Harmonizing Man, Nature & Dwelling — The timeless science of sacred architecture for prosperity, health, and peace.
Vastu in Sanskrit means nature, a surrounding or environment. The word "Vastu" came from Vasthu, denoting anything existing such as house, shelter, building. Shastra in Sanskrit means systems. Vastu Shastra is an ancient art and science containing principles and practices of constructing buildings which ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature.
Ancient sages of India laid down several principles for constructing buildings taking advantage of nature — the Pancha Bhootas (Earth, Space, Air, Fire, and Water), gravitational and magnetic effects, and rotational influences of Sun, Moon, Earth and other planets.
These principles, evolved over thousands of years, are invaluable for the well-being of mankind. They bring balance and harmony between man, nature, and his buildings, thereby ensuring peace, prosperity, and happiness.
According to Shastras, if we worship and respect the lords of these eight directions, they shower us with their blessings and benefits.

The sacred center (Brahmasthan) — the heart of balanced space.
Vanishes fear about our enemies and provides protection.

Bestows long life, health and strength — the very basis of all life.

When constructing or evaluating your space, these fundamental principles guide harmonious design.
Favorable plots are regular shaped — square or rectangular. Irregular shaped plots are normally avoided as they create energy imbalances.
Water bodies in the North or East are considered highly auspicious and bring positive energy and wealth flow to the property.
Big trees, open wells, pillars and posts positioned directly before the entrance (arrow-like roads) should be avoided as they obstruct positive energy.
In a square plot, house should be in the center. In rectangular plots, construction should be nearer to south, south-west, and west sides, leaving more open space on north and east.
These shapes are not considered suitable for houses as corners are missing, meaning occupants will miss opportunities and face challenges in achieving full potential.
