The term Vaastu Shastra is derived from Sanskrit words ‘Vaastu’ and ‘Shastra’. Vaastu means nature, surrounding or environment and Shastra means systems. This is an ancient mystic science and art of designing and constructing buildings in general and housing in specific.
Panch mahabhootas are five basic elements of nature i.e. earth, air, water, fire, and space. All substances, human beings, animals and material are constituted by these five elements. Vaastu is the science of direction that combines paanch mahabhootas and balance them with the man and the material.
According to vaastu structure like a temple or a home is to be constructed as a miniature version, a microcosm, of the greater universe, the macrocosm. If this is done properly one can take advantage of positive forces within the universe.
