Vaastu Lession Three: VAASTU PURUSH Concept, Attributes & Safeguards
What
is so unique about Vaastu, the
ancient Indian architecture? Vaastu
puts a soul into architecture through the concept of Vaastu purush (cosmic man). Hence, all the attributes to keep the
human healthy in all the facets of life are duly considered. For perfect
activation, continuation and acceleration of the process the tenets of Vaastu should be applied.
Vaastu
Purush lies down with its face downwards so bearing the load of all the human
structures. For better results, offerings should always be made to vaastu
purush. Every peace of land, once marked for whatever purpose is occupied a
vaastu purush. It will give harmony
prosperity only when its use in accordance with its natural attributes. Like a flute will give only a certain note
from each of its hole, vaastu-purush gives desired results when used or built
upon as per the tenets of vaastu. Vaastu Purush has three positions, nitya
vaastu (changing every three hours in a day), chara vaastu (changing four times
a year correspond to the seasons) and sthira vaastu i.e. fixed vaastu purush,
(sthira denotes permanance meaning hereby permanent positive results) which
position is given here.
Vaastu Purush and Directions:
Vaastu Purush is bound from
four cardinal directions called :
East (Indira), West (Varuna),
North (Kubera), and South (Yama); and
four non cardinal directions called :
Northwest
(vayavya), Northeast (eashanya),
Southeast
(Agneya) and South-west (Nairutya)
Lastly, it also maintains BrahmSthana (Central Place) which, of course, is attributable to Earth (Prithvi).
Vaastu
Purush is a living organism, and so, Panchmahabhutas (Five Great Elements) i.e.
Earth (prithvi), Water (apa), Light or Fire (Tejas), Air (Vayu) and Ether or
Space (Akasa) are allocated to the nine sections stated and shown above.
Vaastu
Purush is lying with his face and stomach down and touching the ground. His
head is at the Northeast (aisanya) and legs at Southwest (Nairrutya),
corresponding to the North Pole and the earth tilt, explained earlier.
According
to atmospheric circle, Southwest (Nairrutya) portion receives more heat, and so
the walls in that direction are required to be thicker and higher.
Once
again, likewise, limbs, other than the above are also connected with the vaastu
purush and the construction of the building.
Ancients did discover the
"Chakras" in the body of the Vaastu Purush:
The seven chakras are :
1.
Sacral
(mooldhara chakra) at the base, represents earth, in the current dispensation.
2.
Spleen
(swadhisthana chakra) in the lower stomach, near two kidneys, represents water.
3.
Solar
(manipura chakra) at the navel, and the vaastu purush breathes through this.
4.
Heart (anahata chakra) near the heart, relates to
atmosphre or air (vayu).
5.
Throat (visuddha
chakra) in the throat, represents ether (akas), or OM.
6.
And so are the Third Eye or Brow (sahasara
chakra),
7.
And finally
the Crown (ajna chakra).
Needless to state that these chakras must be protected while construction is taken up. Vaastu Purush will suffocate if inlet and outlets are blocked with pillars.
Brahmasthana & Energy Lines
The
Brahmasthana (the central square of the plot) is an important sector. This is the sector round the navel (nabhi) of
the vaastu purusha. This corresponds to
the nine suares of the 81 grid plan (also called the Paramasayika
Padavinyasa). Manasara states that in
the Brahmasthana, the temple of the family deity can be built. Obviously, the area must be kept clean.
The
energy lines running through the centre of the plot are also important, as
these correspond to several body parts of the Vaastu Purush.
The energy lines running diagonally
through the vaastu purush are called Konasutra and declared vulnerable by
Brihat Samhita. The lines
running across the middle points joining the north with south and the east with
west are delicate and termed as Marma Points in “Mayamata”. These vulnerable
points should not be hurt or disturbed by nails, pillars, pegs, heavy objects
and so on. As the troubled parts of the
vaastu purush will reflect on the
owner of the property, these energy lines should be protected.
Ayurveda Trigunas:
From
the point of Ayurvedic Trigunas - three personal disposition or characteristics
of the inmate of the house, the vaastu purush is also divided in three zones,
such as
1.
Paisachika
corresponding to Tamasika attributes or northwest direction,
2.
Manushya
corresponding to Rajasika atttributes represented by south-est direction; and
3.
Deva
corresponding to Sattwik attributes represented by northeast direction.
Ayurveda Tridoshas:
From the point of
view of health of the inmates, the ayurvedic Tridoshas like :
1.
Vata or Vayu
(air principles) corredponding to Northwest,
2.
Pittha or Mayu
(fire principles) corresponding to Southeast, and
3.
Kapha or
Valasa (water principles) corresponding to Northeast have been incorporated.
·
Vata person is
prone to chronic constipation, back pain, paralysis, arthritis, etc.
·
Pittha person
is prone to rashes, itches and liver disorders.
·
Kapha person is prone to congestion of lungs, obesity, bronchitis, sinusitis and cold related ailments.
