Origin
:-
Tracing the origin of the Vastu Shastra, we find that
it's different versions have been associated with various vedic
scriptures and ancient texts. Rigaveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda
in one form or other have vastushastra related topics.

What
it is all about :-
Constructions of building ,commercial place ,factory ,town planning
,religious place through vadic system (Engineering Jyotish )
is known as Vastu shastra .Five elements i.e. water ,sky, fire,
earth, air have kept in mind before construction / revival of
any establishment. .Sixty percent(60% ) of earth ,fifteen percent
(15%) of sky and rest twenty five percent (25%)of water, fire
and air are to be considered. Earth is divided into two parts
upper the earth and under the earth. Generally the vastu based
establishments are being constructed by leaving under the earth
and upper the earth which is a major portion of vastu shastra.
In Vastu shastra construction of any establishments is observed
in seven phases which are as follows :
- Personality
or nature of job of the inhabitant.
- Upper
the earth.
- Under
the earth.
- Construction
of establishment on vadic system.
- Placement
of materials into the establishment.
- Influence
of sky.
- Garden
( if any).

Importance
of Vastu Shastra :-
Mankind has five elements which creates its frequency and as
such he has to live or propagate his life in the same frequency
level. Vastu shastra is the text of the architecture and sculpture
which deals the construction of building or any establishment
considering the same frequency level with compared to the mankind
and the establishment. Mankind live peacefully in vastu constructed
house & propagate his life without any problem.

Vastushastra
in the modern world :-
Vastushastra effectively manipulates the web of cosmic energy
for the betterment of humankind. It's well defined rules and
regulations ensure that all the houses, buildings and other
structures are in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Where modern architecture aims at bodily comforts of a dweller
and functional effectiveness of the structure; the vastu aims
at ensuring the health, happiness, prosperity, and well being
of the human being occupying the dwelling and endows him with
a sustained peace and tranquality of mind.
Through vastu the physical world and the abstract world have
to be matched properly and equitably in order to build the best
possible dwelling. Physical world includes aspects as building
material, contruction equipment, budgetary estimates, time duration
to complete the contruction, the contractor, skilled and unskilled
labours. In the Abstract world we encounter the mysterious and
the incomprehensible.There are numerous minor things that can't
be seen but can be felt or experienced. Some of them are religion,
traditions, effect of five great elements (air, water, fire,
earth, sky), eight directions, geomagnetic and other fields,
frequency spectrum of sound waves and light waves, influence
of planets.
It is a fact that the original Vastu tenets prescribed the type
of site amd then specified the layouts materials and construction
techniques. In an urban milieu, one can hardly indulge in choosing
dwelling sites. Thus the macrolevel implications that can be
successfully adapted to contemporary needs.

What
is the significance of the Vastu Purusha :-
The Vastu Purusha is said to be the spirit of the site with
human male form and who lies on the site his head towards the
east, his posture fitting exactly in a square. The square being
the form recommende for most structures. It was easier to get
the anthropometrically and aesthetically correct dimensions
of rooms, doors windows and even the structural members like
plinth and pillars. Even the interior planning was governed
by the posture of the Vastu Purusha and the norms were said,
which specified where and how the structure must be built, so
that it does not injure the Vastu Purusha.
-
How
can Vastushastra ba applied to the commercial and industrial
premises :-
Vastushastra essentially deals with practice of architecture
and building / construction science, but it touches every facet
of life on this earth and the universe. The ever present link
between man and the cosmos is the basic theme of Vastushastra.
Vastushastra principles provide guidance for making optimum
use of cosmic energy to achieve cosmic harmony. Pyramids, mirrors,
bells, gems, precious stones, metals, colours, yantras, trees,
flowers serve as catalysts in reestablishing the connection
between man and the divine energy. With all its sublime and
mysterious ways, the basic parameters used in Vastushastra compliant
designs are: geomagnetic flux, solar energy, sound energy, and
water sources. Vastushastra has a scientific background. The
concept of dik-kal (dik=direction, kal=time) is reflected in
modern science in terms of physics of space-time. Mass-energy
equivalence is the backbone of all Vastu remedial measures.
The
original texts of vastushastra were confined in the architecture
of temples, places and homes of the commoners. However, those
very norms can be easily applied to the other structures such
as offices and industries. So if, facing a particular direction
brings in negative solar energy, the large machinery must be
kept there to block the negative energy.

However
:-
Vastushastra is a matter of faith. Vastu guidelines must be
applied with due dilligence. In all cases, rules framed by local
authorities and building societies must not be infringed. Vastushastra
is not a magical formula for instant success. Application of
Vastu principles result in physical and mental well-being over
a period of time. Prosperity is but an outcome of the change
in mental outlook and thinking processes brought about by the
"feel-good" factor. Consultation with Vastu experts helps in
defining problems and finding remedial measures.
