Vastushastra. Even a thought or a discussion on the subject, first raises the question, whether it is science or an art form. Since ancient times. 64 art forms and 716 subject were deeply studied by our ancient sages. All these art froms and subject are very and related to human life. Patanjali’s Yogashastra’; ‘Ayurveda by Dhanwantari ; the ‘Charaksamhita’; ‘Arthashastra’ of Kautiya; Chanakya vision of political science; unique mathematical studies by Aryabhatta; which later blossomed into ‘Jyotishastra’. In fact these deep studieshave made it possible for us to live our lives in happiness and prosperity.

Every individual has a definite idea in his mind regarding his house. He makes every effort to make this idea materialize and when this idea really comes into existence he is naturally happy and thrilled .There is affinity in this house; there is love amongst the members of the family; there is a happy feeling of fulfillment as an owner; where the parents and their children, husband and wife; are real companions .In such a house the children dance happily, the elders rush to the house eagerly after finishing their daily chores. Just like the nature, where birds rush to their nests, the animals rush to their living places & the wild animals too, eagerly to their dens. It is, however, observed that in some houses, the members do not have affinity for their home. They have no desire to comeback home. They spend more & more time out of the house and return as if they have no other option. The most important question here is why does this happen?

The flow from the south and the west, however, brings about events leadings to difference of opinion, cruelty, sorrow, imperfection & illness.
