The Origin of Vaastu Shastra

The Origin of Vaastu Shastra

Like most other modern day arts and sciences, the science of Vaastu Shastra also originates from the Vedas and in different traditions has been said to have been revealed to  Viśvakarmā ji.

Viśvakarmā ji is said to be the first Ācārya and the first Architect. Architectural lore as propounded by him formed the nucleus of the subsequent treatises, the Viśvakarma-Vāstuśāstra or Śilpa-śāstra, the Purāṇas, the works like Bṛhatsaṃhitā of Varāhamihira and the Vāstu-texts like the Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra.

Another equally ancient and important architectural tradition of our land, is the Maya school, of which the Muni Maya, the Asura, was the first Ācārya and the first Architect.


‘Vaastu-Shastra’ is unique as it advances much beyond modern architecture, by considering not just the physical layout but also the energy-field and spiritual dimensions of a given space.

Elements and Directions

Based on nature and striving to achieve balance between the various forces of nature, the science of vaastu for residential places takes into account the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether) and ten directions (north, south, east, west, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west, space and pataal) and seeks to harmonize them

Earth

Earth

Earth (Prithvi Tatva) plays a pivotal role in our survival – it is the brick and mortar of our being, quite literally! Same applies to the buildings we live in.


The land on which the building rests, the soil, the material that is used for construction of various elements, all play an important role in determining the life of the building and health of its inmates.


South-West (SW) is assigned to Earth. It is the most stable of all elements. Keep it heavy. It is ideal for the master bedroom.

Water

Water

Water (Jal Tatva) controls the aspect of fertility and growth – our body and even planet earth is 3/4th water.

It is therefore important to ensure the place of the building has an adequate supply of water, and the construction is done in accordance to supply of water.

It is also extremely important to plan the outflow of spent water from the house or building, and as well as slope of various surfaces so that the water does not stand and breed disease. North-East (NE) is assigned to Water. Have a bore well or an underground water tank in that direction.

Fire

Fire

Fire (Agni Tatva) is responsible for fueling all actions – as sun providing heat and light to the world, as digestive fire providing energy to body, as fire of tapa fueling the spiritual journey.

To enhance the productivity and efficiency of various operations in a building as well as for well-being of the residents it is important to channelize the fire element in a judicious manner.


Care should be taken to allow ample sunlight in the space, and to work out a structure that withstands the changes in time of day and season. South-East (SE) is assigned to Fire. Have your kitchen, pantry, furnace, boiler there.

Air

Air

Air (Vayu Element) is the most mobile of all elements, it is also the carrier of maximum disease in the body, while also being the primary source of vital breath for humans.


In a building, care should be taken to ensure every part of it is well-ventilated, there is regulation of temperature and pressure, there is protection from winds, the direction of flow of air and outlet for congested/heavy air are also essential.

North-West (NW) is assigned to Air. Have a guest-room or bedroom for unmarried girls or a store for finished goods in that direction.

Space

Space

Space

Space (Akash Tatva) is the element which houses all of the above elements, it also houses thoughts, sounds and other energies.


The shape, size, spread, dimensions of the building should be conducive to maintaining a balance between various elements and energies.

Centre is assigned to Space. Have least possible activity in this area.
