VAASTU CONTINUED..........


 
In continuation of my previous blog on Vaastu principles, today I would like to discuss use of Vaastu in elaborated way.

1: In Vaastu based plan circular or hexagonal or irregular shapes in planning is not allowed, only square & rectangular plans are permitted: This has a scientific reason that maximum areas can be utilized in rectangular & square plans, and there is minimum wastage of area to be used.

2: Store/ Elevated area with minimum openings is to be kept in south, southwest and western walls: This has a valid point , these areas since have very less openings will stop the heat from the setting south west sun thus giving more comfortable environment inside the building

3: Stairs to be clock wise and rectangular in shape no circular stairs allowed: Usually we do parikrama clockwise in temples, i think this relates the faith for stairs in a building.

4: In Bed Rooms the Head position while sleeping should not be towards north side: This has some relation with magnetic field of earth, and a theory that keeping the head in north while sleeping will not give a sound sleep.

In my opinion Vaastu if followed in a true spirit is always good, but not blindly
We have to keep balance between our beliefs and practical science.

Kudos to our Ancestors for developing a science which no other civilization or society has ever thought off.

Let us explore further, what is a field of architecture, and what an architect does. Well the answer to this is needs an extensive elaboration: The field of architecture is basically related to human settlement in groups & societies, where there is an involvement of Human race, architecture field comes into picture. For example, say for a human settlement, a colony planing is required, with colonies in picture means of movement/ road network is required, further to full-fill daily needs, market, shopping area, schools, entertainment, transit system, etc. are to be designed. And here comes the architect. Person with a job to plan and improve our standard of living with his planning & inputs to the overall infrastructure, with design of a small house, to colonies, to cities, office building, cultural buildings, office complexes etc. etc. The list is long, to add further “from a mere shop design to a shopping centre, and a shopping mall, entertainment theatres”

In continuation to my earlier post about the field of architecture,  there is a specific difference between a designer and artist,  an artist uses his brush as per his will and make different strokes on a canvas.  He uses his tool as master stroke to shape his imagination.  While a designer is a person who has to transform the strokes upon a live canvas giving shapes and colors to a 3d environment.  Whose task is difficult? Certainly a designer's canvas. To bring imagination into a reality,  to fulfill the dream into colors of 3d.  What a great artist.  And thy name is architect.  A different profession of art to reality. I will continue to write on this subject in my  further posts,  be in touch.
