Hindu Vedas and Vaasthu!!!
I want to call it as a science, as it concentrates more on the positive vibrations to be be taken care when building a house. It is known that the ancient Egyptian civilization people build their house in places where animals used to put stay at nights. It is a fact that animals live in places of positive vibration. There are four great Vedas in Hindu civilization.
This is the foremost of all the Vedic writings. This consists of 1028 hymns composed in Sanskrit. These hymns are mostly towards praising of God and to be sung during some sacrificial rituals.
There are two primary collections or samhitas of the Yajurveda: Shukla (white) and Krishna (black). Both contain the verses necessary for rituals, but the Krishna Yajurveda has additional prose commentary and detailed instructions within the work itself.
The Samaveda ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rigveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities.
This seems to be a powerful one. The Atharvaveda is considered by many to be a dark and ystic science, pertaining to the spirits and the afterlife. It is told in Mahabharatha, that bheema used to tell some of the scripts in this and they shrunked the 13 years of vanavaasa to 13 days.
Apart from these four vedas, there are four more divisions namely Ayurveda - dealing with the medicine, Dhanurveda - dealing with war and the training for war, Arthasasthra - dealing with political concepts , Sthapathigasastra [ vasthusasthra] - dealing with builldings and sculptures. The last one talks more on how to plan a township, building of temples and building of houses.
more to come on Vasthu in the following posts.
