Introduction To Vaastu

The word Vaastu means a dwelling. Vaastu Shilpa means the science of house building.

The science of house building is very ancient in India. The knowledge has come down from creator Brahma through an unbroken succession of sages.

According to the Vishwakarma Vaastu Shastra, the celestial architect Lord Brahma got a thorough knowledge of his science from Lord Shiva.

The present day Vaastu owes its origin mainly to 125 verses contained in Brihat Sanhita of Varahamihira.

We are presently below a simplified summary of Vaastu principles. The Vaastu Shastra in itself is too detailed to be presented at a single place. Nor it is likely to be understood by the modern dayÕs generation in its original form.
