Vastushastra and the gravitational pull of the earth

You are being constantly being pulled to the centre of the Earth. Frightened? Don’t be. Unless Earth becomes a black hole, you won’t end up in the core of the planet. Still, there is a force acting on you. It is the sample force that worries you when you step on a weight machine. This force is the gravitational force of the earth, and it acts on all living and non living things.

This force is the most intense in the centre of an object; laying excess pressure on this point by placing heavy objects could be detrimental to the structure. This is why Vastushastra says that a courtyard is advisable in the centre of the house. Besides, a courtyard is considered the most aesthetic source of ventilation.

Vastu tells us how to counter the poles’ effect on our lives?

I have met people who have been living in houses unfit even for animals by vastu standards. I have analysed their mental and physical health before and after they implemented the principles of Vastushastra. The results have been striking. The way some changes in the house at micro level affect the lives of the residents has surprised me. Actually, it scares me, makes me feel too small even to do research in Vastu, because it seems to be more sensible to just accept Vastu as it is.

Could it be that some things are beyond the understanding of the common people like you and me? Magnetic field of Earth forms about 40 to 45 % of vastushastra tenets. The magnetic field works in two ways in vastushastra- one when we are resting and the other when we are awake. In places falling in the northern hemisphere, the North Pole influences them greatly. This magnetic current charges the iron content in our hemoglobin. That’s why, it is important to sleep with the head in the south, so that the brain gets the requisite rest from charged blood flow.

Vastu, a very old Indian science

Vastu, a very old Indian science of structure has recommended how mankind can stay in tune with nature and gain out of it without disturbing the eco-balance.

We are living in the world that Charles Dickens called “Hard Time”. Pressure and Tension which go hand in hand to economic growth are eroding the value systems that were integral of our life. We find our self drawn towards the old value, which are contained in our epic and scripture. If we look at what is happening around during this current century, man in the name of development is indulging in the activities which are detrimental to the very existence of this, our beautiful planet earth and the ecosystem on the whole is getting disturbed.

Log cabins: Factors to be considered while building them

By : Marcus Picton

Log cabins or a cabin shaped house built from wood logs can be an ideal thing to build or buy if you require an extra space in the house. A log cabin can accommodate a children play hub, a spa, a Jacuzzi, a guest room, a pool room, a home office, a personal gym, etc. Some people build log cabins to give them on hire and earn from the monthly rentals. While building a log cabin or hiring someone to do it for you, you must carefully consider a few factors to avoid a costly mistake.

Here are some of the points to be noticed. The first thing that you must assess is the space available for a log cabin. You must carefully measure the space available. If you have a small area to be allotted to a log cabin, you must make sure you utilize the space appropriately. On the other hand if space is not a constraint, you can afford to have a bigger log cabin with multiple storeys. You must also consider your budget for the building or buying of a log cabin. You must access the utility and spend on it only if the utility exceeds the amount spend. There is no point covering an open space and regretting later over the decision made. You must consider all costs involved including labour charges, price of logs, windows, doors, tools, etc. if you are doing it yourself. You can also buy a log cabin kit which generally comes with all the instructions on how to use it to build a perfect one for you.
