A GOOD VASTU FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

ISAP LAB
 A GOOVASTU FOR RESIDENCIAL
BUILDING
INTRODUCTION:-

Astrology is a science and is applicable to building also.

Vastu falls under the Samhita division of Astrology the
other two division being Ganitha and Phalitha. Ganitha is the
mathematical part and Phalitha the predictive part .Samhitha deals with
vastu forecasting and other natural phenomena.
Vastu shastra originated centuries ago and some
principles can be found in the Vedas and other ancient India scriptures
and is believed to have been passed on from generation to generation
orally. These principles are being interpreted in different ways by various
experts. Vastu shastea which means the science of building deals mainly
with the principles involved in section of site configuration of plans
specifying orientation of rooms to cardinals for building construction and
dimensioning between the vastu and modern principles of architecture .
 Thus astrology can be applied to the realsm of architecture. The principles
laid down help one longevity of the owners. Vastu is merely one component of luck
heaven luck earth luck and human luck. Heaven luck determines the fate of the
individual. Earth luck comes from living in harmony with environmental and with
energies of our living space. This can be achieved by following vastu principles.
One has no control over his birth & his fate or heaven luck is
determined by his karma, we can enhance human luck by adopting the right attitude &
right action.
Vastu should be understood in the context of the three types of luck
mentioned above. If heaven luck is good, vastu make it better. This, supplemented by
our own efforts with proper ethical attitude & action will bring us greater happiness. If
heaven luck however, is against an individual, vastu can at best only mitigate suffering
& reduce problems.
If one aspect of Vastu principles in a building does not comply with the
principles of vastu, one need not feel discouraged as vastu itself is only one of the
components influencing one’s life. It is also believed that vastu of one’s residence alone
should not be a base but his working place & other properties if he possesses should
also be considered. It may not be possible to locate or construct a house complying with
vastuin all respects. The result will be better with a greater percentage of perfection.
One should be happy if a building can satisfy about 60% of the vastu principals.
