Vaastu Vidya’s
knowledge is one of the most valuable treasures of ancient Indian knowledge.
The word Vaastu means to dwell and Vidya means science; hence Vaastu Vidya is
the sacred science related to designing and building houses .Viswakarma, Maya and
many more are the sthapathis (Architects Sculptors, Engineers, painters, Interior
Designers etc, of devas and Asuras dealing with the science of Vastu. The most
important books like Manasara, Mayamatam Viswakarma, Vastu sastram, Vastu
vidya, Silpa Vignana Sangraham Silparatnam, Brihatsamhita etc and many more
written in sanskrit are the classics of Vaastu. In addition to the above
ancient works, the principle vastu shilpsastra are abundantly found in the
various puranas like Agni purana, Brahmananda purana, Devi Purana, Varaha
Puranam, Vishnu Dharmottara Puranam etc.
According to Indian Shilpacharyas the term
Shilp Shastra includes the three division of vaastu, Construction of houses,
Temples, Palaces etc., otherwise known as architecture.
Vaastu is rooted in Vedic philosophy, which
emerged around 4500 years ago. Vaastu aims to restore the balance between the
home ( the microcosm) and the cosmos ( the macrocosm), bringing health, wealth
and happiness.
According
to Vaastu, the external and the internal are interchangeable, for underlying
energies that govern the elements, such as Air, or Fire, are the same as those
that control the organs of the human body. However, in recent times, the
essential connection between the two has been forgotten, modern human kind
having dissociated itself from the fundamental forces that govern the universe.
Vaastu
contains the hidden key to realigning the home with cosmic principals such as
solar energy, the movement of the celestial spheres, the magnetic field of the
earth, gravity and the influence of the moon and the sun.
In Vaastu, it is understood that the energy lines
run like a large grid across the earth, from North to South and from East to
West. Orientating living and working space using a proper compass in accord
with these space directions has a direct influence on the residents. This
electromagnetic field affects the human body at a vibratory level, as each
single cell in the body acts like a receiver. Human consciousness also responds
instinctively to the cardinal directions; the east is the direction from which
the Sun rises, ushering each new day, thereby representing the essence of all beginnings;
the west indicates opposite, for as the Sun dims we are reminded of endings,
the unknown, and the darkness; the North is the direction of the Pole Star; the
fixed point in the sky that denotes the stability and security; the South
represents the past and our ancestry. These cardinal points symbolize earth and
the ground rocks, from which all forms emerge.
If
the mind is upset, the whole body is thrown out of balance, inducing illness.
The energy channels of the body, or nadis, receive subtle cosmic energy
referred to as prana. Vaastu principles stipulates that if prana is functioning
properly within the home, it ensures good health, wealth and happiness. Those
who ignore the advice of the Vaastu Shastras ( rules and regulations pertaining
to Vaastu) will experience continual sorrow and disappointment.
