Whether it is a developed nation or an underdeveloped one, an advanced
town or a backward village, the God Almighty has bestowed on it several
blessings, without any discrimination. Trees that bear fruit, soil to
grow crops in and help the living beings survive, water to drink, charming
flowers to cherish, and a lot more, are all blessings of the God Almighty.
The most indispensable and the most priceless blessing among all is the
mind, which we have been given, so that we could analyze, experience and
decide things; and use His blessings to make our lives more beautiful,
momentous, and cherished.
Realizing these facts, ancient sages of India laid down certain principles,
following which, the human race could enhance its way of living. If followed
correctly and religiously, these principles indisputably bear out benefits
and peace in our lives. The sages became aware that the only way the human
race could benefit from Nature and the Cosmic energy is, to be in accordance
with it. Hence was born Vaastu Shastra, an ancient science that was derived
from the laws of nature.
The word 'Vaastu' in Sanskrit is derived from "Vas" means a
place of residence, a nature, a surrounding or an environment that encloses
within itself, an enormous and supreme force. The effects of this force
can only be experienced in our lives. According to the principles revealed
in Vaastu Shastra, the world is governed by the Sun, Moon, Earth, the
nine planets, the gravitational force, the magnetic waves, and the Panchmahabhutas,
namely, Air or Vayu, Aab or water, Prithvi or earth, Aakaasham or Space,
and Agni or fire. It is the perfect harmony among all these cosmic energies
that facilitate humans to lead a cheerful, contended, and healthy life.
But, these cosmic energies can also cause imbalances in the lives of humans,
if they are not respected or messed around with.
