Before knowing Vastu Shastra is science or superstition
Let’s understand what is Vastu and its definition.
History of Vastu Shastra.
The word VASTU is Sanskrit word. The vāstu means a dwelling or house with a corresponding plot of land. The vāstu, takes the meaning of “the site or foundation of a house, site, ground, building or dwelling-place, habitation, homestead, house”.
The underlying root is vas “to dwell, live, stay, reside”. The term Shastra may loosely be translated as “doctrine, teaching”.
Vāstu-Śastras (literally, science of dwelling) are ancient Sanskrit manuals of architecture.
These contain Vastu-Vidya (literally, knowledge of dwelling).
In simple way it is defined as follows.
Vastu Shastra is science which deals with direction and sub direction electromagnetic field of earth some shuttle frequency like electromagnetic frequency radio isotopic.
It was written in Grantha’s like Mansar Mayamatam, Mansar, Vishwakarama Prakash, Samrangan Sutradhar, Vastu Ratnavali, Sthapatya Veda etc We normally see its use in slolka’s also though there is not a separate study but it is used in all sloka’s
Normally earlier day’s people use to build the villages and religious places on bases of Vastu.
Vastu and superstition
The use of Vastu Shastra and Vastu consultants in modern home and public projects is controversial.Some architects, particularly during India’s colonial era, considered it arcane and superstitious.Other architects state that critics have not read the texts and that most of the text is about flexible design guidelines for space, sunlight, flow and function.
Vastu Shastra is a pseudoscience, states Narendra Nayak – the head of Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations. In contemporary India, Vastu consultants “promote superstition in the name of science”. Astronomer Jayant Narlikar states Vastu Shastra has rules about integrating architecture with its ambience, but the dictates of Vastu and alleged harm or benefits being marketed has “no logical connection to environment”. He gives examples of Vastu consultants claiming the need to align the house to magnetic axis for “overall growth, peace and happiness, or that “parallelogram-shaped sites can lead to quarrels in the family”, states Narlikar.This is pseudoscience.
Vibhuti Chakrabarti, a scholar of Architecture and Sanskrit literature who has critically translated historic Vastu literature, states that in contemporary India, some are offering their services as Vastu consultants where they project it as a “religious tradition”, rather than an “architectural methodology” as actually taught in the historic texts. These consultants include “quacks, priests and astrologers” fueled by greed and with little knowledge of what the historic Vastu-Shastra texts actually teach. They market false advice and superstition in the name of Vastu Vidya tradition, sometimes under the rubric of “Vedic sciences”.
In modern days the architect are planning the entire township on bases of Vastu Shastra who believe in Cosmic Energy and Geopathic stress. Like in recent days Chandigarh and Noida is best examples of Vastu Complaint Township which is designed in sectors it has got success because of its planning with help of Vastu Science.
The Vastu rules are followed in ancient time like especially in villages like Wadas and Haveli’s where center part of Wada used to keep open knowing its importance in human life.
In modern time due to lack of space developers are ignored the Vastu rules but after some years we have realized the impact on our health, Relation, Career and Money. Now most of people have realized the Science behind this. Above we have mentioned about cosmic energy and its effect on earth
Important Directions in Vastu
Before knowing Vastu we must be knowing what are the main direction and sub direction of lands and plots.
Directions In Vastu
Though the subject is controversial some people still do not believe in it but there are scientist from Germany, Russian, Scandinavia and Indian scientist did the research on it. Now it is scientifically proved that Vastu has impact on human body and soul.
Scientist also studies earth’s electromagnetic fields and its impact on human glands.
Types of Vastu
It has observed that good or Bad Vastu does not show its effect immediately but it definitely impact after over the period of time.
Now we see Types of Vastu, There are generally two type of Vastu
- Commercial Vastu ( Passive )
- Residential Vastu ( Active )
As Human being spend there active time in residential Vastu so it has 80% impact on them and 20% impact of commercial Vastu on them.
Vastu generally impact when our immune system becomes weak due to wrong Vastu.
Role of Geopathic Stress and its effect on Vastu.
Let’s also understand what is Geopathic Stress and its effect.
As we know Stress can come from any number of sources, including your job, from bad relationships, or challenges in life and other emotionally taxing situations.
The concept of Geopathic stress appears to add one more potential source to consider: the energy of the earth itself.
Yes earth has energy itself but Most people have very little idea what lies in the ground below them. Maybe you have never even considered the geological or man-made features underneath your home.
Geopathic stress rests on the idea that the Earth gives off a certain energy vibration that’s disrupted by underground features, including: tunnels,sewers,geological faults,pipes,mineral deposits,utility lines and underground water.
Living above one of these areas of energy disturbance, according to this theory, can result in Geopathic stress. And that stress is said to cause a range of physical and psychological symptoms.
The idea that bad vibes or negative energy can affect health and wellness isn’t at all new.
In the early 1900s the concept of Geopathic stress seems to originate, it shares a lot of similarities with long-standing practices like feng shui and crystal dowsing, both of which many people find helpful.
To date, though, there’s no scientific evidence to support Geopathic stress. Most medical professionals don’t recognize this phenomenon, much less consider it a threat to well-being.
What about all those studies?
While experts generally don’t recognize the existence of Geopathic stress, you can find studies that suggest otherwise. But not all studies are created equal — and those looking at Geopathic stress have some major flaws.
