The origin and history of Vastu Shastra
The Indian civilization is one of the ancient, oldest and richest heritage that has got many branches of science such as astrology, astronomy, mathematics, sculpture, architecture, geography and occult science etc.
Vastu Shastra is one of the branches of the ancient Indian science that says all about the power of place and study of the nature. The ancient sages and saints could understand the mysterious power of five elements that made this universe habitable.
Even the saints were capable of understanding the gravitational force, magnetic field, ultraviolet rays, velocity of winds, position of earth, volcanic eruption, hydrology, solar and lunar eclipse and movement of the stars and planets in the celestial body.
The application of this science in the construction of the house is certainly a blend of science of direction and spirituality.
The people have been using this effective science of direction from the time immemorial. The study and research on the science of Vastu Shastra has been prevailing for years.
Five elements and Vastu Shastra
There are five elements taken into consideration in Vastu Shastra. These five elements are as follows:
- Earth
- Water
- Fire
- Air
- Space
As per the science of five elements, the whole universe is made with these five elements. All the living and non-living elements in the universe is the combination of 5 elements be it human being, animals, trees, creepers, serpents and rodents etc.
The body of the human being is also run by these elements. The coordination of these 5 elements of in the body of human being can really make a difference. As the human being, so is the dwelling place. Hence, the house should be constructed by the proper co-ordination of these sacred and sublime elements.
These elements are vital in determining the placement of the objects in a particular direction to enhance the positive energy at home, offices, temples, school, colleges, hospitals and garden etc.
For example; the kitchen should not be placed in the northeast corner since the NE is the place which is the place of water elements. And the kitchen should be placed in the southeast corner which is the place of fire elements.
The scientific approach and application of these five elements may not completely change the destiny. However, it will certainly be helpful in creating growth story in your life.

As u said the kitchen should not be placed in the northeast corner but i have it in that direction can u please give me some tips regarding that.
Manoranjan Prusty says
Hi Pradnya, It is always recommended to keep the North-East corner vacant and should be kept only for Puja place. In case you have it in the NE, then replace it. I don’t think you can remove the Vastu Dosh by simply keeping Vastu Dosh Nivaran products. Remember always NE corner is the most important place in the house that should never be neglected.
