Vastu Shastra (vāstu śāstra, also Vastu Veda, "science of construction", "architecture") is a traditional Hindu system of design based on directional alignments. It is primarily applied in Hindu Architecture especially for Hindu Temples although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. We provide specialized Vastu consultancy services “online” and “on the spot” to make your life smooth and stress free. We have developed our own concepts based on ancient vastu, to make it contemporary.

(VASTU INTRODUCTION)

Vastu consists of balance between five elements and directions.

Five elements

According to vastu sastra, the world comprises of five basic elements, known as the pancha maha bhoota. Out of the eight planets, ours has life because of the presence and balance of these five elements. The five elements are as follows.

EARTH (Bhumi) - Earth, the third planet in order from the sun, is a big magnet with North and South poles as centers of attractions. Its magnetic field and gravitational force has considerable effects on everything on the Earth, living and non-living.

WATER (Jala) - This is represented by rain, river, sea and is in the form of liquid, solid (ice) and gas (steam, cloud). It forms part of every plant and animal. Our blood is nothing but water with haemoglobin and oxygen.

AIR (Vayu) - As a life supporting element, air is a very powerful life source. Human physical comfort values are directly and sensitively dependent on correct humidity, air flow, temperature of air, air pressure, air composition and its content.

FIRE (Agni) - Represents light and heat which account for day, night, the seasons, energy, enthusiasm, passion and vigour.

SPACE (Akasha) - The akasha provides shelter to all the above elements. It is also considered the primary conductor of all energy sources within the universal context - physical energies such as sound and light, social energies such as psychological and emotional, and cognitive energies such as intellect and intuition.

The preciding gods of each direction (called the ashtadikpalar) are:

• Northeast (Eeshanya) Ruled by lord of all quarters- Ishvara (Religions,Luck and Faith)

• East-Indra Ruled by the solar deity- Aditya (Seeing the world)

• Southeast-Agni Ruled by the fire deity - Agni (Energy Generating)

• Southeast-Yama Ruled by lord of death - Yama(Damaging)

• Southwest Pitru/Nairutya, Niruthi Ruled by ancestors (History)

• West-Varuna, Ruled by lord of water (Physical)

• Northwest-Vayu, ruled by the god of winds (Advertisement)

• North-Kubera, Ruled by lord of wealth (Finance)

• Center –Brahma, Ruled by the creator of the universe (Desire)

The Vastu Purusha is the presiding deity of any site. Usually he is depicted as lying on it with the head in the northeast and legs in the southwest but he keeps changing position throughout the year.
