India is considered the mother of Vastu as the ancient saints have formulated
various principles of it. It was written nearly thousand years ago where the
sages kept in their minds the results of sunlight and energy and stabilizing all
the nature's five elements in such a way to get the maximum advantage out of it.

Basically, Vastu Shastra deals with the exercise of architecture and
construction or building science and in fact it gives a fair touch in every
aspects of life on the earth as well as the universe. The basic theme remains a
link that is ever-present between the man and cosmos. The word 'Vastu' was
originated from the term 'VASTOSHPATI' which had its usage in the Rig Veda and
is said to render happiness, prosperity and protection in life and after death
too. However, Vastu Shastra truly conceives in the presence of Vastu Purush, who
is considered the main deity of a building.

Vastu Shastra is a science of directions and is a study that acquires an
entire command over the cognition of directions. In fact, there are actually
eight directions namely, northeast, north, southeast, east, southwest, south,
northwest and west. It is entirely an Indian science of architecture and space
and how environments and spaces are created supporting the spiritual and
physical prosperity and health. This had evolved in India during the Vedic times
and the concepts of Vastu Shastra were transmitted to South East Asia, Tibet and
ultimately to Japan and China where the developmental base of Feng-shui
originated.

One could find the proofs of Vastu Shastra during the periods of
Mahabharat and Ramayan and also, its applications can be seen in the cities of
Harappa and Mohanjodaro. According to the Vastu Shastras, when one worships,
fears and respects the lords of all the above said directions, it considered
that benefits and blessings would be showered on us. Moreover, saints have
searched the Vastu Shastra and we make only researches. The ancient science
helped a lot in getting the benefits freely that are offered by five basic
elements of the world in which everyone lead their lives. The five elements of
the universe are sky (Akash), water (Paani), wind (Vayu), fire (Agni) and earth
(Prithvi). It is believed that Vastu Shastra is a perfect understanding of
geography, direction, environment, physics and topography and is essentially the
art of placing the correct settings in a manner that yields the maximum
benefits.

However, the ancient scholars have said that the Vastu are based on both
positive and negative powers, which constantly contacts with each other on the
land's surface. It is in fact a good sign and gives good results when the
positive energies are found more than the negative energies in the construction.
It also gives more benefits to the inmates paving way to achieve a successful,
wealthy, healthy and peaceful life. 

Hence, Indian Vastu Shastra goes a long way
in understanding the effects and benefits and when they are followed with right
notion, success follows every person.

Thus to achieve the happiness, peace and prosperity, One must follow principles of Vastu Shastra.
