Much is being said about the ancient sciences, namely
Vaastushastra and its relevance in the present day living. Accepting it or
otherwise depends on individuals. Mere rejection of the Vaastushastra saying
that they are very old may not be in the interest of any individual. It is
better we know something about the Vaastushastra before deciding about its
validity. In the series it is proposed to explain about each aspect of Vaastu.
This is the first in the series on introduction.
Vaastushastra is a science. In Vaastushastra 'Sun'
assumes a most prominent role since the basic concept of Vaastu science is
based on solar system and has been derived from the ancient scriptures vizVedas. It hardly needs any explanation as to why the prominence is given to
Sun.
However we know that the sunlight reaches the planet
Earth through seven colours observed in the radiation. Sunlight and the
radiation control the entire life on this planet Earth. The seven colours in
the sunlight have been examined from ancient times and their effects on the
life and vegetation have been explained in Vaastushastra after a great deal of
study by the scholarly Rishis and saints of ancient India. The universe is
constituted by five elements namely Air,Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Sky.
These five elements, which are known as Pancha MahaBhootas are the basis for the existence of life. These elements have their own
characteristics and the energies created by these elements which is in circulation
have to be utilized by man (life). Maintaining an equilibrium as existence of
these energies in excess of what is required is not favourable for life. The
man resides in a house or some dwelling which is required provide these
energies in the required manner or proportions for his healthy living. The
dwelling is called Vaastu. Vaastushastra regulates construction of dwelling orbuildings.
The shastras have been formed with the sole object that
every person intending to have a place for living should enjoy good health,
prosperity and peace of mind. Vaastusastra does not only consider about theinterior of the house but also considers about the external surroundings and
the environment all around that is expected.
The Vaastushastra can be referred not only for taking
up new constructions, possession oflands for buildings but also for theexisting buildings and lands utilized for residential and commercial purposes.They can also be referred to in respect of the group housing apartment
buildings and lands utilized for residential and commercial purpose, they can
also be referred to in respect of the group housing apartment buildings. It is
remembered that for happiness in life, comforts, and prosperity that one
desires to have, his residence plays the most important role.
Vaastushastra can be fully utilized and plenty of
sources are available for utilisation to the fullest extent to overcome the
problems by making proper changes. There will be plenty of opportunities,
particularly in the present days when funds flow easily for construction ofbuilding or purchase of lands and building; when the properties becomeavailable hardly a reference is made to Vaastushastra about its suitability fora buyer. In the anxiety of possessing the property seldom a thought is given to
the fact whether the proposed property confirms to Vaastushastra.
It is to be remembered that the Shastra influences the
life of people residing in the properties. The building which are built in
accordance with or in total conformity of Vaastushashtra do not germinate evil
spirits or have adverse affects on the lives of the occupants of such
buildings. It is said the occupants enjoy good health, and harbor good thought.
It may not be desirable to say anything about the conditions of the occupantsof the buildings, which are not in accordance with Vaastushashtra.
As has been explained, Vaastushastra has a strong base
and fundamentals, which has stood the test for thousands of years. The
arguments that Vaastushastra are very old and have no relevance in the present
day living conditions, particularly in big cities and towns, does not sound
well. The present day conditions are in no away different than those in the
past as demands of a man for happiness, prosperity and peace of mind have not
changed in any way. The changes if any, are only terms of value. A good Vaastu
can ensure all these requirements in life, that is a good health, prosperity
and peace of mind, all through life.
