The whole Universe is
a composition of five basic elements: Fire, Air, Space, Earth and Water.
Through these, our body receives Internal Energies in the form of Proteins,
Carbohydrates, Fats etc. and External Energies in the form of Heat, Light,
Sound, Wind and so on. The basic principles of Vastu enables us to achieve
balance among these; giving more flexibility of body & mind for a better
life. When the harmony between these elements gets disturbed, our energies get
dissipated in different directions leading to stress, tension and ill health
and our peace of mind is destroyed. We then have to redirect our Energies
subjectively as well objectively, so as to achieve an equilibrium between
Internal / External Energies, to attain a healthy body and a happy mind leading
to health, wealth, happiness, prosperity and success . The water from the Earth
evaporates into the atmosphere (Space) due to the heat in our Solar System
(Sun). These droplets of water accumulate to form clouds. The Air, which moves
the clouds, makes them release the excess water, which comes back to the Earth
in the form of Rain. Thus the Cycle, as well as the equilibrium of the
elements, is maintained on our planet. To experience the above Cycle you need a
mind and to have a mind you need life. Therefore, the five elements + Mind +
Life become the cause of our existence. When the Life force comes out of this
cycle, it merges with the Cosmic Force. You are then no longer a part of the
Cycle you become the Cause. This merger of the Life force with the Cosmic Force
is affected by detachment/meditation. The above Energy Cycle is radiation
energies corresponding to an element such as:
FORM OF ENERGY
ELEMENT
SOLAR
FIRE
WIND
AIR
RAIN
WATER
GRAVITATIONAL /
MAGNETIC
EARTH
SOUND
SPACE
This is this placement
of universal elements in relation to the four principal directions. For better
results, the Cosmic Position of the Elements should supplement any activity in
your residence or office.
According to Vastu
Shastra, if the house is designed as per the ‘Vastu Purusha Mandala’, a
perfectly balanced environment that ensures enhanced health, wealth and
happiness. This is actually based on scientific principles wherein, the Sun,
the five basic elements (‘Panchbhootas’), the Earth’s magnetic field, Earth’s
energy fields, and the eight directions are manipulated to create an atmosphere
beneficial to man. The Vastu pundits figured out that, when the different rooms
were placed according to the ‘Vastu Mandala’ created by them, good disposition
to the Sun, proper ventilation and lighting and privacy would be ensured in the
building. Vastu is basically aimed at harnessing the higher energy levels
within the self and can help in various aspects of life such as:
- Increasing
earning potential ·
- Helping in rising
higher in career ·
- Success in
studies ·
- Enhancing marital
bliss ·
- Ensuring good
health ·
- Freedom from
tensions and anxieties
A proper house to live
in is the prime necessity for every living being. Its importance has been
explained in the Indian civilization thousand years ago. According to it before
constructing our House Hotel, Factory, Office, Clinic, Hospital, Restaurant,
Motels etc. we should know (go through) the five elements and do the
construction accordingly so that one gets PEACE, PROSPERITY & HAPPINESS.
Our body is also made of these five elements ('Panchbhootas') and
therefore in this whole process Vastu-Shastra has been very much advantageous.
In Vastu Shastra, eight directions: North, East, West, South, North-East,
South-East, South-West and North-West are considered as important.
SPACE (‘Akasha’): ‘Akasha’ is the sky or space that
provides shelter to all the remaining elements. ‘Akasha’ is also important
because it is considered to be the primary conductor of all forms of energies,
be they physical energy such as sound or light; or cognitive energy forms such
as intellect and intuition; and even social energy forms such as emotional
energy and psychological energy.
AIR (‘Vayu’) – Air or ‘Vayu’ is what gives support to
all life on Earth. Without oxygen, no living creature would survive on our
planet. ‘Vayu’ is measured in many ways by humidity, airflow, temperature,
pressure, composition, etc.
EARTH (‘Bhumi’) – The Earth or ‘Bhumi’ is the land that
rests both above and below the sea. Self-sustaining and all-powerful, it shapes
the very continents and land mass that humanity lives on.
WATER (‘Jala’) – Water or ‘Jala’ is the core of almost
all living beings on Earth. Our bodies are constituted of a large degree of
water and our blood could not be generated without ‘Jala’. Even the Earth
itself is almost 70% water. This shows that water is one of the crucial
elements that help in supporting life on Earth.
FIRE (‘Agni’) – Fire represents light and heat which
account for day, night, the seasons, energy, enthusiasm, passion and vigor.
Without this energy, there would be no rotation and revolution around the sun.
Fire is represented on Earth by the molten core of the planet. The essential
premise of Vastu Shastra is that there is always an invisible and constant
inter-relation between all five elements. Therefore, any effort by man to build
on Earth must take into account all five elements and plan accordingly. A
building that is made according to the rules of Vastu Shastra will give the
inhabitants health, happiness, wealth and prosperity. A building that is made
not in accordance to the rules of Vastu may incidentally incorporate one of the
elements, but not the others. This leads to discord and disharmonious living
conditions, resulting in loss of wealth, health, happiness and prosperity. Only
with proper knowledge and implementation of Vastu Shastra can an abode help the
inhabitants to realize their true potential.
