In simple word its designs aim to integrate architecture with nature
Vastu shastra is well known as (“science of architecture”). Vastu shastra are words on the traditional Indian system of architecture. Vastu describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilising geometric patterns, symmetry, and directional alignments.
Vastu Shastra is a very old Indian Science of Architecture. Ancient sages and rishis created it for the welfare of the entire humanity. Vastu Shastra helps convert the cosmic energies into material benefits for the inmates. It converts living spaces (homes, offices) in a particular order that sets an equation between cosmic energies and the people living in the area to ensure physical, spiritual and material well being.
Vastu Shastra are the textual part of Vastu Vidya
Vastu Shastra are the textual part of Vastu Vidya – the broader knowledge about architecture and design theories from ancient India.
Vastu Vidya is a collection of ideas and concepts, with or without the support of layout diagrams, that are not rigid. Rather, these ideas and concepts are models for the organisation of space and form within a building or collection of buildings, based on their functions in relation to each other.
Vastu Shastra principles include those for the design of religious places, and the principles for the design and layout of Residence, towns, cities, gardens, roads, water works, Commercial space and other public areas.
Significance of Eight Directions
We have four cardinal (North, South, East, and West) and four intercardinal directions (North-west, North-east, South-west, and South-east). Each direction signifies an aspect of life and is governed by various gods.
While North is the direction for wealth, south is for dharma. West and East are for prosperity and overall success.
PRINCIPLES OF VASTU SHASTRA
Shape: The rooms of your house should preferably be square or rectangular.
Room Basics: Rooms should be airy, well lit, bright, and clean. This rule also extends to the corners of each room.
Home Centre: The centre of the house should be an empty space.
Stairs and Furniture: Heavy furniture (like almira etc.) should be kept in the South-west direction. If you are planning to build a duplex house, building stairs in this direction is a good idea.
Water: Avoid keeping plants and water features like water fountain, aquarium, painting depicting water etc. in the bedroom.
Dining Table: Ensure that your dining space is near the kitchen and not the main door.
Mirror Placement: Placing a mirror in the bedroom that reflects the sleeping couple is a strict no-no. If at all you place a mirror in the bedroom, ensure that the bed cannot be seen in it.
