Editor's desk This month Vastu times would try to eliminate

the international myth which so called GREEN

experts are creating in Indian Ecological minds

I would like to discuss the facts of what exactly

Green home are?

The spirit of Home

Home is more than the total of its parts. It is our

spiritual center, our place to be ourselves. A

house can be healthy, yet still lack the spirit of

home we need. In fact, many people are put off

ideas of ecology and health by the feeling of

restriction, worthiness, even self-righteousness

they sometimes convey. We seem constantly to

be having to give up things we enjoy, whereas a

home should be place of comfort and healing, a

place where we feel in harmony with ourselves

and all of life.

Green building (also known as green

construction or sustainable building) refers to

a structure and using process that is

environmentally responsible and resource-

efficient throughout a building's life cycle: from

siting to design, construction, operation,

maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This

practice expands and complements the classical

building design concerns of economy, utility,

durability, and comfort.

Although new technologies are constantly

being developed to complement current

practices in creating greener structures, the

common objective is that green buildings are

designed to reduce the overall impact of the

built environment on human health and the

natural environment by:

?Efficiently using energy, water, and other

resources

?Protecting occupant health and

improving employee productivity

?Reducing waste, pollution and

environmental degradation

A similar concept is Vastu natural building,

which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to

focus on the use of natural materials that are

available locally.

-Mayank

Why build in accord with Natural Law using the knowledge of Vastu?

Because every individual is the expression of Natural Law, and should naturally be in harmony with himself and with his universe. And if there is some knowledge, which can be helpful to harmonize human creation (man-made structures) with nature's creation, it is wise to make use of this knowledge so that individual life may enjoy that supreme level of order and harmony of Natural Law which belongs to the universe, and to the essential nature of every individual.

Then the buildings that we live and work in do not unknowingly create problems for

us but become Fortune-Creating homes and buildings that constantly support all our activities for effortless success, good health and happy, harmonious family life!

One of the textbooks of Sthapatya Veda, Vishvakarma Vastu Shastra says,

“Because of Vastu Vidya the whole universe gets good health, happiness, and all-around prosperity.”
