Meaning of Vaastu

Human beings are the most advanced creation of nature on earth. All the socio-economic activities trigger from the home and terminate at the same. This requirement of a comfortable dwelling place, known as "house", along with other requirements of life was very well identified by our Sages long back. The hindu philosophy believes in benefits to mankind in most easily and quick manner. Our sages mentioned all the activites performed and the things required by human beings from birth to death in Vedas.Our sacred Vedas are the oldest literature on the earth. There is a mention of vaastu in Vedas. As per dictionary, the word “vaastu” means “to reside” and the word “shaastra” means “study”. In ancient times 64 vidyas were taught to student, in which vaastu shaastra was one amongst them. In borader sense Vaastu shastra is an ancient mystic science which deals in designing and construction of buildings .In other words it is an architectural science which harness the positive energies of nature to make the living place auspicious and prosperous for the inhabitants. It is based upon principles of balancing the elements of nature. Any imbalance between them brings disharmony for the inhabitants. It is proved in science that every single unit in the universe affects each other. Since all creations are done on earth, therefore one should take into account of effect of earth on human. In vaastu shaastra emphasise is given on study of earth and its environment on human beings because there is a correlation and a complex pattern relating to human behaviour and built environment around him due to various unseen forces affect human body vertically, horizontally, diagonally and perpendicularly. Vaastu shaastra blends all the aspects of art, science &  astrology for making the earth better place to live
