Vaastu

 As it is being called today was known as the Vaastu Shilpa Shastra until a few decades ago. The principles of this. shastra (scientific treatise) аге contained in written texts known for their in-depth analysis of all aspects of building and sculpture, There are at least sixteen known texts written in Sanskrit and a host of local texts in different languages. Some of the texts offer more information on iconography and iconometry, some also offer information on simple rituals in community life. VASTU AND VAASTU The vaastu tradition is an extremely old one and has developed its entire system of building technology upon the fundamental premise that the earth or soil is a living organism out of which other living creatures and organic forms emerge. The life force contained within the earth is called vastu by the tradition. This premise is extended further, and all objects that occupy the earth containing this life energy are likewise called vastu. Thus plants, trees, buildings and sculptures are all considered to be alive and part of the whole living subsystem. Each substance or vastu is also placed on a plane or support. This plane is called vaastu. The earth is both a vastu and a vaastu since it is a substance as well as a support. Vaastu is further explained as the living space or dwelling space. — Vaastu is the individual site or land identified for а village or neighbourhood. Vaastu also the building 'enclosure. In practice, the individual site is known as vaastu and the built form is known as prasada vaastu . А s all plant forms and other flora. The tradition considers earth a primary mother goddess while the life energy contained in it is perceived as a male principle. This energy is known as vaastu purusha. Similarly the human organism is also a vastu within which there lies an energy which is known as the jivatman. The energy that lies in its unmanifested state in all universal space is known as paramatman. This name denotes the live energy residing in every particle of uniyersal space. This purusha or life energy has taken on various physical forms to reside in this world. Each of these forms abides within a natural rhythm and order. The traditionalists have understood this order which is alive and in harmony with the natural rhythms of the universe, and they have invested all their creations with it. As a result of this impeccable adherence to the natural order, sculptural images and built spaces have been created by the vaastu tradition, which to this day invite human beings to enter their spaces in humility and love. _ When ‘sacred spaces are carelessly disturbed апd the natural order ignored, negative energies are unleashed which cause harm to the offenders. This is no different from tampering with poisons or electrical energies. There are countless stories in this tradition about the untimely end of those who destroyed temples and Divine images. To mitigate the negative effects of the energies in the environment various rituals are carried out that link man with the unmanifest universe of the purusha.
