In this book, the authors stress the importance of Darshanshastra in Vastushastra studies, since Vastushastra, Yogashastra, astrology, Ayurveda, and Sangeet are sub-branches of Darshanshastra.

This book attempts to bridge the gap between traditional Vaastushastra and modern architecture. The cosmic effects of a wrong vaastu and the remedial approaches are discussed at length. Virtues of directions, analysis of the five great elements, two stream theory, Ind flying stars and the relation between Nature and Individual are also discussed in detail. This book covers all the concepts, theories and correlations of various disciplines like astrology, yogshastra, modern architecture and traditional vaastushastra and will be helpful for those who want to learn Vaastushastra.

Vaastu Shaastra is the art and science of living a happy and contented long life. In the modern-day world of high-speed technology, many diseases are arising out of faulty lifestyles. Classical principles of Vaastu Shaastra describe the ancient way of living which need modifications in the present-day context. This book is an intelligent amalgamation of the ancient practice of Vaastu living and modern technologies of house building and architecture. It offers an introduction to Vaastu Shaastra, systematising and standardising its techniques and methodologies. The book has been divided into three sections. The first section has been devoted to the understanding of the key concepts, principles and forces of Vaastu that exert an influence on any given space. The second section of the book reveals how to create heaven on earth; right in your home. It shows how we can achieve internal peace by first achieving external peace in the house. The third section is related to the day-to-day use of Vaastu. One chapter has been devoted to Vaastu of workplace which, in many aspects, is different from residential Vaastu. This book has been written according to the established principles of Vedic Astrology; an inevitable part of Vaastu Shaastra. The effect of the nine planets is considered in Astrology while mainly the effect of planet earth is taken in Vaastu. Astrology depends on dashas (Planetary Periods) while Vaastu depends on dishas (Directions), Jyotish assumes the existence of Kaal Purush (Time Personified) while Vaastu assumes the existence of Vaastu Purush (Space Personified). The book incorporates current knowledge of building science to explain the ancient wisdom of Vaastu Shaastra only to bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern way of thinking. No attempt has been made to transgress into the other parallel systems known as Feng Shui and Pyramidology, which require totally separate study. The work is meant primarily for those who want to learn Vaastu from the very beginning and pursue it seriously in a scientific manner. The book will also serve as a stepping-stone for those who intend to indulge in hitherto unexplored areas of Vaastu Shaastra like suitability of certain directions for certain activities, hidden meanings of Vaastu Purush; forty-five demi gods; ten dikpalas; three energies and Panchmahabhootas, predicting the fate of a house and its inhabitants through Vaastu kala, etc.

The book presents in a clear and simple manner, the highly evolved science of vaastu a science that is based on the interplay of various forces.

Unveiling the enigmatic mysteries of Vāstu that have been hidden for centuries, this book manifests Vāstu śāstra in its purest, unsullied and true form. From characteristics and selection of land, sub-terrain faults, auspicious time, planetary position, micro-cell energy, water reservoir, temple construction, entrance and furniture consideration, to other scientific calculations, this book is a whole gamut of Vāstu śāstra. This pre-classical Scripture was spoken by Lord Vishwakarma Himself. People from all walks of life can get transformative methods to make their personal spaces, homes, offices, buildings, gardens more energetic. As Nicola Tesla once quoted, "If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." This book has it all, as this comes from the wisdom and lineage of Sages.

Philosophy, Cultural

In India it is said that Vaastu and Feng Shui are like grandfather and grandson. Vaastu, pre-dating Feng Shui by 3,000 years, describes the environment we live in, the environment through which we move along the path of our soul. As such, it is the single most important ingredient in your life, the determining factor on your spiritual path. Thousands of years ago the maharishis wrote down their understanding of the cosmic forces that rule the world in ancient palm leaf books that have come down to the present day. Living successfully and in harmony with the world is a matter of attuning ourselves with these forces, creating a natural architecture
