What is Vastushastra?
Human Beings are a part of nature. For a person to have a happy and satisfying life, his mind, intellect, body, and soul need to be properly balanced, protected, and managed. For this, Sages who know the universe created vastushastra so that they can live in the supreme vibration of happiness and contentment by creating natural oneness.
The Balance of the panchmahabhutas is necessary for the unity of consciousness and happiness in nature. At the same time, the Sun God, who gives life to all living beings, as well as the earth’s magnetism and gravitational attraction, are essential for the protection, conservation, and balance of the earth, and the proper balance of all these creates vibrations in nature.
In the same way, the existence of Panchmahabhuta also exists between human beings and animals. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are also caused by the imbalance of these Panchamahabhutas. That is why there should be consciousness in this encyclopedic body created by panchamahabhuta. The mind and body should be balanced and the mind and body should be endowed with the best benevolent virtues. The vitality should be increased. Balance with Panchmahabhuta, Surya, Shakti, Gravity, Magnetism, and many more.
Vastushastra is the science that is organized by presenting all these things in a mathematical manner Proving them on a scientific basis and considering the spiritual rites on the mind and soul which we do not see.

History of Vastushastra
Vastu shastra the ancient Science of geomancy & architecture was originated by Dev. Vastuspati, lord Shiva who gave it to vishvabarma, the architect of the celestials & one universe. It is part of vedas four to five thousand years old. It is in Atharvaveda. Vedas were written by yogis.
“Vastu” let me proceed in defining “Shastra” briefly.
A Shastra is nothing but a science. Hence, “Vastu Shastra” is both the science & art of building. These norms were first laid out by the absolute greats like “Maya”, “Mansara”, “Bhrigut”, “Vishwakarma” etc. They were 18 Rishis who are considered to be the founding pillars of this office Science.
We expect to be happy in the home we build, hope our family will continue to live in it for a long time. For this the home needs to enhance our physical, mental spiritual wellbeing. Vastu Shastra provides ways to do it.
Vastu Shastra teaches how to design & construct building that are in harmony with nature, that make the optional civilization of natural energies, light & air different deities & elements rule different areas of a site, this means cannot place your water tank in a place ruled by Agni Likewise you cannot have your kitchen in the place ruled by water.
In India, Mumbai vividly illustrates the significant of Vastu shastra. It has water in the north east while a nuclear power plant aptly sits in the region of Agni. All this make Mumbai a prosperous & powerful city.

Vastu Shastra effect on daily life
In vastushastra, the prime importance is given to the five elements & then comes the solar energy. I.e. Energy from the sun. When the sun rises, seven rays are emitted. How to use all these seven days vastushastra tells us. After the sun rises, ultraviolet rays that have the power to awaken one dormant human mind, which is called the Subconscious mind, go to the Northeast corner, Subconscious mind as awakened by the power of ultra-violet say That is why the god idols.
Study rooms are recommended to be situated in the northeast corner, and the infrared rays that have the power to kill bacteria, go to the southeast corner & the place where bacteria are maximum that’s why the kitchen should be placed in the southeast corner.
Generally, whenever we plan a floor plan, there is some set of rules in Vastu that everyone follows. The Kitchen has to be in the south-east, the living room has to be in the north, bedroom(s) have to be in east or west directions, and bathrooms and toilets have to be in south-west directions. The openings should be designed and installed in such a way that every room gets natural lighting and ventilation.
Why does these rooms have to be planned like this only?
We all know that Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But the part where our India is situated, here the sun rotates in east-south-west directions only. Many of us might don’t know about this.
You may think why are you say about this now? Because there is relation between the rotation of sun and planning of rooms. We spend most of the time in living room, so this should be situated in the north direction from where we get constant light in day time.
In south-east direction during morning we get UV rays from sun which have power to kill germs in the Kitchen, so that the germs die and we stay healthy.
In south-west, during evening the sunrays are very hot, due to which water evaporates easily in the bathrooms, without stagnant of water on the floor. Because of these, bedrooms should be placed in east or west directions, which was said by our ancestors.
This is the true Vaastu Shastra, In the past, the houses used to be spacious and the gap between the two houses is also large, due to which they had benefits of Vaastu. But now the situation is different, most of the people stay in the narrow houses only and there is no gap between the two individual houses or individual units of an apartment where they won’t get even natural lighting and ventilation. That’s why we started using Electrical lights, Fans, and Air Conditioners. If your house is spacious then follow Vaastu Shastra, you will have benefits from it.
Then there are many people who believe in False Vaastukar. This Vaastukar says that this door shouldn’t be put in this direction, windows have to be placed here only if the staircase is placed in this direction, and bad things occur. These are really false assumptions said them, don’t listen to them, this is superstition.
Natural lighting and natural ventilation are enough for a house, due to which we stay happy, healthy, and active. So, whenever you are going to construct a house contact an Architect, and your dream house come true.
