DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VAASTU AND VASTU

Vastu is everywhere in life. It surrounds and pervades everything in the universe. Vaastu, on the other hand, is the space that is surrounded by walls – the building. “Vaastu” is a derivation of “Vastu” – as if we are delimiting a part in universal space.

Vastu = universal space
Vaastu = individual space

Thus, we can say that we are building “a space within a space”, in which there is no difference between the individual space and the universal one.

vāstu śāstra – literally "science of architecture") is a traditional Indian system of architecture based on ancient texts that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry.

Vaastu is a science of structures or the creation of harmonious energy field in a structure is called Vaastu. It is an art of placing through which a balance between negative & positive energies in the structure is maintained.

Vastu shastra unifies the science, art, astronomy, and astrology. It can also be said as an ancient mystic science for designing and building. Vastu shastra helps us to make our lives better and will secure from things going wrong.

Vaastu is the science of directions that combines all five elements of nature and balance them with the man and the material. Vaastu shastra is creating a congenial setting or a place to live or work in most scientific way taking advantages of the benefits bestowed by the five elements called “PanchMahabhootas” of the nature thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment.

Our sages and seers knew the secrets of using all the five elements of this universe and their special characteristics and influences such as the magnetic field, gravitational effect etc. of Earth, the galaxy in the sky, the directions and velocity of the winds, light and heat of the SUN including the effects of the Ultra-Violet and Infra-Red rays, the volume and intensity of rainfall etc. for the advantage of the mankind in suitable planning and constructing buildings for prayer, dwelling, entertainment, education, working, production and other purposes.  They evolved scientific methods and systems and confined them over the years as “VAASTU SHASTRA”. Our sages SEARCHED it, we are only RESEARCHING it and building the concepts.

Man is the subject, object and the cause of architecture. He perceives and conceives architecture in relation to his experience of himself with the surrounding world. Through art of design, he alters and moulds the elements of natural environment. The world comprises of five basic elements, also known as Panch mahabhootas. They are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Out of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of these five elements. Earth and Water have limited and localised availability for the human habitat and growth. They for apparent and fundamental choice makers in the location and the physical form of architecture and habitat. Sun, Air and Space are universally available and can be moulded to human needs by the act of design. In order to understand the act of design with these five elements, we shall have to take each one separately to appreciate their meaning, role and workability in architecture.

  SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE VASTU- A SENSETIVE MATTER There are various reasons why most of the vastu principles change in southern hemisphere.
