Vastu is the ancient Indian science of architecture and buildings construction which helps in making a congenial setting or a place to live and work in a most scientific way. It is the science of directions that combines all the five elements of nature and balance them with the man and the material. Earth, Water, Air, Fire-Tej and Space of the nature thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment. Our planet is inhabitable due to the presence of these five elements.Humans are the subject, object and the cause of architecture. They perceives and conceives architecture in relation to his experience of himself with the surrounding world. Through art of design, one alters and moulds the elements of natural environment. Scriptures describe-reveal the secrets of the five elements of this universe and their special characteristics and influences over the magnetic field, gravitational effect etc. of Earth, the galaxies in the sky, the directions and velocity of the winds, light and heat of the SUN including the effects of its Ultra-Violet and Infra-Red rays, the volume and intensity of rainfall etc. for the advantage of the mankind in suitably planning and constructing buildings for dwelling, prayer, entertainment, education, working, production and other purposes. They evolved scientific methods and systems and confined them over the years as VASTU SHASTR.
It's architecture, which takes care of-discusses the alignment of the building designs, with the longitude-latitude, directions of the earth with the cosmos. It makes perfect use of geometric patterns (Yantr) and symmetry. It analysis the direction of the wind, sun light-planetary moment and water bodies, presence of holy places, holy rivers as well. It describes the orientation of the structure preferably with the Shishumar Chakr, with Dhruv-pole star-indicating north direction, at its tail end.
Vastu Shastr stands for architecture as described in the Purans. It considers the nature of soil, surroundings-demography in detail, depth of the structure, elevation, material used and the art of constructing it, before it starts a thorough study is made which aligns the date of construction place of construction, the inhabitants and the one who is going to construct or finance it. The purpose for which it is built, is equally important. It has to study the nature of the artisans-technicians, cost of the structure and its impact-interaction with the surroundings.
There are thousands of relics-buildings-structures perfectly aligned together, scattered all over the world misconceived-believed to be the handiwork of aliens, including those in the depths of ocean. The design-pattern-geometry-architecture speaks volumes about Vastu Shastr.
Basic theme-concept behind this marvellous doctrine is to provide natural light, flow of air, lack of suffocation-proper ventilation, connection with the energy providers, avoidance of stagnant water, seamless-regular flow of waste water into the drains. Protection from flooding is equally important, for which provisions and studies are also made. Protection from attacks-invasion-dacoity etc.
Ancient Vastu Shastr discuss at length the designs of Mandir (temples, places of worship), forts, cities, towns, palaces, houses and include chapters on the principles, design and layout. It describes the temple as a holistic part of its community and lay out various principles and a diversity of alternate designs for home, village and city layout along with the temple, gardens, water bodies and natural scenario.
VASTU :: Dwelling-house.
VRADDHI VASTU :: The site or foundation of a house, site, ground, building or dwelling-place, habitation, homestead, house, VAS : To dwell, live, stay, reside, SHASTR :: Scriptures-doctrine, VASTU SHASTR : Science of dwelling-architecture, VASTU VIDYA :: Knowledge & understanding of dwelling.
UTILITY OF VASTU :: One must consult the Purohit-astrologer for a suitable-auspicious Muhurt-beginning. Vastu Shastr illustrates the designing of structure in a way-manner which enhance-boosts the positive energy-influences, overriding the negative ones. It helps the inmates to live, work, intermingle-interact to live a happy and healthy life, smoothly. A positive cosmic field prevails in a Vastu constructed house, where the atmosphere is congenial for a smooth and happy life.
(1). HOUSE :: It helps in the release of cosmic energies-radiations into material benefits for the residents in the Vastu based homes. It creates a positive energy field for those living there to ensure physical, material and spiritual well being. It helps in making-turning a house into a home.
(2). OFFICE :: Its impossible to convert the built up space. However, with a touch here and there, it will turn into a profitable venture. The location of inner wooden-plastic chambers-separations can be altered easily, on the basis of Vastu. Colour combinations, facing of the work tables-chairs, equipment can make a lot of difference for conducive-congenial atmosphere.
(3). FACTORIES :: All features must be well planned according to Vastu. It should be spacious permitting proper movement and installation of gadgets-electrical appliances, including proper electrical load-fittings and their quality. Funds-finances-investments should be well planned in advance with care-precision. Raw material purchasing, manufacturing, assembling, packaging, accounting, transportation of goods, human resources (labour related issues). Vastu helps in co-coordinating these activities thereby generating growth for the investors.
(4). REAL ESTATE :: It requires huge investments and have multi tasking activities taking place simultaneously like land acquisition, raw material purchasing, architecture and planning , accounting, liaising with government department, selling of houses and shops, human resources (labour aspect). Vastu helps in co-coordinating all these activities thereby bringing-generating growth, for the investors.
