Vastu Shastra – An introduction

Vastu Shastra, A science of Environmental Harmony and Energy, its mere mention creates a feeling of wonder and an air of inquisitiveness among people.
Vastu Shastra, which was earlier considered as a archaic or a primitive science and was also regarded as a Luxury for the Wealthy few had now exploded and metamorphosed as mainstream thought, whereby most of the buyers of property as well as construction companies consider it extremely important to get the property assessed by a Experienced VASTU Professional in order to asses the strengths and weakness of the plot and also to get to know what energy the property can render to them in the long run.

But the Doubts still remain, As what do u really mean by Vastu and How can it Help us lead a Life of contentment and bliss?

Bhrama Created the world and then appointed Vishwakarma to device a system of Planning and Architecture Thus was the beginning of Vastu Shastra. Vastu Shastra Literally means the science of architecture but its is much more than architecture it also takes into account various other factors like Water, Plantation, Shape, Size, color, Directions and Numerology.

Vastu Shastra As mentioned is an Environmental science works by balancing your environment in accordance with the natural laws inherent in the universe Vastu takes into account not only architecture but also several other aspects, such as numerology. What leads to peace and harmony, which naturally are conductive to health and prosperity and its Possibilities are limitless.

This science if followed properly gives definite and positive results to its occupants. The place may be of any type Residence, factory, Shop, restaurant or even a Temple, if the Rules are properly Followed the Results are assured to be positive and there will always be happiness and Prosperity.


VASTU FOR BUILDING CONTRACTORS

Since My First Article, which appeared in this Esteemed, magazine Last Month I Have received a fabulous response from Builders and Numerous Queries from Reputed Building Contractors mainly asking me As to How Vastu Can be used effectively for their Construction Activities, As More often their Projects are already Designed and they merely have to carry out the construction as per the schedule without any changes.

Based on the Above Queries I am writing the Following Article explaining a few points As to how Vastu Can be effectively used and very well followed (in a Limited manner) to generate positive Energy and Better Results.


  • Date of Construction: Date of the Start of Construction is very Important for Any Construction activity to Begin. Auspicious Dates Bring out Better Results. –

    Some of the Few Considerations are Given Below


    • The Nakshatras Rohini, Mrigshira, Chitra, Hast, Swati, Anuradha, Uttarashdah, Uttar Bhadrapad, Uttar Falguni, Dhanshtha, Shatbhisha, Revati are good for starting the house construction work.


    • Days - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good days to start construction work. Sunday or Tuesday should be avoided.


    • Construction started in Shukla Paksha brings happiness, while that in Krishna Paksha is not considered too auspicious

  • Clearing & Leveling of the Land: Clearing of the Land of Thorny plants / dead trees and Rocks in necessary before any construction activity to start (Especially in the North-East). Also Leveling of the piece of Land (Which I am Sure is in the hands of the contractors) Plays a Very Important Role in Vastu Shastra. Proper Leveling with certain portion of the Land bit higher than the Other Creates a very Good flow of cosmic energy thus ensuring uninterrupted construction activity and proper flow of finance.

  • Shanku Sthapana (Vastu Pooja): SHANKU means Energy Converter And Shanku Stapna is the Pooja Done for Laying the Foundation Stone and praying to the SHANKU ,which Plays a Very Important Role to remove the Negative radiation/Energy from the Piece of land . Different people Use Different Shankus or (Energy Converters). Pooja is offered to this Shanku and Then its Buried in the Exact Mid-point of the Plot, As it is Believed that any form of Energy Moves towards the Center /Midpoint of the Plot and Having a Shanku Buried there Will ensure suppressing the negative energy thus Avoiding any Harm to the Construction Activity.

  • Starting Point of Construction: As per the Principles of Vastu-Shastra, The Starting point of Construction is Very crucial. Construction is Generally Beneficial when Started from The South-East Portion and Moved in a Clockwise Manner. This will ensure smooth construction activities.


  • “ For Construction Companies in the business of construction of Roads and Bridges, they Should Always Follow the Principle of Starting from a Negative location or Energy point and Moving towards a positive Location or Energy point. This automatically pushes the Project faster with uninterrupted flow of finance.” Secondly Proper Leveling of the Roads and Bridges as per Vastu will definitely bring prosperity to Construction companies who work on the arrangement of B.O.T (Build, Operate, Transfer).


  • Placement Of the Contractors Office: Every Contractor builds a Temporary Site office at the Construction Site. Proper Placement of this Office at the Site, Including sitting arrangements of the Contractor / managers etc facing the Best Directions enhances the energy level of the persons working on the project. This helps in getting better results from the staff and managers working on the Project

  • Placement of Machinery / Construction Material: Proper Placement of the Machinery and Construction Material is also very crucial to generate positive energy and ensures favorable movement of the project. Electric Machinery will give positive Results when placed in the Agni Sthan. Other materials like Sand and Bricks Should be Placed on the Prithvi Sthan or The South. Placement of Temporary Water tanks for Construction is of Utmost Important as Water is a powerful form of ENERGY. They should at no cost be placed in the South –West. This will definitely cripple the Project and will bring losses to the Developer.
