Vastu architectural science is a Total Tune up system for you and your home. Vastu Home Architectural Science is your road to Happiness, Prosperity, Growth, and good Health in your Home.

What is home vastu?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient science energy flow throughout the house/office/factory that allows inflow of fresh air and natural light that promotes health, wealth, peace and happiness. Vastu, the antique discipline of design and architecture, originated during the Vedic Civilization, which many scholars assert flourished as early as 6000 years ago in India and other parts of South Asia.

Vastu rules and guidelines resonates positive energy and vibrations in its occupants bringing in health, wealth and success to them. Vastu, meaning a domicile, was initially used to refer to the homes of Gods and human beings. Off late, the scope of this study has expanded to the extent of including almost all types of constructions, be it a plot, commercial complex, industry, shop/showroom or a spiritual place like temple. These days, consulting a Vastu expert for residential Vastu has been a growing trend.

Vashu involves synchronization our house with nature`s five basic elements to release positive energy to benefit us. Otherwise, those energies fight within each other thus creating an astronomical amount of static and tension in your place of business or home. The result is one of which there are more arguments, more staff turn over, workers` unrest, more accidents, customer dissatisfaction, legal problems and so on. Right from the selection of site to correct slope of land down to the shape of the building, this oldest form of architecture covers nearly every aspect of construction. Not only for houses but also for temples, palaces, forts and offices it`s just about every possible form of construction. Often providing relief if not cures to physical or emotional problems simply by relocating an entrance, window or room.

Sometimes, the architecture of our home tends to take a toll on our health and affluence, without our knowledge. The environmental pressures contribute greatly to the overall distress and prohibit us from reaching our fullest potential. At times, refraining from these external forces becomes difficult, thus hampering our growth and efficiency. Thus, with the appropriate assistance of Vastu Shastra, one can combat the evil forces and lead a serene life.

It has been noticed that the residents of buildings and apartment blocks which have been built in gross violation of Vastu principles tend to suffer either from insomnia, depression, financial difficulties, domestic unhappiness, or some sort of chronic ailment. They have also been seen to suffer from lack of sense of security, loss of love in life, drug abuse or alcoholism, and misery. To avoid these difficulties people switch to Vastu living to bring about peace and prosperity in their home. Normally, it takes one month to six months. It also depends on the amount of rectification recommended applied, the percentage of defects, topography, as well as strengths of your Vedic horoscope.

Vastu is not only about directions. It would be wrong to call it `Directionology` as some have begun to call it. Vastu is also about dimensions, measurements and creating space. When a new site is planned elaborate calculations are done to rectify the plot size to yield harmonious energy, and building dimensions are worked out, size of various rooms, passages, staircase steps, floor heights, size of doors and windows, alter, in short, the size of each component is calculated as per Vastu principles. This elaborate exercise ensures that there is a rhythm in the building design, and an element of concordance in vibration.

The modern building design has done away with thresholds and double-doors. But a threshold keeps out negative elements by physically demarking the proper entrance to the house, and the double door ensures the emotional stability of the residents of the house.
