FAQs ON VAASTU
1. What is Vaastu sastra, when it was invented?
Vaastu sastra is one among various very ancient sciences of India. The literal meaning
of Vaastu-sastra would be “Science of Architecture”, but a complete vaastu sastra
deals with more than what is generally understood by architecture. It dates back to the
vedic period. The word vaastu is derived from the word “vasu” or the earth. The earth
is the principle vastu and all the structures, buildings, situated on the earth are also
vaastus and all the objects created from earth are called vaastus. According to
Amarakosha (an ancient Sanskrit dictionary) vaastu means site suitable for dwelling.
Vaastu sastra is also called with various names such as Silpa-sastra, Vaastu-vidya,
Vaastu-kala. It is also called “Hindu Architecture” though it covers the Jain and
Buddhist architecture. This Sastra has been one among the 64 arts of ancient India.
Vaastu has been covered in various Indian classical texts such as Vedas, Agamas,
Puranas, Tantras, Samhitas, Artha sastras and in the Epics. Apart from the above,
there are many independent treatises on Vaastu sastra such as Manasara vaastu-
sastra, Maya-matam, Viswakarma vaastu-sastra, Samarangana sutradhara, Mandana
sutra-dhara, Silparatna, Vaastu raja vallabham, Manushyalaya vaastu etc. There are
at least 60 known texts written in Sanskrit and a host of local texts in different Indian
languages.
2. What are topics covered in ancient vaastu-sastra?
According to “Manasara vaastu-sastra” An ancient classical treatise on the
subject; In the vaastu sastra the architecture is taken in its broadest sense and
implies what is built or constructed. It denotes all kinds of buildings, religious,
residential, and military buildings; and it covers town planning; laying out gardens;
constructng market places including ports and harbours; making roads, bridges,
gateways, triumphal arches; digging wells, tanks, trenches, drains, sewers,, moats;
building enclosure walls, embarkments, dams, railings, landing places, flights of steps
for hills and bathing ghats, and ladders. Finally it covers articles of furniture such as
bedsheds, couches, tables, chairs, thrones, wardrobes, baskets, cages, nests, mills,
conveyances, lamps and lamp posts for streets. It also includes the making of dresses
and ornaments such as chains, crowns, head-gear and foot and arm wear.
Architecture also includes sculpture and deals with carving of phalli, idols of deities,
statues of great personages, images of animals and birds.
Some highlights of ancient vaastu-sastra:-
- Site plans of 32 varieties
- Village schemes of 8 types
- Town plans of 8 types
- Forts and fortresses of 15 types
- 1 to 12 storied buildings of 6 to 13 types each
- Gate houses of 15 types of 1 to 16 storied
- Pavilions of 100 types belongs to temples, residential buildings etc.
- Storied mansions of 6 types, each comprising several varieties up to 12 storied
- Royal palaces of 9 types of each 9 varieties
- Cars & chariots of 7 main types and 5 styles and several varieties up to 9 stories
3. Today we have modern architecture, still why we should follow ancient
vaastu?
Following vaastu sastra does not mean that we should reject modern architecture or
civil engineering. If we are asked to follow vaastu in place of modern engineering,
there is no doubt that we can straight away reject vaastu sastra. But the greatness is
that the vaastu is such a science that it takes care of harmony of the building/structure
with nature there by harmony of the residents with nature, apart from engineering part.
Modern engineering is definitely much superior to ancient vaastu sastra. We do not
recommend vaasatu for engineering component rather we should follow vaastu to build
the structure in harmony with the nature, which is not known to modern science except
cross ventilation, natural lighting etc. Since Vaastu-sastra takes care of human relation
with the nature (prakruti) apart from the building strength and aesthetics, the tenets of
vaastu excluding strength part (engineering part) are valid even today and can be
applied in the modern architecture. Principles of vaastu are universally applicable
irrespective of region, religion, caste and creed even in the modern times.
4. Why vaastu sastra is very popular now?
Though the science of vaastu is prevailing since ancient days and even today it is the
common practice of an Indian citizen to consult family astrologer or vaastu consultant
before commencement of any building work. For the few decades back, due to poverty
and other socio-economic reasons, many English educated Indians due to the impact
of English rulers, were largely in the opinion that Hinduism and all its ancient sciences
were superstitions and those sciences were responsible for Indian backwardness.
