Vastu Shastra is based upon two important scientific facts

Our Mother Earth was created from the minerals and dust from the lava of Sun millions of years ago. Due to the large content of iron particles present in the form of solid and molten state in our Earth, it has a magnificent magnetic property. The North Pole emits the positive magnetic energy and the South Pole performs the Negative part receiving this energy. Hence our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field all over its mass.

If we break a small magnet in to pieces, each part will get its own North and South poles and start acting as an individual magnet. Similarly, when the earth is divided into small parts as an individuals property, every division will attain a magnetic field having its own North and South Pole. As the buildings are constructed with the materials containing iron particles this magnetic effect is further magnified. Vastu Shastra applies certain principles to gain from this magnetic force.

Rotation of the Earth

The main logic behind almost all the rules of Vasthu Shastra depends on these principles:

• We are traveling along with the Earth with all our belongings towards North East direction constantly at a speed of 1670 kilometers per hour.
• The forward direction is North East due to the inclination of the earth.
• The division of the earth, constructions buildings and utilization of the buildings shall not be against this motion.

For example, suppose you have to carry a large and heavy box on a two wheel bike:
·         If the box is kept in the front side on the handle bar, it will reduce our speed and comfort as well restrict our vision.
·         If the box is kept on either left or right side, our balance will not be easy and fall down.
The only best option is to tie the box in the backside in a carrier, so that our travel is totally comfortable.

This is the theory applied in the Vastu rules:

Our Earth is rotating inclined about 23.5 degrees towards North East direction and rotates on its own axis without any rest since more than 400 crore years and also rotates the sun without any axles, bearings or motors. The weight we keep in our place should not hinder its movement.

A good example is loading a bullock cart, which runs on only two wheels and without any ball bearings. The cart man balances the cart by distributing the weight, so that pulling it is comfortable for the bullocks. Imagine how your car would strain to accelerate if you load heavy weight in its front side. The earth is rotating and rolling towards the North-East direction, hence keeping heavy weight at that direction would strain its moment.

Vastu Shastra divides a place mainly into nine parts aligning with the directions: - North, East, South, West, North East Corner, South East Corner, South West Corner, North West Corner and Center.
