Vastu Shastra translates to the Science of Architecture.
The basic ideology behind the use of Vastu Shastra is to have a better life. In layman’s terms, to boost your luck. The whole purpose of Vastu Shastra is to create and attract positive cosmic energy. And this energy helps us to do better in our work and live a fuller life. People living or working at a Vastu compliant place are said to lead a healthier and happier lifestyle. With its effect, they can harness the benefits of the cosmic forces, solar energy, lunar energy, etc., to their advantage.

The ancient science states the principles of design, measurements, space layout, and spatial geometry. Vastu Shastra aims at using rules and techniques to optimize the benefits of nature’s positive energies by aligning geometric patterns, symmetry, and directions.

Five essential elements make up the universe and everything in it. The elements are earth, fire, wind, water, and space. Vastu Shastra uses characteristics of all the five elements, dire directional positioning, magnetic field, and the gravitational effect of the earth and the galaxy at large. Meticulous to a large extent, this ancient scientific approach keeps all the natural factors like wind velocity, sunlight, the effect of ultraviolet rays, and the intensity of rainfall in mind.
Each element can be associated with natural energies. The earth element stands for geomagnetic energy, water for gravitational energy, wind for wind energy, fire for solar energy, and space for cosmic radiation. The five elements are combined with ideal directions; water in the northeast, air in the northwest, space in the centre, fire in the southeast, and earth in the southwest.
Vastu Shastra optimizes every structure for its purpose, be it a house, an office, a temple, or a school. Vastu compliant homes combine the science of directions and all the five elements of nature to make it most beneficial for man dwelling in it.
What started as rules for the architecture of Hindu Temples soon spread on both macro and micro levels. First, the plans of towns and cities and then residential spaces and workplaces incorporated Vastu Shastra and Vastu Vidya. Everything from the directions and placements of rooms and entrances to the use of colors, objects, and shapes comes into consideration.
