The science of construction is very old. This ancient
science of India is known as Vaastu Shilpa Shastra,which deals with harmonius
co-existence with nature and also for physical emotional spiritual needs of
human beings. There are many who vouch for improvements in wealth and health
once certain structural change as per vaastu was made in homes.There are also
people who ridicule this, but once the circulation of air and light is improved
with resultant improvement in health, naturally the wealth would improve.
Vaastu is a very old science of construction dating back
to the days of Vedas. It is a part of Atharvana Veda and considered as Upaveda
or minor veda. What distinguishes Vaastu from other science of construction is
its familiarity with metaphysical energies, positive and negative energies.Vaastu prescribes certain procedures so that energy fields are not distorted.
Fundamental principles of construction in Vaastu
-Vaastu, the science of utilizing natural resources
without confronting them has laid certain basic principles for construction.
-Whatever may be the type of construction, the vacant
spaces in east and north should be more than that of West and South.
-Heavier, hefty structures and fixtures must be in
southwestern, Southern or Western part of the site.
-The Southwest part should be comparatively elevated.
-The main door, and exit points should be located in
strong positions, such as eastern, northern northeast, southern southeast or
western northwest; which are auspicious.
-Wells, borewells, sumptanks, depressions etc., must be
in the eastern or northern north east of the site. Care should be taken to
ensure that they are not located in a diagonal line extending from northeastern
end of the building to northeastern comer of the site.
-Avoid pits, depressions in southern or western part of
the plot.
-Flow of rain/drainage, sewage water must flow out of the
site either from northern northeast or eastern northeast, or central east or
Central north.
Please
also note some popular sayings, which are recognized by Vaastu.
-Extending eastern southeast is inviting mishaps.
-Closing, covering eastern southeast is sacrificing
happiness.
-Do not weaken, the northeast, which may affect the
lineage.
-Covering the north east is like a noose around neck.
Outhouse
Certain times,the construction of outhouses becomes
necessary to remedy the ill effects of Vaastu.In case of sites, which extends
from north to south and if house is constructed in the northern portion, thus
leaving the southern portion vacant it would be important to construct outhouse
in southwest to avoid evil effects. The floor of such outhouses must be
elevated, than that of main house and should not have entrance, exit in Western
or Southern parts.
In case of site extending from west to east, where the main house is constructed: in eastern part; the western portion remains vacant.Then the construction of an outhouse in the southwest is necessary.The floor
levels of such an outhouse should elevated and avoid entrance in south.Generally outhouses should be avoided, on eastern or northern part abutting
compound, but may be constructed on abutting western or southern compound.
