Vaastu Shastra originated over thousands of years ago
Everything in this world is made of five fundamental elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Sky. Principles of vaastu are basically dependent on the arrangement of these five essential elements of the world in their proper order and proportions.
It is used to be purely a technical subject and it was confinied to architects (Sthapatis) and handed over to their pupils. Proof of Vaastu Shastra can be found during the time of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Ancient civilisations like Mohanjodaro and Harappa, we can find the application of vaastu shastra.
Ancient literature tells us that vaastu was treated as the science of construction of temple and royal palaces.
India is the mother of vaastu as our Saints formulated principles of vaastu here. Our sages, rishis kept in mind the effect of energies , sunlight and balance of all the five elements in a manner so as to have the maximum benefit out of it.