However, in the first half of 20th century, excavations at Mohanjadaro and Harappa
proved Indian civilizations were very glorious and highly scientific. Those excavations
influenced English rulers opinion on Indian culture to positive and respectable
attitude. Also during English rule, many of the Indian classical Sanskrit texts were
translated into various Indian and foreign languages and printed books become
available to all in the local markets. Though the Indian renaissance movement started
much earlier, many educated citizens of India and foreigners in the beginning of 20th
century, started studying all Indian sciences with a fresh out look. By the end of first
half of 20th century almost all ancient sciences were re-established after correcting
mistakes. Among them Astrology, Ayurveda, Yoga, Meditation, Vaastu satra, nature
cure etc are very popular now and available to common man. However, it is very
popular now because it is now available to middle class people (majority of the Indian
population) due to increase in literacy rate, improved socio economic conditions,
availability of books in the local languages, mass media, decrease in the caste system
etc. The educated young people are interested in ancient sciences and they want to
utilize the good of them. Above all, the tenets of vaastu are giving tremendous good
results. Many people call it an empirical science.
5. What is the rich and poor attitude towards vaastu sastra?
Many of the rich class people found to be having good understanding of the
subject and they want to employ eminent vaastu consultants for their construction
projects apart from civil engineers and architects. However, middle class people are
fully dependent on vaastu consultants where as poor people are dependent on the
masons. Therefore it appears that, according to their economic status they are taking
benefit of this ancient Indian science of vaastu.
6. What is the strength of belief in this ancient science?
Whether rich or poor people, strength of belief on this science is very high among
Indian population. Off late many foreigners are also approaching for vaastu
consultation, many are showing interest in learning the subject correcting their already
built houses, new buildings are built as per vaastu and enjoying very good results.
7, Who are your clients?
India is a country where people of all religions live together peacefully. The
sciences, traditions, sentiments influence each other. In fact the science of vaastu is a
science like a modern science of any branch rather than a part of Hindu religion.
Educated people of other religions like Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and Buddhist’s too
follow it to their satisfaction. Westerner’s too slowly now following this science. Now this
science is known worldwide. In fact it is a science of the nature, it has nothing to do
with any religion. It is is a science like any modern day sciences.
8. When do they approach for vaastu consultation?
It is a common practice among Indian population since ancient times that they
approach family astrologer/vaastu expert for consultation and guidance before
commencement of any new construction whether it may be residential building or a
commercial building or may be an industry. It is also in practice to approach when
doing modifications, additions, renovations or improvements, divisions to the existing
building. Some people also approach when they are facing any difficulties / extreme
problems viz. chronic health problems, financial hardships, un-foreseen incidents
taking place, or any other difficulties, to get checked their horoscope and vaastu.
9. What is the relation between Horoscope and vaastu? Which is
important?
Many people in the erroneous belief that horoscope is more important than vaastu
sastra. They say that when horoscope is good i.e., Dasa is good, we need not to follow
vaastu. After reading these lines one may get real picture on importance of vaastu. As
we are all aware of the fact that Astrology tells fate and destiny of an individual, gives
guidance on what to do and what not to do, when to do and when not to do. Similarly,
horoscope of an individual discloses many facts about the individual such as first
house of horoscope discloses about the nature, physique, mental profile etc. of the
individual, second house discloses how he speaks, third house discloses about his
brothers and sisters etc, fourth houses indicates about his mother, his vehicles, his
house, how his house will look whether it may be beautiful or dirty, small house or big
house, etc., similarly, seventh house tells about his counter part, wife or husband, his
qualities etc.
As I said, first house of horoscope discloses about the nature, physique, mental profile
etc. of the individual, but horoscope will not tell how to maintain physique, for which we
have to follow yoga or physical exercises, horoscope will not tell how to improve mental
profile, and rather we have to improve mental profile by improving soft skills. Second
house discloses how he speaks, but horoscope will not tell how to speak, for speaking
skills we have to depend on some other science. Third house discloses about his
brothers and sister etc, but it can not tell how to minimize or maximize family size, which
it is in the hands of his parents. Similarly fourth house indicates about his mother, but
horoscope can not tell how to look after his mother or so, horoscope may tell about his
vehicle, horoscope can not tell how to manufacture his vehicle. Astrologer may predict
what type of a house one is going to own/build, when to build, favourable facing of the
main door etc. However, horoscope can not tell how to build a house; in fact it is the
“VAASTU SASTRA” which tells how to build a house. Horoscope may tell whether his
house may be beautiful or dirty, but it will not tell how to keep house neat and clean.
