Primarily, Vastu is a science, which
deals with the creation of a harmonious energy field in a structure. It has
nothing to do with religion, rituals or astrology. One can even call Vastu as a
study of the bio energy present in a structure, which we are not aware of but
can feel its existence. For example when we are in a high-energy field we can
experience a feel of peace, calm and relaxed. In a structure which does not
follow the tenets of Vastu and you will feel gloomy and depressed. Every
structure has a subtle atmosphere, which is unique to it, but we do not know
for certain what it is.
Vastu can be broadly categorized as:
Bhoomi:The earth, plot or site for
the dwelling
Prasada:The structures on the Bhoomi
Yaana:Movable objects like Vehicles
placed on the Bhoomi
Sayana:Furniture placed inside the
Prasada
The above suggest that the
principles of Vastu Shastra extend from the macro level to the micro level such
as site selection, site planning and orientation, zoning and disposition of
rooms, proportional relationships between the various parts of buildings and
the character of buildings. Vastu essentially deals with two energy sources the
solar energy flux and the geomagnetic energy flux. The science of vastu aims at
controlling the flow of these energies in a vastu by selecting proper
directions and alignments for the vastu.
By listening to the earth, we become
attuned to the energy of the universe, for this energy is manifested on the air
as wind, on the earth as water and land, and in the sky as stars. The earth is
an entity animated by energy, energy flows in it, through it, and around it.
Energy III flat open space is
different from energy in mountainous areas similarly energy in a valley is
different from energy on a plateau. This means that each type of a landform has
a specific type of energy associated with it.Vastu advice for plot selection is
based on the study of multiple factors like direction of the site, type of soil
on the site and the slope of the plot.
Primarily relax and walk on the plot you intend to buy, close your eyes and take a deep breath how do you feel? If
you feel nice while walking and relaxed the plot surely emits a positive
energy, if you feel sick soon after stepping onto the plot or drained, then
don't invest on such a property.
You need to avoid land, which is too
wet, to the extent that the place is prone to getting waterlogged. On the other
hand also avoid land which is too dry to the extent that vegetation getting
starved of water and burnt by the sun. In other words it must be balanced with
regard to the quality of the soil. Check the quality of the soil by looking at
the color, soil with shades of red or yellow tinge are considered good and it
should not be grayish and extremely loosely packed. Remove the top soil and
check the smell of the soil beneath, if it smells decomposed it's a bad plot,
the soil should smell sweet and this constitutes a good plot.
Lands which are located at dead
ends, especially if the plot itself stands at the very end of the road are
considered bad vastu. Theoretically the land faces a road coming straight at
it, and symbolically represents the inmates of the house being put in a tight
corner. In addition to natural structures of one's building, it is equally
important to be very observant of other manmade structures, which can also
bring inauspicious luck or bad energy.
Structures like transmission towers
and large crisis cross beams of structures also direct negative energy towards
the plots. Apart from the above, lands close to graveyards, cemeteries,
crematoriums and hospitals are also a taboo as they places, which emanate
strong negative vibrations that are supposed to overwhelm the breath of life.
A shape of the plot is quite
important in ensuring proper flow of energy both in vastu and in Feng Shui. An
irregular plot can affect the house, which is constructed on it. In a city
where locating and buying a plot to fit one's budget is a nightmare we
generally land up settling for a plot of any shape without looking into its
cause and effect. I could be difficult at times to find a land, which is
regular in shape and is either a square or rectangle, but it is advisable to
look for such plots. Regular shaped plots have a steady and good flow of energy
levels traveling diagonal across the meridians.
Irregular shaped plots forming,
triangles, trapezoids and even parallelograms are considered less auspicious
with regard to energy flow due to their shape. If the plots are "L"
or "T" shaped it can be simply subdivided into two regular shaped plots so it is easier to handle such plots. Well if you own an irregular shaped
plot and subdividing is also impossible then you need to look into the
possibilities of shaping the plot by using plants or trees to camouflage the
irregularity. The most preferred shape in the vastu is square as it does
justice to all the eight directions. The square symbolizes order, stability,
and the final state of evolving life. It is perfection beyond life and death.
