📖 What is Vastu Shastra?

Vastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture and spatial design.
The word:

“Vastu” = dwelling or building

“Shastra” = science or knowledge

It explains how buildings should be constructed in harmony with nature, directions, and cosmic energy.

It is mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts like Mayamatam and Manasara.

🌍 Basic Concept of Vastu

Vastu is based on:

1️⃣ Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas)

Balancing these elements brings prosperity and peace.

🧭 Importance of Directions

Every direction has its own energy:

👉 The Northeast (Ishan corner) is considered the most sacred.

At the heart of Vastu is the Vastu Purusha Mandala — a sacred square grid (usually 8x8 or 9x9).

It represents cosmic energy distribution in a building.

The center is called Brahmasthan (should be open and clean).
