Vastu Shastra

Harmonizing Man, Nature & Dwelling — The timeless science of sacred architecture for prosperity, health, and peace.

The Ancient Science of Sacred Space

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.

Essential Vastu Guidelines

When constructing or evaluating your space, these fundamental principles guide harmonious design.

Shape of Plot

Favorable plots are regular shaped — square or rectangular. Irregular shaped plots are normally avoided as they create energy imbalances.

Water Bodies

Water bodies in the North or East are considered highly auspicious and bring positive energy and wealth flow to the property.

Obstruction

Big trees, open wells, pillars and posts positioned directly before the entrance (arrow-like roads) should be avoided as they obstruct positive energy.

Ideal Site Construction

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.

L-Shaped or U-Shaped Plots — Avoid

These shapes are not considered suitable for houses as corners are missing, meaning occupants will miss opportunities and face challenges in achieving full potential.
