VAASTU SHASTRA

Indian Vastu Shastra

Sanskrit word Vastu generally means 'dwelling' or a building used for residential purposes. The first mention of Vaastu is found in the Yajurveda, the ancient text of Hindus believed to be over 4000 years old. They cover a wide variety of buildings like places of worship, marriage houses, party houses, palaces and chariots and dwellings. The first book on this subject is believed to have been written about 3000 years back by saint Vishwakarma. Vaastu is a science that is complete in it and can bring happiness to the whole world.

VAASTU

Vastu is a complete understanding of direction, geography, topography, environment and physics. It is a study that dictates the form size and orientation of a building, in relation to the plot, soil, surroundings and the personality of the owner / dweller. There is no room for rituals and superstitions.

Architectural science and equipment have undergone a sea change over the years. However, the principles of Vastu, although modified to suit the modern times, still remain applicable.

Always Remember that Circular and Triangular Vastu Purush Mandalas, Given in Our Ancient Texts, are for Circular and Triangular Structures / planning only. Join our Advance Vastu Practitioner Course.

Impulsive planning and unorganised architectural methods, have led to the primary malady mankind faces today -- DISHARMONY. Today more and more architects are turning to Vastu shastra, to undo this. In short, an ecoimbalance is prevented by synchronising all the Vaastu elements.

THE DISADVANTAGES OF IMPROPER VAASTU

There is no reason to tip the balance if your fortunes, peace of mind, health and your business are doing fine and are in perfect harmony. Your place already has a good Vaastu. If not, browse on ....

You are at an occupational age. You are qualified. You are resourceful and brilliant. Yet, nothing is going fine. You opt for an equally qualified business partner. Nothing seems to be wrong on paper, but you find yourself squabbling because nothing seems to be working and your contemporaries, though of lesser caliber, leave you far behind. It is highly likely that the Vastu of your office / factory is all-wrong.

Check this - you plithe your troth. You start fighting with your spouse, say for no reason at all. The offspring you love very much are more troublesome, you find. Your children behaving rather antisocially due to reasons beyond your understanding. Your parent come 'visiting'. Previously such a joy, now they appear to be burdensome.

The food you eat tastes lousy with missing salutiferous values. Your fortunes start slipping away and you enter a corridor of eternal uncertainty. Before you label yourself a failure, hold on ...

Chances are, you are just going about it the wrong way. The Vastu of your dwelling could be all wrong. Correct it. Don't expect miracles to happen, but you will definitely reap the benefits, by and by.

THE TRUTH ABOUT VAASTU

There is nothing metaphysical about Vaastu. It is just that the hidden harmony of Nature and the environs around have been defied. Er. R. Prasad in his practice, does not attempt to compare the incomparable or even try to explain it on the basis of magnetic waves, ultra-violet rays, cosmic rays and so forth, as these are but the tips of unknown, unexplored icebergs.

The truth is that it works and probably the lowest common denominator of any such venture is its repetitive success, as many conglomerates and inhabitants of Vaastu-designed premises will vouch for. May be somewhere, sometime in the future, there will be an explanation for the mechanics of Vaastu, but to dissect it today is a futile exercise.

Basic Principles of Vastu Shastra

Vastu Shastra is the most scientific knowledge of Indian architecture. We follow the original Indian Vaastu Shastra rules (Architectural Rules) given in the Ancient Sanskrit Texts.

Vastu Shastra is considered as the study of directions only, but it is not the fact. There are much more things which are very very important in Vaastu Science. These most important five things are as follows.

Five Main Pillars of Vaastu Shastra

Aayadi Calculations (Dimensions, Measurements and Proportions)

Ayadi Vastu Calculations are used for defining the measurements of the new vaastu to be built, for the specific person and his family. The auspicious and fruitful measurements are to be found out for the family members. For these calculations the birth stars ( janma nakshatra ) or name stars ( naam nakshatra) of the family members (owners of that vaastu) are used.

16 Zones and Directions

Flow of Energies in the plot & built space are checked trough slopes, openings / blockages in all 16 zones and directions. Changes in the Internal arrangements as per directions gives good result and enhance the Vastu Energies.

Vaastu Pada Vinyasa (45 Devtas in Vastu Purush Mandala)

Placements, Internal Arrangements are done as per Vaastu Pada Mandala (81 parts of the vaastu). Disturbed padas and wrong placements can really make the life miserable. Remedies and insertions are done in the specific padas (parts) of that vaastu. This is why the Pada Mandala is so important in Vaastu Shastra.

Five Elements of Vaastu Shastra

Placements as per 5 Elements of Vastu Shastra - Aakash = Space, Vaayu = Air, Agni = Fire, Aap = Water, and Pruthvi = Earth (5 elements affect on every aspect of life). Alternative Remedies witout demolitions are suggested as per these 5 Elements.

