Vaastu Principles

The principles of Vaastu are derived from Vaastu Purush Mandala; a man lying with his head-pointing North-East, in a grid of 64 squares dedicated to different Gods. It is believed that the world comprises of five basic and essential elements known as SPACE, AIR, FIRE, WATER & EARTH.

Vaastu Purush Mandala signifies metaphysical plan of a building. Vaastu means: a surrounding, environment, matter or nature. Purush means: energy, work power, vigor or soul. Mandala means: the astrological chart-which relates the layout to the orientation.

Vaastu means matter. The image of Vaastu Purush, one with Mandala is drawn in the likeness of man. His head lies in the north east in the Mandala of 64 squares, the legs in the south west, right hand in north west, left hand in south east and other parts of the body fill the square. The body of Vaastu Purush comprises of 45 Gods and deities.
