Introduction to Vastu Shastra
Understanding Vastu Shastra
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian system of design and architecture, akin to Feng Shui, designed to bring harmony between a dwelling and the forces of nature. Originating from around 6000 B.C., this science provides hypothetical guidelines for the construction of homes, towns, cities, gardens, roads, water works, etc. The principles of Vastu Shastra revolve around the arrangement of five elements - earth, water, air, fire and space in a way that they create a congenial environment for human habitation.
