Synopsis

Vastu is an ancient Indian science concerned with the arrangement and organization of living and working space. Its aim is to create harmony between people and their environment. Like their feng shui counterparts, Vastu practitioners believe that people should try to fit into the natural flow of universal energy, and that everyone's life can be enhanced by the knowledge and practice of certain key principles. However, that's where the similarity between these two sciences end. Vastu combines architecture, mathematics, geometry, astrology, and philosophy to form an intriguing scientific template that anyone can use to enhance their life. Vastu in 10 Simple Lessons shows readers how to use ancient Vastu principles to arrange their workplace for productivity and prosperity, "clear the air" with incense and herbs, create a Vastu-inspired courtyard in their gardens, and incorporate their unique individiual style within the family home. They'll also learn the best arrangement of living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, as well as the best places in the home for staircases, doors, and even storerooms and garages. Entertaining and easy to understand, Vastu in 10 Simple Lessons is the first book with a jargon-free approach to an age-old science that aims to fill every reader's life with happiness, harmony, and peace.

From Library Journal

Vastu shastra, which originated in Hindu traditions, aims to provide comfortable homes through a systematic approach to building and design. Whelan breaks down the principles of Vastu in a way that clearly and succinctly explains their use in the home, garden, and workplace. For a more comprehensive treatment of the subject, Kathleen Cox's Vastu Living is recommended, but this book is useful as an introduction to this design system. Recommended for large public libraries.