The most significant aspect of the whole process is that the dealings should be fair. No cheating-forging-fraudulent activities should be there. If any of these occurs, its sure to doom the builder. The land should be acquired without coercion-force. If the land is possessed through force it sure to doom the buyers.
(5). PROFESSIONALS :: A professional person including writer, research intellectual or an artist should be seated along the back of wall which is considered better location for these persons. While the entrance in such offices should have distance from the main office.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES :: Vastu lays stress to the architect in addition to the following parameters :: (1). Orientation and siting considerations, (2). Building Layout with regard to a grid called Vastu Purush Mandal, (3). Dimensions with regard to the client's birth time-horoscope, (4). Exterior door locations, (5). Brahm Sthan-central location, (6). Room alignment-position of bathrooms, bed, windows, doors, ventilators, air conditioners, (7). Height-plinth, (8). Material used for laying the floor and the quality of wood procured for the doors, windows etc.
VASTU PURUSH :: Vishwkarma is an incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu who is the divine architect. Ravan's father in law; Mandodari's father MAY DANAV was also a well recognized architect. Nal, the son of Vishwkarma in his incarnation as a Vanar-monkey, too was a great architect and helped Bhagwan Shri Ram in constructing the Ram Setu between Rameshwaram and Shri Lanka-Ceylon with the help of Neel another Vanar. Purush denotes the Almighty.
SLOPE :: Its essential to carry out waste water out of the house. The roof should be inclined to North, North-East or the East. The house which faces North, North-East or the East, is considered to be very auspicious. The slope-inclination for the flow of water-sewage, must be towards the front straight way.
FENCING :: It is equally important if the house has a large area as open space around it. Not only it protects the inhabitants it gives shape to the house.
ENERGY GRID :: Orientation of the structure with respect to the cardinal points of the compass is essential. A network of energy lines covers the globe of the Earth in the form of an energy grid.
These magnetic lines are identical to longitude and latitude. The lines are conduits for the energy concentrated at the center of the Earth which flows out and spreads over the Earth. These lines helps in the absorption of solar, lunar and stellar energies. The Earth pulsates with life and rays its energy through this grid system. Vastu correlates the planets, stars, galaxies which are embedded together in outer space. The space is a vast reservoir of energy and these lines too align themselves to the energy of the space.
The building plan is laid out with respect to an energy grid called the Vastu Purush Mandal. One typical grid is 9 x 9, but there are many other traditional grid forms consisting of odd and even numbers. This grid can be made of squares or rectangles. When the grid plan of the structure is oriented to the cardinal points of the compass (-north & south) it is said to lie exactly over the earthly energy grid. Establishment of the building grid in exact relationship to the cardinal points of the compass applies to temples. For secular structures, it is best to rotate the structure about one degree to the north of true East. Once the designer establishes the grid, he can lay out the walls and pillars of the building on this pattern. This establishes a kind of geometric congruence or harmony with the earthly grid.
If the structure's grid is in harmony with the Earth's grid, then the built up space and the Earth respond harmoniously, energetically. If there is any distortion, deviation or deflection in the grid lines of the proposed building grid and that of the Earth's grid, then the built space is said to be in disharmony with the Earth's energy grid system. Vastu holds that we are wedded to the Earth and constantly exposed to the energy fuming out of it. The aim is to establish harmony with this energy. Just as we, human beings, harbour in our heart an atom of Divine energy by which, we are able to vibrate with life, the Earth too vibrate from within sending forth energy waves. The Vastu designer brings about harmony between the vibrations by implementing particular a mathematical order called Ayadi.
AYADI :: The knowledge of Ayadi is used by the designer to determine the effects of the physical structure on the individual. The house owner is born under the influence of a particular birth star. The building is considered to be a living being and also has a birth star. Ayadi calculations attempt to harmonise the energies created by the influence of the birth star of the person and that of the building. When these energies are harmonised the dweller experiences material prosperity and spiritual well being. Ayadi is also said to be able to effect the fate of the individual.
IDEAL SHAPE :: The plot of land should be a square or rectangle.
DIRECTION :: It refers to the dweller or any object that faces or points towards the eight compass directions-north, south, east, west north-east, north-west south-east or south-west.
QUADRANT :: Quadrant or sector means the section of the building or plot. A quadrant or sector on a plot of land or property is determined by dividing the building or the plot into nine squares. Each square is a quadrant.
ORIENTATION :: (1) Number of doors, windows, pillars should be even. (2) Number of steps should be odd. (3) Toilet seat should face either south or north. (4) There should be no window at south-west corner. (5) Vacant spaces on the eastern and northern sides should be more than the other sectors. (6) Well, water tank, pond, swimming pool and fountain should be at north-east corner. (7) Septic tank or drainage outlet should be either in the south-east or north-west. (8) If kitchen is located in south-east, facing east while cooking.(9) If kitchen is located in north-west, face towards north while cooking. (10) Start the construction of the house from the north-east and proceed clockwise. (11) Store all building materials in the south-west of the plot.(12) Master bedroom (south-west) flooring should be one to six inches higher compared to the flooring of other rooms. (13) No attic in north and east main walls. (14) The construction worker's cabin should be located in the north-west. (15) Shape of the building should be either square or rectangular. (16) Staircase should turn clockwise. (17) Rain water should flow either towards north or east. Under any circumstances, do not let it flow inside the house. It must come out.
