Energy Dynamics
Vastushastra essentially deals with two energy
sources - the solar energy flux and the geomagnetic energy flux.
The science of vastu aims at controlling the flow of these energies in a vastu
by selecting proper directions and alignments for the vastu. Location of doors,
windows, colour scheme, flooring patterns, planting of trees - all these
parameters play an important role in enhancing energy field for human being to
live in harmony with nature. The south, southwest and the west are the
directions subjected to excessive cosmic particle activity.
Conventionally, the north is source, and
the south is the sink for electromagnetic flux lines. Subatomic
particles travelling along the geomagnetic flux lines end up at the southern
tip. Excessive cosmic radiation particles, particularly, positively charged
particles, enter the earth from the west rather than the east.
Specially, in Indian context, excessive solar radiation come from
south, southwest, and southeast directions. It is always suggested that the
compound walls in the south direction should be greater in height and thickness.
Also, the plinth of all the rooms in the south should be more. It is suggested
to construct basements, underground water tanks and extra floor on the south
side, with terraces towards the north and east directions.

Cosmic Energy, Helix And Golden Ratio To contain these vortices
of cosmic and thermal imbalances, vastushastra offers a remedy in the form of
the helix concept. Helix, the natural growth shape is known as the
mystery and the magic of the almighty. It finds reference in all the ancient
scriptures as the centre of energy balance is located at the origin of a
logarithmic helix fitted in a rectangle with sides having proportionate golden
ratio of 1:1.618. |
|
The effects of most of the vastudosha diminish automatically if this
helix centre lies inside the vastu. The idea of constructing the vastu in the southwest
zone implies arranging of the centre of energy balance in the actual
building area. This center is the nabhi or the focal point of the
plot and is the source of all cosmic energies. The centre is confined to the
vastu by constructing the vastu in the southwest zone. Rather the vastu experts
should try to position this power in the northeast zone of the vastu.
Before planning any vastu, the plot should be
demarked in the ratio 1:1.618 (length: breadth) known as the golden ratio. A
helix flowing from northeast to south west should be marked to fix the nabhi
(energy centre) of the vastu. The nabhi is treated as the brahamsthal (focal
point) of the vastu and around this focal point, equidistant borderlines should
be drawn. With nabhi as vastu centre, other rooms can be planned easily.
The two activities, breathing of vastu and manifestation
of energy, are centred around nabhi. If the nabhi and brahamsthal of the vastu
coincides, there is an enhancement of the vital characteristics and virtues of
the vastu. The flaws in the vastu can be traced to and technically analysed on
the basis of the difference between the nabhi and the brahamsthal of the vastu.
If the northeast, north and east sides of the plot
are provided with sloping terrain and then the massiveness is increased
systematically from southeast to south west, with a gradual rise towards the
south west and slope towards the north east, then the nabhi of such a plot acts
as the centre of all energies emerging from the interior of the earth and other
cosmic energies. This results in the creation of an envelope of life sustaining
energy vibrations around the entire vastu.
Raising of the plinth in the south direction,
having a underground water tank or open water body in the north, east or
northeast direction and all such tenets of vastu planning as explained before,
help to achieve the golden ratio and implement the helix concept in a house. A
few predominant effects are -
1. Interrupting the south pingala current
flow.
2. Achieving energy-mass balance through, proportionate compensation
for geomagnetic and energy disturbances.
3. Augmenting the north idla current flow, bestowing the vastu with drive
bliss.
4. Regulating the excessive southern zone temperatures through water vapour
emission processes of trees like nilgiri and neem.
5. Creating healthy atmosphere in the house through the scent and aroma of
herbal plants.
6. Enhancing the quality of the vastu through beneficial effects of
transverse polarisation of sunlight falling on an open water surface.
The Importance Of Shape
Every shape in nature has definite role to play.
Environmental circumstances and conditions dictate shape, and other qualities
of living and nonliving entities. The helix or the spiral has been
considered as a shape that is union of right angle and a sphere. The
right angle represents the existence, a thought (purush) and the sphere represent
the shadow of existence, a sentiment (prakriti). The right angle with the
spiral flow of energy forms the sacred and growing shape.
The circle represents a state of flux,
the expanding energy from it's centre evolving it's shape, ultimately
culminating in the square.
Squares and rectangles represent dynamically
balanced figures and shapes. Squares and rectangles match their axes with geo-magnetic
axis. Force lines of gravitation and magnetism do not form any zigzag pattern
in square and rectangle. The flow of elementary particles through such figures
will hardly intersect the network of force lines. This will lead to a healthy,
good and salubrious cosmic environment.
The most preferred shape in the vastushastra
is square as it does justice to all the eight directions. The square
symbolises order, stability, and the final state of evolving life. It is
perfection beyond life and death. The essence of the square is retained by any
mandala as long as the area is kept unaltered. It embodies prithvai tatwa which
in turn symbolises shabda (speech), sparsha (touch), roop (shape), rasa
(taste), and gandha (smell), the entities catalysts of worldly pleasures.
Rectangles with the minor axis along the
east-west direction and major axis along the north-south will have the least
lateral perimeter exposure to the sun, resulting in cooler and shadow sections,
whereas in the reverse case where the minor axis is along the north-south
direction, a very large perimeter gets exposed to the sun which is
objectionable in vastushastra.
Any excessively high temperature characteristics create disturbance in magnetic
force lines, imparting them with random zigzag pathways leading
to cosmic hazards. Hence in old structures, thick walls are found on the
south side which has outstanding characteristics to resist radiation effects.
Planning Vastu In Plots Of
Irregular Shape
The position of house in a plot, the size and the
shape of the house are of extreme importance for attaining requisite virtues in
a vastu through balancing of known and unknown forces made possible
by proper location of the vastu in a vastu kshetra. A good balanced
posture of a house in a plot bestowing divine bliss on the household can be
planned by giving due consideration to the effective influence of each
direction.

Extended south direction means reduced stress concentration
requiring reduced matter content. |
|
Due to additional northeast and reduced south and southwest,
there is excessive stress concentration towards the south due to
coagulation of magnetic force lines from extended north region getting focus
on a small width of south region. Creating basements towards
the north and northeast, with provision for higher and dense zones towards
the south, southwest and south east sides. can reduce the vastudosha in this
case. Landscaping and plantation should also be considered to
minimise the stress on the south. |
|
|
|
Extended south implies reduced stress concentration, thereby allowing
normal loading on the south side. Load in the southeast zone is to be
increased by raising southeast plinth or adding extra floor in south
east. Reduced north can be compensated by construction of basement
and placing some water source in the north direction. Availability of excess
southeast zone permits the building alignment to be shifted to the southeast
corner to match the overall centre of construction with the shifted
centre of energy of the entire plot. |