Divinity or Spiritual Energies

Vastu and Feng Shui items with Pyramid Yantra, Ratna Sanskar, Dhaatu Sanskar, Dhanya Sanskar, Aaushadhi Sanskar, Gandh Sanskar, Vaastu Shaanti, Puja, Mantra, Havan etc., and Other Remedies from Vaastu texts with Astrological and Numerology considerations are done to Enhance the Divinity or the Energy of any Premises.

The following are some of the Vastu-logically correct principles of house making and design. Please note that like most of the ancient sciences, some of the knowledge that is contained in these principles may not be any more relevant at present times. However, the very basic of Vaastu principles will always continue to be beneficial to the mankind in one form or the other.

The basic principles are:

If you are in the process of buying a plot or site, please remember that plots/sites in South West, South & West directions are more advantageous than others.
According to Vastu, the most beneficial entrances in the house are those in North East, East or North direction.
Living Room or the dining room is best looked in East, North & Northeast directions.
The bedroom according to Vaastu should be in southwest/south or west direction.
The children's bedroom should ideally be in NorthWest. It could be in Southeast & North as well but never in southwest or south.
If you are fortunate enough in present times to have the luxury of having a separate room for the guests, make the guestroom in Northwest or Northeast direction.
The kitchen of the house is ideally located in Southeast followed by NorthWest & East.
Bathrooms & Toilets should be in Northwest of the house or in West or South direction.
While purchasing a plot or a site, it is advisable to go in for a rectangular or square shape. As far as possible, the site should be slopping towards North & East or Northeast.
While making the building or the house, it is advisable to have equal open space on all four sides. The levels of open spaces should be higher in South & West side and lower in North & East side. Outlets of rainwater should be in Northeast or North zones.
The living room of the central zone (Brahma sthan) should be free from any kind of obstructions. By obstructions, we mean any kind of beam, pillar, fixture, toilet, staircase or even a wall or lift.
The direction in which you sleep is also very important. One should never sleep with head in the north. Sleeping with head towards south ensures long life. While on a journey, it is advisable to sleep with head towards west.
In your study room, have your seat so as to face east or north. Do not have a toilet in the study room, though you can have a bathroom.
Do not use a dark colour in the study room. Use yellow or white or pink. Put the book shelf in east or north.
If you construct more than a floor, prepare the first floor on Southwest. The height of first floor shall not exceed that of ground floor. Do not build a storeroom on first floor.
It is said that a storeroom in the Northwest corner leads to abundant supply of essential commodities. Keep a holy picture on one eastern wall. Light colours should not be used on the storeroom. Use dark colours or blue or green. Never sleep in the storeroom at night. Also refrain from taking out grains from the storeroom in night.
The bathroom/bathrooms can be either inside or outside the house. In case it is inside, it should be located on the eastern or northern side. (If attached to a bedroom, then to eastern or northern side of the bedroom). When located outside, then it should be in Northeast corner, but away from the main building. The lavatories are forbidden in Northeast, Center, Southwest and West directions of the house.
Vaastu Shastra also guides us about what type of plants and trees should be planted around a dwelling unit so as to enjoy their positive properties the most.
Vastu does not prescribe having a Mango, Banana or a Jamun tree very near your house. However Peepal at some distance from the house in West direction is considered auspicious as is Imli in South West of the house.
It is also auspicious to have an Anaar, Ashoka, Chandan, Champa, Chameli,Gulaab , Nariyal & Keshar tree around a house.
On the size & shape of the door, Vastu advises that width of the door should be half of the height of the door. Square doors as also automatic doors should be avoided.
The Paintings / Statues in the house are also important. One should not have pictures depicting war scenes (even if they belong to the Epic Mahabharata or Ramayan battles). Similiarly scenes depicting negativities of life like sorrow, struggle, violence (including that of wild beasts), tragedy and of calamities.

A WORD OF CAUTION

As you cannot become a doctor by reading books, browsing through these or other similar websites, referring self learning books is not going to make you a Vaastu shastri. Should you decide to try it personally, it may be hazardous for you.

Vaastu has a peculiarity - it follows what Er. R. Prasad calls the "Fingerprint Syndrome". No two sites are the same, as compared to others. Minute differences do creep up, and should you try to use the 'rule-of-thumb' technique, you may start losing and rather badly, too. Get hold of a Vaastu consultant and take his advice. This is imperative.

Architects may complain of claustrophobia while working within the confines of Vaastu, but in truth, it actually releases them, and ultimately induces them to design more user friendly and aesthetic structures.

Let the phoenix rise from the ashes and spread its glorious wings of harmony. Welcome to Vaastu International.
