INTRODUCTION:
Vaastu Shastra though a very old science
has now taken a new look in the modern world. Now people have realised
that Vaastu Shastra can not be overlooked or ignored anymore. The
Vastu Shastra has a very great importance in the normal life of
all human beings and those people who have followed the Vastu Pricipals
in their houses or land or buildings have immensely been benefitted.
Now in the ongoing stressful environment where the man is extremely
busy and have to face several challanges on a day to day basis,
the Vastu Shastra has come in our lives as boon. The Vastu is being
carried out on buildings, houses, shops, land, plots, working
places like factory or site and the inmates of these places benefit
spiritually, materialistically and have tremendous peace of mind
with good relations among the family members, success in all endeavors,
children doing good in studies/career and all round happiness."Vaastu"
in Sanskrit literally means nature, a surrounding or environment.
The word "Vastu" came from Vasthu, denoting anything existing
such as house, shelter,building etc. and "Shastra" in
Sanskrit means systems. The Vastu shastra is an ancient art and
science, containing principles and practises of constructing buildings,
homes and work stations which ensures a harmonious balance of positive
energies between the man and nature and thereby the synergy of these
two ( man and nature) brings all round happiness, protection, health,
wealth and prosperity. Who does not want all these things in life???
The God is one and belongs to all religions, races and castes and
creeds. Now-a-days,when people want to construct a house or other
building, they devote more time for minute details of foundation,superstructure,
comforts,look,appearance etc.without going into detailed examination
as to whether such a house or building will bring them prosperity,
health,wealth,wisdom and happiness in the life paving the way for
progress and peaceful living or not. Vaastu Shastra is such
a vast field which really needs specialisation if someone want to
study it .There are some basic favourable and unfavourable directions
which we use in our daily life. Ancient sages of India laid down
several principles for constructing buildings taking advantage of
the nature, the Pancha Bhootas namely Earth, Space, Air, Fire and
water, gravitational and magnetic effects and rotational influences
of Sun, Moon, Earth and other planets on the life in Earth with
a view to bring balance and harmony between man, nature and his
buildings and thereby ensuring peace, prosperity and happiness.
These principles are called Vastu Shastra, were evolved over thousands
of years out of experience and foresight of ancient Sages of India
and are very valuable for the well being of man-kind. Vastu Shastra
is a science of positively balancing all eight directions of a particular
place. According to Shastras, if we worship, revere and respect
the Lords of these eight directions,they will shower on us their
blessings and benefits.
The main dieties and their directions as per the
principals of Vastu Shastra is as follows:
1. Esshan ie Ishwar(North-east) - Eshan is ruled by Sadasiva or God Himself. Hence this direction is
paramount, which demands keeping itscrupulously clean, open and highly receptiveand welcoming. He
grants us wisdom, knowledge and serve all comforts and relieves us from sufferings.
2. Indra(East) - Direction of rising Sun. He is the king of angels. He gives wealth, health, happiness and all pleasures of life.
3. Agni/Fire(South-east) - Agni , the fir God is second to Indra as per Hindu Mythology. He gives us beautiful
personality, hapiness in the family, good Health, Sound finances, and nice married life.
4.Yamaa or Yamaha(South) - He is god of death.He is embodiment of dharma.He eradicates evils and grants all good things.
5. Nissan or Niruti, Earth element(South-west) - He vanishes fear about our enemies. Any kind of depression
existing in the South - West corner can cause negative effects. In this corner of the plot no borewell,
swimming pool, manhole, septic tank, underground water tank etc are allowed. Due to such defects in the South - West corner, one can have negative effects represented by the 3 Ds: Disharmony, Delay and Debts.
Such negative effects can cause Disharmony between family members particularly between father and son or husband and wife.
6. Varun(West) - West is the abode of Varuna, the god of ocean. He is god of rain. He showers his blessings through rain and brings prosperity and pleasure in life all round.
7. Vayu/Wind(North-west) - He bestows on us long life,health and strength. He is the basic of all life.
8. Kuber(North) - He is god of wealth. He grants us wealth, attraction, wordly pleasures and all comforts of
life.
Any
thing which is positive and removes negativity can be of immense
help in correcting Vastu Doshas or improving Vastu in a very positive
way. Shaligram Shilas, Rudrakshas and Yantras are few of them. Shaligrams,
Rudrakshas and Yantras emit very high energy electromagnetic waves
when placed in a proper direction following the rules of Vastu Shastra.
The emanating of this high degree of positive energy removes negativity,
fear, black magic, effects of evil forces, nightmares from the place
where they are kept and brings holiness, auspiciousness, immense
prosperity, extreme protection from these negative forces explained
above, protection again thefts, sudden accidents, untoward incidents
thereby making the inmates to live their lives in the best possible
manner with success and gratification. When such auspicious things
are placed in a house or work place or factory or building the entire
place becomes a heaven where there is no pain or suffering but only
holiness, happiness and auspiciousness. Shaligram.com has endeavored
