| The eternal wisdom
of the ancients |
 |
The ancient art of Ayurveda is part of the wisdom and
lore of India. Its power and efficacy is recognized across
the world. Just like vastu, the origins of Ayurveda can
be found in ancient India. The two share a common language
and common goals, that is, to enhance the well being of
body, mind and spirit. One can not think of health without
the proven system of Ayurveda.there is so much wisdom
to be found in this medical system. a human body is made
up of Panchabhutas i.e. Sky,Air,Fire,Water
and Earth and these have a direct effect on the human
mind and body. However, man in order to safeguard himself
from the severity of the panchbhutas constructed the first
house. This automatically created a barrier between him
and the elements and made it all the more essential for
him to construct the house only after careful planning. |
Thus evolved vastu Shastra, which allowed
man to plan his house in such a way that instead of becoming
an obstruction, the house becomes a correct receptor of
panchbhutas.
Ayurveda, which is based on eternal principles, lays stress
on how to live life, which is in harmony with the environment
around us. from this it is easy to understand that human
health is greatly affected by the Panchabhutas.the focus
of Ayurveda is on healing, prevention and rejuvenation
of one’s health through Ayurveda”s system
of balance. This balance is achieved through living in
accordance with nature’s laws as also by construction
and layout of house according to Vastu.ayurveda also upholds
the existence of cosmic energy, which affects both mind
and body. in its case it takes three individual forms
of vata,pitta and Kapha.
Putting it simply, both Vastu and Ayurveda are two sides
of same coin, both having the potential to heal the mind
and body if used correctly. |
| The Treasure of Ancient India |
One of the most valuable treasures of ancient
India, Vaastu Shastra is believed to have been in existence
for over 5000 years. It is derived from the Vedas and
is rooted in Vedic philosophy. The word Vaastu means to
dwell, and Vaastu Shastra is the sacred science of designing
and building houses.Vaastu aims to restore the balance
between the home and the cosmos, that is the microsm and
the macrosm, bringing health, wealth and happiness to
individuals. It has long been known that health and happiness
do not rely solely on things such as food or exercise.
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 called prana.Vaastu
stipulates that if prana is functioning properly within
the home, it ensures good health, wealth and happiness.
Those who ignore the advice of vaastu Shastra
experience continual sorrow and disappointment. |
| The Vastu
Principles |
|
The principles of vastu have emerged from a mythology.
Although they are constrained by ancient universal laws,
they are unchanged by time and remain as relevant today
as they were 5000 years ago. According to vastu,the external
and the internal are interchangeable, because the underlying
energies are the same that govern the elements, such as
wind or fire, and the organs of the human body.Vastu states
that when buildings and forms are in tune with the underlying
cosmic principles, they become a part of the basic structure
of the universe and vibrate in harmony with it. These
positive vibrations have a different effect on the inhabitants. |
In vastu, energy lines run like a large
grid across the earth, from North to South and from east
towest.If our living and working spaces are oriented according
to these directions, it has a direct influence on the
residents. The East, from where where the sun rises represents
the essence of all begnings.The West indicates the opposite,
for as the sun dims we are reminded of endings, the unknown
and darkness. The North is the direction of the Pole star,
the fixed point in the sky that denotes stability and
security. The South represents the past and our ancestry.
These cardinal points symbolize earth and the ground rock,
from which all forms emerge.
The science of Vastu is complete in itself and, if properly
applied, will ensure happiness in worldly life.Vastu acts
as abridge between the inner spaces of being and outer
spaces of natural order. Inner spaces come under natural
control and constraints of Yogashastra.Outer spaces are
covered in the knowledge of astrology through in media
of 27 constellations, 12 signs of the zodiac, 9 planets
and their correlations. |
| The Logic of Vastu |
| The Ancients believed that the mind and
body have different activities depending on the time of
the day. They designed and originated and oriented various
components of a house to harmonize the movement of the
sun and daily human cycle according to the rotation of
the earth and the position of the sun throughout the day.
They divided the 24 hours into eight, representing the
eight cardinal directions. The nature of each activity
reflects the quality of each direction. Houses that are
not properly aligned have no sense of orientation, and
cause restlessness, misfortune, and sickness. |
| Time & Activity |
The period between 3 am and 6 am, just before
sunrise is called Brahma Muhurta.This time the sun is
in the Northeastern section of the house. These hours
are ideal for Yoga, meditation, or study.
From 6 am to 9 am, the sun is in the eastern part of the
house, which should be low lying to absorb the beneficial
ultraviolet rays. This is the time for bathing and preparing
for the day, so east is good location for bathroom.
The time between 9 am to 12 in the noon, when the sun
is in the Southeast part of the house, is the best time
for preparing food to be eaten later in the day. The kitchen
and the bathroom are both wet areas of the house, positioned
to receive the strong sunlight to keep them dry and hygienic.
After lunch it is time for rest, so the time between noon
and 3 pm is called Vishranti, the resting period. The
sun is now in the south, the best position for a bedroom.
Now time for studying and work, and the sun is now in
the southwest section of the house, the ideal location
for a study or library.
The period between 6 pm and 9 pm is the time for eating,
sitting or reading. The west is the best location for
dining or sitting room.
The time between 9 pm and midnight, when the sun is in
the Northwest part of the house, where cowshed is located,
was the time to attend to the animals. This part is a
good location for another bedroom.
The time between midnight and 3 am, when the sun is in
the Northern section, is the time of darkness and secrecy.
