What is vastu shastra and how it will be useful for life?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient doctrine born out of a traditional view on how the laws of nature affect the human dwellings. Vastu is primarily applied in the case of Hindu temples which nowadays are also applied to human dwellings. Vastu is mainly a part of Hindu Architecture. Vastu also applies to poetry, dance and sculpture. Vastu is in fact a Sanskrit word which means a house with a corresponding plot of land. This, on a general note, also means science, doctrine or teaching, Vastu Shastra includes a lot of principles which in turn follow a lot of mathematical calculations used with regards to the proportional relationships in a building.
Vastu Shastra is mainly applied to ensure maximum well being and the benefits of the people occupying a particular house or a building.
Vastu Shastra teaches that the world comprises of five basic elements: earth, water, air, fire and space and all of the Vastu principles revolve around these five primary elements. Believers of Vastu are of the say that the above mentioned five elements, also known as the Pancha Maha Bhoota have an invisible and constant relationship between each other. Each of these elements has a significant impact on the lives and well being of human beings, hence if a house or a building can be constructed considering the effectiveness of these five natural forces, the well being of the occupants can be ensured. Vastu helps by combining all these five natural forces and balances them with the person and the material, thereby taking advantage of the benefits bestowed by these elements. This brings about spiritual well being and paves the way for enhanced wealth and prosperity of the people.
For every part of house that is pooja room, kitchen, bedroom, living room, arrangement of toilet etc rules are specified in vastu shastra. If it is followed really well at the time of new constructions the owner is bound to get good results of it. This is a science which is useful to reduce the gravity of problems faced by human beings due to wrong arrangement in their vastu.
