Scientific
Vastu takes into consideration shape as an important factor.
Shape can only be understood from a three dimensional perspective. For example,
if you take a rectangle from a two dimensional shape the feel is different from
a cuboid which is a rectangle in a 3D perspective.
Let us understand we are
in a cuboid. We will observe in a cuboid that two walls meet at a right angle,
the walls and the ceiling too meet at right angle, the walls and the floor are
also sharing a right angle. A perfect cuboid has equal angles all around. The
movement of energy whatsoever, light energy, sound energy, wind energy, moves
at a constant pace, turns at equated angles and therefore finds a space of
movement which is more constant, balanced and stable.
On the contrary, if we are
into a room which is triangular in shape we find will find a more dramatic and
dynamic flow of energy inside the room. If one faces the pointed side of the
room, we will find stress. It is important to understand that Scientific
Vastu considers whatever we construct from a perspective of output or
impact on the occupants. It takes into consideration how do people perceive
shapes and get affected by their impacts.
There are two ways of
learning, one is experiential and other is experimental. When one is in a
triangular shaped room, one may go through many experiences. Second way of
learning is through experimental ways where one experiments through instruments
and understands the impact on life.
When we are in a
triangular room we observe that it has a different impact than a circular and
rectangular room. The more sensitive a person is the higher would be the impact
of the room or the shape of the room. It has been found that squares and
rectangles are very stable shapes especially when we are inside these cuboids.
They give us a very stable mind, relaxed environment and able to generate a
restful environment.
Since square and
rectangles are good shapes, most of the angles recommended are 90 degree and if
there are any cut and extensions or angular drifts, they play a vital role in
movement of energy. Scientific
Vastu takes into consideration shape of the plot, shape of the
building, shape of the rooms and even the room of the furniture. Angles also
play an important role not just in designing Vastu
friendly buildings but also Vastu friendly objects and their effect on the
human mind.
There are many shapes
which are considered auspicious and good, whereby there are shapes which have
not been considered good. This selection
is done on basis of impact these shapes have on human mind. Rectangle and
squares have been widely accepted, admired and used. Generally a square is
highly preferred which has a ratio of 1:1. 1:1 means if the length of the house
is 100 feet, the width is 100. The second preferred shape is a rectangle, where
the proportion should minimum be 1/8thmore than the square. That
means if the length or width of the building is 40 feet, then depth should be
minimum 45, but this ratio can go up to 1:2, that is if the front is 40 feet,
so starting from 45 feet depth it could go to 80 feet. So ratio from 1:1-1:2 is
suggested. Ratio of 1:1.61 which is a golden mean rectangle ratio has also been
suggested. Golden mean rectangle plays a vital role because it relates with
human mind. It is observed that people subconsciously appreciate it.