Example 1
In a study from 2010, researchers asked 154 men of varying ages to lie down along Geopathic stress zones for 20 minutes. Next, they took their blood pressure and heart rate and compared them with measurements taken in a neutral zone.
These measurements showed some variation between the two zones, though in many cases the difference was very small. Based on these findings, the researchers concluded these Geopathic zones appeared to have some influence on typical bodily functioning.
However, this study had a small sample size and made no mention of a control group.
A control group would include participants who didn’t lie on the zone. While testing, neither group would know whether they were on the Geopathic zone.
The lack of a control group makes it difficult for researchers to take into account other potential factors for the changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
The researchers themselves also noted that 20 minutes may not be adequate to test potential effects of Geopathic stress zones.
Example 2
Another small study from 2010 Trusted Source explored the potential impact of Geopathic zones on well-being and work performance.
Researchers gave 26 people a series of reaction tasks in a Geopathic stress zone and again in a designated neutral zone. Participants answered questions about their well-being after each part of the experiment.
The results suggest the Geopathic zone didn’t seem to affect the participants’ task performance. Researchers did note, though, that the participants’ questionnaire answers suggested decreased well-being in the Geopathic zone.
While this study was both randomized and blinded, it was quite small, even compared to the small study mentioned above.
Example 3
In a very small randomized controlled trial from 2005 Trusted Source, researchers used a gas discharge visualization (GDV) system to detect different levels of “glow” in 52 participants, both in a Geopathic zone and a neutral zone.
Participants showed less glow in the Geopathic zone, a finding that led study authors to conclude that different zones affected the participants in different ways.
Even without their small sample sizes and other limitations, each study identified Geopathic stress zones through dowsing. When dowsing, a person uses a stick or rod with a fork in it to locate minerals under the ground, according to the United States Geological Survey.
Importantly, dowsing is a practice that’s not backed by science. What’s more, while some people believe GDV devices can capture a person’s aura and reveal signs of illness, scientific research hasn’t found any proof.
Keep in mind that the power of suggestion can go a long way. When you think something’s wrong with your house, you might feel unsettled and stressed.
This uneasiness can contribute to very real health issues — like trouble sleeping and anxiety symptoms — that are similar to the purported signs of Geopathic stress.
Fatigue can fuel other symptoms, feeding into a loop of distress that only reinforces the belief that something’s wrong.
If you’re concerned about it in your home
Many people look to alternate explanations when medical treatment can’t explain or treat their symptoms.
If you feel exhausted, sick, and stressed and your healthcare provider hasn’t diagnosed any specific illness, you might feel willing to try anything to find the cause and get some relief. That’s perfectly understandable.
Still, you have other options beyond turning to energy healers for expensive treatments around your home.
When you believe something in your home or office is affecting your health, these tips can help you get more insight on potential causes.
Spend a few days with a friend
Taking some time away from your house can help you determine whether it’s really the cause of your symptoms. If your symptoms begin to improve right away, you could be dealing with some type of household hazard.
On the other hand, if you still have symptoms away from home, the underlying cause probably isn’t related to your house at all.
Do cold or flu-like symptoms appear at work and disappear over the weekend or other periods of time away? You could have something called sick building syndrome (SBS).
SBS involves a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, trouble concentrating, headaches, and irritability — all symptoms attributed to Geopathic stress.
If this pattern continues, let your healthcare provider know about your symptoms, particularly when they start and go away. Mention your symptoms to someone at work who can help you track down potential causes.
Check for other household hazards
If it still seems that the problem is stemming from your home, check for other things that might trigger unexplainable symptoms, like:
- poor air quality
- mold
- humidity
- pests and their droppings
- secondhand smoke
- improperly stored cleaning products
- carbon monoxide
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can closely mimic signs of Geopathic stress. You might notice:
- persistent headaches
- weakness and fatigue
- confusion
- dizziness and nausea
- blurry vision
Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can cause brain damage and death, so it’s always wise to double-check the battery in your carbon monoxide detector. If you don’t have a detector, get one right away.
Examine other sources of stress
Stress, anxiety, and depression can all contribute to physical symptoms, including:
- fatigue
- difficulty sleeping
- headaches
Trouble focusing on tasks is another common symptom of several mental health concerns.
Your mood might seem to shift rapidly with no explanation, and your distress can spill over into your relationships with others.
Not everyone recognizes mental health symptoms right away. It can help to consider the following:
- Are you experiencing life changes?
- Do you have a hard time getting excited about things you usually enjoy?
- Does life seem less satisfying?
- Do you feel burned out with your job or relationship?
- Do you have any big worries you can’t shake?
Talking with a therapist can help you get some more clarity on what’s bothering you.
Talk with a professional
If you have regular symptoms that keep coming back — like persistent headache and fatigue, body aches, or mood changes — start by keeping track of them in a daily log.
Write down everything, even things that don’t seem relevant. Minor symptoms could provide more clues. Be sure to note:
- the severity of the symptoms
- when they appear
- when they go away
Then, talk with your healthcare provider and show them the notes you’ve been keeping. Plenty of symptoms have no apparent cause until you talk with a medical professional trained to notice the bigger picture.
The bottom line
Geopathic stress is likely nothing to worry about, since research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence that it even exists.
Still, there’s no harm in moving your bed, cleaning your room, and rearranging other pieces of furniture if that makes you feel better.
Opening up your living space and addressing potential hazards like dust and mold can promote wellness by improving your health and giving you a fresh outlook.
The best part? It’s absolutely free.
