Anyone will agree to the fact
that we, humans, spend most of their time inside a building be it our home,
office or anything else.
It’s also a fact that all things
in the universe have a level of energy associated with them.
Hence, it’s apt to say that all
buildings and even the land on which a building is erected has vibrations of
energy associated with it.
Deducing from above, it’s easy
to visualize that we are constantly bombarded with energies 24×7.
Some energies are positive (with
pleasing effects) while others are negative (having terrible effects) on us.
Vastu aims to eliminate
negative and enhance positive energy present at a place or
location so that a person, family or even business inhabiting a building become
prosperous and progressive. In simple terms we can say that Vastu aims to make
harmonious buildings at places in tune with mother-nature, so that the human
inhabiting the building, lives well balanced and happy life.
Like many of India’s ancient
science and knowledge, vastu shastra also got neglected and received very less
attention over centuries, hence today’s fast paced society has very limited or
no knowledge of vastu and find it difficult to appreciate and use the benefits
of vastu while purchasing/constructing home, office, shop etc.
What Happens if a Building
Doesn’t Follow Vastu Shastra?
We can certainly say that if a
building is not constructed on the rules and principles of vastu shastra then
the thinking and action of people inhabiting or working in these buildings is
not harmonious and progressive.
Dwelling in a building which is
not according to Vastu shastra principles can lead to loss of money, physical
illness or disorder and in some cases untimely death of
inhabitant or some near and dear ones.
On the other hand, if the
building follows principles of vastu then all Divine Powers help and
support people’s positive thinking and progressive actions.
How Did Vastu Shastra Originate?
In ancient India, people
believed house as a living organism and treated constructing a house as sacred
ceremony.
Also, they named the spirit
dwelling in the house as Vastu Purusha.
Why?
It’s because of an ancient
Indian story of Vastu Purusha.
You can read the story of Vastu Purusha and
significance of Vastu Purusha Mandala to know more about the
basis of vastu shastra.
Believe me, it’s very
interesting!!!
As per vastu shastra, different
directions belong to different Gods that supervise respective sectors of the
house.
For example, God supervises
Eshan or North-East direction and hence is best suitable for prayer room; Agni
(Fire element) supervises South-East direction and hence is best suitable for
Kitchen.
This means that if various
sections and activities related to each section of a house, office, shop etc.
stick to principles of vastu shastra then, we start to draw the power of nature
effortlessly and achieving goals is easy, spontaneous and effortless.
Many rules of vastu shastra are
simple common sense as they relate to ventilation, amount and quality of
sunlight a building receives etc.
But some principles of vastu
shastra relate to energy field of earth and subtle energy fields in natural and
constructed environments.
Also, people living/working in
such buildings have appreciated and verified the effects of these
fields.
Vastu Shastra and Link to The
Universe
As we all know that Sun is the
most important celestial body which radiates light and heat and is the reason
for existence of life on earth; that’s why Sun is known as the “Soul of
Universe” in ancient Indian texts.
The principles of vastu shastra
allow humans to use limitless energy of Sun in best possible way.
The earth, which is our
planetary home, is like a mother and is a treasure-house for all comforts and
happiness which a human cannot find anywhere else.
Guidelines of vastu shastra
enables human to draw on all-embracing role of mother earth for best results.
If you have read and understood
Vastu Purusha Mandala then I am sure you also understood above point, else I
insist you read it, here’s the link; Vastu Purusha and Vastu Purusha
Mandala.
Benefits of Vastu Shastra
Many factors govern the life of
a human being; his fate, karma and vastu of the place where he lives and work.
Apart from karma of a person,
fate and vastu affects life’s quality.
If the Vastu is poor but the
fate of a person is good, then results obtained can range from poor to
mediocre; where as if the Vastu is good and fate is unfavourable then the ill
effects are minuscule.
It is important to follow vastu
shastra guidelines while constructing a house, shop or any other structure as
it changes a man’s destiny for betterment.
