Natural Energies on the Earth and Their Relation with Ancient Indian Science Vaastu Shastra

Physics is the study of matter and energy and in general, the field aims to analyse and understand the natural phenomenon of universe. On the other hand Vaastu Shastra is the traditional Indian system of architecture and design of Vedic origin. The Sanskrit word ‘Vastu’, derived from Vedas, means ‘dwelling’, and in the modern context, it covers all buildings. Vaastu Shastra takes into account of various natural energies which are available free of cost around us, in atmosphere on earth. Utilization of such energies gives us pleasure, peace and prosperity in our lives. According to vaastu –shastra, energy lines run like a large grid across the earth from north to south and East to West. The movement of energy through a 4-side building is similar to the flow of energy across the earth and electromagnetic field thus generated, affects the human body. In physics there are various forces in action and for the stability of anything the balance of force is necessary. In case of vaastu there are three forces in action to create harmony, Wind or Air (Vaayu), Water (Jal) and Fire (Agni). If these forces are kept in their appropriate places, there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination the force will stand acting accordingly and create disharmony and un-peaceful environment. Vaastu is a logical explanation of scientific truths and facts and is based upon two important scientific facts, magnetic property of the earth and rotation of the on its axis.This paper correlates various forms of energies with vaastu and their effects on residents.