BRAHM STHAN (CENTRE) :: The present day buildings lack this feature. Its a grid measuring 9 x 9 at the center of the structure, working as its heart & lung. This is always open from the top & provides natural lighting, flow of air and direct relation with the cosmos-energy lines.
It is ruled by the Creator of the Universe BRAHMA Ji. The daily alternation of light and dark is attributed to the activity of Brahma the two Sandhyas. The four Veds have sprung from his heads.
Many structures in nature have a silent core of intelligence and the activity of the structure is arranged around this core. Brahmsthan may be termed as the core of the structure-building. It's depression may lead to various health hazards for the house owner and occupants affecting their prosperity.
BHUMI PUJAN :: A simple ceremony should be conducted at the auspicious time-Muhurt settled with the help of Jyotish-astrology. It includes Nav Grah Puja, Ganpati Puja, Gayatri Mantr, Hawan, Agnihotr-holy sacrifices in fire. A pundit is specifically invited to perform the prayers along with close friends and relatives. A feast is there to accept the Prashad. every one present there pray to the God the house owners should live there happily free from tensions. Its prayed that the God may award prosperity, wealth and longevity to the owners. The foundation is digged by the masons and the labours specifically invited for the ceremony and there tools are also worshipped. Vishw Karma Puja is performed with great respect and honor.
A pair of serpents made up of Gold, silver and iron are placed in the foundation. The pundit performing the Puja is suitably rewarded with cash-dakshina, clothing for self and wife, fruits, sweets etc. His feet are touched by the owners and others who wish to do so. Its a mark of respect for the Vishw Karma not the Pundit.Direction constitutes one of the most important aspects of Vastu. It determines factors like health, wealth, pleasure and the next birth including Salvation.

South-East :- Sight,
North-West :- Taste &
South-West :- Smell.
EAST (Deity INDR-holds thunder volt-वज्र) :: The King of deities-demigods, controls rains, weather along with the Sun-Adity. Pawan Dev (deity of air) & Varun Dev (deity of water) are always ready-willing to co-operate with him. Its good to keep open space in the east as it allows sun light to enter the house properly, which is essential for good health, germ free atmosphere-surroundings. It allows eastern wind to pass through the house to remove suffocation.
This direction rules enhancement of wealth, cereals and animal stock. It represents Samwardhan-enhancement-boosting and presiding over- existence of Dharm. East represents Adity-Sury, Agni, Jayant, Ish, Parjany, Saty, Bhoop and Akash, including lineage. During the construction of the house, some portion must be left open in the East for the longevity of the owner.
WEST (Deity VARUN) :: This direction governs rains and water, under the influence of sage August. Ocean is the abode of Varun who is deity-demigod of the sky, rain, waters and of the celestial ocean. He has influence on the water bodies.
Never keep this direction open. Heavy construction yields favourable results in this direction. Vastu defects in this direction leads to loss of satisfaction-pleasure in family life. Clashes takes with the partners in business. Western winds keep the house free from dampness-suffocation-germ free. Never block the passage of free air through the house from west-except when its extremely hot.
A proper utilisation of westerly portion of plot leads to name, fame, prosperity and success for the owner, concerned with moral and societal affairs. He may rule law and of the underworld. Proper constitution of this direction will guarantee the dweller, a long and healthy life with prosperity, enjoying the goodwill of others.
पश्चिम दिशा के स्वामी वरूण देव हैं। भवन बनाते समय इस दिशा को रिक्त नहीं रखना चाहिए। इस दिशा में भारी निर्माण शुभ होता है। इस दिशा में वास्तुदोष होने पर गृहस्थ जीवन में सुख की कमी आती है। पति पत्नी के बीच मधुर सम्बन्ध का अभाव रहता है। कारोबार में साझेदारों से मनमुटाव रहता है। यह दिशा वास्तुशास्त्र की दृष्टि से शुभ होने पर मान सम्मान, प्रतिष्ठा, सुख और समृद्धि कारक होता है। पारिवारिक जीवन मधुर रहता है।
पूर्व दिशा के समान उत्तर दिशा को रिक्त और भार रहित रखना शुभ माना जाता है। इस दिशा के स्वामी कुबेर हैं, जो कि देवताओं के कोषाध्यक्ष हैं। यह दिशा वास्तु दोष से मुक्त होने पर घर में धन एवं वैभव में वृद्धि होती है। घर में सुख का निवास होता है। उत्तर दिशा वास्तु से पीड़ित होने पर आर्थिक पक्ष कमज़ोर होता है। आमदनी की अपेक्षा खर्च की अधिकता रहती है। परिवार में प्रेम एवं सहयोग का अभाव रहता है। यह दिशा मनुष्य की मुक्ति का मार्ग प्रशस्त करती है और मोक्ष दायक है। अतः रात्रि संध्या उत्तर की ओर मुँह करके करने का प्रचलन है।
(Finance) and riches. Sarvabowman-the elephant, Gajamuhan-the demon are its guards. He controls the imminent events and causes increments-improvement-enhancement. He has imperceptible wealth and property. Bhagwan Shiv is friendly with him. He is regarded as the regent of the North-Dik Pal a protector of the world.