The North is the best place to hide treasure or valuables,
to keep them protected. |
| Vastu Tips |
 |
• Vastu acts as a bridge
between the inner space of being and outer spaces come
under natural control and constraints of yogshastra.Outer
spaces are covered in the knowledge of astrology through
its media of 27 constellations.12 signs of the zodiac,
9 planets and their correlations.
• A vastu
with hundred percent matching characteristics and performance
as espoused in vastu shastra is an idealistic condition.
In practice, it is decidedly necessary or sometimes,
.even sufficient to achieve a minimum of 50 percent to
60 percent of the characteristics of the ideal conditions
in a vastu. |
• Particular zones or directions have
enhanced positivety for particular class of people. North
is related to intellectuals. East is related to military
and police people. South is related to businessman and
traders. west related to working class.
•
The prayer room should be planned in such a manner that
the back of the goddess should touch the east wall, with
the person facing the east while performing the puja.
• Land with shape similar to back of turtle,
circular shape, and triangular shape will not lead to
holistic environment.
• Wealth and cash
should be stored in the North. The person should face
towards north when storing or retrieving cash.
• Even colorful Rangoli and Alpana, which we put
in the houses, produce positive emanations.
•
East sloping land is prosperous, southeast sloping is
death promotive,southeast sloping loses wealth, west sloping
indicates loss of offspring, north sloping is prosperous,
northeast sloping is good for education and hollow in
centre indicates hardships.
• It is considered
profitable to purchase additional adjoining land on the
north, northwest, and east sides. On no account should
any land be acquired on the south or west sides, once
a house has been constructed on a plot.
•
The main door should not open inside the house. The total
number of doors, windows and ventilators in the house
should be even in number i.e. 2, 4, 6 etc. but should
not end with a 0, that is 10, 20 etc.
•
The geometrical axis of the plot should be aligned with
the axis of the earth’s magnetic field, that is,
one set of boundaries of a plot should be parallel to
the North-South axis and the other set to east- West axis.
If the boundary lines are not parallel to the magnetic
axis, such land is poor for overall growth, peace and
happiness.
• The land should be elevated
towards the South and West sides and it should be lower
in North and East sides for overall growth and happiness.
• If the ratio of two adjacent sides of a size
is 1:1 and every corner is a 90 degree angle ,it is called
a square and is best for overall growth. If the ratio
of width and depth of a site is within 1:15 and all corners
are of 90 degree, it is also good for growth. If the depth
is more than twice the width, the size becomes weaker
for growth. |
| Positive entrances |
| These are indicated by the colour green.
The south of the South-East corner and the west of the
north-west corner are thought to be moving in the direction
of north-east and are therefore considered positive. |
| Moderate Entrance |
| These are indicated by the colour yellow
and are considered to be neutral locations for doorways. |
| Negative Entrance |
| Red shows negative entrances, as they allow
movement of negative energy. The east side of the south
east corner and the north side of the north-west corner
are both moving towards the south-west and are negative. |
| The Five elements |
Eather, Air, Fire, water and Earth are the
five natural elements known as Mahabhutas.Though each
one of them has an independent character; they act upon
one another in a distinctive way when brought together.
All five elements should be present in abundance within
the home to make it vibrant and filled with positive energy.
Eather
The other four elements depend on the medium of space
or eather to circulate freely. Since space corresponds
to the sense of hearing in the humans, there should be
pleasant, soothing sound and calm space at home.Eather
governs the north east section of a building, which should
be kept open and spacious to allow the beneficial influences
of the cosmic rays. This is the best area for peaceful
introspection, meditation and Yoga.
Air
Vayu or air the breath of the purusha is the ally of Agni,
as air feeds fire. Both elements have a restless quality
about them. It is represented by touch in the human body
and, therefore, it is important to furnish a house with
pleasing textures and surfaces and to allow an abundance
of fresh, free flowing air. The North West section of
any space is ruled by the elements of either air or water.
Fire
Fire or Agni is a predominant element symbolizing the
vital spark of life. It corresponds to the sight in human
beings. Within the home, lighting, colours and temperature
are all important ingredients. Fire is depicted by a triangle,
so a building on a triangular shaped plot should be avoided
because it invokes unwelcome fire. The fire element governs
the south east quarter of building and is the best location
for kitchen. Agni is also connected with the digestive
system of the body so the food clocked in the south east
direction assures health.
Water
Water has the same restlessness as air, being a fluid.
It symbol is a circle, circular buildings or constructions
tend to cause feelings of restlessness. Taste represents
the water element and is closely linked to the sense of
smell. In the home represents the plumbing system and
all the various reflective surfaces such as mirror and
glass. The North west is the good area for bathroom or
guestroom, since these are the places where many different
people may come and go without necessarily staying for
long periods.
Earth
Earth or Prithvi represents the quality of form and is
the ground on which the other three elements - water,
fire and air, function. It is analogous to the sense of
smell.Pleasent smell and pleasing aromas need to be present
in the abundance within the home. The south west quarter
of the home is ruled by earth and, because of the earth
tolerant characteristic, can accept heavy weight. The
south west is the best place in a room to place heavy
cumbersome furniture and storage cupboard.
When all the elements discussed so far are the super imposed
on one another, they form a complete energetic picture
which is referred to as vastu purush Mandal.this image
should not be taken literally but figuratively, as it
represents the multy layered forces that are at work within
a confined space. |
Vibrations, wave, sound and light are the
four parameters, which define everything in this world.
These four parameters are used in vastu science to rectify
and reinforce the qualities of a house.
Colour of sun-Morning sun emits positive ultra-violet
rays represented by blue-violet. As it reaches its zenith
it emits infra-red rays represented by red-yellow. Green
remains neutral. |
