Vastu Shastra
         

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. It 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.
Like astrology and palmistry it is a vast & complicated science,
easily misunderstood by most people.
Most people all over the world
will not think twice before spending huge amounts of cash on designing
their houses and they should rightly do so. But when the house does not
bring them peace and harmony and instead the ill effects of vaastu are
experienced the same people consult astrologers, palmists, tarot card
readers and some blame their destiny or luck.
Vaastu is essentially the art
of correct settings one can place himself in such a manner as to derive
maximum benefits.
The ancient relics say that
Vaastu is based on two forces "positive" and "negative" which are
constantly interacting with each other on the surface of the land. These
forces should get disturbed whenever any structure is erected on a vacant
land, to maintain a balance.
If there are more positive
energies (forces) than the negative energies, the result of such a
construction would yield more benefits to the inmates leading to a more
successful, healthy, wealthy and peaceful life, contrary to this if the
negative energies dominate the premises the effects could be
negative.
