Vasthu Vidhya (Science of Architecture)
All sciences in Indian culture explain and relate all the facts
and phenomena related to the human body, mind, , intelligence Awareness and
Consciousness. All the branches of Vedic sciences are interrelated and
interdependent and have great beneficial influence over life on earth.
Great emphasis is laid on the energy field that is generated in our body,
mainly through thoughts which is streamlined by the intellect and powered by
the Awareness. This generated energy should be harmonious to external energy
field of nature.
When we built a house or
building we will tend to disrupt the harmonious interaction of our generated
energy field to that of the nature's energy field. Vasthu is a science
of designing that ensures that a harmonious flow of energy is present
in the building and that of nature.
Vasthu considered the interplay of various forces of
nature involving the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and space and
strives to maintain equilibrium as these elements influence, guide and
change the living styles of not only human beings but also every living
being on earth. Thus, they influence our deeds, luck, behavior and other
basics of life.
'Vasthu' - 'A Place of Dwelling'
The Sanskrit word 'Vasthu' means 'dwelling place' and it is derived from the
root verb 'Vas' that means to 'dwell'.
