Moving into a new house is a significant milestone which symbolises growth, success and fresh opportunities.

Sounds so exciting right ? Ensuring peace, prosperity and positivity is equally important, that is when “Vastu Shastra” comes into existence.

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian architectural system which aligns natural elements and energies. It focuses on creating a flow of positive energy within the space and eradication of negative influences.

It is not merely about superstition or rituals, but about creating a living environment that supports physical, mental and spiritual development.

Origin of Vastu Shastra

The concept of Vastu Shastra has its roots over thousands of years ago. The principles of science were based on the effect of sun rays.

The five elements (Pancha Bhoota) in Vastu Shastra and their balance are believed to influence the well-being of the individuals . The five elements are listed below:

  • Earth (Prithvi) - Represents stability and strength.
  • Water (Jal) - Symbolizes flow and purity.
  • Fire (Agni) - Denotes energy, power, and transformation
  • Air (Vayu) - Governs movement and communication.
  • Space (Akasha) - Linked to sound and expansiveness

The relevance of Vastu Shastra has not only existed in the past but holds the same amount of significance in the present world.

A few examples of Vastu Shastra can be quoted from Mahabharata as well - The city of Indraprastha was designed by Vishwakarma , the city layout followed a system of well planned grids with wide roads and the palace was facing east allowing the sunlight to enter.
