Secrets of Vastushastra
$10.99
Vastushastra is an ancient Indian science dealing with construction technology and techniques for building environment-friendly dwellings which are in harmony with nature, cosmic forces and the universe. Cosmic forces, is used as a generalised term. It covers the forces like gravitation, electromagnetism, the electro-weak force and the strong force which are well defined in modern physics. The mathematical analysis describes the forces in terms of their strengths, long range and short range effects, mechanics, various interactions, and in general tries to understand how a force acts, but remains silent on questions like why four types of forces only, or why the individual forces act in a characteristic manner only. Despite the advent of the Grand Unified Field Theory (GUT), the Quark Theory, the Superstring Theory and a host of other theories including the Theory of Everything (TOE), modern physics has not been successful in unearthing the fundamental source of these forces.
Vastushastra goes beyond mathematical description of these forces and studies the nature of these forces in terms of their micro effects on plant and animal life in general, and on human life in particular.
We are living in an era of accelerated scientific and technological progress with its attendant turmoil and turbulence creeping into routine human affairs.
