Vasthu is derived from “Vastu,” which means Para Brahmam (the divine energy). When a house is in harmony with Para Brahmam, nature, and Vasthu principles, it provides a happy, prosperous, and peaceful life to human beings.
Dimensional Vasthu involves Ayadi calculations, auspicious building width, room dimensions, building heights, and levels. These factors create a balanced energy cube and harmonious space that receives positive subtle energy. Functional Vasthu, or location-based Vasthu, ensures that activities and room placements comply with Panchabootha principles. Rooms are located based on the nature of the five elements. The ultimate aim of Vasthu is to provide sufficient sunlight, moonlight, air, and water to the habitable building space. By following Vasthu guidelines, these goals can be achieved effectively.
While modern building design, advanced construction technologies, and contemporary materials are unavoidable in today’s construction, they can still be blended with Vasthu guidelines. By integrating traditional Vasthu principles with modern architecture and engineering, we can create fully habitable, energized building spaces that support modern lifestyles.
