It is a
known fact that we all generally worship Vastu Purusha on occasions of
beginning of Construction of the building, laying foundation of the main gate
and at the time of entering the building since we believe that there lives
Vastu god in every piece of land irrespective of the size and nature of the
land.
There is a
story in the scriptures about the existence of Vastu god in the land. It is
said that as a result of the battle that took place between the demon
Andhakasur and the lord Shankar a few drops of lord's sweat fell on the ground
which in turn resulted in the birth of a horrifying, huge humanlike figure. On
seeing the emergence of such a satanic figure, all the gods were scared and
approached Lord Brahma and prayed him for safety of their lives from the mighty
and ugly horrendous figure. Lord Brahma exhorted the gods to fling the demonly
horrendous figure on to the earth with it's face downwards. All gods followed
the lord Brahma's instructions immediately and felt relieved from the worries.
However, the demonly figure in turn prayed Lord Brahma saying that he was part
of their universe and his body too belonged to his authority and the Gods
therefore cannot throw him to the earth for no fault of his. He then prayed
Lord Brahma to do justice to him and also proposed him as to how he can help
the gods, his tormentors and promised lord Brahma that he would be prepared to
make every sacrifice that he may be required. Immensely pleased with the prayer
and on considering the plight of the demonly figure, lord Brahma blessed him
thus:" since all the gods have started dwelling in your body, let them
remain be seated in different parts of your body with all their affinity. From
now on you will be known as Vastu god-Vastu Purusha-and all the people on
the earth will worship you before embarking on any type of construction: be it
any kind of township, pond, lake, fort, house, palace, etc., and those who do
not worship you will meet their doom."
Every human being on earth is accordingly
obliged to worship Vastu Purusha before embarking on any structure. Vastu
Purusha is lying in each bit of land in the following position. As blessed by
Lord Brahma, a number of gods reside in the body of Vastu Purusha. Lord Mahadev
is seated in the head portion, Jaya and Adithi on both shoulders, Apavatsa on
the heart, Lord Brahma on the back slightly above waist and so on.
As stated
above, worship of Vastu Purusha is normally done on three occasions -before
embarking on any structures, laying the foundation for the main gate and before
entering the premises on an auspicious day and time. Vastu shastra is for the
welfare of mankind and have to be followed properly for preventing any damages
which may have to be encountered on account of not adhering the Vastu
principles.
The
fundamentals of Vastu shastra are mostly based on the effects which are created
on the earth by the planet Sun. Vastu Shastra tenets are based on five elements
and in accordance with the position of gods ruling the direction so that the
occupants live in peace and harmony — with nature and heavenly powers. The
plans for the proposed building should be prepared taking into account the
Vastu principles and after testing the land as prescribed in Vastu Shastra.
Vastu
principles are based on five elements viz Earth, Water, Ether, Air and Fire
which are abundant on earth as also in universe. These five elements did exist
as part of the ancient Vastu shasra as they are today. Adherence of VASTU
principles in construction of any buildings have found such buildings to be
sturdy and have withstood the test of times and have remained intact-even today.
For instance, Pyramids built in Egypt thousands of year ago are still intact.
Some of our temples which have been built long long ago are still strong and
have survived and withstood the vagories of the nature. Infact Vasu Shastra has
manifested itself freely in our temple structures. The notable ones are:
Madurai Meenakshi Temple, Tirupathi Venkateshwara temple, Ujjain Mahankaleshwar
Temple etc.
Vastu
shastra principles give importance to the eight directions viz , East, West,
North, South, South-East, South-West, North-East and North-West as these
directions regulate the positive and negative energies and each of these
directions are ruled by Gods and Planets. It is, therefore, necessary to follow
the Principles of Vastu Shastra for the well being of the owners/occupants of
the buildings be that for residential or commercial purpose.
