the person using this Vastu.  Therefore it considered a Science which is specially used for the well-being of human lives.

This subject or the Sastra was first mentioned in Sthapatya Veda/Sastra, one of the most popular Vedas subordinated to Atharvaveda (Atharava Veda) in its comprehensive explanation included in Tantra which is called the applied knowledge of the Atharvaveda. Later on, one finds its reference in the epics of Ramayana (written by Sri Valmiki) and Mahabharata (written by Maharishi Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa), an epoch when philosophy was a path of life.

It was questioning and reasoning of philosophical thoughts that progressed in different sciences as we are aware of these days. Sectors where logical clarification has not yet penetrated  all in the realm of mysticism.

I personally believe The Vastu Sastra is best narrated “Mystic Science” that can be set side by side to the human being.

Although, Medical Science has explored and described in different facets of human body and mind but still there are some many unexplained things in the soul. The fundamental concept of Vaastu Sashtra is like the theory of the health of the body; the main idea beyond the concepts is like the unexplainable soul.
