Vastuuvastaumat

Vastuuvastaumat, also known as Vastu Shastra, is an ancient Indian architectural science that originated in the Vedic period. It is based on the principles of Vastu, which are derived from the Vedas and Upanishads. The term "Vastu" refers to the structure or building, and "Shastra" means science or knowledge. Vastuuvastaumat is a holistic approach that considers the alignment of a building with natural forces and cosmic energies to create a harmonious and balanced environment.

The principles of Vastu Shastra are based on the belief that the Earth is a living entity with its own energy fields, known as Vastu Shakti. These energy fields are influenced by the position of the sun, moon, and stars. The goal of Vastu Shastra is to align the building with these energy fields to create a positive and beneficial environment for its occupants.

The key principles of Vastu Shastra include the direction of the building, the placement of rooms, and the use of specific symbols and colors. The direction of the building is considered crucial, with the entrance facing east being the most auspicious. The placement of rooms is also important, with the living room typically facing east or south, and the kitchen facing west or north.

Vastu Shastra also emphasizes the use of specific symbols and colors to enhance the positive energy of the building. For example, the color red is associated with energy and vitality, while the color green is associated with growth and harmony. The use of specific symbols, such as the Om symbol, is also believed to enhance the positive energy of the building.

Vastu Shastra is widely practiced in India and is also gaining popularity in other parts of the world. It is often used in the design and construction of residential, commercial, and religious buildings. While the scientific validity of Vastu Shastra is a subject of debate, many practitioners and proponents believe that it can help create a more harmonious and balanced environment for its occupants.
