Vastu: a science of architecture

AS PER THE ANCIENT INDIAN SCRIPTURES

Vastu Shastra’s are ancient scriptures which describe the deep knowledge of how our surroundings impact human lives and actions. Similarly, as the geographical environment can affect the physical body structure, our living environment, like our home or office, can also play an important role in our life. Vastu, a similar science to Feng Shui aims to establish congenial settings for home and work environments in a scientific way, taking advantage of different elements and energy fields for wealth, health, prosperity, happiness and other benefits.

Vastu bases its philosophy on balancing the five basic elements (water, air, sky, fire and space) and utilizing other different energies to get the best possible benefits. The ancient Hindu sages knew the secrets of the five elements and their special characteristics and influences. They would study the magnetic fields and gravitational effects of Earth, the directions and velocity of wind, the measures of light and heat of the Sun and the speed and movement of all the planets. These revered scholars were far ahead of their time and knew more then, compared to what NASA is researching now!

An example of this far sightedness is the Panchang, which is an astrologica daily calendar, based on the Indian calendar, in which each day is broken down and all auspicious timings are indicated. This method of astrological reading is based on planetary movements which are constantly changing.

All of creation is made up of the five basic elements in different proportions: Water, Air (Wood in Feng Shui), Fire, Earth and Space (Metal in Feng shui). The ancient Shastra’s say “YAT PINDE TAT BHARAMANDE” which translates as “what is there in the universe is also in our body”; in essence our bodies and the universe are made up of the same essential five elements.

The Elements in the Human Body The Human body is the product of these 5 elements and is composed of 72% water, 12% earth, 6% air, 4% fire and the rest is space (also known as Ether). Usually, the percentages of first four elements remain constant but the percentage of Ether can be enhanced. Each element is responsible for different structures in the body.

Earth forms solid structures such as teeth, nails, bones, muscles, skin. These structures provide strength and form to the body.
Water forms saliva, blood, sweat and all other fluids. Fire forms hunger, thirst and sleep, eye vision and skin complexion. Air is responsible for all the movements including expansion, contraction, vibration and suppression in the body. Space is the most subtle of all elements and is present in the hollow cavities of the body, in the form of radio frequencies, light radiation and cosmic rays, among others.
