Vastu and its evolution :-
1. Vastu is the science of architecture originated during vedic time. All old constructions followed
vastu .vastu suggests guidelines for good and healthy living for human beings.
2. Vastu purusha is presiding deity of vastu science.
3. Any site or land is called vastu, and anything its attached to /constructed on it is called vastuvu.
4. Vastu describes the rules that need to be followed for procuring site, examination of site,
constructing process according to pancha buthas. Hence its called as VAstu Shastra.
5. Sun is the source of energy to universe(bhavishya puranam). Vishwa karma sahasramsu. Surya
himself considered as vishwa karma. So sun can be considered as vastu purusha.
6. With rotation of earth while rotating around sun, day and nights/seasons are occurring. The
magnetic energy produced energy produced out of sun rays have different wave lengths. So
each energy is given a deity name in vastu Shastra.
7. One of prime necessities of human beings is residence. So man would like to have a comfortable
home to live peacefully with his family. In process of such comfortable home, vastu Shastra
evolved.
8. Birth of vastu purusha occurred on Bhadrapada shulka tadiya. ( 3rd day after full moon in bhadra
pada masam) on Saturday
9. Vastu purusha orgin:-once up on a time there was a severe war between Lord shiv and demon
andhakasura.During that time a drop of sweat of shiva fell from his body. A body produced out
of sweat and was causing fear in all three lokas. All devats went to Lord Bramha for advise. As
per Bramha’s advise all devatas pushed that fearful creature towards earth. That creature grew
leaps and bounds and fell on earth with great speed upside down( i.e Head downwards).This
creature spread all over the earth. This creature was called as Vastu purusha by people on
earth.and because of boons of brahma, all devas resides on the body of vastu purusha.
10. Vastu purusha should be worshipped during griha arambha, griha pravesha, installation of
doors, new year’s day, beginning of the yagna, marriages, at the time of birth of son, thread
ceremony, reconstruction of demolished houses, burnt house due to lighting or fire, snake
bitten at home, owl, snake, crow, animal sound homes, during celebrations at home. Vastu puja
should be done even during village/cities/town /corridors/big parks construction. Ignoring vastu
Pooja may result in hinderance/death/poverty.
11. The scientific reason for vastu face towards down is can be similar to sun rays. All sun rays
travel down wards and spread all over the earth.This sun rays giving light, energy to living
beings on earth. Vastu purusha’s different body parts are blessed by devatas . in those body
parts those devatas reside. Though vastu purusha is occupying entire earth, a small site/land is
also treated as part of earth in square or rectangle and assign directions as per vastu purusha.
Position of vastu purusha:-
• Vastu purusha lies up side down is known as Sthira vastu purusha
• Head towards NE,Feet towards, SW, right shoulder SE, Left shoulder NW and chest and
arms in the middle.
• Chara vastu purusha is also called as masa vastu purusha
• Sthira vastu purusha rotates in the site in all four directions clock wise with the influence
of earth movement with respect to sun (rotation and revolution) to become chara vastu
purusha.
• Narada samhitha says that the direction at which vastu purusha is looking (aspecting)
during various phases of month based on the earth’s movement, its enunciated in
vastu Shastra that construction of main door should be in co-relation with the direction
in which vastu purusha is gazing.
• Vastu purushas head will be in the following directions during these months
East- Bhadrapada, ashwayuja, karthika
South—margasira, pushya, magha
West—phalguni, Chaitra, vishaka
North- Jyeshta, ashada, sravana.
• Vastu purusha lies on his left side.
• Dina vasthu/kshanika vastu purusha:-in this method, the movement of vastu purusha is
calculated on quarterly basis. East, south , west and north directions are in co relation
with revolution of earth( rotation and spinning). Due to rotation of earth, vastu purusha
faces all four directions from sun rise to sun set. First quarter- north, second quarter –
east, third quarter, south and fourth quarter – west. This is during day time. Same cycle
is repeated in night time also.