He blesses every individual with good strength, better business sufficient in flow of money, education, industrial growth etc. If this aspect coincides with Vastu lakshan-characteristic, the dweller will be pious & blessed by Maan Lakshmi.
NORTH-EAST ईशान कोण (DEITY-Bhagwan Shiv Ishan) :: The angle that lies midway between North and the East is known as Ishan (North-East). Bhagwan Shiv is rules-protects this angle, the invisible power that governs the universe. Ishanyam also represents it with Supradeepam-the elephant, Priyamugan-the demon as guards. Pashupat is the weapon of Shiv. Ardr Nakshatr is the sign of Bhagwan Shiv.
This is the invisible power that governs the universe and represents prosperity and knowledge. It is related with religions, luck and faith.
Portion of the house in this direction must be kept holy-for the purpose of prayers-temple, for it yields many kinds of divine powers to the owner. Proper utilization of this portion of house provides wealth, reputation, property and every kind of excellence for the owner and the dweller will not face any hurdle or obstacle and destined to lead a happy life. A faulty-improper utilisation of this angle, may block success & continuation of progeny.
उत्तर और पूर्व दिशा का मध्य ईशान-दिशा कहा जाता है। इस दिशा के स्वामी भगवान शिव हैं।वास्तु की दृष्टि से यह दिशा दोष मुक्त होने पर व्यक्ति के सम्बन्धों में प्रगाढ़ता आती है। लोगों से सहयोग एवं प्रेम और आदर सम्मान प्राप्त होता है। इसके विपरीत वास्तु दोष होने पर मान सम्मान में कमी आती है। लोगो से अच्छे सम्बन्ध नहीं रहते और अदालती मामलों में भी उलझना पड़ता है। घर के दरवाजे और खिड़कियां इस दिशा में अत्यंत शुभ माने जाते हैं। यह दिशा वास्तुदोष से पीड़ित होने पर मन और बुद्धि पर विपरीत प्रभाव होता है। परेशानी और तंगी बनी रहती है। संतान के लिए भी यह दोष अच्छा नहीं होता। यह दिशा वास्तुदोष से मुक्त होने से मानसिक क्षमताओं पर अनुकूल प्रभाव होता है। शांति और समृद्धि का वास होता है। संतान के सम्बन्ध में शुभ परिणाम प्राप्त होता है।
NORTH-WEST वायव्य कोण (DEITY-VAYU-PAWAN-AIR :: It lies mid way between the West and the North. ‘Vayu’(air, wind) is the deity-demigod of this direction. He is the father of Bheem and of Hanuman Ji Maha Raj. Pushphandham-the elephant and Singamugam-the Demon, guard this direction. Pawan Dev the deity prevails over the sky, rain, waters and of the celestial ocean besides the masters of law and of the underworld, concerned with moral and societal affairs.
Five kinds of Vayu i.e. Pran, Upan, Saman, Vyan and Udan (the sons of Pawan Dev) are necessary for human life. North-West angle is the progenitor of friendship or enmity.Hence, a faulty use of this portion of plot may result in majority of the enemies.
If one uses this angle of the plot wisely and flawlessly, he may have good friends who will undoubtedly benefit him. If this direction is formed as per the rules, the dweller will escape from enmity, chaos and calamity. Peaceful and successful life may be ensured.
SOUTH (Deity YAM-holds Yam Dand) :: Governs religiosity-virtues-piousity, sins, deeds, rebirth, death.: Yam Raj-Dharm Raj is the lord of this direction. He is Kaal-time and Bhagwan Shiv is Maha Kaal-the ultimate destroyer. South direction weakens human life, hence all the auspicious tasks are prohibited in the South. South is the abode of the species named Gandharv, Mrag, Push, Vitath and Kshat-क्षत.
It yields mourning, depression, grief-sorrow and pain. The elephant- Gundothar, and the Demons are the guards of this direction. If this direction is properly constituted the dweller, will escape from the envy of others and cast of all evil eyes.
