Science of Time and Space |
| Vastu is
holistic in nature and operates at the basic level of human
existence. Since Vastu deals with the micro level existence
of body, mind, and intellect, its tenets, rules and regulations

Any divisive analytical efforts to diagnose its dimensions
an only lead to futility and confusion. This comprehensive intellectual
order of natural existence can be understood only through deep awareness.
In ancient India, the learned and the enlightened Rishis divided knowledge
in Metaphysical and Physical sciences, Jnana was the outcome of the
mind, while Vijnana was the benevolent interface for the development
of mankind. The abstract metaphysical thought was rendered into tangible
scientific and engineering modes. It will be quite unnecessary to
venture to guess at the time that has elapsed between the first and
the third stages, and the changes that may have been caused by errors
in understanding the due to individual interpretations. The Vastu
texts available today are no "divine scriptures" nor could these be
original 'words of the mouth'! However, these are enough to inform
us how much the Rishis with their 'mind power' were able to relate
the effect of the astral bodies in the universe and more specifically,

In order to decipher what lies concealed
in the Vedas, a study of certain subjects is considered a prerequisite.
These subjects are called the 'Vedangas' or the body organs of the
Vedas. There are six such Vedangas. They are: |

Vastu
is a super science and its multidisciplinary approach is based on
basic knowledge of Yogashastra, Astrology, and Science. Therefore,
a Vastu practitioner's responsibility to gauge the event becomes very
difficult, and it is ridiculous to make tall and high claims while
forecasting. The basic elements of Vastu being five great elements,
eight directions, sun and moon streams, deities in Vastu Purush Mandal,
study of vibrations, waves, sound and light, permutations and combinations
of all these things. |

Vastu,
Music, Astrology, Yogashastra and Ayurveda are five great holistic
sciences which are completely interconnected and in totality form
a comprehensive remedial field to convert an individual's journey
of pain and struggle into harmony and rhythm. Vastu is an art of embodying
the bliss and auspicious events from immensity of nature in a tiny
enclave of self. |

Vastu
has its roots in Yogashastra and Bharatiya Darshanshastra. Its purpose
is peace and tranquillity to all. The basic principle of Vastu Science
is least hindrance to natural energy streams. Astrology is another
sister-discipline of Vastu where a lot of remedial measures can be
attained through astrological knowledge. Reorienting self in natural
streams enhances one's fortune far beyond expectations. In case studies
it has been revealed that Vastu science plays a great productive and
creative role in industrial structures. Crystals, water, herbs, plants,
stones, pyramids, colours, metals, fish tanks, light and bells with
proper application in Vastu give a new, lively environment leading
Vastu to cosmic envelope.

It should be understood
that the basis of the Vastushastra must be the effect of the physical,
climatological and social influence on the shelter and its occupants.
The science, therefore, provided guidance to the extent it could
foresee reaction. It is obvious that with intervention of modern
technology, man has gained dominance and control over that aspect
of Nature. |

As architects we
are stunned at the rapidity and cunningness with which the tribe
of the so-called Vastu pundits has been operating in our domain.
The relevancy of Vastushastra today is more academic than real.
The menace of the pseudo-pundits can be countered only by us becoming
more knowledgeable of the ancient science. Whether we use it for
spiritual or professional reason is another matter. But we must
not forget that the strength of this pseudo-pundits is in the gullibility
and blind faith of his victim, our client. |

Vastushastra is
a vehicle between mystique and its understanding. Science has to
offer an explanation of the phenomenon. It must lead to better understanding
by both the intellectual and the common people in society. |
