How does it work?
Vaas, which literally translates to "home," is the root of the word "Vastu." Vastu Shashtra is founded on the idea that everything in our surroundings—from buildings to cities—has an effect on us. This rule also applies to our workplaces, residences, and retail spaces. In fact, the design of every structure we come into contact with can significantly affect both our mental and physical health.
Vastu Shastra is based on a very logical explanation of scientific truths and facts, and it is founded on the scientific idea of integrating the five fundamental elements of earth, water, fire, air, and sky to create a pleasing and harmonious atmosphere.
Vastu principles used in architecture and design promote better living and working conditions as well as increase wealth, vitality, and prosperity. Vastu principles are directly linked with energies that Mother Nature bestows upon us. Simply put, Vastu Shastra is all about balancing the energies that surround us, and ensuring that their flow is not disrupted.
