VAASTU AND ARCHITECTURE

The ancient art of Ayurveda is part of the wisdom and lore of India. Its power and efficacy is recognized across the world. Just like vastu, the origins of Ayurveda can be found in ancient India. The two share a common language and common goals, that is, to enhance the well being of body, mind and spirit. One can not think of health without the proven system of Ayurveda.there is so much wisdom to be found in this medical system. a human body is made up of Panchabhutas i.e. Sky,Air,Fire,Water and Earth and these have a direct effect on the human mind and body. However, man in order to safeguard himself from the severity of the panchbhutas constructed the first house. This automatically created a barrier between him and the elements and made it all the more essential for him to construct the house only after careful planning.

Thus evolved vastu Shastra, which allowed man to plan his house in such a way that instead of becoming an obstruction, the house becomes a correct receptor of panchbhutas.

Ayurveda, which is based on eternal principles, lays stress on how to live life, which is in harmony with the environment around us. from this it is easy to understand that human health is greatly affected by the Panchabhutas.the focus of Ayurveda is on healing, prevention and rejuvenation of one’s health through Ayurveda”s system of balance. This balance is achieved through living in accordance with nature’s laws as also by construction and layout of house according to Vastu.ayurveda also upholds the existence of cosmic energy, which affects both mind and body. in its case it takes three individual forms of vata,pitta and Kapha.

Putting it simply, both Vastu and Ayurveda are two sides of same coin, both having the potential to heal the mind and body if used correctly.

The Treasure of Ancient India

One of the most valuable treasures of ancient India, Vaastu Shastra is believed to have been in existence for over 5000 years. It is derived from the Vedas and is rooted in Vedic philosophy. The word Vaastu means to dwell, and Vaastu Shastra is the sacred science of designing and building houses.Vaastu aims to restore the balance between the home and the cosmos, that is the microsm and the macrosm, bringing health, wealth and happiness to individuals. It has long been known that health and happiness do not rely solely on things such as food or exercise. If the mind is upset, the whole body is thrown out of balance, inducing illness, The energy channels of the body, or nadis, receive subtle cosmic energy called prana.Vaastu stipulates that if prana is functioning properly within the home, it ensures good health, wealth and happiness.

Those who ignore the advice of vaastu Shastra experience continual sorrow and disappointment.
