Our sages and saints in India always wanted to ensure the happiness and prosperity not only to mankind but to energy living being in this world. They showed serious concern about the happiness and welfare of every one, with a view to ensure that people live in peace and harmony with prosperity, comforts and happiness enjoying health, wealth, wisdom and all the pleasures and comforts, they evolved various codes and system for one living which are contained in on ancient scriptures like vedas, upanishads etc.

Vastu is effected with positive power of three elements: the earth, the water, the fire (the sun).

Earth: was formed about 460 crore years ago and it was a fiery ball. In due course of time, the rocks melted and the surface has formed and acquired magnetism due to the magnetic particles embedded within. It has two poles, North pole and South pole.

Sky: is the endless space available on the universe. The universal concept of sky is beyond the imagination and reaches of human being as it is a never ending eternal development.

Air (Atmosphere): is composed of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon-dioxide, helium, neon, crypton and vapour. Oxygen is life saving gas indispensable to living organism.

Water: Due to rainfall from clouds, water flowed into low lying area of earth's surface and oceans were formed. The eternal water cycling is mystery of nature.

Sun: Sun plays a vital role in Vastu Shastra. Which is source of life on earth and this is the reason why Sun is worshipped as an incarnation of god or the potential source of creation on the earth.

Vastu shastra.

The Sun, as our ancestors revealed long back is the only source of light and heat for human and other living being, from where we are able to live and feel the presence and direction of object. Therefore, the Sun, rising Sun is like a god, who gives us our essentials to live in, and the direction from where it is apparent to the entire world is taken as reference as the EAST direction. So the East direction is considered to the pious direction from where we get our main essentials. If we face the rising sun, the facing direction is called East, behind us shall be West, our left hand denotes North direction and right hand denotes South direction, therefore, the effect of the direction leads to its result to the building / house constructed therein.