SOUTH-EAST अग्नि कोण (Deity AGNI KON-ANGLE-FIRE) :: It governs fire-energy. This direction that lies midway between the East and the South is known as Agneyआग्नेय (South-East). Pundareegam-the elephant & Unmaththan-the demons are the guards of this direction. He is the preserver and defender of every being. Agni also carries the message of people who worship and offer oblations with devotion to God. Worshippers of Agni are economically strong and long living. Agni himself takes care of the people who make offerings into him. Agni also provides them with comfort, peace, prosperity and progeny. An important entity in Ayurved is responsible for the sustenance of life. It helps in the various physiological functions of the body.
While constructing a house, the first pillar must be erected in the South-East direction. Kitchen of the house should occupy a place in this direction.
If this space is well located Maa Lakshmi-the Goddess of wealth favors this house and the women folk who live in here are destined to enjoy peaceful and happy life. A warm Agney direction makes a man healthy, whereas a faulty use makes the owner short tempered.
SOUTH-WEST नैॠत्य कोण (Deity KUBER-Ruled by ancestors) PITR-NAESHARTAY :: It lies midway between the South and the West directions. Naerity is the ruling deity-goddess of this direction. This is the goddess of death and corruption. Naeruthi is the ruler, Kumutham-the elephant and Deergh Kaya-the Demon are the guards of this space. Pitr-Naeruty-Naeruthi is ruled by ancestors.
Naerity means repeated happening, whether it is the birth of a baby or any other event. It also means that the events which are performed at proper timing can have a repetition. If the house is built in this direction, the home suffers continuous decay.
South-West portion of the house should never be left open,nor should a pit be dug is this direction. This direction is believed to be an abode of demons and ghosts. To prevent the accumulation of inauspicious and pain causing things, digging of pit in South-West is prohibited. If for some reason, digging is necessary, it should be covered as early as possible or a sapling be planted in its place.The proper placement of this direction assures the dweller to lead to care free life and provides protection against being robbed.
CENTRE :: बीच में मूसल, हल, चक्र और धनुष वाण करने वाले भवन विष्णु रक्षा करें। Ruled by the creator-Brahma Ji the of the universe shows desire.
SKY (AKASH आकाश) ऊपर की ओर ध्रुव रक्षा करें। वास्तुशास्त्र के अनुसार भगवान शिव आकाश के स्वामी हैं। इसके अन्तर्गत भवन के आस पास की वस्तु जैसे वृक्ष, भवन, खम्भा, मंदिर आदि की छाया का मकान और उसमें रहने वाले लोगों के ऊपर उसके प्रभाव का विचार किया जाता है।
PATAL :: नीचे की ओर पृथ्वी को धारण करने वाले भगवान शेषनाग पाताल वास्तु के अनुसार भवन के नीचे दबी हुई वस्तुओं का प्रभाव भी भवन और उसमें रहने वाले लोगों के ऊपर होता है। यह प्रभाव आमतौर पर दो मंजिल से तीन मंजिल तक बना रहता है। भवन निर्माण से पहले भूमि की जांच इसलिए काफी जरूरी हो जाता है। वास्तुशास्त्र के अनुसार इस दोष की स्थिति में भवन में रहने वाले का मन अशांत और व्याकुल रहता है। आर्थिक परेशानी का सामना करना होता है। अशुभ स्वप्न आते हैं एवं परिवार में कलह जन्य स्थिति बनी रहती है।
समुद्र में भवन वराह, दुर्गम स्थान पर नर सिंह तथा सभी ओर से सामवेद के ध्वनि रूप श्रीमान् श्री लक्ष्मी कांत माधव रक्षा करें।
PLANETS AND VASTU ::
Planetary Rulers of Directions :: East:-Sun, South-East:-Venus, South-Mars, South-West:-Rahu, West:-Saturn, North-West:-Moon, North:-Mercury, North-East:-Jupiter.
PLANETS GOVERNING ROOMS-ACTIVITIES ::
SUN :: Pooja-Prayer-meditation-temple, bathroom, dining room, living room.
MOON :: Family room, guest room ,bath rooms, swimming pools, garage etc.-excluding toilets.
MARS :: Kitchen, dining room, bed room, bath Room.

In Vastu-architecture, the dwelling is itself a shrine-religious place, where the house hold can perform various activities along with prayers-rituals-Agnihotr-Hawan Pujan, ceremonies. A home is called Manushyalay-Human Temple. It is not merely a shelter for human beings in which to rest and eat. The concept behind house design is the same as for temple design, so sacred and spiritual are the two spaces.
