Vaastu, in a nutshell, is the traditional science of building design and spatial configuration. The individual as well as the collective can live in greater harmony and prosperity when human beings become aware of the subtle connections between space and form. To become aware of the natural environment and to build in consonance with it is the message of vaastu. The science presupposes the psycho-spiritual connection of Indian mythology with human existence. Using the principles of measurement, rhythm and proportion as the basis of all material manifestation, it avers that the mind and spirit are capable of infusing life into a space and promoting the free flow of energy. Vaastu : A Path to Harmonious Living provides insights into design concepts that can help the user to maximise his potential within his/her environment. Interspersed with graphic descriptions, the author shows the reader how to improve health, increase spiritual growth and promote creativity, prosperity and success in life.
