Vastu Shastra Elements
Vastu Shastra is a science of direction
that combines the five elements of nature and cosmos, ultimately balancing with
man and the material. This mysterious science unifying the five elements called
‘Panchbhootas’- earth, fire, water, sky and space and paving a way for
enlightenment, happiness and prosperity.
The Five Vastu elements
According to Vastu, the cosmos is
full of beneficial energies, which we must learn to tack as well as keep in
balance if we wish to experience a state of well-being. Two forces- the five
elements and the electro-magnetic energy generated by the rotation of earth,
essentially emanate energy. Earth is a third planet among the nine planets and
the only place where life exist due to the presence of panchbhootas. Sun, air
and space are universally available and can be moulded in accordance with human
needs by the act of design. To thoroughly understand the act of design with
these five elements we need to discuss all these elements briefly in a separate
manner:
1. Earth - The first and foremost element
of nature, which exerts maximum energy. It is necessary to consult the land you
are purchasing, as plot’s soil, area everything matters in Vastu. The selection
of site is considered very important in Vastu element. A detailed inspection of
soil, plot, site, shape and size has to be done before commencing the
construction. Earth (prithvi) is the most important element in Vastu and
influence human lives in every way.
2. Water - Water (jal) is present on
earth in the form of rain, ocean, sea and rivers. It is the second foremost
element considered in Vastu. Vastu provides proper directions for the placement
of water sources. Water is an element of northeast. As far as the flow of
domestic water is concerned, it should be drained out of northeast only. The water
bodies such as swimming pool etc need to be made in northeast, this direction
is auspicious and suitable for water
3. Fire - Fire (Agni) is considered
as an element of southeast. In a house kitchen, fire or electrical gadgets
shall be place in southeast. Light is the essence of life, and sun is the
natural light giver. Fire is the basis of all sources of energy including
thermal power and atomic power. There should be proper ventilation for sunlight
being necessary and natural source of light for human beings.
4. Air - Air (vayu) is a necessary
thing for all of us living on this earth. In Vastu, air is another important element,
which is considered before applying it. Air is an element of northeast. Air
consists of various gases on earth like oxygen, nitrogen, helium, carbon
dioxide etc. A balanced percentage of different gases, atmospheric pressure,
and humidity level are important for living beings on this earth. There are
important directions for windows and doors in Vastu so as to receive a good
amount of air.
5. Space - Sky is never ending and
our space is full of constellations, galaxies, star, moon, sun, and all the
nine planets. It is also called universe, which is known as ‘Brahamand’- the
place of god. Space has a very important place in our lives and Vastu gives different
directions for better space. Indian houses used to have open space in the
centre of the house. Akash is a brahmasthan, which should be an open place, any
disturbance related to space in house, would lead to detrimental results.