LAY OUT PLAN AS PER VASTU SHASTR FOR RESIDENCE :: वास्तु शास्त्र के अनुसार 16 प्रकार के कक्ष का उनका निर्धारित स्थान: (1). ईशान कोण उतर-पूर्व में पूजा स्थान: प्रातः कालीन पूजा पूर्व दिशा में मुँह करके की जाती है। रात्रि में संध्या उत्तर दिशा में मुँह करके की जाती है, (2). ईशान कोण व पूर्व दिशा के मध्य स्थान में:; स्वागत कक्ष, (3). पूर्व दिशा में: स्नान घर, (4). पूर्व दिशा तथा आग्नेय कोण के मध्य स्थान में घृत, दधि मंथन स्थल, (5). आग्नेय कोण में पाकशाला: रसोई, (6). आग्नेय कोण तथा दक्षिण दिशा के मध्य स्थान में, घृत, तेल व् पिसने का स्थान, (7). दक्षिण दिशा में शयन कक्ष: सोते वक्त सर दक्षिण अथवा पूर्व दिशा में रखें, (8). दक्षिण दिशा तथा नैऋत्य कोण के मध्य स्थान में -शौचालय, (9). नैऋत्र्य कोण में शस्त्र भण्डार, (10). नैऋत्र्य कोण तथा पश्चिम दिशा के मध्य में–अध्ययन कक्ष, (11). पश्चिम दिशा में–भोजन कक्ष, (12). पश्चिम दिशा तथा वायव्य कोण के मध्य स्थान में , सभाकक्ष, (13). वायव्य कोण में अन्न भण्डार या पशुघर, 14). वायव्य कोण तथा उतरदिशा के मध्य स्थान में शयन कक्ष (रति क्रिडा स्थल), (15). उत्तर दिशा में धन संग्रह कक्ष, (16). उत्तर दिशा तथा ईशान कोण के मध्य–औषधी गृह।
PANCH BHOOT STHAL-THE DEDICATED TEMPLES :: These temples are basically dedicated to Bhagwan Shiv presiding the Dev Sthan-Sthal as Shiv Ling & one of the basic five elements Panch Bhoot: (1) Chidambaram Nat Raj temple representing Akash-space-sky, (2) Thiruvanaikoil Jambu Keshwar temple representing Jal-water), (3) Kancheepuram Ekambareshwar temple representing Prathvi-earth, (4) Thiruvannamalai Arunachaleshwar temple representing agni-fire and (5) Shri Kala Hasthi Nathar temple representing vayu-air.
The Vastu Purush Mandal is an indispensable part of Vastu Shastr and constitutes the mathematical design. It is the metaphysical plan of a building that incorporates the supernatural forces. Purush refers to eternal, energy, soul or Universal Principle-the Ultimate-Almighty.
MANDAL :: It is the generic name for any plan or chart which symbolically represents the cosmos.The concept of Shakl-SAGUN UPASANA-the supreme as personal God with attributes and Nishakl-NIRGUN UPASANA-the supreme as absolute spirit unconditioned by attributes, are applied in buildings appropriately.The Sakal-complete in itself, is used for shrines of gods with form (Shakl, Murty-statue-pictures-paintings) and to perform Yagy (sacrificial fire rites, Agnihotr-Hawan).
Nishakl is used for installation of idols without form-Nishakl Murthi-Nirakar and for auspicious, pure performances.The amorphous center is considered beneficial to the worshippers, being a source of great energy. This could also be used for settlements. In commercial buildings, only odd numbers of modules are prescribed as the Nishakl or amorphous center would cause too high a concentration of energy for human occupants. Even here, the Brahm Sthan is left un-built with rooms organised around.
In Vastu-Purush-Mandal, the areas (pad, squares) are associated with certain deities.Peeth Mandal, a 3 x 3 Pad Vastu
Purush Mandal architecture
An important aspect of the Mandal is that when divided into an odd number of squares, (ayugm अयुग्म-विषम संख्या), its center is constituted by one module or Pad and when divided into an even number of squares (Yugm-pair जोड़ा युग्म-सम संख्या), its center is constituted by a point formed by the intersection of the two perpendicular central lines. In spatial terms, the former is manifest-morphic (shakal-face-शक्ल) or and the latter is unmanifest-amorphous (nishkal निशक्ल).
The normal position of the Vastu Purush (head in the northeast, legs in the southwest) is as depicted in the Param Sayika Mandal. However, in the Manduk Mandal the Vastu Purush is depicted with the head facing east and the feet facing west. The Mandal is put to use in site planning and architecture through a process called the Pad (food-step पद-चरण विन्यास) Vinyas-configuration. This is a method whereby any site can be divided into grids/modules or Pad. Depending on the position of the gods occupying the various modules, the zoning of the site and disposition of functions in a building are arrived at. Mandal have certain points known as marm-vital (मर्म) root-basic-important, which are vital energy spots on which nothing should be built. They are determined by certain proportional relationships of the squares and the diagonals.
The central area in all Mandal is the Brahm Sthan-Mool Sthan.

VASTU PURUSH & SEVEN CHAKR :: Vastu Purush Mandal also represents the subtle body with the Seven Psychic C enters-Chakr-cycles.
