India stands as the birthplace of Vaastu as the saints formulated the principles of waste hundreds of years back keeping in mind the effects of energies, sunlight. Vaastu India is intertwined with temple architecture. Indian Vaastu is an ancient yet contemporary architectural science that has its origins in India. Indian Vaastu is perceived to be one of the outstanding features of our rich heritage.
Vaastu changes the lives of people in a positive manner providing them with good health, comfortable life, harmony and fulfillment. Since Indian Vastu revolves around Indian culture, traditions, climatic conditions, geographical conditions many people have taken a career out of it. Also, Vaastu India guides the people in the country as to how to build a house, how to take up the interior work, how to pick up color besides when to shift from one place to another.
Vaastu means leading the life in harmony with nature. Essentially, an imbalance in five elements consisting of fire, earth, water, air and space could result in volcanoes, earthquakes, floods etc. In India, vaastu has the power to heal an individuals mental discomfort and helps him/her having a peace of mind.
In India, Vaastu is practiced rigorously in the construction industry as it plays a vital role right from choosing a plot to determining the shape of a plot to ascertaining the nature of the soil. Vaastu has the power of magic to turn sweet things into sweeter and bitter thins into less bitter.
Indian vastu shastra is based on the concept of preserving the natures own value and sanctity such as rainwater harvesting, keeping the environment free from hazards and pollutants.
Building a house as per the principles laid out in the vaastu shastra will not only help in lengthening the lifespan of the house but significantly improves the conditions of the occupants. There have been numerous instances wherein buildings were either annihilated or deteriorated as they were not planned in line with the established principles of the vastu shastra. Additionally, a building which is designed according to the principles of Vastu benefits the individuals in different ways psychological, spiritual and physical.
Like several of our traditions, Vaastu too was treated with disdain over the centuries for want of patronage. This is the reason why the past society could not understand the importance of Vaastu and missed out on gaining benefits from taking up in construction activity.
However, in a changed scenario, people realize the importance of Vaastu and devote more time to seeking minute details of foundation, comforts, superstructure, appearance etc., ahead of constructing complexes, houses.
