In a lay person's language, vastushastra means a formula
that dictates how a home should be constructed to achieve success, material,
prosperity, good health and better fortunes. Obviously disregarding those, who
tend to laugh it off as a silly superstition. The truth remains that vastushastra
is an ancient science of structure whose foundations lie in sound scientific
theory. Therefore, the main point is how relevant it is to the urban culture, and
whether it can be adapted to the requirements of the contemporary scenario.
While eliminating the misconceptions, our attempt here
is to present a practical and comprehensive understanding of the tenants
that drive this science. We don't promise instant prosperity but if you
follow the rules, you will find yourself thinking positively, acting wisely
and working more efficiently.
Since vastushastra is essentially a science that governs
the aspects of construction, climatologic plays a large role in how its
theories operate. How the wind blows, where the sun rays fall, and how
strong or weak the earth's magnetic forces are at a particular spot, are
just some of the factors that rule vastushastra. The five major factors
influencing vastushastra are:

| Wind |
|
| Gravity |
