IMPORTANCE OF HOUSE VASTU in human lives

Vastu is the science of direction that combines all the five elements of nature and balance them with the man and the material. Vastu Shastra is creating a congenial settings or a place to live or work, in most scientific way taking advantages of the benefits bestowed by the five elements called "Paanchbhootas" of the nature thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment.

The world comprises of five basic elements, also known as the
Paanchbhootas. They are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Out of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of these five elements.

The Directions
The importance of orientation of a building is not only for saving energy but
also to have a better house design, which not only gives comfortable living
but also gives good health, prosperity and wealth to the house owners/
occupiers and these families. There lies a co-relation between the
rotational scenario of the planets and the house design and their different directions with respect of NORTH. The building of any type and its
construction meets the purpose if proper orientation has been given using suitable local building material. It increases not only its life span but also improves the condition of occupants. There are instances where buildings
are not planned according to required local orientation were lost or
deteriorated much faster then the buildings having built with proper studies of
orientation.

The proper orientation means the proper knowledge of all the eight
directions. It is a common knowledge that the direction from where the
Sun arises is known as East and where it sets as West and when one faces
the East direction, towards one's left is North and towards one's right is South.
The corner where two directions meet obviously is more significant since it
combines the forces emanating from both the directions. SO in all there
are eight directions , North, Northeast, East, Eastsouth, South, Southwest, West, Westnorth. Every direction has its own significance and has its own construction. The basic rules of Vastu Shastra are based on these eight directions.

Vastu is essential
Vastu forms the basics of each construction; one must follow Vastu from
the initial level i.e. from choosing a plot to shift in the house. Everything
should be done according to Vastu principle since Vastu is not merely a
word but it is a SCIENCE and a bridge between man and nature.

Vastu is followed while choosing a plot, how to choose a plot: the shape,
the nature of the soil. When and how to construct a house, how to do the
interiors, how to choose colour and when to shift. Vastu is such a deep
science that it is a pool of information and one can have any doubts
cleared with proper reasoning.

Vastu is unique
Vastu is a science that has originated from India. Feng shui is an art
of harnessing energies. Though both have a same objective, the benefit
of humanity but the principles are very different. I am a strict follower of
Vastu as it is originated from India and its based on our culture, traditions,
geographical conditions, climatical conditions and everything for India.
And fengshui is originated in China and based on their culture and
traditions.
