Old sciences and technologies identified that the arrangement of objects imparts properties to the composite object made up of these individual objects. The science is called
Vaastu Shastra in India (also known as
vastu shastra) and Feng shui in china. Both the sciences almost aim at same thing and approach from slightly different angle.
Vaastu shastra is very much believed even now and strictly followed in constructions of houses.People are with strong belief that any house constructed without following the vastu shastra technology is doomed and invite lots of troubles , freely. Feng shui also stresses the same thing. It is imperative, to harness the amazing power of nature and live in tune with it since we ourselves are evolved from nature, we live in nature and would perish and return back to nature. Records and scriptures are full of testimonials from all people from all walks of life,on how Vastu helped them reap great benefits.
Be it a home, office, factory or a commercial block, Vastu has been known to reward the follower with benefits and protection from ill effects of life and unpredictable effects of nature. We live in, and are surrounded by, various types of energy fields which operate freely in open space. When we place a structure in our establishment, the equilibrium is affected. Vastu helps in so designing the structure that it ensures a harmonious flow of energy in the building and restoration of that equilibrium. Vastu Shastra is an ancient
Indian Vedic Science for construction of premises based on the forces and elements of nature. We can harness the positive energies and vibrations once the Vastu Shastra principles are incorporated within our homes and commercial work premises. This leads us to an atmosphere & environment where we experience harmony, peace, good health and success.
other Names for vastu: This is originally called
stapatya ved, and further referred as vaastu, vastu, vaastu shastra,
vastu vidya,
vedic architecture.
Is Vastu Shastra True? We
know , as per atomic theory, the property of an element depends on the configuration of electrons in an atom. The position of one single electron in the outer most orbit provides highest stability to the atom and the element becomes inert , like argon. The atom with higher valency, because of lonely single charged particles will have more bondage and form more combinations with other atoms. There will be sharing of electrons among atoms to establish strong bonds. When this is true, in the universe, defined by God, how can we not believe that the position of some building blocks in different array, configuration can not have an effect with a special properties.?
Similarly, in a sentence , the position of word changes the meaning. The position of comma may change meaning. Eg. "
Stop not , hang." is made up of three words. The same words when arranged differently, "
stop, hang not." is giving different meaning. Even the sentence constructed by human beings, the arrangement of the words (building blocks), position is giving different properties (meanings) , why not the real estate buildings? See this sentence:
God is no where, and
God is now here. just changing and replacing the letter (one single block) "w" , the sentence gives a completely different meaning. So, it is existing in the creation, that the position of any element, or building block is very important for the properties of the combination of that blocks. So, vaastu shastra is true, and
Feng shui is also true to large extent.
Benefits from Vaastu shastra or Feng shui
Vaastu Shastra defines where the fire for cooking should be located. Where water can flow , where heavy weights can be placed and where can not be placed. How many doors should be there for a room. Door to window ratios. In which direction entrance should be there. Always preferred to have entrance to east or north. That is when we enter into our house, we should be facing east or North. I have seen many houses which faced great mishaps when their vastu is not good. The troubles that a bad vaastu invites are like continuous ill health, sudden deaths, bankruptcy etc. If a house is already with bad vaastu, that can be changed with some modifications, which would reduce the ill effects. In india, 98% people surely follow this vaastu shastra . Without fear, how can all people follow a rule? When every one strongly believes out of their own experiences, then only these would be followed.
Feng shui is from china. That also indicates the same things, but in still lesser depth. It suggests what should be there in dining room, how the beds of a couple should be (should not be separted, nor made of two cots joined). Feng shui advises to have small bamboo plant in house, a frog toy, laughing budhdha idol, acquarium for the good of the home. Placing a poster of fruits, eatables in a dining room would be good .So, if any body has interest , this is a great area to research and explore with realistic data.
Countries also have vaastu, based on their sorrounding hills, flowing rivers. The great himalayas are a great asset to India and because of these great devine mountains on north sides, india flourished in civilization for milliniums. The other countries separated from composite India (that is india of 1800), like burma, pakistan, sri lanka, afghanistan, bangla desh are not flourishing but suffering with internal fights and became head ach for world peace. Separating from good vaastu and declaring independency ,(attracting different vastu) would change their fate. The
vaastu of lebonon, israel are also interesting to watch because of their continuous fights.
Presently lot of constructions in Great Britan, Canada are going on with vastu consultancy. They are providing vastu pyramid also for increasing the harmony and to increase flow of money with good vibrations.
