Similarities Between Vastu Shastra And Feng Shui
Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui are both ancient and sacred bodies of knowledge that reveal the relationship between humans and their inhabitants. In Vishnu Shastra, as well as in Feng Shui, the focus is on human well-being, which can only be achieved when we are in harmony with nature and the universal flow of energy. What we know and understand about both Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui is still quite limited, as ancient knowledge is rarely clearly translated and applied in modern culture. It is often said that Vastu Shastra began with a main focus on the sacred architecture of Hindu temples, while one of the oldest applications of feng shui is yin feng shui тАУ or feng shui of cemeteries.
Vaastu Shastra
Indian Vastu Shastra is actually the science of building construction. In this the rooms of the house. Different directions and angles have been given from the kitchen to the washroom. It is to establish a balance between the structure and nature of the whole house. According to Vastu Shastra, keeping in mind the directions and angles while building a house, prosperity, health, and happiness remains in the house.
Difference Between Feng Shui And Vastu Shastra
In Chinese Vastu Feng Shui, the south direction has been described as full of positive energy and having an auspicious effect. In China, keeping water, fountains, keeping fish, or planting plants in the southeast angle (an angular place between south and east) is considered auspicious. But in Indian Vastu Shastra, keeping anything related to water in the southeast angle is considered a great fault. According to Vastu, building a kitchen or doing work related to fire in the southeast corner, keeping electrical items is considered auspicious.
The principles of Vastu Shastra are applicable only in India and the principles of Feng Shui are applicable only in China. But it is not so, the principles of both Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui are equally applicable all over the world. Because both these scriptures are based on the rays of the sun and the magnetic waves flowing on the earth. The rays of the sun and the waves of the earth are not affected by the boundaries of any country set by man. Come, let us know what are the similarities between these two scripturesтАж
In Feng Shui, it is advised to use red color on the main door of the house, which increases the fame of the people living in that house. At the same time, Vastu Shastra says that only red color should be used for writing Swastik, Om, and Shubh-Labh on the main door. This is auspicious. Most of the deities in temples are offered vermilion. Goddess is dressed in red Chola and Chunariya, then in China also God is decorated with red clothes, red paper, and red colored bulbs are installed in the temple.
Keeping junk inside the house is not considered auspicious in Feng Shui and cleanliness is highly emphasized. In India, attention is given to the cleanliness of the houses and on Diwali, the entire house must be thoroughly cleaned once. The placement of furniture is explained in detail in Feng Shui and in Vastu Shastra, keeping the door in the right place automatically makes the placement of furniture correct.
It is said in Feng Shui that never put violent pictures in the house. The picture should not be of a single person, it should be of a couple. Even in India, posting pictures of Mahabharata is not considered auspicious. Mostly pictures of Sita-Ram, Shiva-Parvati, Radha-Krishna, etc. are put in pairs.
An important thing is that nowhere in the texts of Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, any information has been given about toilets. In Vastu Shastra, it has been told about the bathroom should be in the east direction. In both India and China, in ancient times, people used to go to the forests away from home for defecation. In both the scriptures, the northeast and the east direction have been considered very sacred and it has been advised to keep it clean. Therefore, according to both scriptures, the instruction is clear not to build toilets in the northeast.
Sleeping with feet towards the door is not considered auspicious in Vastu, then it is also considered inauspicious in Feng Shui. Therefore, if both Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui are used together, then by taking maximum advantage of the positive energy prevailing in the environment, man can lead a more pleasant life.
Conclusion
In Vastu Shastra, the decoration, decoration, direction, and angles of the house are very important. On the other hand, Chinese Vastu Shastra i.e. Feng Shui is about the balance of energy between the whole universe and the environment. The literal meaning of Vastu is 'object'. This can also be understood from this way that the existence of something and the word Shastra means 'knowledge'. Feng Shui is a Chinese word, which literally means 'wind/needle and water'. There is very little difference between Indian Vastu Shastra and Chinese Feng Shui. Talk to astrologers for more information about Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui.
