The theory of
proportion underlying Vasthu has a deep spiritual orientation-Vasthu
in its true form is based on the theory of proportion .The mathematical
calculations associated with it evolved from thousands of years
of practical experience and philosophical thinking. Astrology and
Nimitha Sasthra are two other subjects that have contributed to
the matrix of Vasthu solutions
Clarity
of Mind
Astrology deals
with the deduction of auspicious times for various activities and
Nimitha shows the outcome of each activity in future by the careful
study of natures pulse. One needs a very clear mind to understand
nature's vibrations and for that one has to be a dedicated Sadhakan.
In short a Vasthu specialist must be able to interpret Nimithas
effectively.
The best examples of Vasthu designed structures are the temples
of Kerala. The principle behind the temple construction is none
other than the Universal principle adopted by nature from the micro
-level to macro- level
Parallels
From the solar
system to the atomic structure, the pattern of working is the same-
planets with their satellites revolving around the sun in fixed
paths, and in an atom, electrons revolving round the nucleus in
shells.
The number of
electrons in each shell is also restricted by nature in a particular
way. If you carefully examine the Vasthu design of a Kerala Maha
Kshetram (temple) you can find some similarity between it and that
of the atomic structure.
Classic
structure
In a temple,
the idol is located in a position similar to that of the nucleus
of the atom. The outer wall of the Sreekovil (central shrine with
two Dwarapalakas resemble the K shell of an atom with two electrons.
The eight Ashtadikpalakas
around the sreekovil in the inner Balivattom resemble the L shell
of an atom with eight electrons. The Chuttambalam structure around
the sreekovil and the inner Balivattom is supported by 18 pillars
or by multitudes of 18 pillars, which again is similar to that of
an M shell in an atom
The next shell
outside that of a Chuttambalamis the Chuttuvilakku. The supporting
posts of the chuttuvilakku are usually 32 or multiples of 32, again
similar to that of an N shell in an atom
Outside the
chuttuvilakku come the outer Balivattom, Pradikshana vashi and mahaparyantham
(outer boundary wall) that is also similar to the outer shells of
an atom. Spiritually it constitutes a Yantra, which is based on
nature's principles.
Correct
path
Mantras and
Yantras along with Tantra create an atmosphere for guiding the minds
of ordinary people and leading them along the correct path for their
unification with nature. This can be compared to the human body,
which is also a part of nature. The temple can thus be compared
to the universal body as well as the physical human body
It is also said
that the human body is a temple and the "jeevatma" inside
the body is none other than Paramatma (Brahma). One must not think
that every thing happening in life is due to the effects of Vasthu
and Vasthu correction will solve all problems.
