Definition Of vastu Shastra:

Vastu Shastra as we all know includes 5 elements of nature also known as panch bhoonas. It is a traditional Hindu style of architecture which literally translated in to "science of architecture" and has a connotative meaning attached to it i.e. "Science of architecture". These are texts found on the Indian subcontinent that describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement and spatial geometry.

Why do we need Vastu Shastra?

"Vastu Shastra" may not be indispensable for sustain a living but it is important for a healthier life. Vastu Shastra is a well-applied vedic science and works on some fundamentals and principles like design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement and spatial geometry. Your home is the place where you reside and spent most of your valuable time which is why it is extremely important to attract positive energies where you live.

Here are some Vastu Shastra tips for a perfect state of balance in life:

• Vastu for Perfect state of balance

Vastu Shastra drives a perfect balance in your life. There are the lot of things which you find unbalanced and you face difficulties placing them. With the help of Vastu Shastra, you will find yourself in the state of utopia where there will be a perfect state of things. Give yourself a hike and dwell in it to see fruitful results.

The entire Universe, whether it is stars, planets, moons, or any form of life, is made up of these five elements Air, Water, Fire, Earth & Space. In buildings each direction is dominated by one element – a balanced state being the cause of positive, and an imbalanced state the cause of negative effects.

It is the balance or imbalance among these Panchtattva that makes one's Space a virtual heaven or hell.

An underground water tank in South Zone will cause anxiety, fire-accidents, restlessness and disturbed sleep. Similarly, the fire placed in North Zone (Zone of Water) will block new opportunities, receipt of payments and lack of orders, as they are attributes of this Zone. So here in these examples, you can see how an imbalanced state of elements in a building creates problematic real-life situations.
