What is Vastu Shastra? - Vaastu Shastra, Vastu Shastra based on Ancient Science,
Indian Vastu Shastra according to The directions - The importance of orientation
of a building is not only for saving energy but also to have a better healthy house design,
which not only gives comfortable living but also gives good health, prosperity and wealth to
the house owners/occupiers and these families. There lies a co-relation between the rotational
scenario of the planets and the house design and their different directions with respect of NORTH.
The building of any type and its construction meets the purpose if proper orientation has been given
using suitable local building material. It increases not only its life span but also improves the
condition of occupants. There are instances where buildings are not planned according to required
local orientation were lost or deteriorated much faster then the buildings having built with proper
studies of orientation.
The proper orientation means the proper knowledge of all the eight directions.
It is a common knowledge that the direction from where the Sun arises is known as East (Poorva)
and where it sets as West (Paschim) and when one faces the East direction, towards one's left is
North (Uttara) and towards one's right is South (Dakshina). The corner where two directions meet
obviously is more significant since it combines the forces emanating from both the directions.
