Vastu

Whenever we construct any home or shop, we need to take a special note of some important aspects, with which we can enrich our lives and get rid of various problems and issues. Vastu Shastra helps us in identifying the patterns while constructing the office or house and describes the architectural science through the verses of astrology.

Whenever we plan on constructing any building, it gets influenced by all five elements (Air, Water, Earth, Fire, and Sky). A slight imbalance between these elements can cause new problems to arise in our lives. Additionally, living or working in such a place where there is a disparity between elements can adversely affect us.

The significance of Vastu Shastra can be heard and seen in the ancient Agni Puranas, Matsya Purana, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita etc. In addition to this, renowned sages such as Maharishi Vashishth, Kashyap, Garg, Atri, and Indra, Vishvakarma and Vasudeva have spoken and recognized this tool widely.

Under this science, 10 different directions are taken into consideration. North, South, East, and West are the principal directions. Apart from this, there are four angular or auxiliary directions called Vidishayein, which are North East, North West, South East, and South West. Adding to the list are Sky (Aakash) and Underground (Patal), thereby making it a total of 10. The centre of the plot is known as the Brahma Sthana.