Horoscope may tell whether one may have small house or a big house, but it can not
tell how built a big house, it is the vaastu sastra which tells about how to built a house
in harmony with nature. I hope now you got the real picture of this science.
10. Health point of view?
Health is the most important to all of us. Following Vastu tenets ensures good
health psychological and bio-logical and bad vaastu causes frequent and chronic
diseases to the residents.
11. When one should contact vaastu consultant?
1. Often feel “something wrong”?
2. Every day some problem in Profession/Business?
3. Chronic diseases/weak immune?
4. Bad interpersonal relations?
5. Un-comfortable in the house/work place?
6. Accidents/sudden deaths?
7. Things not moving?
8. Psychiatric disorders? Mentally retarded?
9. Depressed/Fed up in life / Feel like commit suicide?
10. Un-warranted quarrels/litigations?
11. Childless/children not scoring well/going wrong track?
12. No prosperity?
13. Frequent theft attempts?
14. Any problem of recurring nature?
15. Purchase / Construct / Renovate / Repair / Divide: – House–Flat–Building-plot-
space?
12. Benefits of Vastu
As balance of pancha maha bhutas (five elements) cause balance of mental and
physical health, a house built as per vaastu tenets causes the balance of five elements
in the structure which in turn promotes quality living to the inmates. The following are
the some of the benefits one can enjoy in a good vaastu house:-
Enhances physical and mental health and vitality
Promotes financial success
Promotes a stress-free and supporting environment at home
Improves inter-personal relations
Maximizes effectiveness
Promotes general fortune and wellbeing
Creates expansion in business and profit
Increases creativity, intelligence and positive attitude
13. Dasa or Disa which is more important? If Dasa is good can we forget the
vaastu?
Many people often ask this question. Many of them were in the wrong opinion that
if Dasa (planetary influence or horoscope of the individual) is good they need not to
bother about Disa (Vaastu sastra or vaastu of his house). In fact it is something like
that if your horoscope is good, no accident will take place even if you drive your
vehicle fully drunkard; or it sounds some thing like nothing will happen even if you
drink poison when your dasa is good?
In fact Vaastu sastra gives guidelines/suggests through its tenets how built an abode
according laws of the nature, in harmony with the nature, in tune with the nature.
Astrology may tell when to build a house, but it will not tell how to build a house or
where to build a house. Therefore, irrespective of astrology, whether one has his
horoscope or not, still one can build a house according to vaastu. Vaastu is an
independent and result giving science like Ayurveda and Yoga. Whether you have
your horoscope or not still you can use Ayurveda and yoga for your benefit. One can
not shine fully with out the help of vaastu sastra because the underlying principle of
astrology, vaastu, Ayurveda and yoga is same, which is pancha bhootas i.e. five
elements. Therefore, we must use these four sciences independently to take their
fullest advantage. The benefit of one science can not be completely substituted by
another science.
14. What is the philosophy of vaastu?
Like many other ancient science of India, vaastu also keeps its foundations in
pancha bhootas (five elements). Those are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.
According this science, the earth is composed of these five elements which is called
“prakruti”, The nature, therefore what ever built on this earth with the knowledge of five
elements will be in harmony with this nature, vibrates at the same frequency and
represents mini earth. Ayurveda believes that these five elements are responsible for
life on earth. All the living things are composed of these five elements. These five
elements manifest into three doshas viz. Vata, Pitta and Kafa doshas. Balance of these
five elements in a body gives good health and un-balance manifest into disease. Yoga
sastra also believes that human body has six energy centres, called shad Charkas.
Those charkas represent five elements. Depletion in their energy level indicate
unbalance of five elements causes some disease. Astrology also represents these five
elements. Similarly, Vaastu sastra, believes five elements in a dwelling site and built
structure manifests into eight directions and locations and influences the residents of
that house. Balance of these elements in a house in the form of 8 directions/locations
causes auspicious and un-balance of these elements causes inauspicious results to
the residents.
