Vasthusasthram
'Vas' means 'to dwell' or 'to occupy'. Vasthu means 'dwelling place.' Vasthu Shastra is the set of guidelines prescribed by the Rishis, so called learned men of ancient India for planning and constructing our dwelling places which range from our homes, cities, states, countries and eventually extend to our planet and the universe! 

At VAASTHU ARCHITECTS, besides functionality & creativity, VAASTHU principles are used as an important parameter in planning & designing for any facility, be it a residence or an Industrial Complex. Most clients are aware of the importance of integrating Vaasthu principles in their buildings. For those who are in doubt as to the relevance of Vaasthu in modern day buildings, below is a brief description.

An introduction to Vastu Shastra

• Do you get up in the morning feeling refreshed, rested and ready to go?
• Does any member of your family suffer from chronic health problems?
• Are you satisfied with your relationship with your spouse or others?
• Is your child's learning process enriched?
• When you sit down to work at your desk, do you feel efficient, effective and able to function well?
• Do you wish you had more control over your finances?
• Do you have good friends and helpful people in your life?

The energy force that exists around us in our environment also exists within us. The strength of our health, our level of motivation, our ability to express ourselves, be creative, open our hearts, stimulate our intellect, generate money, attract relationships are all influenced by this force.

By erecting buildings and homes without consciousness or awareness of how the 'interiors' and 'exteriors' affects the energy balance (of the land), we inadvertently throw off the natural energy field of the land. This imbalance subsequently affects our body's internal energy fields. Everything around us is alive within an energy field. It is important to understand that a living environment intertwines with life in a significant way.

The theory of Vastu is permanent and not bound by any time barrier. Vastu guidelines are useful to individuals and the society. It takes care of the health and happiness of the individual, without compromising on the needs of the society and the overall environment.

Thousands of years ago, it was believed that an invisible energy force from the Earth's center was responsible for the way certain locations thrived more than others and thus were more inhabitable. This powerful life force that exists within all things is the single most important factor influencing our lives for better or for worse
The Earth's magnetic field, the solar energy and cosmic rays are the fundamentals of Vastu Shastra. In the days of ancient India, entire cities were constructed to harness the principles of this science. This made sure that Local Energy Fields of the city were well balanced. Thus, people had personal bio-energy systems which were structured towards a greater level of inner harmony and order.
 

Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry is a fundamental ingredient of Vastu Design.

What is "sacred geometry"?
Wise men over the ages have noted patterns in nature from the largest macrocosmic entities in the cosmos to the tiniest microscopic particles, invisible to the naked eye. You could call them laws of nature. These geometrical blueprints structure all of creation. Buildings are a living organism, like the human nervous system, and can be designed in "harmonic resonance" with the basic underlying energy structure of the universe.

Vastu design (also spelt vasthu and vaastu) uses the fundamentals of sacred geometry to create structures for human beings which, due to their shape, size, orientation, and other factors, create health, wisdom, happiness, successfullness, security, and prospertity for their inhabitants - be they homeowners or business people.

"Space is energy filled or energy stuffed. If this energetic space gets limited or enclosed by four walls then the building becomes a living organism, having rhythmic vibrancy. Like the inner space enclosed with-in our bodies, the house also feels and vibrates. This rhythmic vibration is made to resonate with our inner vibrations and by this resonance the indweller of the house is able to be in harmony and communion with the universal space (Paramatma) and to experience"
