Vastu - religion or science?

Vastu Shastra basically means the science of construction. Vastu is a Sanskrit word which literally translates into dwelling or home.

The mythical sage, Mamuni Mayan, is thought to have laid the foundation of Vastu.  Although, it was primarily used in construction of Hindu temples in old times, it is now a protoscience and is used construction of our homes and even offices.



What is Vastu?

It is the study of relationship between the occupants & the building in context to the environment.

It prescribes desirable characteristics for sites and buildings based on factors like the sun's path, the rotation of the earth, magnetic field, etc.

Some points to be kept in mind for good Vastu:

  • Do not construct kitchen, toilets and prayer room (puja-room) next to one another.
  • The kitchen should not be directly in front of the main door.
  • Do not keep broken mirrors, and watches and electrical gadgets which are either lying idle or out of order in the house.
  • Avoid having garbage dump, street-light pole, or boulders in front of the main gate or door.
  • Your main door should not be opposite the main door of another house.
  • The image of Gajalaxmi at the main door is considered auspicious.
  • While cleaning the floor with any disinfectant, a little  sea salt should be added.
  • Do not sit or sleep under a beam.
  • Do not hang paintings depicting war, crime, violence, unrest or distress.
  • Construct the front door in such a manner as to avoid the fall of a shadow on it.
  • Grow a tulsi or basil plant in front of the house.
  • Do not have any cactus in the house. Having it outside the boundry is good.
  • Material to be used in the construction of a house or even commercial building should always be new, except when renovating.
  • Bhumi-pujan ceremony should be performed before commencing the construction of a new house and Griha-pravesh ceremony before shifting into it.
  • Do not have a toilet or prayer room (puja room) under a staircase.

So, whether you are making the house of your dreams or renovating your office keep these simple points in mind and see the positive energy flow through your life.
