Vastu:- A Result oriented Science

Vastu Shastra has grown out of life. It has its techniques of identification with
nature. Life and destiny are a part of the universal fabric of nature. In Marathi, this
is described as pindi te brahmandi.
Today, VAstu Shastra is yet to be discovered and systematized. And that is why
some intellectuals may have a reckless urge to dismiss it as totally irrelevant,
ground-less and even superstitious. But as a matter of fact, this science has
outlasted the history of modern science and it continues to yield amazing powerful
results on many people in their lives and works.
In The present day of urbanization and sophisticated modernization, the principles
of vastu sastra are still applicable. The effects, good or bad, which have been
ascribed to particular directions are still found to work.
I have found that even in the concrete jungle of Mumbai, if the rules of Vastu are
implemented, people can get positive results. Thus it is rightly described in the
Vedas as eternal (Sasvata) Science. Not only in the flat-system, but even in two
rooms tenement chawl system, one can get positive results and get relief from
problems.
In the building that have already been constructed, a common man is helpless in
making structural

.changes. Even then, if he effects changes in the arrangement of rooms, he can

reduce ill-effect at least to the extent of 30 to 40 % and gain about 25 to 35 %
positive effects. Vastu is great boon to any grief-stricken and financially overburdened family.
Unfortunately, modern builders and architects do not care at all as to how happy a
person is who purchases a flat and occupies it for years together. I do not blame
them, because they have never been taught this age-old science. They feel that
once they design and erect the building or structure, their responsibilities are over.
But no, this should never be the attitude of an architect. And that is why vastu
sastra specifies as to how an architect should be. Even the roman architect Vitruvius
specifies as to how an architect should be.
