Why is vastu important?

Vastu is a science that bridges man and nature. According to it every substance is made up of five basic elements namely earth, water, space, fire and air. Our earth is the only planet where you can find all of the panchbhootas. If any building is constructed without considering these elements then it is difficult to gain any benefits. We draw some kind of positive energy from all of these five elements. A strange vibration level is experienced which is out of the knowledge of human beings.

Vastu is a field that is based on laws of nature. It helps us maintain equilibrium not only in moving bodies but also in static objects and this produce positive energy in our surrounding.
