Why Vastu Is Necessary ?
Vaastu considered the interplay of various forces of nature
involving the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and strives to
maintain equilibrium as these elements influence, guide and change the living
styles of not only human beings but every living being on earth. Thus they
influence our deeds, luck, behavior and other basics of life.
Vastu
Shastra is the sublime elucidation of your surrounding and their influence on
your life. Vastu literally means " house" or Dwelling Place and its principles
establish to create a harmony between the fine elements viz. Earth, Sky, Fire,
Water and Air in the environment.
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.
Vastushastra is an ancient building
science which covers the philosophy and theory of Architectural works to
construct any building and as well as living style of people. Vastushastra is
based on various natural energies, which are available free cost in atmosphere
like:
- Solar Energy from Sun. Lunar Energy from Moon
- Earth Energy
- Sky Energy
- Electric Energy
- Magnetic Energy
- Thermal Energy
- Wind Energy
- Light Energy
- Cosmic Energy

Utilization of such energies gives us pleasure peace, prosperity
and money etc in our life. Now a days we are having National Building code,
which gives us certain regulations to construct building, whereas in past our
ancestors were having Vastu Shastra as a religious & rigourics code. As per
shastra Vastu Purush is god of building science, hence let us pray. Thus Vastu
is rational, as it is scientific, it is permanent as it is based on directions
and directions are unchangeable. It is beneficial as it is a bridge between man,
material and nature and above all it is practical, as it is very simple to
follow. Build your house according to the guidelines provided by vaastu and lead
a healthy and happy life.
Vastu can be used for every room, every house,
every temple, every shop industry, town planning, tour, cities and even for
earth. Vastu can be used for micro as well as for macro level.
Every
creature on earth starts its life with sunrise as it performs day & night.
Hence there is much importance of sun in every one life. It gives ultra violet
rays in morning and infra red rays in evening which one basic need to reduce /
generate bio-chemical germs, N2/ Oxygen / CO2 on earth.
Sun indicates
light (illumination) will power, generosity, solar system, luck or fate,
mobility and in body. It rules over bone, eye, heart, spinalcord, blood
circulation and soul etc. Hence east direction is auspicious; it belongs to lord
Indra. North is considered auspicious since magnetic lines of forced moves from
North to South, thus origin of all the life.
There are three forces in
action to create harmony. Wind, water and fire or, vaayu, jal and Agni. If these
forces are kept in their appropriate places, then there will be no disturbance.
But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other
combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and
unpeacefulness.
Authenticity Of Vastu The biggest Proof of
vaastushastra can be found during the time of Ramayan and Mahabharat. Even in
the cities of Mohanjodaro and Harappa the application of vaastushastra can be
seen. Since the science goes far back to the times of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna
there are many interesting mythological stories concerning the origin of
Vaastupurush (the deity).
If you consider it a mythological fact then
here are the most unbelievable examples that Vastu is a science and one must
follow it wholeheartedly.
Geographical situation of an area affects the
nature thus the vastu for every place changes. We see that some countries are
much advanced, developed and prosperous while others are much backward. For
e.g.
- Japan, existence of deep water in North and the East is considered most
auspicious according to vastu shastra. The eastern side of Japan is widely
spread and open. Thus Japan gets full benefit of the rays of the sun. This is
why Japan is rich and prosperous. There is sea in Southeast and south of Japan,
which is a place for Fire, this is why it suffered the attack of atom bombs
explosion and earthquake.
- If we take Africa as a continent, we all know the northeastern corner of
this continent is interjected. Northwest portion is projected, southeast and
south have unlimited water, these all conditions are inauspicious according to
vastu, that's why African countries are backward, uneducated, poor. But on the
contrary, in the north of this continent, there exists Mediterranean Sea, which
is favorable according to vastu. In the eastern part, river Nile flows and
that's why civilization developed in Egypt and now Egypt got name and honour for
its world famous pyramids.
- Why to go far, lets discuss our own INDIA, we know we have the Himalayas in
the North and Northeast side of our country which is against vastu, thus there
is lot of poverty in our country. There is water in Southwest and southeast side
of our nation, thus we have to face the attacks of foreign empires. One thing
that makes India famous is that we have our slope towards east, which is a very
favourable and auspicious sign.

Apart from the geographical conditions and different nations, if
we take examples within our country, you will be surprised to see. Have you ever
thought that why tajmahal is so famous that it has become the 7th wonder of the
earth and why exactly similar structure called"chandbibi ka makbara" situated in
Aurangabad is not yet known to the people. Why is so that the Tirupati balaji is
world famous and other temples situated in the same regions are still waiting
for the pilgrims to come…. This is all vastu , they are famous because they are
made according to vastu.
Thus to achieve the happiness, peace and
prosperity, one must follow the principles of vastu.
Vaastu is an
empirical science. Over the years, based on the knowledge in the Vedas, repeated
studies on a number of buildings, offices, temples, houses, apartments have
shown a positive correlation between the application of Vaastu principles and
success. It can be extensively applied to various edifices natural and man made
land masses, temples, factories, homes, office buildings and corporate
headquarters.
Water in the Northeast is considered most auspicious and
Japan has the largest water body in this direction, a reason for its being one
of the most prosperous countries in the world. Mumbai again has water in the
North East and the Atomic Power Plant (Agni) in the South East thus according to
Vaasthu principles and the most powerful, prosperous place in India.
The
location and construction of the famous Balaji Temple, the most prosperous in
India, are all according to Vaastu: Water tank in the Northeast, Kitchen in
Southeast, and the Lord in Southwest facing East and so on. Studies conducted on
cities like New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong etc have shown they are
according Vaastu principles.
The most famous prosperous industrial
houses have also been studied; The Tata head quarters in Mumbai, Akbarallys the
most successful retail store in India, factories of FACOR a highly successful
industry in A.P. and many others have been found to be according to Vaastu.
