Vastu


Vastu Shastra deals with the exercise of architecture and building science. It gives a fair touch in every aspects of life on the earth as well as the universe. It is an ancient doctrine which consists of precepts born out of a traditional and archaic view on how the laws of nature affect human dwellings. While Vastu had long been essentially restricted to temple architecture. While the fields are related, Shilpa Shastra explicitly deal with sculpture – forms, statues, icons, stone murals etc. The doctrine of Vastu Shastra is concerned mainly with architecture – building houses, forts, temples, apartments and other buildings.The basic theme remains a link that is ever-present between the man and cosmos. The word ‘Vastu’ was originated from the term ‘VASTOSHPATI’ which had its usage in the Rig Veda and is said to render happiness, prosperity, and protection in life and after death too. But remember, Vastu Shastra truly conceives in the presence of Vastu Purush, who is considered the main deity of a building.
