CHAPTER 1 \u2013 VASTU SHASTRA IN INDIA<\/h3>\n

Vastu shastra originated around 3000 BC. First mentioned in the ancient Hindu scriptures like rig Veda, Mahabharata, etc. In primitive India, education, medication, horoscopy, astrophysics, occultism, metaphysics, and religiousness lived in complaisant proximity. The rules of Vastu Shastra were established considering the cosmic influence of the sun, wind direction, magnetic field of the earth, and impact of cosmos on the earth.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER II \u2013 OCCULT ASPECT OF VASTU<\/h3>\n

1. Personal motives of the consultants. The human mind has always been intrigued by the occult and the supernatural believes and faiths of common people. These have been wrongly used and abused. It is therefore important to understand when and where should one draw the line.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Mythological stories. In ancient times, the Vedas or the knowledge was limited to a particular class of people. This was why the common person did not understand the principle of this science if explained scientifically.<\/p>\n

3. In the contemporary phase of Vastu in India, new flats and apartments in newly constructed buildings are rejected if not built according to the Vastu concept. If the building is designed with the help of a Vastu consultant then it becomes a USP to sell the flats in certain parts of India. Amusingly, some buyers come with a Vastu consultant to check if it suits their personal needs before deciding on buying the house of their dreams. As per the Vastu shastra<\/strong> rule Placing a mirror in the house<\/strong><\/a> enables you to optimize natural light.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER III \u2013 ENVIRONMENTAL RELEVANCE AND SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO VASTU<\/h3>\n

1. Solar Radiation and its effect:<\/strong> In tropical countries, the south side suffers harsh heat while the north side remains in the shadow area. This results in the formation of thermocouples in the space and around the house. Northeast and Northwest remain in cool shadow. In tropical countries, the south, southeast, and southwest suffer from the scorching heat.<\/p>\n

2. Directions and Deities :<\/strong><\/p>\n

: North East – ++ – residence of god<\/p>\n

: North West – +- – desirable direction<\/p>\n

: South East – +- – not desirable direction<\/p>\n

: South West – — residence of demon<\/p>\n

3. The scientific approach to Vastu:<\/strong> The sun rises in the east and, hence the sun’s rays emit more light and less heat. Morning sun rays are a rich source of vitamin D. Bed should be placed with head towards the south. Deity of death resides in the south and, so one should not face this direction.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER IV \u2013 CONTEMPORARY INDIAN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN<\/h3>\n

In India, a home is not just a shelter for human beings. It is called Manushalaya meaning, human temple. As per Vastu, both house and temple are sacred spaces. A house should be designed with the same concept as the temple. A house design with an open courtyard system was the national pattern in India before the introduction of the western concept. The arrangements of the built spaces are the basis of creating a spiritual environment needed for well-being and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Direction and deity presiding in the direction suggested room:<\/h3>\n

\n
1. North East Dharma ( god of righteousness) Prayer Room<\/li>\n
2. North Kubera (god of wealth) Living Room<\/li>\n
3. Northwest Vayu (god of wind) Guest Bedroom<\/li>\n
4. East Indra (god of gods) Washroom<\/li>\n
5. West Varuna (god of water) Children\u2019s Bedroom<\/li>\n
6. South Yama (god of death) Store Room<\/li>\n
7. South East Agni (god of fire) Kitchen and Dining Room<\/li>\n
8. South West Niruthi (goddess of demons) Master Bedroom<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n