MOOLADHAR CHAKR (South-West corner-Naerity) :: Vastu Purush has his legs corresponds to the Mooladhar Chakr and denotes Earth Principle. Just as the legs support the weight of the body, the base Adhisthan acts for the Mooladhar. It should be stable and strong. The South-West segment of the building is the load bearing-supporting area and should be strong enough to support heavy weights. Just as the feet are warm, the South-West cell represents warmth and heat. According to the atmospheric cycles, the South-West region receives comparatively more heat.
SVADHISTHAN CHAKR :: It is in the lower stomach region near the kidneys. It is related to Water Principle Jal. It is to the South-West of Vastu Purush Mandal.

The echo of that sound vibrates in the hollow of the bone-box of the head and in the space in brain. The head of Vastu Purush is in the North-East corner (Ishan).
AGYA CHAKR :: It lies between the eye brows. This direction is related to open space (Akash). Atmospherically, North-East is cooler and so should be ones head. The prayer room (Dev Grah) is recommended in the North-East portion of the house.
VASTU REMEDIES :: Vastu-Dosh is a projected flaw or deficiency in the known characteristics of the eight directions. These directions have been endowed with qualities based on a classification sourced from the Panch-Maha-Bhut.
It is strongly believed that Vastu is a promise to heaven & prosperity. But when most of us live urban life where buildings are constructed mostly without Vastu concepts, due to scarcity of land, Vastu compliance is almost impossible.

गौमुखी भूखण्ड घर के लिए और सिंह मुखी भूखण्ड दूकान के शुभ होते हैं।
केवल ईशान कोण बढने से किसी प्लाट का आकार गोमुखी या शेरमुखी हो जाता है जो अत्यंत शुभ होता है।
जब कोई भूखण्ड एक दिशा में छोटा होकर गोमुखी हो जाता है तो दूसरी दिशा में बढकर सिंह मुखी हो जाता है।
यह शुभ बढाव उत्तर या पूर्व ईशान किसी एक दिशा में ही होना चाहिए।
ईशान कोण के अलावा पूर्व या दक्षिण आग्नेय, दक्षिण या पश्चिम नैऋत्य, पश्चिम या उत्तर वायव्य किसी भी दिशा में प्लाट के बढने से प्लाट गौमुखी या शेरमुखी हो जाता है तो यह बढ़ना अशुभ ही होता है।

यदि पश्चिम वायव्य का बढ़ाव पश्चिम के साथ मिलकर होता है तो प्लाट का स्वामी रसिक मिजाज होगा, बाधायें आयेंगी,अपमान होगा, जातक चिंताओं से ग्रस्त होगा, धन नाश, पुत्र नष्ट होगा और गरीबी से पीड़ित होगा।
उत्तर के साथ मिलकर अगर उत्तर वायव्य में बढ़ाव होगा तो गरीबी ही होगी सुख का अभाव सन्तान का नाश अपमान अशांति और दुःख ही होगा।
VASTU & PYRAMID ARCHETECTURE :: मन्दिर और पिरामिड निर्माण में समानता उनके घुमावदार रूप में और शिखर, गर्भगृह की अधिरचना में निहित है।
मिस्र अमेरिका में पाए जाने वाले पिरामिडों में वास्तु शास्त्र के श्री चक्र यंत्र अथवा मेरु चक्र का प्रयोग किया गया है। श्री चक्र यंत्र का उपयोग पारंपरिक मन्दिरों के निर्माण में किया जाता है।
मन्दिर निर्माण में स्थापत्य कला का प्रचुर उपयोग इस प्रकार किया जाता है कि वहाँ साधक-आराधक को शान्ति सांत्वना का अहसास हो और धार्मिक एवं आध्यात्मिक कार्य सुचारू रूप से किए जा सकें। उसकी दिशा, नींव, भूमि और निर्माण सामग्री का चयन बहुत सोच-समझ-विचार के बाद किया जाता है।गर्भगृह को मंदिर का केंद्र या अधिरचना को नाभि कहा जा सकता है और गर्भगृह की बिंदु से ही ऊपर जाती हुई संरचना, अंत में शिखर का रूप ले लेती है।
The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest building in Teotihuacan, believed to have been constructed about 200 CE and one of the largest in Mesoamerica-Mexico. Found along the Avenue of the Dead, in between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Ciudadela and in the shadow of the massive mountain Cerro Gordo, the pyramid is part of a large complex in the heart of the city. The name Pyramid of the Sun comes from the Aztecs, who visited the city of Teotihuacan centuries after it was abandoned.
