Vaasthu Shastra is a meta physical edifice science which is associated with the construction, of house from holistic and scientific perspective. In other words, Vaasthu Shastra can be defined as the science that deals with construction of house by establishing harmony with the environment, the eight direction and five fundamental elements in particular direction of their merits, so as to make that premises and its inhabitants a part and parcel of the nature. Vaasthu Shastra also take into consideration the effect of cosmic waves, the electro magnetic field and the gravitation force.

In this world everything substance, man and animals are made from 'Panch Mahabhutas' that is the five fundamental elements -the earth, the sky, the wind, the water and the fire. These five elements are self-generative and have close relationship with man and his environment. Nature has given them their proper place according to merit. If we give proper place to these elements in our building we become one with nature. Actually nature is God, one can experience the eternal-truths of nature on every step. The whole of nature is overpowered with magnetic environment.

A house constructed as per the principles of Vaasthu will definitely yield good results and lead to the happy living of the inhabitants, whereas a house built casually without following the principles of Vaasthu results in great misery and unhappiness to the inhabitants. The science of Vaasthu is truly secular and perfectly universal. It does not distinguish between the users depending on their caste and creed just as light, space, heat, water and nature do not place any restriction on their users. The science of Vaasthu also throws open its tenets to humanely at large and hence the Question whether the science of Vaasthu is believable stands answered because of its universal efficacy.
