Vaastu is an ancient Vedic science/philosophy. Vaastu in Sanskrit means nature, a surrounding or environment. The word "Vasthu" came from Vasthu, denoting anything existing such as house, shelter, building etc. Shastra in Sanskrit means systems. Vaastu Shastra is a study that dictates the form size and orientation of a building, in relation to the plot, soil, surroundings and the personality of the owner.
Principles of Vaastu
The principles of vaastu were obviously formulated keeping in view, the cosmic influence of the sun, its Light and heat, solar energy, the directions of wind, the moon position, the earth's magnetic field and the influence of cosmos on our planet. The vaastu influence on any type of building and on human beings is like the cosmic influence of the sun (solar system) on our echo-system.
Vaastu Norms :
Energy Lines have been found to emanate from the earth's surface by forming a grid around the globe.This energy is oriented magnetically in the North-South direction and in the East-West direction. These Bio-Electro-magnetic(BEM) field affect human body, since each body cell acts like a radio receiver with its own vibratory levels. We are most affected by these subtle energies in our daily activities, our places of work and sleep where the body is stationary for a long period.
The magnetic field of the earth has significant influence on the human life. Human body itself acts as a magnet with the head, the heaviest and important part of our body as North Pole.
