Understanding Vastu Shastra

Vastu shastra refers to the ‘indian art of placement’. Vastu in Sanskrit means house or dwelling that is in harmony with nature. Vastu sastra is an ancient Indian science and art that encompasses principles and practices of constructing houses in a manner so as to bring about a harmonious balance between man and his nature. Such a harmony would ensure all-round good health, well-being and prosperity. As with many an ancient culture, Indians divide the primaeval elements into 5 –. Earth (Prithvi), Air (Vayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jal) and Atmosphere (Akash). The belief is that the space condenses into air, which in turn gives birth to fire. Fire transmutes into water and the final transformation of water is the Earth. The Earth is the culmination of the process of genesis.
