VIGNANA VASTU PART II

1) What is Vastu?

“Vasati iti Vastuhu” – Vastu is because of/for dwelling. “Vastushastra” is the knowledge which discusses the science and technology of dwelling in this Prakruti [Nature/Cosmos-Earth]. This stream of knowledge has the Indian origin.

2)The Deviated Traditional Texts; The Root Science and Modern Application.

The “Vastu shastra” was developed in multiple folds and directions. But various traditional books talk in different tones. This is because of the requirements and limitations of the time and region during their development. Basically all shastras are found by “Rishis” . Later they are developed by scholars. Most of the scholars probably didn’t have the intuitive and mystic depth. Up to certain stage the development in Vastushastra may have yielded fruits. But later on in the name of development and adaption, the Vastushastra underwent declining phase. Many shastras suffered by the same sickness These are the phases where the Vastushastra deviated away from the Pure Science behind it. Also, these are the phases where the Vastushastra could not adjust itself with the requirement of time, place and people. The class/sect, region and time dependent nature of the various cults/texts of Vastushastra are also usually not considered by the scholars of later time.

When it is said like this some may feel that here we are not following the traditional Vastushastra. But the fact is that The Shastra we follow and talk about is most strongly rooted in the core knowledge of Sages.

It is highly required to go back to the roots of Vastushastra, so that we could understand the basic science behind it. Then we have to develop it according to the requirements. Depending on the regional geographical condition and the Latitudal position of the place, the application of the “Science of Vastu” differs; though the science is a constant one.

Similar conditions can be found in almost all shastras which cover the different flanks and dimensions of life.
