Vastu Shastra is the sublime elucidation of your surrounding and their influence on your life. Vastu literally means " house" or Dwelling Place and its principles establish to create a harmony between the fine elements viz. Earth, Sky, Fire, Water and Air in the environment .

Our ancient sages have applied their vastu knowledge and judgment to mitigate the negative functioning of our environment and increase the advantageous effect that it can have on our life.

Indisputably, Vastu is an essential part of astrology, it takes into consideration not only physical / corporeal success but also mental calmness & tranquility.

This sub-forum looks very very interesting, (and this is very new to me)
I have one question for you, if Vaastu Shastra is something similar to Feng Shui?

Yes & no. Vaastu Shastra is more of a architectural technology to build buildings for the benefit of a person, family or country or anyone & anything involved. Feng shui is more of a easy way to balance Positive & Negative energies.

A person I know has a book on Vaastu Shastra printed around 1840's which talks about the proper way to build a 6 storey building, & many ppl have built it, using that technique. Think about it, 6-storey building in 1840's?? when the Westren countries hadn't even perfected a 4-storeied building.

Hmm.. now I see..
Do you try these techniques?
I am not sure about 'the flow of energies' that can make you better, but I believe that a good-built building can help a person :D

Well i personally don't practice it yet, but i know lots of ppl who do.
