Vaastu is an ancient Hindu Science, over 6000 yearsold, which creates harmony in a place when the orientation andplacements are perfect.

Vaastu in Sanskrit means "Place of dwelling" and originates from the Vedas. "Veda" itself means Knowledge. Vaastu originated from one of the four Vedas known as the "ATHARAVANA VEDA".

Vaastu which derives its state from the Vedas also emphasizes on the point that "Everything Vibrates & Pulsates" and is close to Quantum physics.

Vaastu also asserts through Vedic Philosophy that "Everything is interconnected."

Five Elements: -
The five basic elements of Vaastu are Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earthand they exist not only inside us but around us too. The elements arealso related to specific corners in a site. Vaastu corrections could besaid to be based on aligning the elements and are not disturbed.

Vaastu Purusha: -
As in other religions, Vaastu also has its many myths from Hinduism andone such thing is the Vaastu Purusha. The ancient texts say that theVaastu Purusha - a human body with its head at East and arms stretcheddepict the various organs like bones, heart, blood vessels etc. Thediagonal lines especially from NE to SW are the energy carriers. Thesepoints are most vital and need to be considered very carefully prior toputting up any structure.

The concept of Harmony vs. Disharmony in any plot needs to be analysed which is depicted by the "Vaastu Purusha"or Demon Faced God". Any mis-alignment or disturbance to vital areagives rise to energy imbalance and could be termed as a Vastu defect.The equivalent of the Vastu Purusha in FENGSHUI is the Dragon.

Vaastu covers areas like Compass direction, Starand Time- of- birth- based calculation too. Remedies are plenty andcolours play a major role.

Mechanics of Subtle Energy turning into Gross Energy is the basis of Vaastu and we could relate it to the equation E=mc2.

Vaastu being from the Vedas also confines to Number and Calculations.

TheVedic Square is one such grid, which divides the plot into 81 squares,and analysis is then done. Missing Corners and extended Corners, theirimplications and corrections if any are analysed.
