Vastu
🏡 What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture and space design. The term “Vastu” means dwelling or house, and “Shastra” means science or scripture. Together, Vastu Shastra is the traditional Hindu system of building design, based on natural energies and universal elements.
It aims to create harmony between humans and their surroundings by balancing the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—in your home or workplace.
✨ What Does Vastu Do?
Vastu helps in planning and designing buildings in a way that:
Promotes health, peace, and prosperity
Aligns your space with positive cosmic energy
Enhances mental well-being, financial stability, and spiritual growth
Removes Vastu doshas (imbalances or blockages of energy)
🌟 Basic Principles of Vastu:
Directions Matter:
Each direction (North, South, East, West) has its own ruling element and energy. For example:North-East (Ishaan) is ideal for pooja rooms or meditation
South-East (Agni) is best for kitchens (Fire element)
South-West (Nairutya) should be used for master bedrooms (stability)
Five Elements (Panchamahabhutas):
Earth (Prithvi): Foundation and stability
Water (Jal): Purity and flow
Fire (Agni): Power and energy
Air (Vayu): Movement and freshness
Space (Aakash): Expansion and openness
Balance and Flow:
Vastu emphasizes open, clutter-free spaces that allow natural light and air to flow properly.
🧭 Common Vastu Tips:
Keep the main entrance clean and well-lit — it’s the gateway for energy.
Place mirrors on the North or East walls, never on the South.
A money plant or small water fountain in the North-East can attract wealth.
Avoid having toilets or heavy storage in the North-East corner.
Sleep with your head facing South for better health and rest.
🙏 Is Vastu Similar to Feng Shui?
Yes, in concept. Like Feng Shui (from China), Vastu Shastra focuses on energy flow, directions, and balance—but it’s based on Vedic traditions and aligned with Indian beliefs, planets, and deities.
