I never thought about it. But i can give you a funny reason. Because india is a country where purush is always known as karta dharta. Instead of so much develoment and education in india, well educated families first desire is stree should giove birth to baby boy. I know that this is not funny. This is very serious topic. But for the discussion topic you have started, it is very funny. | |

There is interesting story of Vastu Purusha in Matsya Purana. It narrates the birth of Vastu Purusha. In an encounter with a Rakshasa called Andhikasur, Lord Shiva became tired and exhausted, and he began to sweat profusely. A man was born out of the drops of Lord Shiva’s sweat. He looked very cruel. He was very hungry and began to make penance to appease Lord Shiva and to get a boon from him. Lord Shiva was pleased with his penance and appeared before him. The devotee prayed to Lord Shiva, “Oh Lord! Please permit me to eat away all the three worlds.” Lord Shiva granted his prayer. He got possession of all the three worlds and was about to eat the terrestrial world. The celestial beings, Brahma, Shiva, and the demons were terrified and they caught hold of the devotee and encircled him. Forty-five deities caught hold of the devotee and pressed him down. This Devotee has been in that position ever since that time. Lord Brahma blessed him and said that he would be the deity of all the plots and constructions, and offerings would be made to him. In return Vastu Purusha is said to be taking care of the inmates of the building. | |

Vaastu – A Superstition
A beautiful home all of a sudden becomes unsuitable to live - in because principles of vaastu are not applied to its construction. Why so much importance is given to this ancient science in this modern world of technological know how. Most of us think how superstitious are even some very literate people are to just vaguely follow a so called vaastu expert & change the complete scenario of their living.
Let’s try to know the real science behind this superstition.
Vaastu Shastra , the ancient Indian Architecture Study emphasizes on the basic principles of universal or solar energy , magnetic field of earth & the wind directions.
For instance , a vaastu expert says to sleep facing south or east , now why should one change the complete bed position & in some cases the entire ambience of one’s bedroom for this. The reason – earth has a magnetic field moving from North to South , Human beings also have the same magnetic field moving in the same direction. Now while we sleep facing North our body’s magnetic field would repel with that of Earth’s , & you are not Einstein to guess who is stronger Earth or You, thereby weakening our body strength, creating hormonal imbalances, depressions, pains & aches. Instead if we sleep facing south , it would just be opposite, our body’s magnetic field would attract with that of earth’s creating a harmony.
Sleeping facing east is second best as then we are sleeping in cordinance with the solar energy.
So this was just one truth behind various misunderstanding about vaastu.
Try applying it & you will automatically create a happy living atmosphere for yourself.

Hi Isha,
That is a great description, the more we understand the Vastu principals, the more it makes sense for us to apply them in our lives.
The problem is that we come to understand the principals once the construction has been completed and then getting to demolish something and rebuilding it makes the decision very hard.

Join date: Oct 2009 | The god of structures, Vaasthu purusha, provides protection, happiness and prosperity. In principle, a naturally generated space which within a boundary encompasses the elements of boundless earth, fire, air and ethereal space that also houses a grid of gods for foolproof protection: Aditya (sun), Brahma (life's breath), Shiva (flow of life's energy), Roga (protector from disease), Soma (elixir of life), Kuber(wealth), and Yama(justice and death) to finally achieve the ulterior motive of every human life happiness and harmony always (sat, chit, ananda.)
Mother Earth is Female . Treat Vaasthu purusha as the male which give us protection, happiness and prosperity in conjuction with the mother earth.
Both are important. so when Earth can be Female , Let Vastu bhi Male. | |
