Terminology
The Sanskrit word vastu means a dwelling or house with a corresponding plot of land.[2] The vrddhi, vāstu, takes the meaning of "the site or foundation of a house, site, ground, building or dwelling-place, habitation, homestead, house". The underlying root is vas "to dwell, live, stay, abide".[3] The term shastra may loosely be translated as "science, doctrine, teaching". Besides, some say that Vastu was one of the greatest architect and town planning expert ever produced by India who lived 2000 years ago. The king would send him for planning and establishing a town. This concept of Vastu is not highlighted anywhere.Fundamental Concepts
There are many principles in Vaastu Shastra. To mention a few which involve certain mathematical calculations, Maana is used for proportional relationships in a building and Aayaadi
specifies conditions for maximum well being and benefits for the
residents of a building. Below are some of the basic theories in vaastu
sastra.
