History of Vastu Shastra
A long time back, there was a pitch battle between Lord Shiva and demon Andhakasura. The fierce battle continued for 500 days. Lord Shiva defeated the demon resulting in ending of the war. However, and due to the labor-intensive works that Shiva sustained throughout the fight caused him to sweat too much. As a result, the droplets of his sweat, when fell on the earth, created a monster bearing an appearance that feared both Gods and Asuras. They approached to Lord Brahma asking for help to get rid of the demon born out of the perspiration of Lord Shiva.
Lord Brahma revealed that the sweat-born demon was none other than Andhakasura himself. Being born out of that manner caused him to become very stronger and fearsome. Since the demon posed a grave threat to the existence of Gods and Asuras, Lord Brahma suggested to them an answer to their plight. He told them to drop the demon on the earth. He said the monster must be thrown upside down from the heaven to the earth.
Complying with the instruction, both Gods and Asuras held each leg of Andhakasura and threw him downward the earth where he fell headlong to the surface. At the time the head of Andhakasura fell in the position of northeast direction (Ishan Kon) while his legs were in the direction of southwest (Naitravya Kon). The direction with which the demon fell on the earth named him later as Vastu Purush or Vastu Dev.
This is the reason that while building a house, it is very important to determine the direction of southwest and northeast in a diagrammatic format on paper lay out by a Vastu Shastra Expert.
In Mahabharata, it is said that king Yuddhistira built a number of royal palaces for the kings and invited them to Indraprastha to attend Rajasuya Yagna. Later the palaces were praised for their exponential heights similar to mountain Kailash. High-walled compounds and ornately doors and other structures accentuated towering personality of the edifice. Most importantly, the structures were without any vastu flaws as they were built in the same design layout plans by which famous Ayodhya was built upon.
Vastu and Directions
To build a vastu-compliant house, it is must to know directions. Unlike traditional methods using sun’s shadow to determine the direction for a house before building it, modern technology relies upon magnetic compass to figure out the direction of a house. The main four major directions in vastu are – North, South, East, and West. They are sub-categorized as – Northeast called Ishaan kon, Northwest called Vayaya, Southeast called Agneya, and Southwest called Nirutya.
Other two directions in vastu are known as – Space (9th direction), and Patal (10th direction).
