Vastu - Introduction & Overview
The term Vastu is a Sanskrit word which means "Bhu" or the Earth and is the underlying stratum of existence.As per a Vedic Hymn "Vastu reva Vastu", all material forms of the Universe are all energies.Vaasthu sastra states that every energy has life and nothing in universe is left out without any vibration.Every material in the Universe radiates some energy at its own specific frequencies. This energy may be positive or negative. Positive energy is beneficial and negative is harmful. Vaastu aims at maximising the generation and accumulation of positive energy around the humans and minimise the negative energy.

This is done by ensuring the abundance of the following :

• Light - Sufficient natural light for comfortable living.
• Air - Pure fresh air continuously blowing in and out of the house.
• Water - for drinking and living.
• Energy concentration of different shapes and forms by using proper positive material.

The proper alignment of the rooms with proportionate sizes harmonizes the energies and it gives peace of mind to those who live in that premises.In short vaasthu harmonizes the cosmic forces and makes life pleasant to live.

Now for example, the temples in India, that have seen more than 1000 years still stand undaunted as a marvel in architecture. The technology adopted by the ancient architects is amazing. It is impossible to erect such architectural beauties even with the help of today's modern technologies. Almost all the Hindu temples that were constructed in India several centuries ago were constructed acording to the principles laid down by Vasthu Shastra