हमारे मंदिरों की ही तरह पिरामिड की भी अधिरचना एक ही मंजिल होती है जिसमे एक ही शिखर होता है।
इस शिखर के माध्यम से तैयार आकाशीय बिजली (विद्युत् चुम्बकीय तरंग ) हमें दैवीय प्रभा और आध्यात्मिक शक्ति देता है तथा, अलग गर्भगृह के लिए एक छत होने से शिखर भी गर्भगृह और केंद्रीय देवत्व के प्रमुख देवता के महत्वपूर्णता एवं दिव्य पवित्रता का प्रतीक है।
मंदिर एवं पिरामिड अधिरचना दोनों में ही आश्चर्यजनक रूप से प्रत्येक मंजिला की ऊंचाई के एक चौथाई या एक तिहाई के समानांतर श्रेणी में घटता जाता है !
This is a semi-circular construction built over a strong rock, adapted to the natural environment, on the temple of the Sun there’s a tower with a trapezoidal window, built over a rock of pure granite, in this place the persons who were in charge of the cult of the INTI (The principal god, the Sun) they keep several mummies to be worshiped, these mummies places are called the royal tombs, given that the mummies were an important part of the cult to the Sun.
The gate has a very interested security system, which includes many metal rings that functioned to avoid that the common people was able to watch the rituals dedicated to the sun.
Solar Observatory :- In this place they put many pieces of pottery to equilibrate the position of the Sun, they put this in both windows to performed the rituals perfectly.
Sacrifice Center :- The priest was the person who was in charge of performing the sacrifices, killing many animals and by the reading of its stomach and lungs, he pretended to see the future and prevent any kind of disaster.
The localization of the temple was strategically because the Incas thought that while they are too high, they can reach the sky and do a better perform of his rituals and ceremonies.
According to the Hiram Bingham Studies, this place keep resemblance to the Qoricancha or temple of the Sun, the main building where they worshiped his God the INTI. He came to this conclusion because of the two windows that existed and are related with the Summer solstice and the winter solstice, the longest and shortest days of the year.
Besides the control of the Sun, these people can make decision about the time how and when harvest, since they can observe the Sun movements and the positions of the stars at night, like many ancient cultures, they were aware of the constellations, a very useful tip for his harvest.

The Spanish conquers melt every piece of gold that they found to make his coins and jewels, they thought that many natives hide many treasures on these sites, but nothing was ever found. According to several legends, the town of El Dorado (The golden town) was in Machu Picchu, but other legends point that El Dorado was in Colombia, far away from the Sanctuary.
Inside of the temple, there is a stone that in the Inca times was an altar where the priest made the rituals and sacrifices, and offering the sacred drink of the Incas, Chicha.
The Mausoleum
It was a natural cave under the temple of the sun, which might contain the rest of the Inca Pachacutec, the Inca who send to made Machu Picchu in the 15th century, this theory was created by Hiram Bingham, but recent studies said that this building was made to celebrate the ceremony of the Mother Earth (Pachamama).
इस तरह पिरामिड का शाब्दिक अर्थ "केंद्र में आग अथवा प्रकाश" है और यह शब्द बहुत हद तक मंदिर होने का आभास देता है।
पिरामिड के द्वार उत्तर में है तथा, इसके मध्य में गर्भगृह सी संरचना है, जिसमें राजा को दफ़न किया जाता था एवं उसके चारों और कक्ष बने होते हैं।
पिरामिड के प्रत्येक पक्ष के शीर्ष करने के लिए 51 डिग्री 51 मिनट का एक कोण पर बढ़ जाता है तथा, पक्षों के प्रत्येक सही उत्तर, दक्षिण, पूर्व और पश्चिम के साथ लगभग ठीक से जुड़ रहे हैं।
सनातन मन्दिरों की ही तरह पिरामिड में भी संरचना के कारण उसके गर्भगृह में कॉस्मिक ऊर्जा आकर्षित किया गया है जिसे फ़राओ के शव को संरक्षित करने के लिए उपयोग किया गया है।
भारत के गांवों में पिरामिड के आकार की झोपड़ियाँ बनाई जाती हैं, जिनका प्रयोग खाद्य पदार्थों को लम्बे समय तक ताजा रखने के लिए किया जाता है।
और, यह काफी दिलचस्प है कि हमारे मंदिरों के गर्भगृह में भी खाद्य पदार्थ एक लंबे समय के लिए ताजा बने रहते हैं।
इन सबका रहस्य धर्मग्रंथों में वर्णित श्री चक्र में छुपा है।
मानव शरीर सिर्फ एक जैव रासायनिक इकाई ही नहीं है बल्कि, यह ब्रह्मांड के साथ जैव ऊर्जा एक्सचेंजों बनाए रखना सुरक्षा तथा जीवन से लिपटे जैव रासायनिक एवं विद्युत चुंबकीय ऊर्जा क्षेत्र की एक उत्पाद है और यह श्री चक्र जैव ऊर्जा के समुचित प्रवाह को सुनिश्चित करता है।
निर्विवाद रूप से कहा जा सकता है कि पिरामिड श्री चक्र के आधार बनाकर बनाई गई रचनाएँ हैं।
