In today’s world, each one of us is in the horde and cat rage of being successful and powerful to win the race of life. Being fueled by positive energy and supportive house/workplace are the key ingredients of a blissful and successful life where Vastu plays an important role. Scientific studies conducted in this area have proven that positive surroundings and good vibes do maximum contribution to the success of individuals. Though most people curse their stars for their discontent and unhappiness; there are other forces working towards your unsuccessful life full of mental stress and bad health which is none other than going against the Vastu principles.
The meaning of Vastu is dwelling, which is the home for god and humans. Vastu Shastra is based on various energies that come from atmosphere like solar energy from sun, cosmic energy, lunar energy, thermal energy, magnetic energy, light energy, wind energy. These energies can be balanced to enhance peace, prosperity and success. If a house is made according to these principles, the inmates enjoy all the happiness in life but if it is against Vastu principals, it will be a place for all sorts of problems, worries and restlessness. Vastu considered the interplay of various forces of nature involving the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and strives to maintain equilibrium as these elements influence, guide and change the living styles of not only human beings but every living being on earth.
