Pancha Bhootas The Five Great Elements Pancha Bhootas greatly influence human life on earth. They are-(1) Space (Akaash), (2) Air (Vaayu), (3) Fire (light and heat) (Agni), (4) water (jal) and (5) Earth (Prithvi). Space The unending part of the universe beyond the earth's atmosphere in which all other planets and stars exist is known as space- to be precise, outer-space. It influences life on earth through its various forces like gravitational force, light, heat, magnetic field and waves etc. which are worth observing. Astronomy and Astrology relate to movements of Sun, Moon, and 5 other planets etc. through zodiac and tell how they affect life. Air (Vaayu) We can't see air, but can feel it. Air around earth extends up to 400 kms. and mainly consists of oxygen (21%) nitrogen (78%) and the rest other gases like helium, Carbondioxide etc. Without air, there can be no life. Now Air is also used to produce wind-energy to run our machines and light up our homes. Fire (Light & Heat) Agni is the basis of all energy including solar energy, atomic energy, thermal energy and above all animal and human energy. Without light and heat life will be extinct. Water (Jal) Rain, river, seas and oceans all represent water. Water forms part of every plant and animal. Our blood is nothing but water with hemoglobin and oxygen. Now a days water and waves are used for generating energy through hydro power projects and tidal power projects. All the civilisations in the world prospered only on the banks of big rivers. Briefly, the Five basic and essential elements like Earth, Space, Fire, Air and Water affect, influence, guide and change the living styles of not only human beings but every living being on earth. They even go a few steps forward shaping our deeds, destiny, luck and livelihood, behavior and others basics of life. "According to Ayurveda the body is an energy capturing device and this can be captured through the five elementsSpace : by gazing at the stars and sky, Air : by breathing the breath of plants, Fire : by letting the SUN (Morning SUN) shining directly on us. Water : by drinking plentiful pure water (sip hot water every half-an-hour for losing weight) Earth : Removing shoes and directly walking on the Earth will lead to "Renewal" we have to go to the source the earth. Five elements and Vastu Shastra Vastu Shastra, in fact, is nothing but creating a congenial setting or a place to live or work, in most scientific way taking advantages of the benefits bestowed by the five elements called "Pancha Boothaas" of the nature thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, Prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment. Putting up buildings as per principles and practices propounded by Vastu Shastra may be beneficial and compatible- the system of Vastu, evolved by enlightened Indian sages, saints and seers. Some Vaastu guidelines for plots, houses and flats (Tips) Know about the direction and their names Ideal Plot for construction Selection of plot About the over-head Tank Doors and Windows Entrance door should be biggest
Exit Door Directions Selection of Plot Once a suitable site has been selected, observe the following principles while constructing a new house. Ideal Place for construction within the plot Leave more open space in the east and the north as compared to the south and west. Construction is preferred in the South-West quadrant. Overhead Tank Let the overhead tank be in the South-West quadrant avoiding the diagonal. Doors and Windows (i) Have more doors, windows and balconies in the east and the north as compared to the south and west. (ii) It is suggested that doors and windows in the south-west should seldom be used. For balconies in the south-west, have lots of plants; do not leave the space vacant. The balconies in SW should preferably be covered with a collapsible plastic or wooden curtain. Entrance Door Make the entrance door the biggest in the house. A good ratio for a door is L:B. 2:1. The length should be twice the width. Do not have the entrance and the exit doors in a straight line as then whatever comes in tends to flow out. For multi-storied buildings where the set back is the same at front and rear, for a north-south situation raise the southern side and have a slope towards north. For an east-west situation raise the western side and have a slope towards east. Tube-well/Underground Tank Let the tube-well or underground tank be in the NE quadrant, avoiding the diagonal between the NE and the SW.
