Ayurveda

Ayurveda evolved methods to make the body and mind healthy and full of vitality. Yoga enabled

Mankind to free oneself from the miseries and pains of life. Similarly Vastu Shastra enabled designing

of buildings to achieve success, growth and happiness in life.

The fundamental principle of Vastu Shastra is to add Value to the Life of man staying in a building by

bringing about harmony between man, nature and the built environment. So, buildings designed

according to Vastu guidelines vibrate with Universal Positive Energy and create a feeling of

contentment and well-being for the occupants.

The faith that Earth is a living organism, throbbing with life and energy; is fundamental to the Vastu

Shastra. That living energy is symbolized as a person; he is the Vastu Purusha. The site for the proposed

construction is his field; Vastu Purusha Mandala.

Vastu is also derived from the sanskrit word vasathi which means comfort. Comfort is related to theright proportion and positioning of the five elements agni = fire, vaayu = air, vaari = water, prithvi =

earth and akash = sky in our surroundings. The interplay of the Five elements along with the sixteen

directions can profoundly influence the lives of the people living or working in the premises either

positively or negatively.

Many factors govern the life of a human being; his Fate, Karma and Surroundings. Vaastu which

harmonises his surroundings can make Sweet things Sweeter and Bitter less Bitter.

We live in a vibrational Universe. Everything is energy. Only the frequency of vibration differentiates

the types of energy. Our house, factory, shop, office (enclosed spaces) are mini replicas of the Universe

and universal energies. The impact of these energies (beneficial or harmful) is determined from the

directions these energies flow into the space we inhabit. When we perform an activity (sleeping or

cooking and so on) in a zone which is conducive to that activity the result is all round joy, peace and

success.

That is why Vastu or Mahavastu in specific, analyses the harmony between flow of energy in enclosed

space vis--vis the activities being performed in that zone.

The Complete Vastu analysis must consider the following synergies in an enclosed space:

1. Panch Tattawa (Five Elements)Air, Fire, Earth, Space and Water.

2. The cycles of Support, Exhaution and Control between the five elements e.g Water supports

Air, Air supports Fire but Water controls Fire.3. The sixteen directions which signify various Elements e.g North & North East denotes Water

Element, South East is a zone of Fire Element.

4. Energy of Sun (Light)Life Force.

5. Magnetic Energies emanating between the North and South Poles.

6. Geo-magnetic energies of underground streams and black currents within the earth.
